The Light in Arkansas
Arkansas is holding up u legisla-
tive light to the world. Over at Little
I Rock the other day eight state boards,
I three state offices anil about a dozen
■ bureaus went out of existence. Be-
I cause it is Arkansas you may laugh
j if you want to hut there are millions
of people, if they every hear about
it, who will state in no uncertain
term that Arkansas is pointing the
way that ought to be traveled by
other government Itself.
In the federal government, in every
state government new officers, new
bureaus, new commissions are being j
created with reckless abandon and j
uncounted cost. Somebody fii^ls a
new hobby promotes it in a legisla-
ture, gets a bureau or a commission
appointed, sometimes with and some-
times salaries attached. But as time
goes on these commissions anil bu-
reaus gather sufficient political
strength to get the succeeding leg-
islature to appropriate money for
their use and another expensive de-
partment has been added to the
state's payroll. Its a poor bureau or
commission in deed that cannot scrape
to gether enough facts and well sound-
ing reasons to promote their own
salaries and express. And their nec-
essities always grow. No congress no
legislature meets that does not see
a new crop of this sort of state ex-
pense born. They seldom go out of
existence for even though the pur-
pose for which created may have been
.served, tlie salaried members and
employes are resorceful enough to
always have unfinished business on
hand and new field to conquer in the
future.
This system has grown right in our
own state until the number of people
on the state payroll with expense
accounts would amaze the average
person if he could ever find out the
facts. But the chances are most of us
never will. It would take Charley
McCloud. and Charlie Is our very best
little state detective, had a bureau
created for himself by the last leg-
islature, a year to make an exact
report on who is on the state payroll
for salary and expense account and
how much. No newspaper would ever
be able to get it. No state official
would be willing to have the record
shown, unless he was going out of
office. It would probably ruin any
administration that would make such
a report.
But the light shines in Arkansas,
