Excerpt from Local Government in Wisconsin In 1836 was passed a general law Of village incorporation, and in 1838 towns were organized for judicial and police pur poses, and given some minor power in regard to roads. The statute books Of the first years Of the Territory Show numerous instances Of direct control of local affairs through Special acts Of the legislature. Thus counties were authorized to build bridges and levy taxes therefor, to borrow money, set Off towns, sell lands, Open roads, etc. SO also towns were empowered to borrow money and school districts to levy taxes. But by the law Of 1841, presently to be described, this inter ference with local concerns was largely prevented by the enactment of general regulations. The more extensive and Complex the local business the greater becomes the evil and in fact the impracticability Of special legislation.

Excerpt from Laws of Wisconsin Concerning the Organization and Government of Towns, and the Powers and Duties of Town Officers and Boards of Supervisors: With Numerous Practical Forms Some time since, the compiler prepared a work similar to this, for the State of Illinois, of which ten copies were furnished by the State to each town, making, in the aggregate, seven thousand copies. Nearly every county ha since ordered an additional supply for distribution among the towns, by which fifteen thousand copies in all have now been disposed of in that State; which proves, in some degree, the utility of a work of this nature.

Excerpt from The Wisconsin Idea Thanks to the movement for genuinely democratic popular government which Senator La Follette led to overwhelming victory in Wisconsin, that state has become literally a laboratory for wise experimental legislation aiming to secure the social and political betterment of the people as a whole. Nothing is easier than to demand, on the stump, or in essays and editorials, the abolition of injustice and the securing to each man of his rights. But actually to accomplish practical and effective work along the line of such utterances is so hard that the average public man, and average public writer, have not even attempted it; and unfortunately too many of the men in public life who have seemed to attempt it have contented themselves with enacting legislation which, just because it made believe to do so much, in reality accomplished very little. But in Wisconsin there has been a successful effort to redeem the promises by performances, and to reduce theories into practice. In consequence legislative leaders and reformers pushing legislation in other states write by the hundred to the men in power in Wisconsin asking for information on what has been done. Mr. McCarthy, the chief of the Legislative Reference Library of the Free Library Commission, has written this book primarily to answer such inquiries.

Excerpt from Wisconsin an Experiment in Democracy If the state is corrupt, the cities will reflect its conditions. Nor can the national government rise above its source. It will mirror the machinery of nomination and election, as well as the character of the legislature, which selects the members of the United States senate. The state is the source of civil and criminal law, of domestic and industrial relations. It is the guardian of the peace, of the health and education of the people. It controls the roads and highways. It regulates the railroads and common carriers. Industrial and labor legislation fall within its juris diction, as does the care of women and child workers. Its taxing power is ample to promote a social policy. Only the federal taxes are denied to it. It can tax and through taxation destroy, as it does in the liquor business. It controls education. Our west ern states have developed a comprehensive pro gramme of higher education. They are extending it to all classes by extension teaching and the appli cation oi scientific methods to agriculture. The indigent, unfortunate, and criminal classes are wards of the state, while the promotion of almost any policy for the improvement of social conditions is within its power. Wisconsin has raised the state from the low estate into which it had fallen and converted it into a vital political agency. It is utilizing the latent powers of commonwealth building. Twenty years ago Wisconsin was not unlike other states. Its legislature was discredited and corrupt. The bien nial bartering of legislation, of place and privilege, the boss and machine control were not dissimilar from conditions disclosed in other states. All this has passed away. In a few years time Wis consin has become the most efficient commonwealth in the Union. Of the honesty of the legislative and administrative departments there is no question. Executive offices are filled with trained men who are animated by enthusiasm for the public service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
