of them were paying lip service to the histerical tenets of States' rights
while wanting to take all they could get from the Federal Gevernment!
This was put to the test in 1957. In a very creative move President
Eisenhewer prepesed turming over to the States some specific Federal functions
aleng with the tax revenues for them to assume the services. Ni action was
taken.
It ill beheoves me as a Congressman to tell State gevernments how to de
their jobs. But it dees strike this observer that there are many ways for the
States to kelp themselves restere their preper and vital function in the
American system.
Many State geveraments are desperately in nedd of streamlining. Seme of
them sag under the weight of tee many bexes on their orgamizational charts. No
lenger can they afferd the luxury of operating under outmeded systems of
management.
There is a great lesson for other States in the work that Geerge Remney
performed in rewriting the Michigan constitution. Ours was not the only State
constitution that was less than perfect. One State, for example, is now
gevernad by a document that centains 217,000 words and 407 amendments!
