Bureaucracy Problem Is Fault of States Behind much of the demand for a stronger federal govern- ment there lies the simple and unpleasant fact that people no i longer trust their state governments the way they once did. y There are some things, of course, that state governments 2 CLOSEUP? BRITIGN GUNS WHICH MAY cannot do at all. But a great many things which they can-do u ae sessrate axed bern ol Vicscedeed q they seem utterly unable to do well; hence the growing tendency ma ay: to ask Washington to do the things which ought to be done at the state capitals. A revealing sidelight on this was provided the other day by Abraham Epstein, executive secretary of the American As- sociation for Social Security, in an address before the associa- tion at New York. Mr. Epstein was talking about old age pension systems, and he remarked that in too many states such systems have become * “mere cogs in the state political machines.” “Grants are made frequently not on the basis of need, as the laws intend, but on the basis of political expediency,” he said. “Politicians are outbidding each other with promises of bigger and better pensions in order to appease the appetite of organized selfish blocs.” ' Thus there is no uniformity between pension systems in the different states. Thus there are states in which the pension bureau is an acknowledged branch of political patronage. Thus there are states in which pensions are paid, not according to need, but according to what the winning candidates for office have felt it expedient to promise. And as a result of all this, a great many. people have come to feel that the old-age pension problem can be solved only by federal action. Now this is typical of the situation in a great many other fields, and it is one of the most ominous signs in our whole political life. For while we have made real steps in the past generation toward making our federal government reasonably \| efficient and honest, most state governments remain what they es says it neh were several decades ago—the prey of spoils politics at its worst. |he changes his mind.” ’ Because of that fact, we are hamstrung when we bee a Pond camp gp ieee any public issue.

To advocate state in-| have no excuse stead of federal action frequently is equivalent to inviting self- pts seeking politicians to do their worst. A great many people have been worried of late by the vast extension of the federal bureaucracy. The place to which such people should turn their alarmed gaze is the state capital. 4 The federal bureaucracy will continue to expand and grow | 1, is demonstrable, however, ; until we succeed in making our state governments efficient and | court hasn't made any new friends responsive.
