A Search for Good Government in the Early 20th Century

One of the Legislative Reference Library's most popular resources for researching legislative sessions long ago is a set of small books published every two years from 1909-1927 (with the exception of 1925). These books by Lynn Haines, C.J. Buell, and J.W. Witham set out to promote good government and expose legislators influenced by special interests. In The Minnesota Legislature of 1911, Lynn Haines suggested that legislative spending on supplies was profligate. "Four hundred and forty-four pocket knives for 120 House members and 264 pocket knives for 63 Senators! Who got the rest? Even if every employee of both branches, all the “alumni coaches” and brewery lobbyists were supplied there would still be several hundred to be accounted for." Throughout his accounts Haines divided legislators into two main camps: reactionaries, "one who, by opposing a larger scope and scheme of democracy, represents the special interests," and insurgents, "one who places principle over party." We have scanned the set of overviews for everyone to enjoy. You can link to the books, and read more excerpts at: http://www.leg.mn/webcontent/lrl/pdf/archive/overviews.pdf

Contact a librarian if you would like a copy of any of the legislative overviews, or if we can help with any other information needs. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/leg/comments.asp, or 651-296-8338.
