The article focuses on the politics and government of the New York State. The author states that the death of Thomas E. Dewey marked the end of an era in New York State politics. In his Presidential sallies, Dewey may not have been able to make his mark, but in New York he built the most powerful state Republican Party in the nation. When Dewey entered office in 1943, the state had been Democratic for twenty years. Since then, except for the four-year intervention of state legislator Averell Harriman, it has been Republican for three terms under Dewey and four under state legislator Nelson A. Rockefeller.

If Nelson A. Rockefeller were to be elected President in 1968, he would have completed nine years as Governor of New York. Since his election is at least possible, the manner in which Mr. Rockefeller has governed New York becomes a subject of national importance. One first thinks of power when reviewing, the gubernatorial years of Rockefeller. Since he took office in 1959, his administration has built enough new dormitories and academic facilities to accommodate more than 100000 new full-time students at the State University. 12000 miles have extended New York's highway system. As for foreign affairs, Rockefeller was for a period a hawk on Vietnam, saying that the country should support its President.

The article discusses some issues related to politics. Last week's vote of the New York Senate, in ratifying, by 35 to 16, the proposed income tax amendment of the Constitution, undoubtedly presages similar action in the Assembly. This State had, with apparent reason, been reckoned confidently against the amendment; and the effect of this transfer to the column of States in its favor will be more than merely numerical. The adhesion of New York, the most populous and wealthy of all the States, will naturally give a marked impetus to the movement to ratify. There are extremely important questions connected with the present day conditions, which, if they had been in existence when the Constitution was framed, or had been clearly foreseen by its framers, would have been provided for quite differently in the United States. And it is not to be wondered at that many ardent souls are sorely perturbed over these things, and are ready to seize upon any method of getting rid of the obstacles that the Constitution places in the way of their schemes of reform or innovation.

This article focuses on the autonomous government of Robert Moses in New York City, who has never been elected to anything, is richer and more powerful than a good many nations and several Western states. Though its authority rests only on thirty years of appointments and reappointments by New York mayors and governors, it is oddly free of the customary American system of checks and balances. It issues its own revenue bonds. It collects its own taxes in the form of tolls. It raises its own uniformed army. The people's desperate need for Robert Moses is revealed less by the list of his offices than by the offices he never bothers to visit. On the important New York City Planning Commission, one member says that Moses attends darn few meetings, another says, none in eight years.

The article presents information on various socio-political developments around the world. The Republican Party in New York was reorganized in 1871, by Jackson S. Schultz and William Orton. George Bliss has since then taken over the reigns. George Bliss is a person who excites a good deal of hostility, for one reason or another, but he enjoys one great advantage over his enemies in that they never know where to find him. The present stringency in the money market is due in part undoubtedly to the operations of the Treasury, whereby several millions of dollars have been temporarily locked up to meet the December call for bonds to be redeemed.

This article focuses on the political and economic developments in various parts of the world. The French news consists mainly of the struggles of the Government with the question of taxation, with which both M. Thiers and M. Pouyer-Quertier are ill fitted to deal, and both find themselves arrayed against the leading French economists on the plan of taxing raw materials, which is M. Pouyer-Quertier's hobby, and not taxing incomes, which is M.Thiers's. Mr. Freeman Clarke has introduced a bill providing for a return to specie payments which will probably not pass, and which with some good features has one which is fatally bad. It authorizes the President to order resumption by proclamation at thirty days' notice, on or before January, 1873, but permits the reissue of the notes so redeemed, and directs the national banks to provide an agent in New York to redeem their notes in lawful money.

Just as educational television seemed to be in the bag, a commission controlled by New York's governor took a long step toward a blackout. The state's Temporary Commission on the Use of Television for Educational Purposes, after a good deal of obvious political flimflam, suddenly whipped up a report paying up service to the "desirability" of educational television but advising the legislature not to spend a dime for the purpose. As a bitter minority of the commission said in a dissenting note, the cost of putting New York State into the business of building and operating a network of ten television stations would have amounted to "the equivalent of one-half mile of county road."

November 16. 1967, was a red letter day in New York politics. New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller got so angry at Mayor John Lindsay that he committed a rare breach of political etiquette, he spoke his real feelings in public. The feud erupts after Lindsay has commented some unpleasant remarks regarding Rockefeller's U.S. Presidential candidature on Sunday, November 12. On Tuesday, he and the Governor met face to face at a meeting called to announce a new council promoting labor-management peace in New York. Rockefeller reportedly told friends that Lindsay was out to kill him off as a possible candidate, that Lindsay wanted the nomination himself.

The article presents information on several socio-political developments from across the world. It is possible that the officers of the New York Central Railroad Company will be able to give a better look than they now wear to the peculiar facts relating to their figures of operating expenses, as brought out by the report of J.C. Wallace, one of the examiners of the Interstate Commerce Commission. If they are able to do so, the sooner they go about it the better. Such a political crisis as that which has been precipitated upon Great Britain is usually the work of extremists in both parties. The moderate men on either side would seek an arrangement, instead of rushing to battle. So they would, apparently, at the present juncture. There are both Liberals and Conservatives of weight and influence, constituting a sort of middle body of opinion, who deplore a rash appeal to the "ratio ultima," and still maintain that a great Constitutional question can be settled by the give-and-take of responsible statesmen better than by a count of noses.

They were written and compiled under the supervision of the Committee, by Archibald E. Stevenson with the aid of several less distinguished collaborators. Next, it must be said that the work is an amazing monument to the industry and the patience of Stevenson. Through its leaves one can fairly see him poring patiently over the pages of other people's letters hour after hour and day after day.

The article focuses on issues related to politics in New York. The democrats have done a good piece of work at Syracuse, New York. The platform has again the remarkable merit of being plain, un-adorned English. It quotes the Baltimore, Maryland planks of 1872 calling for the maintenance of the public credit and a speedy return to specie payments, ascribes the existing depression in business to the reaction from the excessive stimulus of an unhealthy, excessive, depreciated, and irredeemable currency, to enormous ill-adjusted municipal, State, and Federal taxation, and to extravagance, waste, and peculation in the administration of public affairs. The difficulties of the Republican press in dealing with both the platform and the ticket are very interesting, and are only equaled by its difficulty in dealing with Governor Samuel Tilden's pursuit of the Canal Ring. The position it has taken with regard to the latter is that all detection and prosecution of Canal thieves is mere vanity, if not wickedness, unless accompanied by the promulgation of a striking plan for the administration of the canals hereafter, and it deduces the covert immorality in the whole movement a priori from the inherent badness of Tilden's nature.

The article presents information on various socio-political developments around the world. The public at large throughout the United States does not give to the proceedings of the remarkable body which is now in session at Albany the attention they deserve. The present Legislature is admitted to be a fair specimen of a New York legislature, and it is engaged in solving one of the most difficult problems that can present itself to the people of a powerful and wealthy State like New York. The Secretary of the Treasury discovers by means of outside informers, that a very large number of manufacturers in various parts of the country are engaged in the commission of systematic frauds on the Government on an enormous scale.

The article presents information on various socio-political developments around the world. A visit to Bergamo is not often undertaken, and, so near Milan, the place is seldom visited by travelers. This old city has now fallen from its old glory; it has ceased to be one of the defenses of Italy, one of the great centers of communal life of Lombardy. The nomination of Governor Lucius Robinson by the Democrats at Syracuse, and the bolting of the Tammany faction, promise to make the coming election one of more than usual interest, especially to those who care for the cause of good government.
