Proposed constitutional edits reshape state departments
A plan to enlarge the Public Welfare Department by adding unaffiliated executive units would shift social security tax collection to a new basis, save the federal government about 100000 dollars annually, and centralize prison inspection and charitable institution oversight. A separate Industrial Relations Department would merge labor banking and insurance and building and loan agencies under a single head. Proposals include amendments to pardon and parole, poll taxes, and biennial legislative sessions with a 60 day limit and ten dollar daily pay. the changes take effect after the next governor's term.
