1313's MAIL ORDER LAWS ARE RESHAPING AMERICA
The Montgomery County Observer
The Observer published this story back in 1993, but since there is a new
effort for a "Conference of States" by the Council of State Governments
(CSG) it is important that our readers know what CSG is and it's historical
backgroud.
Back in 1990 "Congressman James Greenwood (R) of Bucks County was one of
32 individuals from across the nation who was "groomed for leadership" in
the Council of State Governments 1990 Henry Toll Fellowship Program, a
five-day symposium that was held in Kentucky." This announcement that
appeared in a Bucks County newspaper aroused our curiosity as to what is the
Council of State Governments?
As we found out with the help of Ed Balajeski, CSG is one of the
bellwethers of the 1313 political syndicate, that operates as one of the
mail-order law factories that are reshaping American Legislature.
The Inner Core
Presidents of the United States from Franklin D. Roosevelt to the present
have taken whacks at the attempt to do over representative government and to
substitute an administrative dictatorship.
FDR got things rolling by appointing an administrative management team
(1936-37) headed by Louis Brownlow with Luther Gulick and Charles E.
Merriam, all Co-founders of the Public Administration Center
(clearing-house), 1313 E. 60th St., Chicago 60637. Self-named "1313," the
political syndicate propagated Metro regional governance, the current
embodiment of the reform movement. President Nixon presented his
reorganization plan Doc. No. 92-75) March 25, 1971, praising the committee
among others. Nixon made no mention of where FDR got his radical ideas. One
tracing leads to Jacob L. Moreno, European psychiatrist, who entered the
U.S. in 1925 and eventually reached President Roosevelt at Hyde Park who
said to him, "When I am back in Washington, I will see where your ideas can
be put to use."
Moreno boasted that he had come to implant his social-change notions in
the United States rather than in Soviet Russia because another fellow, Marx,
had already got a similar system working in the U.S.S.R. Moreno envisioned
for the U.S.A. an administrative Dept. of Human Relations as a nuclear
structure reaching down to sub-group units at the neighborhood level. Today,
Moreno's structure is stunningly evident in the "model cities" neighborhood
voter systems where low income/welfare cases vote for their "needs" in
elections that are not based on legal voting rolls. The group consensus is
directed by city managers (administrative sector) upward to the federal
Housing and Urban Development Dept. (HUD). The process bypasses the U.S.
Congress, and people are conditioned to shun their representative processes
of government.
Metro grew like crabweed during the 30's and 40's due to anonymity. Louis
Brownlow, founder of the Metro-1313 syndicate, titled the second half of his
autobiography "A Passion For Anonymity." The Administration Clearing House
was born in Europe at Geneva over a bottle of burgundy shared by Brownlow
and Beardsley Ruml. Brownlow, Franklin D. Roosevelt legman, had the
political connections. Ruml, director of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Fund,
had access to the money.
Rockefeller money from the tax-exempt Spelman Fund put CSG on its feet in
1930. That original $40,000 grant conditioned on Henry W. Toll becoming
CSG's director, was the first on many appropriations by the tax-exempt R-S
fund. Later financial boosters included the tax-exempt Carnegie Corporation.
Today, CSG is on the verge of remaking all fifty state legislatures.
The Carnegie Corporation appropriated $260,000 in 1968 to hold bull
sessions among state legislators. It illustrates how the abused tax-exempt
privilege is keeping political meddling and manipulation alive against the
best interests of citizens self-government.
Perhaps CSG became embarrassed by the notorious 1313 address. Reportedly,
CSC's governing board's executive committee met April 1967, in Lexington to
give its members a preview of site possibilities. In Spring 1969, CSG moved
from the "1313" Chicago core into the splendored headquarters provided by
the State of Kentucky on a 40 acre site in the Lexington bluegrass country.
As one non-Metro visitor put it, "far from the madding crowd and maddening
information seekers.
CSG's new rectangular building is designed with thirteen tall arches on
each of the longer sides at Iron Works Pike, Lexington, Ky. 40505.
Thirteen-Thirteen. CSG regional offices are in New York, Atlanta and San
Francisco. Its midwestern office remains at the Chicago address.
The Governors Conference, is one of the many 1313 organizations which CSG
staffs and manages. On top of the tax-exempt Foundation funds, CSG collects
whopping annual tribute from all fifty states. Your tax dollars are sent to
a politico-economic syndicate which tampers with your State's law-making
machinery.
Today, Metro-executive governance administered by appointees, is in sight
of its goal to take over American representative government. An interlocking
directorate, self-perpetuated by 1313, steers the giant holding group. The
impropriety of such undue concentration of power is concealed by talk about
the need to "modernize" and to "innovate."
In mid-1969, the giant politico-economic 1313 conglomerate moved closer
to its kin in the financial field, a banking conglomerate which seeks the
vast power inherent in the present One-Bank Holding Company Law. Chase
Manhattan Bank, a Rockefeller adjunct, attempted to condition a
Congressional committee to favor non-restrictive status quo legislation. A
horrified Congressman, warning against the possible takeover of small and
large businesses to be operated by giant "one-banks," regrets that so few
businessmen step forward to protest their economic death warrant. It is
Congress that stays silent.
THE LAWYERS HAVE KNOWN IT ALL ALONG
By now, a couple of million Americans know what the trouble is: Americans
are losing ground, falling back step by step as the bureaucratic
dictatorship spreads out from Wash., DC. It regulates Americans by non-laws
enforced through the regional Metro system. When the President regulates the
whole United States, he does so by Executive Orders. The non-laws and orders
both are part of the non-American practice. "We have developed something
quite different than what our Founding Fathers talked about," said Dr. Frank
Newman of the University of California. "I think it is very clear that most
of our laws-certainly our most important laws-at the present time are not
enacted by the legislature-by the Congress-but rather by government
officials to whom Congress has delegated legislative power. The lawyers know
that!"
The professor of international law was speaking to a meeting of the World
Peace Through Law group (WPTL) reportedly of the American Bar Assn. Its
members, occupationally slanted, claim that worldwide law could bring peace.
In his taped remarks, the lawyer went on to say that the bulk of legal work
today is concerned "with that kind of law, that is-laws from the
bureaucrats, rather than law from the Congress."
Why don't the many Americans who know about the peril defeat the peril?
Sadly, in trying to make themselves heard, they can't compete with the
prizes among the popcorn in the Federal Cracker Jacks. Mayors and other
public officials throng Washington, DC., leaving unsolved problems at home
while they jostle each other in competition for
federal aid. "We want that money," they say, "We've got it coming to us."
World Citizenship
The 20th century is drawing to a close with Americans confronted by
Declarations of a New World Order, drawn and signed by public officials in
the United States without the consent and sometimes without the knowledge of
the citizens. The documents are signed by grown men and women violating
their oaths of office as elected officials or their oaths of loyalty and
allegiance as citizens of the United States of America.
After the appearance of the first world citizenship document in the
United States in 1968, other declarations followed, each bolder than the
last. American citizens have nothing to gain from being world citizens. But
they have much to lose.
That is the organization that "groomed for leadership" Congressman James
Greenwood (R) of Bucks County back in 1990. As we started digging for more
information, we came across an article by Jo Hindman published back in 1962
in DAR Magazine that sheds some light on this organization. We reprint
portions this article so our readers may understand the plan that are
letting collectivists take over our government through planted legislation.
1313's MAIL ORDER LAWS
"A political law factory in Chicago has been drafting legislation
engineered to rob millions of Americans of their freedoms, such as the right
to vote and the right to own property.
Legislators who lack judgment or intentionally collaborate are betraying
their constituents by enacting mail-order legislation's.
Trafficking in mail-order laws, drafted by political ghost writers, may
seem so zany as to challenge belief, yet proof exists. Plainly traced
political transmission belts lead from the seat of Metropolitan Government
at 1313 East 60th Street, Chicago, the notorious " 1313" University of
Chicago address, to the capitals of the states and the federal government.
Troublesome and oddly uniform bills, appearing simultaneously in various
state legislatures back in 1959 sessions, aroused citizen curiosity and led
to detection of the amazing law factory hidden in the Council of State
Governments (CSG) at the collectivistic Metropolitan Government capitol. The
entire "1313" cadre, which includes organizations in addition to CSG, is
known around the globe as the Public Administration Clearinghouse.
"1313" legislation, generally, proposes collectivism through features
such as consolidation of government units, imposition of extra-layer
metropolitan authorities, multi-purpose districts and regions, government by
appointed executives, the "short ballot," and expansion of "trillion dollar"
urban renewal redevelopment at taxpayer expense.
The secretariat of the Council of State Governments operates the Metro-"
1313" lawmaking machine which, ironically enough, is financed by American
taxpayers, including those in, Hawaii.
CSG was swaddled in New Deal blankets and placed on the doorstep of
America, back in the thirties. States of the Union hold "membership" in the
CSG, pay tribute in the form of "dues" and take orders written up in the
form of "model" and uniform slate laws.
Most of the states follow a pattern laid down by CSG which involves
statutory creation of a State Commission on Interstate Cooperation. Some
states claim that approval of the state appropriation. act covering "dues"
to the CSG is the only provision legalizing the CSG-State hookup. Other
state CSG "memberships" are bought by action of Governors, who dip into
contingent funds for the money when both statutory and appropriation
approval are lacking.
The state agencies-Commissions on Interstate (or Intergovernmental)
Cooperation-transmit the dues and handle CSG activity. Some of the state
commissions render published reports, some do not.
At federal level, the Bureau of the Budget acts in liaison capacity with
CSG and gathers together proposals on which federal agencies wish state
approval.
A wartime emergency-involving federal-state cooperation in drafting state
legislation by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws ( NCCUSL ), the CSG and the U.S. Department of Justice- was seized upon
as a device to perpetuate CSG control. As a result, CSG created its
Committee on Suggested State Legislation and established a cooperative
arrangement with Nickels. which provides CG with a handy network through
State Commissions on Uniform Laws.
Via this belt, which CG controls by veto, CG transmits suggested
proposals to the states, and to the Executive Office of the President of the
United States, which, in turn, sends state-directed proposals through the
CSG for handling in a process bluntly referred to in Washington as "selling
the program."
The right of state legislatures to pass laws as they see fit is a
fundamental principle of federalism reserved by the Tenth Amendment, but
collectivists worship uniformity and fear diversity. The "1313" mentality
deals in sophist argumentation (e.g. that a traffic light should mean the
same thing in Rhode Island as it does in Oregon) to blur the fact that the
evil of an unconstitutional law can be dangerously magnified by " 1313's"
mail-order distribution.
The lawmaking arrangement of CSG has had the effect of moving the seat of
American government from the states and the national capital to the dismal "
1313" building on the University of Chicago campus. Even the NCCUSL
maintains headquarters near the CSG at a campus address, 1155 East 60th
Street, Chicago 37. CSG states that "there is no regional 'separatism' in
the Council (of state governments). All who serve the council serve all the
states." Therefore, the following typical setup will illustrate the CSG
mail-order apparatus.
The CSG circulates a mail-order catalogue of laws-title: Suggested State
Legislation-Program for (year), prepared by the Committee of State Officials
on Suggested State Legislation ( CSOSSL ). Originally issued on a biennial
basis, publication has been annual since 1947. (See Index to Suggested State
Legislation, Programs for 1941-57, Council of State Governments, " 1313." )
Proposals for draft laws are discussed in sessions sponsored by CSG's CSOSSL.
The following example of a proposal, U.S. Government sponsored, which
flunked the CSG examination, illustrates the extent to which American
lawmaking has been captured by the silent "1313" government. (See 30th
Report, Committee on Government Operations, House Report No. 2533, August 8,
1958, page 74):
In December, 1954, an interdepartmental committee was formed within the
executive branch of the Federal Government to make a study of problems
relating to the jurisdiction of federally-owned areas within the several
states. Part I of the Interdepartmental committee's report, released in
April, 1956, recommended certain administrative action, federal legislation
and complementary state legislation.
The state statute proposed by the committee was reviewed by CSG's
Committee on Suggested State Legislation, but was not recommended for
inclusion in the program of suggested state legislation.
Regardless of the merits or demerits of the federally-proposed statute,
things have come to a sorry pass in America when a clique guided by
bootstrap bureaucrats can sit in judgment upon what is suitable or not
suitable to be considered as a law in the United States, and to substitute
draft laws of their own invention.
The CSG factor of conformity, twinned with the smoothly-geared CSG
communication system, has been causing the headaches of Americans whose
legislatures have been hit by the Metro legislative shrapnel.
Half-baked experiments in weird fields, such as urban renewal demolition
and mental health legislation, have led to ill-considered adoption in
various states due to the mail-order operation. For instance, CSG's
mail-order law covering mental health community services has been adapted
and passed in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, California and Minnesota.
The foregoing draft act which forms a legislative research exchange
appears to be the springboard for another Metro shortcut-the ''short
session," or a way to shorten Legislative sessions by relieving elected
legislators from writing their proposed laws-Metro interns to provide the
research and bill-drafting.
The Ford Foundation is collaborating along these lines by furnishing
assistance for legislative and congressional internships through grants of
$200,000 to the University of California and $211,250 to the American
Political Science Association, Washington.
California participates in the experimental arrangement through its
Legislative Intern Program whereby the State Assembly agrees to employ
approximately ten of the "interns" who serve as confidential aides to the
members of the Legislature and receive $400 monthly, the controversial
foundation paying half of the salary.
This raises the question: Why should any non-government organization be
permitted to contribute any part of the salary of any person employed in any
branch of government, either as legislative, judicial or administrative aides?
The CSG machinery is as formidable as it is ruinous to grass-root home
rule. In given time, the uniform mail-order law movement could bind all
states of the republic under disastrous collectivistic Metro government.
Evidence of Metro-"1313's" inroads are nationwide by 1959:
Indiana. A bill proposed to abolish the board of county commissioners,
then to provide for appointment by a county council of an administrative
officer (county manager) who would be the head of county government.
Illinois. A sleeper law had its firing pin pulled by Metro amendment.
Altered sections of the 1941 "Revised Cities and Villages Act," set in
motion activity Ieading toward abolishment of the offices of mayor, clerk,
treasurer and all other elected officials.
Florida. A Metro-"1313"-backed move was attempted to pry open the state
to federal urban renewal funds. The legislation was beaten down early in the
1959 Legislature, revived and beaten down again almost as the closing gong
sounded.
Iowa. Another hoary Metro objective was furthered in promoting a "short
ballot" attempt. Abolishing elective offices shortens the ballot. The bill,
which provided for appointment rather than election of three members of the
Iowa Commerce Commission, beginning in 1963, passed both houses of the Iowa
Legislature.
Challenged, a State Assemblyman admitted his connection with "1313" and
blustered: "Government is terribly corrupt; we're just trying to clean it
up." Upon the same dusty excuse did Metro-" 1313's" parent body, the
National Municipal League, introduce itself at the turn of the century.
Today the collectivism of ~'1313" penetrates practically every level of
government. The crazy hawking of "1313" Legislation throughout the states
may carry graver undertones, due to a fact recently uncovered: CSG is part
of a linkage that leads into Red Russia, as follows: (See Appendix 24 of
UNESCO, 10c/41, Paris, June 30, 1958).
CSG interlocks with Committee on International Municipal Cooperation
which transmits funds raised in the United States to International Union of
Local Authorities, the organization that commingles with Communist
Yugoslavia and Communist East Germany, the latter through International
Federation for Documentation an international information pool. Records
further reveal that IFD collaborates with USSR, through the International
Committee Social Sciences Documentation in sharing Legal information,
included an annotated up-to-data bibliography on law in the United States of
America.
This raises the serious question: Is the entire CSG alliance of states a
direct violation of the Constitution of the United States, Article 1, Sec.10
(1), which expressly forbids states from entering into any confederation?
Legislation that enables CSG membership, through commissions on interstate
cooperation, is regarded as a "compact" by certain authorities. Constitution
of the United States, Article I, Sec. 10 (3), requires the consent of
Congress to validate compacts between states. Have the CSG member states
gained this consent? Or are their statutes of interstate cooperation
unconstitutional?
Montana did not come into the CSG fold by statute until 1959, although
Montana's first payment to CSG from an appropriation of the governor's
office was made in 1955. Hawaii has come into the CSG orbit in similar
manner, without statute, upon action taken by the governor, who allotted $
1000 from his contingent fund in 1958 as the first payment of Hawaii's
membership dues to CSG and another $1000 for 1959.
State payments to CSG have been determined on the basis of a formula that
assigns a quota to all the states of the Union. The current suggested
contribution schedule is based upon a revision adopted December, 1958, by
the CSG, board of managers and would raise the rate from $469,472 to
$610,250 per year. The new formula is based on the estimated population of
the states on July 1957, and a dollar factor of $1,750 per 500,000
inhabitants. Thus a state civilian population of ten million, using the
$3,500 per-million-inhabitants-rate would produce a quota of $35,000.
States commit themselves to unlimited and sweeping CSG allegiance by
charging their (CSG) Commissions on Interstate/Intergovernmental
Cooperation, as follows:
"It shall be the function of this Commission, (1) to carry forward the
participation of this state as a member of the CSG . . . in short, to do all
such acts as will in the opinion of the Commission, enable this state to do
its part or more than its part in forming a more perfect union among the
various governments in the United States and in developing Council of State
Governments for that purpose." In many state statutes, the following typical
section sounds like more of the New Deal hokus pokus: "The Council of State
Governments is hereby declared to be a joint governmental agency of this
state and of the other states which cooperate through it."
Operating from " 1313" headquarters, CSG maintains branches in New York,
Washington, D.C., and San Francisco. It claims that it is the secretariat
for America's 7,500 state legislators, the Governor's Conference, the
Conference of Chief Justices, the National Association of Attorneys General,
the National Association of State Budget Officers, the National Legislative
Conference, the National Association of State Purchasing Officials, the
Parole and Probation Compact Administrators' Association, the Association of
Juvenile Compact Administrators and the National Conference of Court
Administrative Officers; and that it works closely with other organizations
serving state government.
In addition to its mail-order law business, CSG machinery runs "quick
surveys," gathers copies of laws passed by the states, operates programs
including information service, research and publications, arranges national
and regional meetings where elected public officials are wined and dined by
attaches of the CSG shadow government that anonymously conducts the
proceedings. The freeloading politician sees nothing wrong in taking " 1313"
prompting-taxpayers be hanged! The "experts" from " 1313" see the American
population as a vast force to be regimented and taxed.
CSG instrumentation has enacted legislation, such as "emergency" location
of state and political subdivisions' governments outside territorial limits,
and has approved motorboat registration in which aliens are exempted from
identifying their craft, but American owners are subject to punishment for
non-conformance. CSG keeps an up-to-date file on urban renewal activities
including bill drafting and referral services on "model" amendments to
existing housing laws.
CSG has thrown its weight at the federal level by cooperating closely
with the Federal Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (the Kestenbaum
Commission), whose recommendations appear to be a favorite reservoir
frequently tapped by CSG in drafting legislation.
In 1958 CSG provided staff services to the Joint Federal-State Action
Committee, appointed by the President of the United States, (I) to study
federal-state-local relationships with emphasis on federal grants-in-aid,
and (2) to evaluate the recommendations of the Kestnbaum Commission, the
very body whose work was assisted by CSG!
CSG's pose as champion of the states appears preposterous when measured
beside its ultimate objectives; these are stated thoroughly in the CSG
Report to the Governors Conference, published in 1956, and forecasting a
progressing consolidation of governmental units. Under a collectivistic
program such as that, political state boundaries and state sovereignty would
disappear.
A new height of boldness has been reached by a " 1313" bid for U.S.
cabinet status. National Municipal League, ' 1313" parent body suggests a
U.S. Council on Metro, a multi-member agency to provide the President with
Metro information.
The " 1313 " advance in 1959 through CSG's Metro laws, generated such
friction between citizens and their pro-Metro legislators that intraMetro
criticism has developed. A certain planner whose advice was ignored by a
counterpart in another state, crowed: "I might have predicted that if the
job were well done on a limited basis that there would be created a climate
agreeable to reorganizing."
Warning against rash haste also sounded from " 1313" headquarters in a
CSG publication that reads:
"These adjustments can hardly be effected without some friction. How much
friction will develop depends in part upon the wisdom of those empowered to
alter the boundaries [of political power] and in part upon the speed with
which such changes are effected. Of course, the question of speed really
involves the exercise of judgment and the use of wisdom...."
Collectivists are running away with American governments under a veneer
of legality provided by cooperative legislators. This is driving ranked-file
Americans into the position of battling against the overwhelming flood of
welfare statism introduced by legislators whose CSG-collaboration transforms
them from elected Jekylls into " 1313" Hydes.
Add to all this the fact that CSG has destroyed the power and integrity
of certain governmental commissions and committees by supplying silent
"staffs" and secretariats which slant research, rig public hearings and
write self-serving reports.
It is time for modern Americans to assert who is to control American
government-citizens or agents of a bloated political fungus growing within
the Republic?
A cure could be instantly obtained by a requirement that governmental
officials, appointees, employees and aides and interns submit sworn
statements listing the names of organizations in which the elected
representative or the public servant has held, or holds, membership, the
statement to be placed on public file.
A correcting step can be taken simply by withholding state funds from the
CSG for the wealthier and more powerful CSG grows, the worse will become the
plight of government that rightfully belongs to American citizens. Check to
learn what your state is paying the Council of State Governments.
