ABSTRACT Water Policy and Theoretical Models: Political, Bureaucratic and Class Dynamics in a Growth Economy explores the three major socio-political theories of the state and public policy: pluralism, elite/managerialism and class-dialecticism using a case study of a series of policy decisions and outcomes during the period from 1989 to 1995 related to the Las Vegas Valley Water District which serves Las Vegas, Nevada. This time period is important due to the unprecedented levels of population growth experienced in the Las Vegas Valley and due to the extreme scarcity of water resources. This case study explores the issues of popular politics, bureaucratic and elite organization and class imperatives as played out in the development of public water policy by the Las Vegas Valley Water District.

    OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVISM, 1901-1917 By GEORGE O. CARNE~ // . Bachelor of Arts Central Missouri State College Warrensburg, Missouri 1964 Master of Arts Central Missouri State College Warrensburg, Missouri 1965 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May, 1972 OKLAHOMA STATE UNiVERSITY LIBRARY MAY 30 1973 ::.a-:r...... ... ~·· .. , .• ··~.• .. ,..,,.·· ,,.,., OKLAHOMA'S UNITED STATES HOUSE DELEGATION AND PROGRESSIVIS~, 1901-1917 Thesis Approved: Oean of the Graduate College PREFACE This dissertation is a study for a single state, Oklahoma, and is designed to test the prevailing Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis concerning progressivism. The "progressive profile" as developed in the Mowry-Chandler-Hofstadter thesis characterizes the progressive as one who possessed distinctive social, economic, and political qualities that distinguished him from the non-progressive. In 1965 in a political history seminar at Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, Missouri, I tested the above model by using a single United States House representative from the state of Missouri. When I came to the Oklahoma State University in 1967, I decided to expand my test of this model by examining the thirteen representatives from Oklahoma during the years 1901 through 1917. In testing the thesis for Oklahoma, I investigated the social, economic, and political characteristics of the members whom Oklahoma sent to the United States House of Representatives during those years, and scrutinized the role they played in the formulation of domestic policy. In addition, a geographical analysis of the various Congressional districts suggested the effects the characteristics of the constituents might have on the representatives.

  • The Progressive Era, 1900-1920
    AP U.S. History: Unit 7.2 Student Edition The Progressive Era, 1900-1920 I. Road to Progressivism Use space below for notes A. The Greenback Labor Party of the 1870s sought to thwart the power of the "robber barons," support organized labor, and institute inflationary monetary measures. Supported primarily by farmers B. Legacy of Populism 1. Populism failed as a third-party cause but it had political influence for 25 years after its failure in the 1896 election. 2. Populist ideas that carried forward: a. railroad legislation (1903 & 1906) b. income tax (16th Amendment, 1912) c. expanded currency and credit structure (1913, 1916) d. direct election of senators (17th Amendment, 1913) e. initiative, referendum and recall (early 1900s in certain states) f. postal savings banks (1910) g. subtreasury plan (1916) 3. Though Populism was geared to rural life, many of its ideas appealed to urban progressives who sought to regulate trusts, reduce political machine influence, and remedy social injustice. POPULISM PROGRESSIVISM NEW DEAL (1890-1896) (1900-1920) (1933-1938) II. Rise of Progressivism th A. Former Mugwumps (reform-minded Republicans of the late-19 century) desired a return to pre-monopoly America. 1. Men of wealth and social standing lamented the changes in America’s political and social climate due to the rise of industrialists: monopoly, plutocracy and oligarchy. a. Protestant/Victorian ideals of hard work and morality leading to success were now threatened by the “nouveau riche,” the super wealthy, who seemed to thrive on conspicuous consumption. b. Earlier Mugwump leaders of local communities were now eclipsed by political machines catering to big business and immigrants.

  • Roosevelt Becomes a Progressive Leader
    ROOSEVELT BECOMES A PROGRESSIVE LEADER Directions: Read the two articles about Roosevelt and answer the questions which follow. Roosevelt the Progressive Theodore Roosevelt, a Harvard graduate and Conservationist, was viewed as the most important representative of Progressivism. He came to people’s attention at the time of the Spanish-American War. His courageous charge up San Juan Hill during that war made him a hero. Roosevelt was elected Republican governor of New York, partly through the efforts of Senator Thomas C. Platt. Platt was the Republican boss of New York State who thought that Roosevelt could help his business interests. However, Roosevelt had no intention of serving Platt’s interests. He attacked the ties between business and government and refused to appoint Platt’s choice for state insurance commissioner. To get Roosevelt out of the governorship, the Republican party nominated him as Vice-President to run with William McKinley. The VP was considered a dead end job; but when McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Roosevelt became President. Roosevelt was an active and strong President. He believed that the Federal Government should become involved when states were unable to deal with problems. He also believed the President should help shape legislative policy. Roosevelt promised farmers, workers, and small business people a “square deal.” When a 1902 coal strike could not be resolved, Roosevelt appointed a commission to make recommendations for settling the strike. For the first time, the federal government intervened in a strike in order to protect the public welfare. Roosevelt worked to curb trusts when they became harmful to the public interest.

Long time ago Lots of fishes… Mabel Wright’s protest prayer-song begins with these words. Sung in May 1964 on the south beach of Pyramid Lake, and accompanied only by a drum, Wright’s song called upon the traditional Paiute power of the spoken word to evoke the lake’s past and to protest threats to its survival. She chose a perfect location. From there, she could view the shoreline and hills where Wizards Beach Man lived more than 9,000 years ago and where fishing tools—a hook, a line made from sagebrush, and a sinker—were found and dated to 9,600 years ago. She could see the place where Sarah Winnemucca—Nevada’s greatest advocate for Native American rights—was born and lived her early years.

  • To America: Personal Reflections of an Historian Study Guide
    To America: Personal Reflections of an Historian Study Guide Name ____________________________ To America: Personal Reflections of an Historian Stephen Ambrose is a world renowned historian and writer. He was chosen by President Eisenhower to be his personal biographer: Eisenhower: Soldier, General of the Army, President- Elect (1890 – 1952); Eisenhower, The President; The Supreme Commander: The War Years of General Dwight D Eisenhower; Eisenhower and Berlin, 1945 & Ike’s Spies. In addition he has written several pieces about WWII, my favorites were Pegasus Bridge, Band of Brothers and The Wild Blue. He has also researched and written about 25 other books about the Construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Lewis and Clark trek across the west, and the Nixon Presidency and more. His work is highly researched and documented; it is presented in a manner that is appealing; Stephen Ambrose has the gift of Storytelling. To America is an interesting culmination of all of his research and writing, but under review. In this love letter to America Ambrose takes us on a journey of reflection. While many of his books discuss an event, his focus is on the humans who made it happen. Reviewing his earlier perspectives of the lives of our national heroes and to some degree villains, in the end he determines that most were men, humans - great humans who under some circumstances make mistakes, use poor judgment, however that should not necessarily summarily remove them from study. Read Ambrose’s arguments and then formulate your own thoughts. We will be discussing each of the chapters in small groups and full class.
