    Legislative ;Blistnnsin ~riefs from the Reference Bureau Brief 79-3 April 1979 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE WISCONSIN ELECTORATE APRIL 3, 1979 I. INTRODUCTION Only one proposed amendment to the Wisconsin Constitution will be submitted to the Wisconsin electorate for ratification at the election on April 3, 1979. This constitutional amendment, appearing on the ballot in the form of four questions, provides for gubernatorial succession, filling a vacancy in the office of lieutenant governor, selection of the Senate's presiding officer from among the members of the Senate, and a revision of several constitutional sections to make the text more understandable. Amending the Wisconsin Constitution requires the adoption of a proposed amendment by two successive sessions of the legislature and ratification of an amendment by the voters. A proposed amendment is introduced in the legislature in the form of a joint resolution. This step is called "first consideration". If the joint resolution is adopted by both houses, a new joint resolution embodying an identical text may be introduced on "second consideration" in the following session of the legislature. Joint resolutions are not submitted to the governor for approval. Sections Affected Joint Resolutions Subject Art. IV, Sec, 9; Art.

After assisting his father‟s presidential run in 1924, La Follette would assume leadership of the Progressive faction of the Republican Party after his father‟s death.2 3 Making use of the La Follette name, his father‟s image, his father‟s friends and supporters, and planks from the Progressive Platform, Philip La Follette managed to be elected governor in 1930, 1934, and 1936.

    BUT THE ROOTS REMAIN : THE WISCONSIN PROGRESSIVES IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND POST-WAR ERA A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Daniel David McCollum In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Major Department: History, Philosophy and Religious Studies December 2011 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title But the Roots Remain Wisconsin Progressives in the Great Depression and Post-War Era By Daniel David McCollum The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE Dr. Tom Isern Chair Dr. John Cox Dr. David Silkenat Dr. Joy Sather-Wagstaff -Approved- December 2, 2011 Dr. John Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT This work is concerned with the development of the Progressives, a political faction of the Republican Party which was active in Wisconsin during the first half of the 20th century, throughout the Great Depression, and the Post-War era. It was during this period that the Progressives broke with the Republican Party, formed the Progressive Party and gained control of the state from 1934 through 1938, before finally dissolving in 1946, with many members moving into the Democratic Party, where they rejuvenated that moribund state party. This work, furthermore, focuses on the those Progressive leaders who operated in Wisconsin’s northern counties, a region which had a long tradition of Progressivism, the influence they had upon the creation of the Progressive Party and the political realignment which followed its dissolution.

Simply put, this law requires that Wisconsin state government hire its employees based on their demonstrated qualifications for the job. Back in 1905, Governor Robert M. La Follette signed one of the nation’s first civil service bills into law. Motivated by a desire to address a culture of politi- cal patronage in government hiring that existed not only in Wisconsin but across the nation, Wisconsin's original civil service law was expansive in its scope and rigid in its requirements. Over the years, Wisconsin’s governors and legislators have maintained that early commitment to merit-based hiring of permanent employees while making dramatic improvements to infuse the system with more accountability to the general public, more access to employment for historically disadvantaged groups, and more flexibili- ty to speed the hiring process while preserving the fundamental principle of selec- tion based on demonstrated qualification for the job. Today, Wisconsin ranks high among the states for its sound, effective, and responsive human resources manage- ment practices. The centennial of Wisconsin’s civil service system presents an ideal opportunity to recognize not only the strong tradition of our law, but also the substantial contributions made by thousands of state employees who have served and continue to serve the citi- zens of Wisconsin.
