Extract

Chapter 33 of the Laws of 1931 of the state of Wisconsin authorized the establishment of an executive council. Chapter 361 authorized the council to appoint a committee on business economics with certain functions. These two measures (which now constitute Chapter 15 of the Wisconsin Statutes, Sections .001 to .005 inclusive) resulted from the recommendation made to the legislature by Governor Philip LaFollette in his first message, presented on January 15, 1931. The governor called attention to the need that popular representative government provide a responsible and efficient alternative to direct action in view of post-war developments throughout the world.
