Short-Ballot Principles is a book written by Richard Spencer Childs and originally published in 1911. The book discusses the concept of the short ballot, which is a system of voting that limits the number of elected officials on the ballot to only the most important positions. Childs argues that the short ballot system is more effective than the traditional system of voting, which often includes many positions that are not crucial to the functioning of government. He believes that a shorter ballot would lead to more informed voters, greater accountability among elected officials, and a more efficient government.The book provides historical examples of the short ballot in action, including in New York City and other municipalities throughout the United States. Childs also offers practical advice for implementing the short ballot system, including how to determine which positions should be included and how to educate voters about the new system.Overall, Short-Ballot Principles is a thoughtful and persuasive argument for the benefits of the short ballot system. It remains relevant today as a way to improve the democratic process and ensure that government is truly representative of the people it serves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
