Newspaper Clippings, 1934-1943 2.10 cubic ft.
This series consists of news stories and editorials that Moffat and his legislative staff compiled and kept for reference purposes. Almost all were published in New York State newspapers, but a handful were culled from papers published in Baltimore, Chicago, and other cities. Centering upon state fiscal and political issues, they help to shed light upon Moffat's role in state politics and upon public opinion about state taxation, spending, and social policy.
Fiscal and Political Editorials and Stories, 1936, 1938-1943 1.75 cubic ft.
This subseries consists of one folder of loose clippings. Articles and editorials about state taxes and finance, political cartoons, and issues of the New York State Taxpayer, a publication of the conservative Citizens Public Expenditure Survey, predominate; however, some of the clippings concern President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Second World War, and the 1942 gubernatorial campaign of Thomas E. Dewey. The bulk of this subseries consists of editorials and stories about state indebtedness, taxation, and spending that were pasted into scrapbooks. The first scrapbook contains news articles and editorials concerning the work of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee in 1937, but subsequent scrapbooks contain a comprehensive collection of editorials about state finances (1938-40) culled from newspapers published across the state and, in a few instances, across the nation.
