Synopsis

This book details the 1921 findings of a Massachusetts state commission tasked with investigating state government organization and expenditures. At a time of post-war economic hardship, the author provides a comprehensive list of recommendations for improving governmental efficiency and reducing operating costs. Influences of the era's constitutional amendments and the ongoing need for tax reduction loom over the focus on consolidating and reorganizing the state's administrative departments. The author discusses the complexities of determining which state activities should be prioritized and which should be abandoned. The significance of the author's accounting and consolidation recommendations is framed around the historical and ongoing challenges that Massachusetts and other state governments have faced in optimizing return on taxpayer investment.
