Excerpt from Report on State Administration and Expenditures: Submitted to the General Court Resolved, That a special commission is hereby established, to consist of three members of the senate to be appointed by the president, five members of the house of representatives to be appointed by the speaker and five persons not members of the general court to be appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the council. The commission shall choose its chairman, and shall be known as the Commission on State Administration and Expenditures. It shall be the duty of the commission to investigate and consider the administrative organization of the state government, the functions and duties of the several departments, and the possibility of promoting greater efficiency and economy, including: (1) Whether the provisions of Article LXVI of the amendments to the constitution and of the laws for the reorganization of the executive and administrative work of the commonwealth into not more than twenty departments have been carried out in letter and spirit, and what, if any, administrative changes should be made to promote efficiency and to prevent waste and duplication of effort and unnecessary expense. (2) The method of administering the provisions of the constitution and the laws with reference to the budget, and whether any changes are advisable in method, procedure or law governing the appropriation and expenditure of public money. (3) Whether, having in view the entire programme of the state's undertakings, the needs of the state, and the cost and relative importance of each undertaking, there are any which it is advisable that the state should curtail or wholly give up. (4) Concerning departmental and institutional business organization and management, and the method of handling and auditing departmental, institutional and other accounts of the commonwealth. (5) Ways and means whereby comprehensive plans may be made in advance concerning the needs of the several departments for a series of years, especially with respect to construction of new buildings, highways, harbor improvements, development of state forests, and other public works.

Federal government statistics provide critical information to the country and serve a key role in a democracy. For decades, sample surveys with instruments carefully designed for particular data needs have been one of the primary methods for collecting data for federal statistics. However, the costs of conducting such surveys have been increasing while response rates have been declining, and many surveys are not able to fulfill growing demands for more timely information and for more detailed information at state and local levels. Innovations in Federal Statistics examines the opportunities and risks of using government administrative and private sector data sources to foster a paradigm shift in federal statistical programs that would combine diverse data sources in a secure manner to enhance federal statistics. This first publication of a two-part series discusses the challenges faced by the federal statistical system and the foundational elements needed for a new paradigm.
This classic text, originally published in 1948, is a study of the public administration movement from the viewpoint of political theory and the history of ideas. It seeks to review and analyze the theoretical element in administrative writings and to present the development of the public administration movement as a chapter in the history of American political thought.The objectives of The Administrative State are to assist students of administration to view their subject in historical perspective and to appraise the theoretical content of their literature. It is also hoped that this book may assist students of American culture by illuminating an important development of the first half of the twentieth century. It thus should serve political scientists whose interests lie in the field of public administration or in the study of bureaucracy as a political issue; the public administrator interested in the philosophic background of his service; and the historian who seeks an understanding of major governmental developments.This study, now with a new introduction by public policy and administration scholar Hugh Miller, is based upon the various books, articles, pamphlets, reports, and records that make up the literature of public administration, and documents the political response to the modern world that Graham Wallas named the Great Society. It will be of lasting interest to students of political science, government, and American history.
