“  If  the  public  will  read  this  book  it  may  possibly  be  stirred
to  a  greater  exertion  of  pressure  in  this  humanly  important
part  of  its  business.”—New  York  Sun.
The  volume  is  one  of  wide  social  appeal,  presenting,  in  fact,
a  new  view  of  the  budget.  National  and  state  legislators  will
be  especially  interested  in  the  way  in  which  the  author  brings
the  budget  problem  into  direct  relation  to  our  fundamental
democracy.  Social  workers  will  be  interested  in  the  author’s
definite  recognition  of  the  expanding  and  dynamic  character  of
our  social  organization  and  the  outlining  of  a  budget  program
that  helps  rather  than  hinders  such  programs.  Lawyers  will
be  interested  in  the  rather  startling  problems  raised  by  the
application  of  a  budget  system  to  the  courts.  Students  of
political  science,  and  all  citizens  concerned  about  reconstruction ­
  after  the  war,  will  be  interested  in  this  illuminating  discussion ­
  of  an  admittedly  pressing  political  problem  whose  solution ­
  is  essential  as  a  preliminary  to  effective  reconstruction
after  the  war.
