Excerpt from Reprint of Reports of the Commission on Economy and Efficiency: Regarding Outlines of Organization of the Government That the commission was justified in undertaking this work is apparent from the fact that nowhere else at the present time is the information furnished by this report available; Import-ant as it is to an intelligent consideration of the problems of administration no attempt has been made heretofore to set forth in detail the manner in which the Government of the United States is organized for the execution of its multifarious duties. Descriptions have been written of the organization of the Government, so far as the distribution of constitutional powers among the three coordinate divisions - the legislative, the executive, and the judicial - and the assignment of duties to the executive departments and establishments are con cerned. At no time, however, has the effort been made to carry this description far enough to exhibit in an adequate manner the organization of the several departments, establishments, bureaus, and services for the performance of their work.
