This article presents information on two books. The books are: "The Budget and Responsible Government," by Frederick A. Cleveland and Arthur Eugene Buck; and "The Evolution of the Budget in Massachusetts," by Luther H. Gulick. Gulick's contribution to the subject of the budget is based on his experience as secretary of the joint special committee on finance and budget procedure of the Massachusetts legislature. His volume describes the actual operation of a "budget system" as seen from the inside. It will prove exceedingly helpful to those political adolescents who imagine that a piece of legislation imposing on the governor the duty of preparing a financial plan will produce any important changes in the way of doing business.
