Government By Commission: Or The Dethronement Of The City Boss is a book written by John Judson Hamilton and published in 1910. The book discusses the role of city bosses in American politics and argues for the establishment of commission-based government as a means of curbing their power. Hamilton provides historical context for the rise of city bosses and their influence on municipal politics, and examines the corruption and inefficiency that often resulted from their control. He then presents the idea of commission-based government, in which a group of experts and professionals would be appointed to oversee various aspects of city administration. Hamilton argues that this system would be more efficient and less susceptible to corruption than the traditional political machine. The book is a call to action for political reform and an indictment of the corrupt practices of city bosses. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American politics and the evolution of municipal governance.Being A Study Of The Commission Plan As Begun In Galveston, Developed And Extended In Des Moines, And Already Taken Up By Many Other Cities, East And West.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
