In the past there existed between the
president, the commanding general OF
tn army and the secretary OF war
which, he said, were as gentle zephyrs
compared TO what will come UP be-
tween the general stan and the secre.
tary OF war. He was confident that the
secretary Of war would not be a chief
clerk to register the DEGREES OF the gen
eral staff, but will rise above II and be
the secretary OF war and these men VIII
be subject 10 him.
He stated that the action "of those
subordinate officers In the executive de.
partment has brought to the house the
trouble II has had In many ways" He
protested against the practise OF send
ing bills 10 heads Of departments for
their opinion. 1--WE should take sug-
gestions," he insisted, but not be de-
termined by any opinion Of some sub.
ordinate officer as TO what should be
done with reference 10 legislation"
There should be, he said, a return to
the old practise Of requiring heads Of
executive departments 10 come TO the
capital and state their wants. He said
that the high appropriations OF Congress
are estimated for by subordinates and
that they are made sufficiently high on
the theory that Congress will cut them
down 10 the amounts actually In mind
when the estimates are prepared. He
demanded hat the heads Of the depart-
ments ba made to understand that IL
they go beyond what they are entitled
to, not dollar shall be given TO them,
and then" he said. amid applause,
'they VIII cut their cloth in order TO
make their clothing fit and not take

u The heads OF departments viii do
their own thinking and acting, he said.
IN conclusion, and let the house do It's
thinking and acting, the result will be
10 the good OF the public service.
