President Speaks
To Business Men.

New Haven, Ct, Dec. 14.-President
Taft briefly told the business men of Con-
necticut many of the facts a bout gov
ernmental expenditures and revenue at
the annual banquet of the New Haven
Chamber of Commerce.
The banquet was as lively as Yale re-
union affair, and the dining hall at Yale
was the scene. The President attended
meeting of the Yale Corporation in the
afternoon and held short reception be-
fore the banquet. Col. 1. M. Ullman.
president of the chamber, the Presidents
host, presided. and President Hadley and
Gov. Weeks spoke briefly.
President Taft on being introduced said
that he felt the occasion opportune to
speak to the business men on the ques
ton as to whether we are to have money
enough to run the government. He told
of the cutting down of the estimates in
departments over the expenditures of last
year. and how the money is to be spent
in the expectation of having a surplus
when the accounts are balanced for the
year. He explained the unexpected in

forming of pot" into which each Sec
ton could dip it's hands. He did believe,
he said, in having waterways improve
ments go ahead without delay and as eco
nomicaly as possible and without wait
ing until poltica! expediency demanded
it. President Taft said there were many
ways of saving money and one of these
was the bringing up to a standard of eff
cheney of the employees in governmental
departments. He said that he felt like
one crying in the wilderness to advocate
civil pensions, but he believed the time
would come when the policy would have
TO be adopted in order that the govern
ment could run it's business as it should
be run. The President predicted that
more businesslike methods of conducting
the finances of the country were sure to

though becoming less, would not prevent
the increasing of the scope of depart
