TO CUT DOWN EXPENSES.
Taft Has Inaugurated Systematic Effort
at Economy.

Washington, May 26.-Both in the de-
partments and in congress a valiant
effort in the direction of economy in
government expenditures is being made.
President Taft started the ball rolling
by directing the department chiefs to
make a personal cut in their estimates
for the coming year, and has been fol-
lowed by steps taken in congress with
the same end in view.
1t always has been the habit for the
heads of departments to make esti-
mates considerably in excess of the
amounts they expected to receive In
the way of appropriations, and 1t has
been equally the habit of congress to
cut down those estimates, no matter
whether they were good, bad or 1ndlf-
ferent.
Now President Taft has directed the
department chiefs to cut out of their
estimates enough money to wipe out
the deficit If congress follows Its us
ual custom these estimates again will
be cut down when the appropriations
are made next year, and the result will
be a comfortable balance on the right
side of the ledger with which Secretary
MacVeagh will have to deal after the
next fiscal year. Congress. already has
made the appropriations for the year
beginning on July l, so that the spirit
of economy can not have effect for a
considerable time to come.
In previous years the custom has been
for each chairman of an important
committee to secure every dollar from
the public treasury which the senate
could be induced to vote. There was
q rivalry between the different com
mittees and each endeayored to have
large appropriations. The result was
that the committees which were first
heard in the senate Jared the best.
Some of the most important bills al
ways were delayed until toward the
end of the session, the result being
that they were deprived of the appro-
priations because of the extravaganza
earlier.
The intention now, for the first time
in q generation or two. is to have con-
certed action, not only among the diff
ferent committees but among the gov
eminent departments as we'll 1t is
believed that in this way, without Grip
ping the operations of the government
an any important degree, the expendi-
lures can be cut down and the deficit
extinguished irrespective of what the
new tariff bill may do to the revenue
