PRESIDENT TAFT
TALKS ECONOMY
ALSO RAPs NEWSPAPER CRITICS
AT NEWARK BOARD OF
TRADE BANQUET.
YEAR IN WHITE HOUSE
HOPES NEW COMMISSION WILL
BE ABLE TO REDUCE GOV
EMINENT EXPENSES.

Newark, N. J.-President Taft, the
drst chief executive since Grant to
visit Newark, Wednesday night ad-
dressed one of the largest and most
enthusiastic dinner audiences he has
met in all his travels. The banquet
was given by the Newark board of
trade and more than 500 members and
guests attended.
The President prefaced his address
with passionate statement of his
feelings after being a year in the
White House, which brought the audi
ence to its feet with cheers.
He took occasion to pay his respects
to the newspapers, saying he was go
ing home to Washington and avoid
them.
Former Governor Murphy in intro
ducing Mr.. Taft, predicted that the
President would make good, and he
himself took a fling at the newspa-
pers.
Il had not intended to say anything
on the subject of my first year in the
White House." said the President,
but after what Governor Murphy has
so graciously said / cannot refrain
from a personal word or two.
1T is true | told him l wanted to
make good a year ago. | am not GER
tain of doing It now. He said some
thing about the newspapers. When the
newspapers are prone TO criticism and
sometimes unite in hammering your
administration, treating it sometimes
with contemptuouS disdain and some
times with patronizing friendship, it
is hard to overcome the feeling that
perhaps you ought to begin all over
again.
In view of all that, to have re-
ceived the welcome rendered gives a
little hope that perhaps the newspa-
pers don't carry in their pockets all of
public opinion and that perhaps the
American people are able to see
through something of hypercriticism,
something of hysteria and something
of hypocrisy and to have real SYM
pathy for the man who under con-
siderable responsibility is doing the
best he can"
The President then took up the
question of government expenditures
and said that the deficit for the cur
rent year is likely to be considerably
reduced.
1T is now proposed" he said, "to
appoint a congressional commission to
look into the question of a general re-
organization of the departments of the
government with view of reducing
the expense of administering the gov
ernment.
"It has been stated on the floor of
the Senate that it will be possible by
this commission to reduce the cost of
administering the government $780,
100000 a year, and that if a free hand
were given to a business man, the re-
duction in the expense of administra-
tion might be doubled or tripled. l am
unable to confirm these statements as
to exact amount, but l am very sure
that a conservative, prudent and fear
less commission can make most ma
terial reduction in the cost of admin
istering the government
