Reports Concerning Economy General
Iy PigeonhoIed-President Taft Not

Washington.-Senator Aldrich's bill
to create a government business
method commission" is a measure
somewhat similar to others that have
been introduced in the past In con-
gress. There have been inquiries
aforetime into the business methods
of the departments with view to dis
covering ways and means to save
money, but the reports which were
turned in were pigeonholed as a rule
or. If action was taken, 1t had no ade-
quate result in reducing expenses.
Years ago the term, "billion dollar
congress" was used merely for the
purpose Of getting the effect which
sometimes comes from a picturesque
exaggeration. No one dreamed 20
years ago that at any one session OF
congress there would be appropriated
for the expenses of the government
sum of money reaching anywhere
near the billion mark. Last year,
however, congress appropriated ST.
100000, and this year it will ap-
propriate in all human probability
about the same amount
The government work constantly is
expanding. AS the people grow, their
expenses grow, and therefore If
in 1910, the appropriation bills
are just the same as they were
in 1909, 1t of necessity marks
saving after all. The fact
that there is not likely to be any
growth in the appropriations this
year over that of last year is due
largely to the pruning methods which
have been adopted in the committees

Clever Political Work.


It is regarded in Washington as a
bold, and it may be a successful party
stroke for the leader of the Repub
licans in the senate to come out as he
has for a reduction of the expendi-
lures of the government. The Repub-
lican party has been charged with ex-
travagance. The Democrats say that
even if Mr.. Aldrich's bill becomes a
law, the business mems commission
find out real money can be saved,
and money finally is saved, this will
not clear the Republicans of the
charge of extravaganza in the past.
The Democrats also say that if the
commission shall find that it has been
costing $140,000,000 to run the navy
department, for instance, and it can
be shown that the same results could
have been reached with an expendi-
ture of one hundred millions, the ma
jority party is bound to suffer.
Desire for True Economy.
It is possible and perhaps entirely
probable that economy in government
work can be secured without any way
affecting the pay of the government
employees. The government spends so
much money in building battleships.
in putting up public buildings and in
contract work generally that it will
be found that the three hundred mil.
lions which Mr.. Aldrich thinks can be
saved every year under the applica-
ton of business methods, may be
saved without the necessity of going
outside of the greater bills which
Uncle Sam has put up to him every
year
President Not Worrying.
There is no evidence that Pres
ident Taft is worrying in the least
about what Col. Theodore Roose
welt may say concerning the progress
or the lack Of progress Of the policies
of the present administration. 1t is
apparent that the president holds to
the belief that Mr.. Roosevelt will be
lieve n his absolute sincerity of pur
pose, and that even though congress
does not put through all the advanced
legislation which the president has
recommended Mr.. Roosevelt will real
ize that the fault is that of congress
and not the administration.
1t is curious from how many view
points the return of the strenuous one
to this country is looked at There
are those advanced Republicans, who
are so progressive that their fellow
party members call them radical. who
seem to think that the instant the
former president sets foot on this sol
he is going to issue an edict of dis
approval of everything that Mr.. Will
liam Howard Taft has done since he
entered the White House. Then there
are the Republicans who are progres
sive without being markedly so, whC
say that Mr.. Roosevelt will give ex
pressions of approval to some of Mr.
Taft's acts and of disapproval to some
| of his other acts. Then there are thu
old line Republicans who believe tina
Mr.. Roosevelt will hold his peace.

DECIDES TO

Injury Done to Administra

Publication of Story
Scheme of Annexation Is
Fooled.


The peopi iss 81 idienian;sds r. Ehfsned
mond paper of story to the effect that
Hammond would attempt to annex that
territory, have taken steps to prevent
such action by Incorporating as town
1t is understood that the present
Hammond city administration has sew
eral important projects which depend,
to certain extent, upon the friend
liness of the neighboring towns to the
south of Hammond
These projects are of the utmost i'm
portance and would greatly benefit
Hammond the country districts south
of the city. The city officials were
proceeding quietly in the matter, real
izing that to let their plans be known,
would greatly alarm the residents of
the districts south. of the city.
Then came the bungling report, an
attempt to be sensational, of an alleged
effort on the part OF the city of Ham
mond to annex all of the territory
south to the township line. The article
did not create sensation at ALL There
were very few remarks about it. There
was consideration on the part of those
who were working for the best inter-
ests of the city.
1t is not known at this stage of the
game just how much damage the print
ing of this story has done. The fact
remains that the people of Highland
have become alarmed and have employ
ed Attorney Walter Hardy of the firm
of Riley & Hardy to take steps to in
corporate the town and prevent the an
nexation.
OF course, the incorporation of the
! town of Highland would not prevent
| annexation. 1t will simply make ii
| more difficult If such a thing were
| contemplated.
| 1t is understood that the people OF
! Highland have been working very
| quietly on this matter of Incorporation
and that all of the preliminary steps
have been taken

Of the case he believes he will be able

He says he took several other cases
to the supreme court and secured a
Judgment in his favor in every one of
them. Whether Boney will relent lat

be as determined to continue the fight

CITY WILL
HAVE LOTS
Of MINES

Hammonds amateur baseball fans
will probably break all past records
this season in organizing amateur
baseball teams. They are already busi-
ly engaged organizing and naming the
different mines, who will compete for
the city championship this season.
Last year there were at least ten
uniformed amateur teams in Ham mond,
and it is thought that, owing to the
fact that base ball is fast becoming
the greatest and most popular sport
the amtaeur teams organized this sea-
son will easily exceed the number of
former years
A good deal of opposition is being
demonstrated between the already or
ganized mines which expect to COM
pete for the city honors of the com
Ing season. 1t is a well known fact
that there will be plenty of rivalry
shown this coming season, as the play
ers on the different mines are Bit
ter toward each other in the sporting
world. owing to the fact that last
amateurs was one of those severe kind
that stays in the minds OF the play
ers to defeat the former champions
and wrest the honors from them is
what still remains fresh in the minds
~f the defeated mines.
Inc coming season promises to be a
scorcher among the uniformed amateur
teams. and some close and interesting
games are anticipated.

Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Crown Point, Ind, March Z. - The
Hammond Holman street bridge mat
ter will be settled at the meeting Of the
county commissioners. which is to be
held at Crown Point today. The action
of the commissioners will be watched
with great interest by the people of
Hammond.
The question to be settled is Should
Hammond be granted Its request for a
forty-foot bridge instead of a thirty
foot driveva ay and a ten-foot walk on
either side. This would make 1T as
wide as Holman street and.would per-
nit Of a double street car track and a
twelve foot wagonway on either side.
If the thirty-foot bridge is decided
upon there may be a double street car
track with only a seven-foot wagon
way on either side This will not be
wide enough and is likely to cause a
great deal of congestion when n the traf-
flc is heavy.
Il: sonai zssv .zzzi sssixaf
sioners will come to a deSision today
on the width Of the bridge and the type

vantage of the bridge they build"
/ It has been discovered that the United

necessary that permission be granted
by congress before q bridge may be

bridge may be begun.
The county commissioners are prett,
well versed in this matter of bridg,
construction and 1t is expected tha
they will see to 1T that e bridge of thu

ton will also have to be solved as t.

AT SEA over
CHAIRMAN
Retort Courteous Is Passed
Between Mayor Becker
and Chairman Simon.

The informal meeting of Hammond
democrats yesterday afternoon in the
club rooms was much in it's action like
the man who knows he has a skele-
ton, and knowing this, takes occa-
sion to take a good slant at 1t, and
after having ratified its bones decides
to hide it, and If possible. to forget
about IT,
1t was with this feeling that Mayor
Becker and his clan and Ed. Simon and
his clanlet hauled out the party skele-
ton and dangled it before each others
faces and then decided to put it away
forever, unless. etc.
According to report everything is as
lovely as a day in June. but it did take
some OF the boys long time to give
vent to all their feelings.
ALL SING IN HARMONY CHORUS.
Mayor Becker is said to have never
uttered more loyal words for the dem
ocrats of Lake county. Ed. Simon and
Fred Carter included, than he did yes
terday. Bear in mind that the county
convention is to be held next Saturday
in Huehns hall,and democrats are ex-
pecrsd to elect county chairman, and
a. WHOLE organization. This organiza-
ton r11st not Be one which Mayor
Becker can carry around in his vest
pocket 1t must not be a Tom Knots
organization with which he can do as
he pleases, and 1t cannot be a Simon
Crofius organization, for the reason
that neither Becker nor Knots would
stand for that. SO IT was decided yes
terday that there must be harmony and
fervent chorus answered Amen.
SIMON ~sAssEs- PAPA BECKER.
Now, just as to who the county chair
ma will be cannot be safely predicted
at his time outside of the fact that ii
will probably be some Hammond man
1t is to be a man who is satisfactory
TO all factions. John Rohde is a mar
most prominently mentioned but it is
understood that he will not consider
the honor. Ed. Simon was quoted some
