Government Expenses.

Washington. November 5.-Presi-
dent Taft this afternoon took active
ersonal chqage OF the economy hunt
in the governmental business by ad'
dressing at the White House the
members OF the various departmental
committees appointed at his direction
to devise modern business methods for
the government. The executive wants
change made in the present method
OF estimating expenditures. The depart
mental estimates" OF appropriations
desired, AS they are prepared atpresent,
are misleading and do not furnish an
exact statement of where the money Is
to go. As eyidencing the need for
further classification, the president has
cited the item miscellaneous" which
is invariably tackled on to depart
mental estimate. No cabinet officer
could be found who knew exactly what
these miscellaneous " expenses
we're, but inquiry in the depart
ments resulted in eliciting the in
formation that President Mckinley
had originally devised the miacel-
Ianeous columns" AS a place in which
to indicate AL expenditures arising
out OF the civil war;" Year by year
the miscellaneous" column was fur
Their stretched, so that it now includes
pretty nearly every sort OF an expense.
| It is to secure clear, succinct state
ment OF the nature Of the expenses for
which appropriation is asked, that the
president wants his economy workers
to first direct their attention. They we're
asked today to assist in the preparation
OF model budget. The men upon
whom the executive relies to do this
work are the various departmental.
committees on economy and efficiency,
appointed by the various cabinet officers
All OF them we're present today at the
White House when the president out
lined his Dlans.

They have helped to make our laws
and then expound them. They have
helped to give us the highest form o.
domestic life, and then shed their bloof
in its defense. They have written OUT
poetry, and then given us the interpre
tation in gentleness, hospitality and
manhood. They have built our tenn
pies, worshiped in our congregations
and minstcred at our affairs. They
have taught in our schools, exalted

1T IS not strange, says the Philadel-
mia Record that feeling OF disgust
has arisen in New York in witnessing
the mingled cant and hypocrisy OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's crusade in behalf OF
political morals, in view OF his own
promotion OF wholesale corruption when
president. The Dear Hartman
letter offered sufficient proof OF ms
persopal share in the political cor
ruption which he so sanctimoniously de-
plored. The New York Evening Post
reveals that besides the Hartman
contribution of $3.50, 200 II. c. Frick'
the steel trust magnate, and II. Nick.
Twombloy, the railroad baron OF the
Vanderbilt connection, were each bied
by Roosevelt for 100000 for expendl-
ture in New York in the campaign OF
1904. Twombley's contribution was
not made as another dear friend
and admirer of Roosevelt, but as a
representative of vast railroad interests
One of the effects of Tricks timely
tribute was witnessed in Roosevelt
approval of the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron COMPANY by
the steel trust, which made the most
gigantic combination of capital in the
world. A revival Of these scandals
and OF others of like character was
provoked by Mr.. Rooseyelts crusade
of political morality in order to pre-
sent him in a true light before the
people whom he seeks once more &c
cajole. 1t is a hard but necessary
lesson.

SEN. BAYNE INTRODUCES
new BILL AT ALBANY

Senator Howard r. Bayne, repre-
senting the county Of Richmond in
the senate at Albany, has introduced
bill in the upper house of the legis-
lature for the appointment of a COM
mission to inquire into the present
method of experimenting on living
animals. The bill provides, in sub
stance, that the governor appoint an
investigating commission of seven
men, including two physicians, two
anti-cruelty organization members,
two lawyers and member-at-large
to find out whether there is any un-
necessary cruelty in yivisection as at
present practiced in this state. The
commission is authorized to summon
persons, call for documents and ex-
anime witnesses under oath. The
bill appropriates $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the commission.
