CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.

The increasing demands on the gov.
eminent for all sorts of expenditures
are causing President Taft much con.
Germ and he has set for himself the
task Of holding down to a minimum
the cost of administering the affairs
or the Nation. So eminent an author.
ity as Senator Nelson w. Aldrich In
q speech in the Senate on February
81, Of this year, said that II he were
4 given permission as business man
TO manage the affairs OF the govern.
ment heswould run them for $500, OOO,.
600 a year less than it is now costing.
That statement has been bearing on
President Tafts mind and he has been
planning to get at the matter in such
Z, a way as to curtail expenses without
hampering the development of the
Nation or endangering Its welfare at
home or abroad.
The President will take the unusual
step OF spending part Of his vacation
In working out some plan to reduce
the public expenditures in the ex.
ecutive branches of the Govern
ment. He had long conference re-
Gently with Chairman Tawney of the
blouse Committee on Appropriations
4 onathis subject. Mr.. Tawney will be
called,to Beverly laterto consider this
matter with tho President in detail.
Whatever plan Is adopted will be
sSiirged upon Congress at the next ses-
sion. 81 i,.Ia.
All the facts and figures obtainable
, on the subject will be collected by a
fcommission on Government business
methods, which will dig through all
the executive departments and bu.
sreaus and suggest Just how the man.
tner Of doing things can be so changed
,sand adjusted as to cost less. This COM
mission was authorized in the Sundry
4 Civil bill. which was passed few
! days before Congress adjourned. The
sum Of 100000 was appropriated with
which to pay all the expenses of the
inquiry. 1t is proposed that the in.
sdulsitors shall be detailed from private
sllfe. The c6mmlsslon has not yet
y been named blythe President, but will
). be selected at an carly date.
The commission on Government
business methods was strongly urged
byth President and was finally con.
coded by Congress for that reason
alone. He desired to study retrench-
Y ment, but 1t was apparent that he
could not in one term so into the dc,
tails essential for such research.
