development of this territory, whether
it be along agricultural, commercial or
manufacturing lines. It is understood
that he will always be glad to cooperate
and render all assistance possible to
commercial organizations in their effort
to further develop the resources of their
communities, holding himself subject to
the call Of these organizations or to
address meetings when held for the pur-
pose of development.
Mr.. Chamberlain will make a very able
officer for this particular line of work,
and the advantage of his advice to Great
Northern communities should prove ex-
tremely beneficial to them.

EFFICIENCY IS At STAKE
SCIENTISTS HEAR PRESIDENT

Much Of what he Will communicate to
Congress IN his Forthcoming economy mes
sage was anticipated by President Taft
yesterday afternoon in an address before
tho American Economic Association, a
branch OF the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, following a
luncheon at the Raleigh Hotel
I Mr.. Taft said he had heard rumors that
Congress intends to abolish his Cleveland
economy commission, and that he is going
to fight hard to have 1t continued for five
years. He also recounted the work of
the tariff board and the stock and bond
commission. and said he expected good
results from both.
In order that the various departments
might be run more efficiently and eco
nomically. the President said he wanted
the revenues and expenditures OF the gov
eminent made up into q busineSS-Ilke
budget He said the continuance OF the
economy commission until 1t has COM
pletcd It's work Is the only way the
methods for completing such a plan can
be attained. He hoped students Of podu-
cal economy would stir up sufficient pub
lie sentiment to force Congress to support
his commission by making the necessary
appropriations.
Deplores Present System.
Mr.. Taft deplored methods of adding
needed bureaus to the government, made
necessary by the present system, which,
he said. instead Of being scattered over
the entire city, should be arranged In
logical manner. Committees Of Congress
are not capable of carrying out these re-
forms, he insisted, scientific study OF
them being necessary.
More than 500 members Of the Economic
Association and its allied organizations
attended the luncheon. the guests includ-
ing Senator Burton Of Ohio, Assistant
Secretary Of the Treasury A Piatt An
drew. Jane Adams of Hull House, Chi
cago, and scores of university professors
and other prominent economists.
Henry W. Farnham, in introducing
President Taft, predicted the time will
come when insurgents will cease to In
surge and tariff fights will be unknown.

Work for Trained Economists.

When the chairman called on me l felt

you have frequently heard Not prepar-
ed but feel so deeply on the subject,
feel so deeply the necessity for the con-
tinuance of q commission like this for
scientific study-and 1t requires scientific
study. for 1t cannot be done by rule OF

II suppose this is not collection of

1T Is true, as your chairman has said,
that this government turned a little corr
ner in attempting to use men for techni-
cal purposes who know something about
the technical art that is involved in doing
the thing to be done. For instance. 1t
has taken us a long time to realize that
In laying out Washington We ought to
have archi: ects and artists who known
something about it.
I'VE now have q commission Of fine
arts, composed Of landscape architects
and sculptors, and Others who have given
their lives to the study of art. That is
one step. Then when we have gone into
the same subjects that involved a knowl-
edge of economy, we have summoned one
or two gentlemen who have given their
lives to the subject, for the purpose Of
learning what they thought about them
not for the purpose Of performing what
they recommend. I do not mean to say
that we may not. but / 90 not want to
raise hopes too rapidly.

THE question fs whether we can bring
the same kind Of talent, the same kind
OF an effort, to the business of govern

Il hope we may. but It is going to be
hard aSi.t to do 1t. In q corporation you
can have absolute control In the hands Of
two or three men, who are made respon-
sible, and who have the courage to carry
out the plans necessary to bring about a
result Of increased economy and increased
efficiency. government, however, is a
very different thing. Though it ought to

SO far as 1t Is more than that 1t has ele-

of the government exceeded the income

something. So we just put the knife In.
