FOR INFRINGEMENT.
President VIII Send important Mes
sage, Today, to Congress.

Washington, March 29.-President
Taft will send to Congress. next week,
what he regards as one of the most
important messages he has written,
this year. He viii recommend legis-
lation designed to save millions of
dollars each year, consolidate several
government bureaus and generally
make the machinery of the govern
ment conform more nearly with the
plans drawn by the Economy and Ell
ficiency Commission appointed by him
in June, 1910. 1t will be Mr.. Taft $
second Economy" message this year,
but in the one written in January he
made no recommendations as to leg
islation The President has prepared
this message with unusual care. lie
has spent many afternoons in the
White House and the executive of
fees with members of the commission
and today, a draft of "a long message
on the subject was considered for two
hours by the cabinet. Practically ey-
ery department of the government is
concerned in the proposed reforms and
every member of the Presidents Of
fetal family was at today's session.
Reforms indicated as feasible in the
Presidents January message, he said,
would save the people more than 81,
100000 annually, but it was said, to-
night, that other changes worked out
since then by the commission would
largely increase that total.
Economy and efficiency in the gov
ernment's service has been one of the
Presidents hobbies. He preached that
doctrine on his trip through the West
last fall. made it the subject of more
than one message and has talked OF
the commissions work with many
members of Congress.
Owing to the apparent interest OF
the Democratic House of Representa-
tive in retrenchment and economy The
President was said tonight, to be
hopeful of obtaining at this session
the legislation he deems necessary.
