PITH PRODUCTS IN DEMAND
Article Of commerciai importance 10
Now Being Exported From
Formosa.

A Japanese merchant of Taipeh
has forwarded to the United States,
through Commercial Agent Lovett
A. Wood, some stalks of pith, to-
gether with samples of paper, card,
braid and other articles made there
from by the savages of Formosa.
The pith is from a shrub growing
less than two feet tall, and is as
light as feather. It is gathered
by the sayages and in a most mar
velous manner the lengths of about
ten inches are pared round with a
knife, producing sheets that are
smooth and uniform in thickness.
England is now importing quanti-
ties of this pith paper to make arti-
fetal flowers for ladies' hats. The
oily nature of the pith when it is
shaved into paper facilitates the col
oring of the flowers. :
The pith is also used for the tops
of the helmets 80 much worn by
men in the tropics during the hot
months, when the suns rays are
dangerous, particularly to tourists,
and for the additional reason that
the pith hat can be made for very
much less than the cork helmet.

efficiency IN the program of President
Taft, should be asked of congress. The
effect was immediate. Every depart
ment began work at once to investi-
gate its own expenditures and to de-
wise ways and means of curtailing ex-
travagance. The result was that con-
gress received the lowest estimates it
had seen in years. This was followed
by reduction in appropriations to
correspond, always allowing for the
natural growth of the governments
activities, which represented net
saving to the taxpayers of the coun-
try.
President Taft was not, however,
satisfied that all had been done that
could be done. He realized that the
departments of the government, like
individuals, are naturally prone to be
proud Of their own achievements and
by reason Of their familiarity with
their own endeavors, often insisted
that their work was more important
than the work of the other depart
ments, relatively speaking. In order
to correct that evil he asked congress
to give him 100000 for commission
of disinterested experts to investigate
and report on the business of the gov
ernment with view to further econ
omy and efficiency. Thus came into
official being the commission of that
name.
This commission, among other du-
ties, was directed to prepare the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the gov
ernment on budget" basis, which is
the system followed by practically all
the leading nations of the world ex-
cept the United States. Under this
system it is possible for the humblest
citizen to analyze the finances of the
government at any time and to lay his
finger upon the responsible political
party in the event of extravaganza or
Of stinginess. The system under
which appropriations for the govern
ment of the United States have been
made has even defied the experts in
their endeavors to unravel the tangled
skeins Of expenditures, so that it is
of this country up to the present time
has ever thoroughly understood where
his taxes were expended.
The economy and efficiency commits
sion has already saved to the tax
payers of the country more than 49,.
100000 annually by its suggestions
and by the time it has completed it's
work it is believed ten times this
sum can be saved annually to the tax.
payers. In the matter of railroad fare
for government officials alone, it has
found that $12,O0O,000 was expended
in single year at the highest pre-
vailing railroad rates. At least a
fourth of this can be saved by the
application of business methods such
as President Taft has applied and has
insisted shall be applied to all the de-
partments of the government
