out that the people of the country as

following governmental objects: The
national defense. the protection of per
sons and property. the promotion of
friendly relations aud the protection of
American interests abroad. the regula-

and the care and education of the In
dians and other wards Of the nation.
There are many other public questions.
OF course. but these are the vital aud
comprehensive ones, aud the budget"
is proposed for the parpoSe Of giving
information as to the needs Of these
matters. The president. in order that
his policy Of economy and efficiency
may be concluded and become one of
the greatest achievements OF his ad-
ministration-that OF placing the gov
ernment on a business basis-wants
congress TO appropriate $4,000 more

the money has to be appropriated for
specific purposes before it can be ex-
pended. and If this were not done be-
fore the beginning of the fiscal year
the machinery of government would
stop unless emergency provision could
be made.
How Estimates Are Made.
The estimates" are prepared by the
executive departments of which each
member of the cabinet is head. The
cabinet officers get the "estimates" In
their respective departments from their
chiefs of bureaus and then combine
them as the estimates" for the depart
ment. The estimates" from all de
partments are then sent to the secre-
tary of the treasury to he submitted
to congress. and they then become the
estimates" for the cost of running the
entire government during the next fs-
cal year. Upon these figures congress
makes the greater part If its appropria-
tions. amounting to more than $1,000
100000 annually.
Until 1908 a more or less lax method
OF making estimates for the annual
appropriations obtained throughout the
government The figures sent 70 con
greSs each year. instead of showing
indications Of a careful pruning all
along the line. showed there was a
disposition among the departments to
vie with each other in getting as large
appropriations as possible without con-
sidering whether or not the money de-
manded could be advantageously ex-
pended during the coming year. There
was no standardization Of supplies, and
the various departments were paying
varying prices for the same article

ECONOMY RECORD
Taft Insists That Government Be
Run on Sound Business Basis.
HIS PROGRESSIVE POLICY

His Personal Efforts to Reduce Cost of
Efficient Service Bring Results-5usi-
ness Methods AppIed-Economy and
Efficiency Commission Fought by
Democrats.
President Taft more than any Of his
predecessors in the White House has
given strict attention to placing the
government upon a business basis as
'egards its receipts and expenditures.
Economy and efficiency became one of
the cardinal policies of his adminlstra
tion as soon as he entered upon the
presidency, and 1t was well for the
country that this was SO. for his ad
ministration inherited a deficit In the
treasury of $58,000,00O, which has now
been transformed into a surplus of
$30,000.000 The average citizen and
taxpayer will be interested in this
fact. because the problem which con-
fronted the president at the outset. al
though upon gigantic scale, was
similar to that of the ordinary shop
keeper or business man. farmer or
wage Garner or even housewife who
is called upon to make both ends
meet" either In business or In the
home.
By law the secretary of the treasury
is called upon every year to submit to
congress In December the estimates"
Of governmental expenditures for the
next fiscal year. beginning the follow
ing July l. AS congress has to pro-
vide the money to run the government,
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1912-04-05

ment began work at once to investi-
gate its own expenditures and to de-
wise ways and means of curtailing ex-
travagances. The result was that con-
gress received the lowest estimates 1t
had seen in years. This was followed
by reduction in appropriations to cor
respond. always allowing for the nat
ural growth of the governments ac-
tivities. which represented net saw
ing to the taxpayers of the country.
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
md 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 duties,
was directed TO prepare the receipts
and expenditures of the government
on budget basis. which is the sys-
tenn followed by practically all the
leading nations of the world except the
United States Under this system it is
possible for the humblest citizen to
analyze the finances of the government
ut any time and to lay his finger upon
the responsible political party In the
event of extravaganza or of stinginess,
The system under which appropria.
lions for the government of the Unit
ed States have been made has even de-
6ed the experts in their endeavors to
1nravei the tangled skeins of expendi-
lures. so that it is fair statement to
say that no citizen of this country up
% the present time has ever thorough
y understood where his taxes were ex-
pended.

The fifteenth volume Of the Columbia

richly to the preserved annals relating to

are as follows: "A History Of the Column

Chapters in the Development OF the Pc

that of DIR. Gallaudet are illustrated. in
part by cotemporaneous prints. Perhaps
the chief historical interest is the paper
by Mrs. Bacon-Foster on the Potomac
route to the west. which. with it's ap-
pendices, covers 226 pages of the volume
and is accompanied by profusion Of in
teresting and important pictures. The
