ECoNoNrY IN GOVERNMENT.

In a speech before the Kentucky leg
islature, Governor Harmon, of Ohio,
who is considered the presidential can
didate of the conservatives in the Dem
ocratic party. expressed the belief, that
the reform most sorely needed now
adays in the administration of the gov
eminent is better results at less ex-
pense AS he says, it ought not to cost
billion dollars a year, or over 81 for
each man, woman and child in the
country, to maintain the federal gov
eminent with its limited functions
He admits that other reforms of gov
eminent are needed, but a retrench-
ment in government expenses, in mis-
opinion would bring quicker, greater,
and more general relief than any other
And there are few who will dispute
these contentious of the distinguished
executive of Ohio.
President Taft is also of the same
mind with Governor Harmon. even if
they are on different sides of the politi-
cal fence. Furthermore. President Taft
is the first president since the time Of
Cleveland who has given the matter of
governmental expenses any serious
consideration. And he has been ham,
mering away at their reduction since
the first day of his administration. He
has achieved wonderful results, too. He
will make even a better showing If
congress viii provide the funds for the
expenses of the commission that the
president created for the purpose of
making the Investigations necessary to
retrenchment in the expenses of all
of the governments, departments and
bureaus
At about the time he was ready, to
retire from public life, ex-senator Aid
rich remarked that if he were given a
free hand in managing the finances of
the government, he could easily save
the enormous sum of $500, 900 900 a year,
and not cripple any of the departments
of government in SO doing. And from
the way President Taft has tackled this
problem It is almost certain that he
will come near doing as well, provided
he is given the opportunity and the
necessary tools to work with.
Strange as it may seem, this is a
matter for which President Taft has
been given little or no credit. Here is
Governor Harmon of Ohio. who might
possibly be the opponent of Mr.. Taft in
the next presidential campaign, point
ing out that a retrenchment in the gov
ernment's expenses is far and away the
greatest reform to be worked out For
three years now President Taft has
been going quietly on his way working
toward this very end. His postmaster
general and his attorney general have
