suit of political consideration has for
its consequence the necessity that the
president and members of congress
devote to matters of patronage time
which they should devote to questions
of policy and administration"
The president did not attempt to ex-
plain in detail the work of the economy
and efficiency commission created by
act of congress a year and a half ago.
He sketched the outlines Of improve
ments that he said could not be made
in government service; declared that
they would effect a saving of many
millions of dollars and asked that
congress continue the commission by
granting an, appropriation of 5000, 900
with $4,000 for printing its reports.
From time to time, reports of the
commission proposing particular re-
forms would be sent to congress.
Asks for Continuance.
81 ask said the president, ''the con-
tinuance Of this commission on econ
omy and efficiency because of the ex-
cellent beginning which has been made
towards the reorganization of the ma
chinery of this government on business
principles. ] ask it because it's work
is entirely non-partisan in character
and ought to apply to every citizen
who wishes to give effectiveness to
popular government in which we feel
a just pride. / sincerely hope that
congress will not, in its anxiety 10 re-
duce expenditures, economic by cut
ting of an appropriation which is
likely to offer greater opportunity for
real economy in the future than any
other estimated for"
To date the president said. the COM
mission a cost the people about
$1S0,000. Without having put in eff
feet more than a few reforms it has
suggested changes that will save $2,-
100000 a year. These said the
president, represent only a few OF the
many services which should be sub
jected to a like painstaking inquiry,
If this is done, it is beyond question
that many millions of savings may be
realized" The value Of such inves-
tigation in increased interest which Of
ficers of the government will take in
their own departments; their work and
that of their subordinates, he said,
could hardly be estimated.
'The initial work." said President
Taft, ''has been we'll done. The in
quiry with it's constructive measures
is well under way. The work should
now be presented with vigor and re-
ceive the financial support necessary
to make it effective during the next
fiscal rear. Every economy which has
been or will be effected through change
in organization or method will insure
the benefit OF the government and OF
the people in increasing measures
through the years which follow. / am
convinced that results which are real
ly worth while cannot be secured, or
at least can be secured only in small
part, through the prosecution at irreg-
ular intervals or special inquiries
bearing on particular services or feat
ures of administration. The benefits
thus obtained must be but temporary,
The problem Of good administration
is not one lis not one that can be
solved at one time. 1t is a continuous
ly present one"

united support Of the progressive
movement.
Mr.. Twichell was opposed to the
Price resolution on the grounds that
1t left out every other paper in the
state and he went on TO say there were
a number of weeklies like The Search
light which should be endorsed Just
as much as The Courier News in his
opinion if any endorsement was to be
made at all.
II am opposed to any such resolu-
ton that will make any newspaper as
the official organ of this party said
Lieutenant Governor Burdick. 81 do
not favor giving any editor the right
to dictate the policy of any party
belong to. You make this paper the
official organ or the progressive party
today but no one can tell what the
policy OF that paper may be in three
months. Therefore, while I am appre-
ciative of what The Courier News has
done for the movement, I am opposed
to this resolution"
At that point, Mr.. Price stated he
would withdraw the resolution, which
he had fathered. '.As my old friend
Major Edwards of The Forum used to
say" he said, "let the gods of harmony
prevail, so I wish to do the same and
I will withdraw that resolution,
There was considerable discussion
regarding the endorsement of Roose-
welt. Some wanted a resolution passed
that would read that either LaFollette
or Roosevelt would be acceptable ais

commend Roosevelt as q friend OF

On motion OF Governor Deyine,
Usher L. Burdick was endorsed for
another term as lieutenant governor
OF North Dakota. The fact that Mr..
Burdick accepted was something of a
surprise. Delegates to the national
convention were also endorsed as fol-
lows.
