IL II q matter Of public record that
the three largest insurance companies
In New York when under legislative

900 for expert services to assist the
adm1nSstfation to put the business on

Milwaukee ana other cities are prose-
cutting inquiries the cost Of which is
largely disproportionate TO the cost in.
CURED by the federal government.
Furthermore, these Inquiries have the
vigorous support aud direct co-opera-
fion OF citizen agencies which alone
are spending not less than 100000
per annum.
I sincerely hope that congress will
not In its anxiety to reduce expendi-
lures economize by cutting OF an ap-
preparation which Is likely to offer
greater opportunity for real economy In
the future than any other estimated
for.
A has been said, the changes which
have already been made are resulting
IN economies greater than the cost Of
the Inquiry. Reports in my hands,
with recommendations. estimate ap-
proximately S2,OOo,OO0 Of possible an
nuai economies. Other subjects under

suits These represent only a few OF
the many services which should be sub

the influence which q vigorous, thor
"ughgoing executive inquiry has on

In this relation 1t may be said that
the expenditure for the inquiry during
the present fiscal year Is at the rate Of
$4,000. The mass Of Information

summarized pertaining to each sub

results obtained It is evident that ev.

or method will inure to the benefit of
the government and Of the people in
increasing measure through the years
which follow. II IS clearly the part OF
wisdom to provide for the coming year
means nj least equal 10 those available
during the current year, and in my
opinion the appropriation should be in
