WASHINGTON, Aug. 2I-Presldent
Tafts economy commission, it was
discovered today. was ruthlessly trim
med by the democratic house and by
the senate in the sundry civil bill at
preparation and the legislative appro-
priation bills.
In addition to limiting the powers Of
the commission to matters of tran
sacting the public business Of the gov
ernment only in the several executive
departments" the sundry bill reduced
the salary of its members. The chair
man now gets $4,000 year while the
other members receive $4,000 each.
The new law provides that not more
than three persons may be paid not
more than $4,000 per annum. and cuts
to 1000 the amount designated with
which to prosecute the work.
Commission Further curbed.
I'm the legislative bill paragraph
slipped in at the last moment provides
that the regular annual estimate OF
appropriat tions and expenses OF the
government shall be prepared and
submitted to congress by those IN
charge Of the duty of such prepara-
ton and submission only In the forms
as are at the time required by law and
in no other form and at no other time.
The commission has been in favor
of the English budget" system. which
house leaders declared highly incom-
pat,hle with the manner In which the
United States government was oper-
,+oS proc;dopt Taft had endorsed the
commission and the house seized the
opportunity to blocking the commits
sion from further interference with its
work in appropriations.
The innocent paragraph excited no
comment and aroused no suspicion in
the senate.

Senate Fails to Act On Many Namoo
for Important Posts.
Washington, Aug. 27.-Many import
| ant appointments made by President
Taft In the last few months were left
unconfirmed when congress adopted its
resolution Of final adjournment. Among
the more important are those Of Judge
Richard E. Sloan Of Arizona, Major
General W. W. Wotherspoon. Brigadier
General John McClernand and Judge
Clinton W. Howard Of the state OF
Washington.
Many bitter fights have character
lied the action on President Taft's ap-
pointnents in the last few weeks. More
than sixty appointments of postmas-
ters were LETT unconfirmed among
them them being that of Robert H.
Todd to succeed Walter K. Landis, who
was removed as postmaster at San
Juan. Porto Rico.
OF the judicial nominations not acted
upon. that of Richard E. Sloan to be
district judge of Arizona was vigor-
ously opposed by the Arizona senators.
Many weary hours were spent by the
senate in executive session in hearing
arguments in opposition to Judge
Sloan.
Another more recent nomination for
a judgeship was that of Clinton w.
Howard to be United States judge for
the western district Of Washington.
to succeed Judge Hanford. who re-
signed during an investigation by the
house judiciary committee as to his al
legged misbehavior in office. Senator
Poindexter Of Washington was strong
ly opposed to Judge Howard, and no
effort was made to confirm him. The
nomination Of John M. Cheney to be
United States district judge for the
southern district of Florida also failed.
The nominations Of John b. Vreeland
to be United States attorney for New
Jersey, Hyman D. Davis to be United
States marshal for the northern dis
trict Of Ohio, John McCourt to be
United States district attorney of Ore
gon, Beverly w. Coiner to be United
