SEES BETTER AND
CHEAPER SERVICE
President Submits an Economy
and Efficiency Message.
RESULTS OF INQUIRY TOLD
Special Commission Found Extrava-
CANT and Anticipated Methods in
Government Work and Many
Unnecessary Offices.

Washington President Taft has
submitted to congress a special message
on economy and efficiency in the govern
ment service. The message in part is as
follows:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
l submit for the information of the con-
gress this report of progress made in the
inquiry into the efficiency and economy OF
the methods of transacting public bust
ness.
Efficiency and economy in the govern
ment service have been demanded with
increasing insstence for a generation.
Real economy is the result of efficient or
ganzation. BY perfecting the organiza-
ton the same benefits may be obtained
at less expense. A reduction in the to-
tai OF the annual appropriations is not
in itself proof of economy. since 1t is
often accompanied by decrease in eff
cheney. The needs of the nation may de-
mand large increase of expenditure, yet
10 keep the total appropriation within
the expected revcneu is necessary to the
maintenance of public credit.
" Upon the president must rest a large
share of the responsibility for the de-
mands made upon the treasury for the
branch of the government. Upon the
congress must rest responsibility for
those grants of public funds which are
made for other purposes,
Reason for the Inquiry.
Recognizing my share Of responsibility
for efficient and economical adminstra-
ton. l have endeavored during the past
two years with the assistance OF heads
At dpD3rrnaptS IN Spgrlra The hest re-
suits. As one of the means to this end
l requested grant from congress to
make my efforts more effective.
An appropriation OF $4,000 was made
June %. 1910. to enable the president to
inquire into the methods OF transacting
the public business of the executive de-
paryments and other government estab-
lishments and to recommend to congress
such legislation as may be necessary to
carry into efTett changes found TO be de-
s;rable that cannot be accomplished by
executive action alone. l have been given
this fund to enable NE to take action
and to make specific recommendations
with respect to the details of transacting
the business of an organization whose &C
Invites are almost as varied as those of
the entire business world. The opera
tons Of the government affect the inter
est Of every person living within the jur
isdctiou of the United States Its or
ganization embraces stations and centers
of work located in. every city and in
many local subdivisions of the country.
Its gross expenditures amount TO nearly
100000 annually. Including the per
sonnet OF the military and naval estab-
lishments. more than 10000 persons are
required to do the work imposed by law
upon the executive branch OF the govern
Dert.

Plan of the Work.

In accordance with my Instructions. the
commission on economy and efficiency.
which I organized to aid me in the in
CURRY has directed its efforts primarily
10 the formulation of concrete recon;nen-
dations looking to the betterment of the
fundamental conditions under which gov
ernmental operations must be carried on.
With basis thus laid il has proceeded
10 the prosecution OF detailed studies OF
individual services and classes of work
and Of particular practices and methods
pushing these studies as far and cover
ing as many points and services, as the
resources and time at its disposal have
permitted.
In approaching its task it has divided
the work into five fields of inquiry hav-
Ing 10 do respectively with organization
personnel business methods, accounting
and reporting. and the budget.
Comprehensive Plan of Organization.
On organization the commission has en-
tered upon the preparation Of three series
OF reports. The first series deals with
the manner in which the services Of the
government should be grouped in depart
ments. This is q matter Of fundamental
Importance. 1t is only after q satisfac-
tory solution OF this problem that many
important measures of reform become
possible
The second and third series % reports
deal. respectively, with the organization
and activities Of particular services. and
the form o. organization for the perform
suce OF particular business operations.
One OF the reports OF the second Sc
ries IS upon the revenue cutter service.
which costs the government over TWO and
E half million dollars each year. In the
opinion q the commission its varied ac-
tiviJies can be performed with equal. or
greater. advantage by other ssUiCes.
The commission therefore. recommends
that il be abolished. I, Is estimated that
h. so doing 8 saving Of not less than 81
ooaQC0 year can be- made.
Another report Illustrating the second
series recommends that the lighthouse
and life saving services be administered
by a single bureau. instead Of as al pres
ent by two bureaus located In different
departments. These services have much
In common. Geographically. they are
similarly located; Enthusiastically. they
have many OF the same problems. 1t Is

CHICAGO. Nav. 1G.--If there were
reasons for lowering the price or
wheat earlier in the week there were
potent influences for lowering them to-

bearish factor was the report of sec

and there will also he heavy selling in
the way Of putting out short lines,
The central statistical commission
of Russia cabied an estimate on the
crops of that country. and they were
quite bearish..
The war news received on the board
of trade caused a halt in the selling,
cable coming from London saying
that peace negotiations between Tur-
Key and Bulgaria were broken Off. ON
Heavy selling OF short iines was la
duiged in again in the corn market
and the consequence was further
price recessions. Many Of the points

There were heavy declines in the cash

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1.-THE cotton
market showed better tone during
the early trading today. The open
Ing prices were very nearly the low
est OF the last few days. but on good
was secured during the first hour. This
appeared to exhaust the buying power,
and the market sold off but preserved
a fairly good tone until the close with
u fair rally during the very iatu trad
ing.
The influences Of the day were not
conclusive Most interest centered in
the fact that some change of opinion
seemed to have taken place among
the larger speculative operators, and
spot Arm. The week and statistics
did not encourage holders or buyers
and there is much discussion over the
possible effect, not only of the Balkan
war in financial Europe, but also as
to the demand for cotton and cotton
good from the Far East.
Europe continues to take cotton in
the nearly the same volume as last
year. and for this reason ultimately
higher prices might be reasonably ex-
pected, but the fact remains that &C
