President Taft was not. however,
satisfied that all had been done that
could be done. He realized that the

individuals, are naturally prone to be
proud of their own achievements and
by reason of their familiarity with
their own endcavors often insisted
that their work was more important
than the work of the other depart

possible for the humblest citizen to

appeal to congress for funds to con
tnue the great work 1t has begun,
which all thinking men and women
will approve, President Taft pointed
out that the people of the country as
whole are interested chiefly In the
following governmental objects: The
national defense, the protection Of per
sons and property, the promotion Of
friendly relations and the protection Of
American interests abroad, the regula-
ton of commerce and industry, the
promotion of agriculture, fisheries, for
estry and mining, the promotion Of
manufacturing, commerce and bank

and communication. the postal service,
including postal savings banks and
parcels post; the care and utilization Of
the public domain, the promotion Of
edul alton, art and science and recrea-
ton; the promotion of public health
and the care and education of the In.
dians and other wards of the nation.
There are many other public questions,
of course, but these are the vital and
comprehensive ones, and the budget"
is proposed for the purpose of giving
information as to the needs of these
matters. The president, in order that
