Only Thing In Doubt Is Size Of
His Vote at Chicago.
MAY BREAK 1908 RECORD.
States That He Is Only Man of His
Party Who Can Be Elected This
Year-voters Satisfied With Admin
istration's Policies.

President William 81. Taft is on
fair road to denomination as the Re-
publican standard bearer in the cam
paign of 1912 With approximately
100 delegates to the Chicago conyen-
ton already instructed for him, the
president is more than likely to break
his record of 1908. when he was nomi-
mated with f02 votes on the first bal
lot in the Chicago convention of that
year. There is no longer any question
that he will be renominated. and the
only question now puzzling the mana
gers of the Taft campaign is the COM
pleie ness of his victory.
Coupled with the assurance of his
denomination is the growing sentiment
in the big Republican states both east
and west that President Taft is the
only Republican candidate who can
possibly be elected this fall 1t will
be recalled readily enough that when
Mr.. Taft took office three years ago.

efficiency in the program of President
Taft, should be asked of congress. The
effect was immediate. Every depart
ment began work at once to investi-
gate its own expenditures and to de-
wise ways and means of curtailing ex-
travagance. The result was that con-
gress received the lowest estimates it
had seen in years. This was followed
by a reduction in appropriations to
correspond, always allowing for the
natural growth of the governments
activities, which represented a net
saving to the taxpayers of the coun-
try.
President Taft was not, however,
satisfied that all had been done that
could be done. He realized that the
departments of the government, like
individuals, are naturally prone to be
proud of their own achievements and
by reason of their familiarity with
their own endeayors, often insisted
that their work was more important
than the work of the other depart
ments, relatively speaking. In order
to correct that evil he asked congress
to give him 100000 for a commission
of disinterested experts to investigate
and report on the business of the gov

omy and efficiency. Thus came into
official being the mission of that
name.
This commission, among other du-
ties, was directed to prepare the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the gov
eminent on budget basis, which is
the system followed by practically all
the leading nations of the world ex-
cept the United States. Under this
system it is possible for the humblest
citizen to analyze the finances of the
government at any time and to lay his
finger upon the responsible political
party in the event of extravaganza or
of StingineSs. The system under
which appropriations for the govern
ment of the United States have been
made has even defied the experts in
their endeavors to unravel the tangled
skeins of expenditures, so that it is
fair statement to say that no citizen
of this country up to the present time
has ever thoroughly understood where
his taxes were expended.
The economy and efficiency commits
sion has already saved to the tax
payers of the country more than ST.
100000 annually by it's suggestions
and by the time it has completed it's
work it is believed ten times this
sum can be saved annually to the tax
payers. In the matter OF railroad fare
for government Of Gals alone. it has
found that s12.0OG 900 was expended
in a single year at the highest pre-
vailing railroad rates. At least a
fourth of this can be saved by the
application of business methods such
as President Taft has applied and has
insisted shall be applied to all the de-
partments of the government.
