ment beedt Sfofi; q once 70 inres6-
gate IFS own expenditure and to de
wise ways and means Of curtailing ex-
tFavaganees, The result was that con
gress received the lowest estimates II
had seen in years, This was followed
by reduction IN appropriat lions to COR
respond. always allowing for the nat-
uraI growth zof the governments ac-
tivities, which represented net saw
ing TO the taxpayers Of the country.
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 endeavors 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 dislnterested experts to investigate
and report on the business Of the gov
eminent, with view to further econ
omy and efficiency. Thus came into
official being the commission Of that
name.
This commission. among other duties,
was directed to prepare the receipts
and expenditures Of the government
on a budget basis. which is the sys.
tenn followed by practically all the
leading nations Of the world except the
United States. Under this system It is
possible for the humbiest 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 appropria-
tons for the government of the Unit
ed States have been made has even de-
fed the experts in their endeavors to
unrayel the tangled skelns Of expendi-
lures, so that 1t is a fair statement to
say that no citizen Of this country up
to the present time has ever thorough
" understood where his taxes were ex-
pended.
The Presidents Position.
At the present time the Democratic
house of representatives is endeavor.
ing to end the usefulness Of the econ.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1912-03-27

the money has to be appropriated for
specific purposes before it can be ex-
pended, and If this were not done be-
fore the beginning of the fiscal year
the machinery of government would
stop unless emergency provision could
be made.
How Estimates Are Made.
The Estimates" are prepared by the
executive departments OF which each
member Of the cabinet is head. The
cabinet officers get the estimates" in
their respective departments from their
chiefs of bureaus and then combine
them us the estimates" for the depart
ment. The estimates" from all de-
partments are then sent to the secre-
tary of the treasury to be submitted
to congress- and they then become the
estimates" for the cost of running the
entire government during the next iis-
cal year. Upon these figures congress
makes the greater part If its appropria-
tons. amounting to more than $1,000
100000 annually.
Until 1908 more or less lax method
of making estimates for the annual
appropriations obtained throughout the
government. The figures sent to con-
gress each year, instead of showing
indications Of careful pruning" all
along the line. showed there was a
disposition among the departments to
vie with each other in getting as large
appropriations as possible without con-
sidering whether or not the money de-
luanded could be advantageously ex.
pended during the coming year. There
was no Standardization Of supplies. and
the various departments were paying
varying prices for. the same article.
What President TAFT Did.
AS soon as President Taft took office
this system ceased. At the outset Pres.
ldent Taft impressed upon his cabinet
officials the absolute necessity Of econ.
omy and efficiency in their depart.
ments. He admonished them that not
a dollar beyond what was necessary to
run the government efficiently In their
departments. including u fair margin
for progress. which is part Of eRclen.
cy in the program Of President Taft.
should be asked of congress. The ef.
feet was immediate, Every depart.

omy and efficiency commission BY cut
ting on its appropriations. In recent
appeal to congress for funds to con
tinue 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
a whole are interested chiefly In the
following governmental objects: The
national defense, the protection of per.
sons and property, the promotion OF
friendly relutions 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.
ing. the promotion Of transportation
and communication, the postal service.
including postal savings banks and
parcels post; the care and utilization of
the public domain. the promotion of
education, art and science and recrea.
ton; the promotion of public health
and the care and education Of the In.
dams 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
his policy of economy and efficiency
may be concluded and become one Of
the greatest achievements Of his ad.
ministration-that OF placing the gov.
ernment on a business basis-wants
congress to appropriate s25O,oO0 more
for the support Of the commission now
doing that work.
The economy and efficiency commits.
sion has already saved to the taxpay-
ers Of the country more than $1,000. 900
annually by its suggestions and by the
time it has completed its work It is be-
lleved ten times this sum can be sarved
annually to the taxpayers. In the mat.
ter Of railroad fare for government OH.
Gals alone it has found that S12, 900. 600
was expended in a single year at the
highest prevailing railroad rates. at,
least 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
departments Of the government.

President Taft more than any Of his
predecessors in the White House has
given strict attention to placing the
government upon a business basis as
regards its receipts and expenditures.
Economy and efficiency became one OF
the cardinal policies OF his administra.
ton as soon as he entered upon the
presidency. and 1t was well for the
country that this was 80. for his adj
ministration inherited a deficit in the
treasury Of $5s, 100000. which has now
been transformed into surplus Of
$30000.000. The average citizen and
taxpayer will be interested In this
fact, because the problem which con-
fronted the president at the outset. al
though upon gigantic scale, was
similar to that of the ordinary shop
keeper or business man, farmer or
wage Garner or even housewife who
is called upon to make ''both ends
meet" either in business or In the
