PRESIDENT TAFT's EFFICIENCY COMMISSION SAYS GOVERN
 MENT IS ExTRAvAcANT.
BUDGET SYSTEM ECONOMICAL
If This System Is Followed Persist entIy for Ten Years, the Savinq Would Amount to Hundreds
 of Millions Annually.

Washington, Sept. S.-Frederiek A. Cleveland, chairman of President Taft's economy and efficiency com mission. in statement today outlin- ing the plan that will be followed in submitting to congress a budget of public estimates and expenditures. declared that "by ten years of con tinuous. persistent effort the gov efnment could reduce it's running ex- penses nearly $300.000,000 a year.
 After near,y two years of study Of the problem, 1t is my belief tha, Former Senator Aldrich's statement that $300.000,000 per annum could be saved if The government were run on a busness-lize basis. is not so wide of the mark as had been supposed, said Dr Cleveland
 The general purpose of the proposed budget which President Taft has di- rected Secretary MacVeagh to send to congress as a companion document to the usual annual estimates. was outlined in President Taft's public let ter September 19. Dr. Cleveland to : day gave the following as "the con : crete recommendation of the consmis- sion:
 Tt is proposed that the budget should be made up of five parts, IS follows:
 A budget message. setting forth " brief, the significant proposals
 "A summary financial statement. tThe purpose Of this Is to give pie ture of present financial conditions and of post operating resnlts).
 "A summary of transactions show ing contracting and trading relations. fthe purpose of this is to serve as an index to the detail facts, pertaining 10 economy and efficiency in making purchases, 1t would show how much the government has paid for fuel clothing. forage, stationery, etc. The supporting details concerning things bought. prices paid and the purposes of their use would be found in depart ment reports).
 "A summary of estimates. (Tais would he in the nature Of a brief com parative statement of estimates of revenues as well as expenditures the picture Of what is asked for and lhe proposed method of financing)
 "A summary of proposed changes m law. (This would get before congress and the country what legislation ths administration thinks desirable to enable it to do business with greatest economy and efficiency at the begin hing of each session instead of hay- ing changes in law dragged in as riders in appropriation bills at the last day when no one has the time even to find out what he is voting on. The aim is to head off poker legis- iation that has been connived at be- hind closed doors in committee room and finally sprung on congress without the knowledge or consen1 of members of standing committees on the subjectl.
 "The results of a budget plan Dr. Cleveland added, would be two fold: First, it would put an end to doing public business in the dark; second, by forcing the administration to as sume responsibility for it's proposals and congress to assume responsibility for changes, both would be placed on basis of cooperation for the con- sideration of public needs and the means of meeting them"

BURGLAR gets
STIFF SENTENCE

Sam Kahi, alleged by the police as
an old offender, and who charged with
having. stolen sundry articles of adorn-
ment and wearing apparel, entered a
plea Of guilty, received series of sen
fences from the District court bench
this morning aggregating eighteen
months imprisonment.
Kahi, is charged with the robbery of
a Japanese hotel in which several
dodgers are said to have lost valuable
articles including gold watch and
other trinklets. - ~.~.
The Hawaiian is also charged with
having effected an entrance to premis-
es on Desha Lane the dressing room
for a company of base ball layers. In
this raid Kahi is said to have made
way with clothing, shoes, panama hats
and $40 lei. -..-.
AS Schofield Barracks, Kahi's stay
was short lived, and it was there tlat
steps were taken to effect his arreGN.
The officers declare that pairs of leg
gings, and bicycle were removed by
the Hawaiian. 49,.
The police record of Kahi shows
that he has hut recently served a two
year sentence upon a charge of burg
larry, the man also being detained an
additional two years because of break.
Ing jail Kahi also served time at tie
retord school.
Chief of Detectives McDuffie and his
men believe that with the arrest of

BANANA FIBER INDUSTRY.

The Ceylon Patriot of Jan. 80, 1912,
deals with the possibility of the ex-
traction of fiter from the banana plant
after the fruit has been harvested. A
stripping method using wooden
frame holding a blunt knife actuated
! By a bent bamboo pole or by steel
springs, similar to the devices used
fer the hand stripping Manila hemp
is described.
1t is estimated that 1900 banana
stocks will yield ton of fiber; tina: a
man and boy can strip Is lbs of fiber
per day at a cost of so cents.
Thus the stripping cost Rs. Is per
ton. Baling. insurance. freight. COM
: mission &c, cost an additional Rs. As.
tctaling Rs. 120.
The London price fluctuates, but is
usually about Rs. 300 per ton, leaving
net profit of Rs. $50. The estimate
is based 'on the assumption that tie
stocks cost nothing. having been
grown for the fruit An acre of ground
ordinarily can be planted with 1909
plants from which fruit is gathered In
IS months. Fruit punches selling at
40 cents yield Rs. 600 of which Rs. $50
should more than cover the cost leav-
Sag a net of Rs. $50 for the fruit,
Whichtetter results are claimed.
Fibers are becoming so important
in the worlds industries that econom-
:, iCal banana farming would seem to
lictate that an effort should be made
to utilize a fiber which nets one-half
as much as the fruit.
