MR.. TAFT ASKS FOR S25O.O09.
The President, In Special Message,
Wants Investigations To Con-
tinue and Points Out
Value Of the Work.

ngton.-Congress is asked TO
appropriate $250,0OO for continuing
the investigation of the commission
on economy and efficiency into the
executive departments OF the govern
ment, in a special message by Presi-
dent Taft transmitting to that body
the report OF the commission. In his
message the President points ont that
there is no greater service that can
be rendered to the country than that
of the continuance of the work of the
commission until some form of organ
ization is provided for continuously
doing this kind of work under the
Executive
The President expresses the opinion
that the technique and procedure OF
every branch and Office of the govern
ment should be submitted to the same
painstaking examination as that given
those on which reports have been
made To do this, however, President
Taft says that ample funds must be
provided and he asks that Congress
make the $250,000 available by March
for the incoming president.
Money Not Unwisely Spent.
"Ip my opinion, says the President,
this is not matter in which the
Congress should assume that public
money will be unwisely spent. At a
total cost of about $230,000 during the
81 months covered by the work Of
the commission, facts have been de-
veloped and recommendation have
been made that, if followed up, will
result in savings of millions OF dollars
each year. This has been done under
| the handicap of inadequate funds and
| uncertainty Of continuation, which in
| terfered with the making of plans
which could not be completely
| executed within a few months. 1t
would be very much to the advantage
of the administration if the president
were authorized to spend whatever
amount he may deem to be necessary
within the next two years, the only
condition attached being that he
render an account of expenditures.
Referring to the fact that it has not
been possible for the commission to
make final detailed reports on more
than few of the hundreds of Offices
in Washington and in only one office
outside of Washington has work of
this character been undertaken, the
President says the report submitted
will serve to illustrate the character
of results which may follow an extern
sive investigation of Office technique
and procedure.
Some Interesting Facts.
1T is further to be noted" con-
tinues the President, that the Offices
which have aeen reported on are
| those which have been frequently
under scrutiny. From what is known
of the offices outside of Washington it
is thought that it is in this field that
the largest opportunities for economy
will be found-rartly due to the fact
that these Offices have not been
brought under scrutiny, and partly
due TO the fact shat large number
of them are dominated by political APP
pointees."

Must Unofficially Agree.

In other words, the allies do not
wish to play into Turkeys hands by
re-entering the conference room with
out a definite program which may lead
to the definite conclusion of peace
this time. Before the meeting the
Turks and allies must have unofficial
ly agreed TO the main points Of the
territorial clauses of the treaty, so
that official ratification of those agree
ments can be had in the conference.
1t is also suggested that the British
foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey.
in his capacity as honorary president
of the conference, might take the
initiative. thereby obviating the neces-
sity of either of the parties appearing
to make the first advances. This
could be accomplished only if the
allies were assured that Turkey was
prepared to give up Adrianople.
