TAFT URGED ACTION
On Matters of Legislation Now Before
the Country.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 23.Presl
dent Taft in an address at the banquet
of the National Chamber Of Commerce
here last night urged that the organ
ization use its influence among the com
mercial bodies of the country for re-
newed life for several matters of ma
tional legislation which he declared were
the most important now before the peo,
pie OF the country. The president asked
especially for adequate and comprehen-
sive currency legislation and support
fer the economy and efficiency com
mission. In addition he urged that the
organization take up the question Of the
extension OF the civil service to all To-
cal appointive offices in the government
service. He appealed also for increased
efficiency OF the consular service.
The president, referring to the ap,
preaching end of his administration, said
that more time was necessary, in order
that the guiding influences of an adj
ministration might be brought to sue
cessful conclusion
81 am no third termer," he said "and
| don't seem to be even second term
err. but there comes time when a
second term is necessary to the carry
ing out of the work that has been start
ed by an administration that is about
to be ended"
Currency reform. the president de-
clared, was the most important sub
jcct before the country to-day in that
it touched every individual citizen OF
the country from the richest to tho
poorest. The need for it, he asserted,
should be brought home to Congress
DR.. Charles W. Eliot, president emer-
titus of Harvard university, addressed
the delegates on ''The crying need of
reform in the civil service"
He advocated the adoption Of the mer-
il system in the govemment system as
against the spoils system.
He said that the positions in the low
er grades in the government service
had been open to young men, but that
they could not get into the higher places
because these places "were spoils.' This
had come about. he said, as
the result of bargains between SEN
,tors and representatives.
