TALKS Of EFFICIENCY
IN PUBLIC BUSINESS
Former President. Taft Recommends
Reorganization of Federal Gov
ernment Systems.

NEW YORK, December 12.-Former
President Taft, guest of honor at a
luncheon today at the Lawyers Club.
spoke at length on efficiency and economy
| in the national government and advo-
Gated the establishment of a budget
system.
"All the countries in the world that
have respectable governments. except our
own, have budgets he said. I'VE have
acted like children. We have had SO much
money available through taxation that we
have not been obliged to consult the rev.
enue side of the ledger Now we are
coming to the point where we must, and
in view of that necessity We must pursue
the policy that all other governments have
found absolutely necessary in order to
keep out of bankruptcy.
Three Great 1nstrumentalities.
These three things are the great in
strumentalities that ought to be created:
First, machinery Tor the reorganiza-
ton of the executive departments of the
government so as to eliminate duplica-
tions and overlaps:
Second, bureau directly responsible
to the President. to report to him a COM
parative statement of economy and eff
cheney in each department, and
Third. a plan for bringing the execu-
tive and legislative departments closer
together and the preparation of an
| annual budget upon which Congress
can inte]liSently act.
How to Effect Cooperation.
THE cooperation of the executive
and the legislative branches in this
| matter of the budget can be best ef-
fected by carrying out recommends :
| tions to Congress. made in one Of my
| last messages, that the heads of de-
partments be given an opportunity to
appear on the floor of each house to
answer questions, to take part in the
discussion. to introduce bills, and
through the Secretary of the Treasury
! to present the budget for which the
executive departments, with the Presi-
| dent at the head, and his cabinet be.
| hind him, become responsible.
! With the opportunity of the Secre'
| tary of the Treasury and the othel
| cabinet officers to appear upon the hool
| i'll presentation of the budget. mean:
| will be offered for an intelligible dis
cussion. and if Congress chooses t
| ignore the recomme mendations or the
| executive, then the responsibility viii
| be that of Congress. In the presenta
! ton. which the executive makes, the
! whole field of government expenditure!
/ will be covered, and the whole fielt
! of government income

Heir to- Fathers Estate.
Friends of the Duryea family said
tonight that Chester was undoubtedly
a large-if not the argest-benefici-
airy under the will of his father. The
estate is valued at upwards of ST.
100000.
Robert B. Honeyman, the family
lawyer for many years, would say
nothing tonight concerning this phase
of the situation save that an estimate
of $5,0O0,00O was too large. There are
three children-H. H. Duryea, Mrs. r.
Ellery Anderson, who is abroad, and
Chester-but of the three the father
was brought in closer contact with
Chester. In everything, friends say,
the young man turned to his father
for counsel. Today he said:
eff father was here he would I'M
derstand why l did it. He knew that
George Washington commanded me
to kill him."
In the Raymond street Jail he show
ed signs of recurrence of an early
attack of mania, during which he
sought to beat his brains out against
the bars of his cell.
General Asleep When Shot.
The tragedy occurred On the porch
at the rear of the Duryea home,
where both father and son were in
the habit of sleeping. About ] o'clock
Chester Duryea slipped from his cot
into the house, where he kept num-
Der of rifles, revolvers and shotguns
for hunting. He selected an automat-
ic pistol and magazine rifle and re-
turned to the open-air porch. Stand
ing within a few feet OF his sleeping
! father he fired first from the rifle and
then emptied the revolver. Although
servants said there had been on quar-
rel between General Duryea and his
son before they retired for the night
an overturned table, a broken screen
and books scattered about the floor OF
the sleeping porch led the police to
believe the son had awakened his
father and that struggle had ensued
before the shots were fired.

Links" as Applied to Golf.

And speaking of games, how many
know the origin of the word links" as
applied to the field on which golf is
played? The dictionary says that
links" means stretch of sandy soil,
interrupted by heather. But it comes
from an old Saxon word "hlinc,' which
means a ledge, ali embankment, a
boundary. Malvern Link and the
Links Of st. Andrews were there and
somebody invented game to go with
them.

The indications. now are that four
strong delegations will be in Jack

union of the CoAfederates. Rich
mond. Va, Memphis, Tenn, and New
Orleans are already organizing their
forces for the contests. and letters
have been received from Waco, Texas
indicating that that city will be in
the fight also.
The champions of Richmond have

Gathering of the Fair.
The calling together of the United
Confederate Veterans is the signal
for the mobilization of all the fairest
daughters of Dixie Land.
Along with Confederate Veterans
will come sponsors and maids of
honor from all parts of the South.
The reunion of the veterans has turn
ed into "a great social occasion. The
bellies of Dixie will be out in force.
The sponsors and maids of honor
are the official ladies of the meet
ing and are entertained as such. The
entire South unites to do honor to
them when they come.
Winnie Davis Started Custom.
Twenty odd years ago Mississippi
camp of Confederate veterans APP
pointed Miss Winnie Davis, daughter
of Jefferson Davis, sponsor at a re-
union. Miss Davis. in turn appointed
couple of her young friends to be
her maids of honor.
This incident, intended at the time as
temporary honor for the family of
Jefferson Davis, became q custom,
and now every organization in the
United Confederate Veterans associa-
ton appoint sponsors and maids Of
honor. The young ladies must have
an older female along with them, and
each organization appoints chaperon
and matron of honor.
The sons of Confederate veterans
following the footsteps of their
fathers maintain organizations in
every Southern state and hold their
reunion on the same dates. They
appoint sponsors and maids of honor.
The two organizations, closely allied,
therefore, send to each Confederate
reunion several hundred official
ladies selected from the best families
in the South.
