great saving to the taxpayers OF the
country. Already there has been q
great number Of people taken from
the pay roll of many Of the depart

runs into the millions. The budget
was passed by the last republican con-

on account Of some minor provisions
il contained. AS the system is new,
estimates are furnished covering the
running expense Of the departments
and that amount is appropriated.
Taxes are levied in accordance with
the estimates and the departments
ara required to operate upon that
sum. In this manner deficiencies are
eliminated so that appropriations will
in future be unnecessary on that
score. It is following out the express

there be in future less government IN
business and more business in govern
