WASHINGTON. April 4.-SpecisJ)
President Taft sent a special message to
I congress today pointing cut In detail
f how finding of special comraiasion on
I efficiency and economy in auminlatratiou
of public affairs can be nud.' affective.
The measase saja:
"On the JUli of J.muity Wit 1 sent a
message to tjs contn&u ucacribiia the
work of tho oiuns.sjicn upiwlntcd by
me under authority of Uie iU'tu of June
25, 1910, and Starch !, l'.'ll. granting ap
propriations to enable me to Inquire Into
the methods of transacting public buai
nesa In tho various executive depart
ments snd other governmental establiah
ments, and to maks report ss to Improved
efficiency and greater economy to be ob
tained In the expenditure of money for
the maintenance of government. By asy
of Illustrating the utility of the commis
sion, snd the work which they were en
gaged upon, I referred to a number of
reports which they had filed, recommend
ing chsnges In orgsnisatlon of the de
partments and bureaus of the govern
ment, the avoidance of duplication of
functions snd aervlcca, and Ihe Installa
tion of labor saving devices and Improved
office methods. All of the recommenda
tlona looked to savings of considerable
amounts. With the message of February
4, 191!, I transmitted to the congress the
reports on the centraliauilon of distribu
tion of government documents, on ths use
of window envelopes, snd on the use of s
photographic process for copying rec
ords, "A number of the reports of the com
mission had not then been commented on
by ths heads of the departments that
would be affected by the change recom
mended, and therefore I did not feel Jus
tified at that time In recommending to
the congress the statutory amendments
necessary to carry out ths recommenda
tions of tha commission. Since then,
however. I have received the recommen
dations of the heads of departments, snd
I transmit this message for the purpose
of expressing my approval of tha changes
recommended by Ihe oommlsslon and of
laying Before the congress the reports
prepared by the commissi oh. ,
: W aata Trained Postmasters.
"I hare several times called attention
to tha advantages to be derived from
placing in tha classified service the local
officers under the deportments of ths
Treasury, tha Poatotflce, of Justice, of
the Interior and of Commerce and Labor.
In my mraaags submitted to the con
gress on January 17 1 referred to the
loss occasioned to the government be
cause of the fact that In msny case two
persona are paid for doing work that
could easily be don by one. In the
fneantims I have caused an Inquiry to
be mads as to th amount In monay of
Oils loss. The results of this inquiry are
that the loss amounts to at leaat fls.
OOO.uOO annually. For example. It appears
that a very substantial economy would
result from putting experienced snd
trained officers In charge of the first
and second class postofrtces Instead of
selecting tlie postmasters In accordance
with tha present practice. As ths an
nual expenses of the first and second
clsaa offices aggregats ths enormous
sum of more than rt,iX,0O, undoubtedly
it tha postmssters of then offices were
embraced in the classified service, and
required to devote all their time to th
public service, the annual savings would
eventually represent msny millions of
dollars. Th saving In salaries alone, not
taking Into account any saving due ts
Increased efficiency of operstlon, would
amount to about S4.SuO.00O. At the present
time the salaries of postmssters of the
first snd second classes smount to S6.07I,
909, while the salaries of assistant post
masters of tha same classes amount to
C. 830,000. Jf the position of postmaster
were placed la th classified service and
those officers were given salaries equal
to per cent mora than the salaries
now given to th assistant postmasters,
ths latter position being no longer re
quired, there would be a saving In sal
aries to the government of t4.aU.00O. In
the case of postmasters at offices of the
third clsss a large annual saving could
be made.
"An annual saving of nearly PK0W could
be made It the position of pension agent
were placed in a classified service, since
the work now dona by a pension agent
at a salary of,4.M and a chief clerk
at a salary ranging between (1.400 and
SLSO could easily be done by one per
son In ths permanent classified service
at a salary varying from CIO to S3.O00.
Greater economy and efficiency would
result from the abolition of the pension
agencies and from the adoption of s
phut in accordance with which pensions
would be paid by th pension office In
Washington.
EeaawasF la Laad Offices.
"What Is true in the matter of payment
of pensions Is also true In the service
under the general land office. Th field
service of this of floe could be more effi
ciently and economically operated If It
were provided by law that the office of
receiver of district land offices be abol
ished and the duties transferred to the
register, assisted by a bonded clerk, and
the register placed la th classified ser
vice. Jt haa several times been esti
mated that more than 3M.eW would be
saved annually aad the efficiency of the
service greatly Increased by the adop
tion of such a plan.
"Large expenditure are made for sal
aries of political appointees In th inter
nal revenue and customs services. In
both services direct saving In sslarles,
