Taf t Urges Economy
In Administration of
Affairs by the U. S.
Iiient WUlism H. Tsft, speaking before
the Detroit Bankers' club tonight, urged
economy In the administration of affairs
of the federal government. "More power,"
he declared, "should be vested in the
his service for the coming season. "Wal
ler Johnson will play with th Senator
next year or not at all." according to
Griffith. "I'll eue him to th end of th
earth." 1
president to keep his hand upon the ex-1 During hi career her Johnson haa
penditure of money in the various de
partments.
"With economy and efficiency of gov
ernment an object," Mr. Tsft said, "there
are three great instrumentalities that
ought to be crested: First, machinery
for the reorganisation of the executive
departments of the government so as to
eliminate duplications and overlaps: sec
ond, a bureau directly responalble to the
preaiJent to report to him a comparative
statement of economy and efficiency In
, a-h department; and. third, a plan for
Lringing the executive and legislative de
partments closer together and the prepa
ration of an annual budget upon which J
rongrees can intelligently act. j
"We must give to the legislative depart
ment, to aid it In Its preparation of ap
piopriatioa bills. a deflnltt account
slated on both aide ot the ledger, so that
In respect of each appropriation bill It
may act with a comprehension of all.
That Is what a national budget is for.
That Is why they have budget In all the
countries of the world that bav respect
able governments, except our own. We
have acted like children. W hav had
so much money available through taxa
tion that we have not been obliged to
consult the revenue aids of tha ledger.
Now we are coming to the point where
