inn m TÄFI FOR ECONOMY FAVORS BUDGET SYSTEM FOR REGULATION OF GOVERNMENT'S FINANCE. DEPARTMENTS ARE WASTEFUL Speech Regarded as Keynote of Administration's Campaign Looking to Reduction High Cost of Living Would Pension Old Employes. Newark. N. J Feb. 24. President Taft came out flatly In favor of a budget system, by which the government's finances may be regulated. In a speech which he delivered before the board of trade.

The president touched broadly upon other phases of government policy, advocating among other things, the quick completion of the Panama canal to be paid for by the issue of bonds, the pushing of river Improvements and the building up of the army and navy. Two Battleships a Year. Like his predecessor, President Taft sees the necessity of expanding the navy and he advocated the construction of at least two battleships a year while the Panama canal is being rushed to completion. He believes, so he told his hearers, that it Is politic to add to the naval strength until the canal is finished, so as to provide ample protection to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. After the canal Is built, he says, the country can then afford to halt In Its strengthening of the navy but not until then. President Taft was In hearty accord, he declared, with the Idea of the proposed congressional commission to decide upon some new organization of the government's departments with the end in view of economizing expenses. If reform in government could be attained by any method suggested by the commission, then the president would indorse its recommendations. He suggested that a consolidation of various departments might be feasible. Would Pension Old Employes. Another Important recommendation made by the president was the pen sioning of what be called the super annuated employes of the government j and the substitution in their places of alert employes who would not waste the money paid to them. This question the commission, if appointed. Is to go into and President Taft indicated that he hoped the commission would find some way by which tho business affairs of the government could be administered with more regard for practical results. The president's speech, with Its various suggestions as to government economy, was regarded as the keynote of" a campaign to be carried on by the administration looking to the reduction in the high cost of living.
