BUDGET BUREAU TELLS HOW HONEY IS SPENT BY U. S. GOVERNMENT
PAM.ADIIM NEWS BEItUAC WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Estimates of appropriations for the government's fiFcal year, beginning the first of next July, prepared by the budget bureau demolish that standard piece of fiction that 90 cents out of every dollar expended by Uncle Sam goes for war purposes. , The average dollar appropriated will be spent as follows: For the legislative branch of the government, 4 cents; .veterans' ., bureau, 14.5 cents; other commissions, boards
and bureaus outside of the established
departments, 1, cent; department of agricufture, 4.9 cents; department of
commerce, .6 c'nt; department of in
terior. 10 cents; department of justice,
including the supreme court and other federal judiciary, .6 cent; department of labor, .2 cent; navy department, 10.1
cents;' state department, .5 cent;
treasury department, including appro
priations for payment of interest on public debt and reduction of principal, 46.5 cents; 'war department, including administration of the Panama canal, river and harbor improvements and other non-military activities, 9.9 cents; District of Columbia, .8 cents. The postoffice department is largely supported from postal revenue. Explains Expenditures Another chart furnished by the budget bureau also shows that the United States is far from being a militaristic nation, for this chart indicates that for every dollar now appropriated only 13.5 cents goes for purely military and naval purposes in the Interest of national defense. The total expenditures charged as "military functions" are 32.7 cents out of every dollar. This includes the 13.5 cents referred to and 19.2 cents for pensions, retirement pay and the veterans' bureau. A table which accompanies the chart prepared by the budget bureau compares the expenditures of the present
fiscal year and the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal years with expenditures for the next fiscal year with expenditures as far back as the fiscal year of 1915. Thi3 comparison shows a general reduction in all classes of expenditures, but the greatest reduction to be in expenditures for military and naval purposes. -In 1915, 41.6 cents out of every dcIar was spent for military functions. , , The frontiers in continental United States have vanished. The era of cheap land will never return. From now on the price of land , will be increased, a government survey shows, because of the scarcity of tillable areas and the increasing cost of cultivating land which is tillable. - According to the department of agriculture there are 40.000,000 acres of absolute desert. 270,000.00 0 acres of forest land and 600.000,00 acres of land which i3 semi-arid and suitable only for grazing. ...'. Those who wish new land3 can find plenty in cut-over sections at prices ranging from $1 to $30 per acre, the survey shows. However,, the department estimates that it would cost all the way from $35 to $200 per acre to clear such land and make it ready for cultivation. There are 91,000,000 acres of undrained land that also can be purchased cheaply, but the cost of drainage is'shown to be almost prohibitive.
