payers go? How is every dollar of
j the federal government’s total in
this particular field of figures, and
they are apt to be meaningless on ae
count of their very vastness.
Here, however, the Washington
Post presents the facts in a readily i
understandable way. If you pay $100
to the federal government (and every
time you buy an article on which the
government has collected a tariff tax j
at some port you pay something into j
Uncle Sam’s strongbox) this is what
becomes of it:
Congress takes 40 cents: the White
House 10 cents, and independent of¬
fices, SI3.49. The Department of Ag¬
riculture draws $4.20; the Depart¬
ment of Interior, $9; the Department
of Justice 60 cents; the Department
of Labor 20 cents; the Navy Depart- i
ment, $9.50; the War Department, !
$10.10; the Department of Commerce,
70 cents, and the Treasury itself,
$8.10. The Panama Canal requires 20 I
cents; the District of Columbia, 10
cents, subscriptions to capital sotck
in the Federal Intermediate Credit
banks, 30 cents interest on the public
debt; $28.20; premium on the public (
debt, 10 cents; retirement of the pub¬
lic debt, $13.20; miscellaneous and
special appropriations, 70 cents.
Here is presented, as The Post
points out, in concise form vague,
but much discussed item, “the cost of
government.” From a study of the
different values assigned therein, the
average citizen can gain a clearer
conception, perhaps, of the require¬
> ments of the national government as
they affect him than by any other
method. The estimate, at all events,
gives a summary ‘expense account” ,
more accessible to the mind of the
ordinary individual than the annual
report of the Secretary of the Treas¬
■ ury.—Albany Herald.
