HUNT WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—Uncle Sam threatens to be come the national spendthrift. He is dispensing millions, Yea billions, with less care than he formerly gave to the nditure of thousands. War finance has robbed him his sense of proportion, just as war wages and war profits have overturned popular appreciation of values. _ The cost of government, in the second year after the! War, like the cost of living, is headed up, not down. 1] _ The government is urging the people, as the best means of combating the H. C. of L., to practice rigid economy, to buy nothing but necessities. But the government itself, instead of practicing what it preaches, is getting ready to hundreds of millions more than it spent thru those same channels former! | Appropriations requ executive, legislative judicial branches ar ending June 30, 1, to date amount to $4,473,696,358, almost four and ‘@ half billions. | Total appropriations voted by congress for the cur ‘fiscal year, ending June 30, 1920, amount to $5,629,486 five and a half billions. : This makes an apparent cut or “saving” of $1,155,7 odd or over a billion in the proposed expenditures for th Ei ending June 30, 1921. On the basis of this reductio total appropriations asked, the country is being told that government's estimates have been prepared on the basis of strict economy. | This reduction of $1,155,790,000 in the appropriations asked is not achieved by any application of economy. It is achieved in spite of the lack of it. It is because certain Marge undertakings, due to the war, carried thru the Presen| t year, are npt to be continued into 1921. The appropriations for the current year, for instance, sted by the for the fiscal $1,000,000,000 European 100,000,000 Railroad cee 750,000,000 These three items, totaling $1,850,000,000, were extraor- charges and have no counterpart in the qstimates 1921. Deducting them, then, we find that for remain- government activities, conducted thru regular depart- channels, the estimates for 1921, instead of being 155,790,000 less than for 1920, are $694,209,963 greater. other words, the proposed increased expenditure alone d equal the total expenses of the government for any sar prior to 1899.
