Government for Year of 1923; Costs Are listed. LARGE SUM IS SPENT UPON WATERWAYS Nearly Half of Expenses Are Taken Up in Payment On Federal Outstanding ' Debt- WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.--(Special Correspondence). The estimat of ap propriation8 needed for- the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1923, and end ing June 30, 1924, as submitted by the budget bureau, completely de molishes that standard piece of fiction which! shas been in service many years, to the effect that 90 cents out of every dollar expended by this gov ernment is expended for war purposes. The budget bureau analyzes' the esti mated expenditures, showing how the average dollar appropriated will be divided. The division will be as fol 'lows: For support of- the . legislative branch of th government, 4 cents; for the veterans bureau, 14.5 -cents; for other commissions, boards and bureaus outside the regular depart ments, 1 cent;. department of agricul ture, 4.9 cents; department of com merce, .6 "cents; department of the interior, 10 cents; department of jus tice, including United States supreme court and other federal judiciary, .6 cents; department of labor, .2 cents; navy department, 10.1 cents; state department, .5 cents; treasury de partment, including appropriations for payment of interest on public debt and reduction of principal, 46.5 cents ; war department, including administra tion of Panama canal, river and har bor improvements and other non-military activities, 9.9 cents; District of Columbia, .8 cents. The postoffice de partment is largely supported from postal revenue. This clearly shows that the United I States is far from being a militaristic nation. In fact, in another chart fur nished by the budget bureau it is demonstrated, that out of every dol lar expended, only 13.5 cents goes to purely military and naval purposes in the interest of national defense. The total expenditures charged as "military funclods" are 32.7 cents out of every dollar. This includes . the 13.5 cents above mentioned for strictly defense purposes and 19.2 cents for pensions, retirement pay, veterans bu reau, etc. According to this chart 34.4 cents out of every dollar expended by the government goes for what is classified as "non-functional" purposes. that is, payment of interest on 'public debt, retirement of principal of public debt, etc. For the purposes "of "general functions" such as cost of the legis lative branch of the government, and general overhead of the various ad ministrative agencies, 2.8 cents of every, dollar is expended. For what are known as "civil functions," which constitute practically all of the ad ministrative agencies of the govern ment, 27.3 cents are expended. A table accompanying' this chart compares the expenditures of the present fiscal year and the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 1923, with expendi tures as far back as the fiscal year of 1915. Thisi comparison shows a 'general reduction in all classes of expenditures, but the greatest reduc tion to be in the expenditures for military and naval purposes. In 1915, 41.5 cents out of every dollar was spent for military functions. - The budget bureau also submits a comparative statement of the appro priations proposed for the fiscal year beginning next July with those which were made for the current fiscal year. This shows a decrease of $169,656,934. The principal decreases are in the de partment of the interior approxi mately $11,000,000; treasury depart partment approximately $12,000,009; war department approximately $20, 000,000; shipping board approximate ly $50,000,000. A few departments show an in crease in estimated appropriations for the next year over this, but with the ' exception of the department of agriculture and the veterans bureau, these increases are small. The de partment of agriculture shows an in crease of - approximately $20,000,000 due to the increased appropriations for highway improvements. The vet erans bureau shows an increase of $18,000,000 over this year. Representative In City- George Randal Jr., wtoose home is at Central Point, was in Oregon City Wednesday.

S. FUTURE HELP MAY BE EXTENDED IS THEORY Reparations Difficulty Said . Fault of Stand Taken by Administration of Wilson. NEW YORK, Dec. 20. An address by Thomas W. Lament of J. P. Morgan & Co., before the council of foreign relations last night in which he dis cussed prospects of a loan to Ger many, wag regarded today as one of the most significent statements yet made on the question. The American people have no in tention of making a loan to Germany, ha said, because she is not in any po sition at the present time "to inspirit our people with confidence to buy her bonds-" Lamont stated conditions under which he believed a German loan might be floated in this country at some future time not a large loan but enough to enable Germany "to get over the hill." These'conditions, he said, were the settlement of the reparation problem and the fixing of a definite sum so that Germany would be- aware of her obligation. "Following the fixation of this sum," he continued, "Germany must set out on a period of deflation. There may possibly come with that a scheme of the allies for the supervision of such deflation, including the adminis tration of Germany's customs." "Even if a loan is- advanced," he said, "i doubt if Germany will be lent a sum sufficient to discharge her reparations debt." - Lamont denied that the state depart ment had sent the German ambassa dor to confer with Morgan here re cently. He further expressed his opinion that the people of this coun try have the utmost sympathy for France and that they would be glad to lend money to her "on a large scale. Another speaker, John Foster Dulles, a former member of the reparations commission, declared the present difficulty In the reparations question was due largely to the stand of for mer President Wilson. "It la the situation which Mr. Wil son created then that now affects the whole problem, said Dulles, "and the American ' people should not be disinterested in undoing it." Dulles related that the move of the allies at the peace conference to force Germany to pay the total war debts was oiocKed oy a wireless message sent by Mr. Wilson -from the George Washington when he was returning to America. In this radiogram the for mer . president declined to . put war costs in the reparations ftafrm CHICAGO CRIME WAVE IS INCREASED BY COLO CHICAGO, Dec. 19. Death, fire and crime stalked with the cold wave .which continued to hold Chicago in its grip today. Zero temperatures which prevailed over the city for the past three days causey five deaths, thousands of dol lars damage from fire and hundreds of minor robberies. ;With- freezing weather coming just before the holidays, the crime and fire wave was one of the worst in the his tory of the city, police declared. Acute suffering was reported among the poor in several sections of the city and relief societies wera rushed with work. Four men were found frozen to death last night Another man was killed when he slipped on the icy pavement and fell in the path of a skidding automobile. The fire department has had hardly a moment's rest in the last three days. More than 200 alarms of fire were answered. Scores - of families were forced to flee from their burning homes onto the wind-swept- streets, clad only in night clothes- Ninety per cent of the fires were caused by overheated furnaces, fire department officials said. Pickpockets, shoplifters, second story workers and holdup men worked overtime. Police headquarters was deluged with reports of robberies ranging from a few dollars to thou sands. "Cold weather always brings more crime?" police said. "So does the hol iday season. Combine them and we have a bad situation." The weather bureau predicted mod erating temperature tonight," but in dicated another cold wave would fol low at the end of the week. Funeral Service of A.
