In the May report issued by the
National City Bank of New York City
comparison of the present and past
government finances are given, show
ing that it costs to run this govern
ment per capita considerably below
the average Of what it costs other
countries. The men who for the first
seventy years of our history kept the
average annual cost of government
down to about So per capita had no
such problems to handle as have con-
fronted legislators and administrators
in the last half century.
To the constant grumblers who
have little else to do than to find fault
with the conduct OF public affairs, it
might be we'll to make the COMPARE
sons with the cost of other countries.
Study of the per capita cost of gov
eminent in other countries, however,
shows that extravagant and slipshod
as are American government finances,
the burden upon the taxpayers is less
than that upon citizens of any of the
great powers except Japan. In this
country in 1910 it was $3.50: in
Austria, 1884,; in Great Britain,
s1s.45; in France, s213S; in Italy,
$13.55; in Russia, 1912. The Ger
man Imperial government cost it's
subjects $10.72 per capita, in 1910;
that of Japan, $6.49. China, most
populous nation on earth, spent only
6S cents per capita for it's govern
ment in 1910. Turkey spent $6.41,
few cents less than Japan. Chile
and Argentine spent $21.12 and
$19.64 respectively, but Brazil was
only little above the United States,
her expenditure being $9.11. Even
economical Switzerland spent more
for government, per capita, than the
United States, the figures being $500.
Spain and Sweden were about even,
with $11.16 and $11.O6 respectively.
Norway and the Netherlands went
higher, with $13.O8 and $14.67 re-
spectively. There was striking con-
trast between the commonwealth of
Australia at $8.19 and New Zealand
at $54.1O. New Zealand tops the list,
with an expenditure per capita nearly
seven and a half times as great as
ours. -.
Reform of governmental finances
in the United States is possible but
! not easy. It will be a tremendous
task to install a modern scientific
system co-ordinating all the govern
ment departments but nothing like
so difficult of accomplishment as will
be the legislation necessary to pro-
vide for it.
It is possible that the cumulative
