Uncle Sam, like every one else. has felt
the increase In the cost of living. For
the maintenance of the federal govern
ment during the fiscal year ending June
20. 1911, Congress appropriated S1.O9s.-
61S 1SS. From every part of the country a
golden stream flows into the Treasury,

can war The aggregate money transac-
tons of the government now exceed FIVE
billion dollars annually, of which two
billions is in the nature of receipts and
disbursements and the remainder rep
resents funds in trust, including the cur
rency.
How swiftly the expenditures have
grown is. told in the Treasury balance

BY 1S45 the per capita expenditure had

never dropped below the S4.22 Of 1886.
Under modern conditions the increased

Congress was regarded as something to

Reed, against whose regime the criticism
was leveled. simply retorted that this was
a billion-dollar country. The appropria-

1910 voted an average Of more than
billion a year The same was true OF the
