WASHINGTON.-One would never
know the war WIS over by looking at
the prorosed t92O-21 national budget
Of tAf7h. 09o. sgS. plus the possible ad-
dition " fff4.O00.O 900.
As compared to wartime budgets
the total rs not startling.
But let us see what these hgures
mean as compared to our beforc-the-
war normal.
The total net public debt Of tho
United States on October rs. 1915. was
less than this Indicated Increase In
governmental expenditures for 1890
81, being Si.l3l 32.7SS.
The total appropriations for 1916
the year before we entered the war
including t813.3Gf GG7 for the postal
service. amounted to only st.tit.R3I-
Oi2, or f23,272.915 less than the pro-
speCtive Increase. The Increase alone
Ia more han the total cost OF admin
istortng the government for any two
Years prior to the Spanish-American
War.
The proposed Appropriation for 1920
1921 is more than ten times the appro-
priutlon for any yeur between 1892
and 1899.
