BIGGEST
j. S. EXPENSE
Research Shows Army and
Navy Use Up SO Per Cent Of
Government Expenditures.

Obligations arising from the war
or preparedness for the future, form
the biggest part of the expenses OF
the Government of the United
States, according to DR.. E. B. Rosa,
chief physicist of the Bureau Of
Standards, who has made scientific
study of the expenditures of the Gov
eminent The result Of his research
shows that SO per cent of the money
spent in running the Government
was for the army and navy, railroad
deficit, shipping board, pensions,
war risk insurance and interest on
the public debt.
HOW REST Is SPENT.
The other per cent was spent as
follows: Three per cent for admin
istrative purposes, per cent for pub
lie works. and per cent for research,
education and development.
DR.. Rosa used the expenditures OF
the fiscal year 1920 in making his re-
search.
Many of the civil government bu-
reaus. he says, make enough money in
fees to cover the entire amount of
money appropriated by Congress in
running these bureaus for the year.
1t is difficult to find out just how
each department is running, he says,
because the money they earn in fees
and other duties is covered into the
Treasury Department under the head
of miscellaneous items and not cred
tied to the bureau which earns the
money.
The expenditures, DR.. Rosa says, do
not show exactly how much money is
being spent in each bureau and de-
partment. and cites as an example the
Panama Canal. The cost of fortifica-
tons on the canal, he points out are
charged to the War Department
while they should rightfully be
charged to the Panama Canal.
appropriation bills do not show
the earnings or credits to bureaus
and departments and hence in many
cases are misleading as to the real
cost of the given branch of the SER
vice." says DR.. Rosa. I'm some cases
the whole cost, and in other cases q
large part of the cost, is covered by
fees or earnings. Examples are the
consular service, the Patent Office,
the Land office, the Reclamation ser
vice, the Bureau Of Navigation, the
Forest Service, national bank exami-
nations, the Federal Reserve Board,
and notably the Postoffice Depart
ment.
s7oo.ooo.ooo PREVIOUS COST.
"a billion dollar Congress- was q
familiar phase in pre-war days, but
this did not mean that the Nationa al
Government cost the taxpayers a bill
lion dollars a year. 1t meant merely
that the gross disbursements of the
Government including the entire
business of the Postoffice Depart
ment, amounted to such sum per
annum. In no single year prior to
our entry into the Great War were
the net expenses of the Government
as much as s7OO, 100000 The dis
tinction between gross disbursements,
and net expenses is too obvious per-
haps to be analysed. but it is often
overlooked"
DR.. Rosa has figured out that the
average cost to the taxpayer OF the
civil activities of the governmc mt
amounted to s2.15 per capita divided
as follows: For primary government
functions, s1.0S: for research, educa-
ton, and development, % cents, and
for public work, 70 cents.

SLAYER OF SON.
BosseIman Offers $1,000 Re-

tim Of Foul Play.

Firm in his belief that his son,
Carl A. Bosselman. wealthy Wash
ington souvenir merchant, WAS muir
dered and was not, as the New York
police assert. the victim OF a drunken
fall, Andrew c. Bosselman today an
nounced he would pay 1000 for In
formation that would fasten the
guilt upon those he believes respon-
sible for his sons death.
POSITIVE OF MURDER
II aN positive my son was the
victim Of brutal assault" said
Bosselman. discussing the circum-
stances surrounding the finding OF
the boy. partly dressed. his skull
fractured, lying on the street near
Forty-sixth and Park avenue, New
York. in the early morning Of jan
uary 2.
Two men. both OF whom declare
to Bosselman they were in the vi

the man, the other says the patrol

Both stories directly contradict the
testimony OF Patrolman Walsh. who
admits following Bosselman. but as
serts he gave up the chase after a
few blocks and did not see Carl
until he was summoned by citizen
who had discovered Bosselman lying
in the street.
TWO INVESTIGATIONS.

surrounding the death. Assistant Dis

The elder Bosselman has hired pri-

There Is no doubt in my mind
that my son was murdered" says
Bosselman. Everything points to
that. So I got witnesses and placed
them before the assistant district at
torney. 1 have done everything in
my power to ascertain the facts and
will get them before long.

CHASED BY POLICEMAN.
Enmeshed in the conflicting stories
of eye-witnesses of the events preoed-
ing the finding Of the body, this much
Is clear: Bosselman. with three com
panions had been celebrating the
night. Then. with Thomas j. Nc.
Manus and two others. he met Patrol
man Walter Walsh at Fifty-frst street
and Park avenue. After a few words.
Walsh chased them. Bosselman went
one way. his companions another.
What happeend between this time and
the hour Bosselman was found Is a
mystery. Bosselman died at Bellevue
Hospital several hours after he was
picked up from the street.

that power goes measure of respon-

THE PRESIDENTS VIEWS

Zone of the opposition's chief criti-
cisms of Warren G. Harding, when
he was campaigning for the Presi-
dency, was that he would be ruled
by the Senate oligarchy.' Another
was that he lacked courage. The
first has been repeatedly disproved
by President Harding, and how pro-
foundry false the second was has
been proved by his remarkable ad-
dress in Birmingham on the race
question. No President in the history
of this Republic has had the temerity
to handle this great domestic ques-
ton with the courage and manliness
exhibited by Mr.. Harding on that
occasion.
"His demand for political and eco
nomic equality for the negro was re-
ceived in silence by the whites, ac-
cording to reports, and one writer
said, at the close of the address
members of the Presidents party
were frankly apprehensive as to how
his remarks on the race question
might be received throughout the
South Naturally such bold treat
ment of the subject would be receiv-
ed in silence. For decades American
statesmen when visiting the South
have either gracefully side-stepped
the race question, or have attempted
to curry favor by damning the negro
with faint praise. Roosevelt was
perhaps the only man, certainly since
the Civil war, who had the hardihood
to plead for square deal for the
black man. When T. R. invited
Booker T. Washington to his table at
the White House there was a gasp of
indignation from the 'lily-whites' of
Dixie and the lynchers and black
baiters were thrown into hysteric
rage, but this sentiment was sue
ceeded by a second sober thought
and Roosevelt was the idol of the
South long before he passed to his
reward. 1t is much more likely that
the people of the South, after they
have had time to read and digest
Harding's address will agree with the
terse statement of Alabama's COVER
nor, Thomas E. Kilby, viz: In my
opinion Mr.. Harding gave a clear
and conservative statement of the
race question, and I heartily approve
it.
"The Pat Harrisons and the Tawm
Helms will have elements in their
constituencies to harangue respect
ing the speech, but those whose Wis
ion is not focused on a backwoods
voting precinct, and are able to con-
slider the subject in it's national as
pect will eventually bear witness to
the sanity Of the Presidents conclu-
sions. The crux of his address is to
be found in these statements:
Politically and economically
there need be no occasion for great
and permanent differentiation, for
limitations of the individuals oppor-
tunity, provided that on both sides
there shall be recognition Of the alb
solute divergence in things social and !
racial Men of both races may

every suggestion of social equality |

that this is not question of social
equality, but question OF recog-
