A BIG DECREASE In
u. S. EXPENDITURES
RETRENCHMENT IN NEARLY,
ALL MAJOR DEPARTMENTS
OF GOVERNMENT SHOWN.

WASHINGTON. - Retrenchment
in nearly all the major departments is
shown in the statement of classified
government expenditures for the fiscal
year 1924 just made public. 1t is in
dictated, however, that the departments
must do some vigorous chopping in
their estimates for the fiscal year 1926
which are now in preparation and for
which maximum already has been
announced by President Coolidge.
While total expenditures for the hs-
cal year which ended June 80 have
previously been announced, today's
statement gave for the first time the
amounts spent by the various depart
ments.
War Expenses Smaller.
Expenditures for war purposes
showed the greatest decreases, but
the item attributed to the world war
continued to loom the largest. Re-
duction in the public debt made it pos
sible to reduce the interest on the debt
from $1,055, 1928, 68961 in the fiscal
year 1923 to $940,602,91292 in 1924,
but this item remained the largest sim
gle one, representing nearly one fourth
of the total expenditures chargeable
against ordinary receipts. Total ordi-
nary expenditures for the fiscal year
1924 were $3,506677,715.34 as against
1901, 478,0 2026 in the fiscal year
1923.

year 1924, which was considerably be-
low the amount spent the previous
year, totaling $461 ,719,433.83, but still
was greater than the totals of such
departments as those of war and navy.
The war department spent $348, 62o,-
778 in the fiscal year 1924, as against
1892, 6348o in the previous year. The
navy department came next in the
amount of expenditures with $332,24o,-
1867 as against $333,201, 362.31. The
interior department spent $328,270, 697,-
II in 1924 as compared with $354,o23,-
05888.
Agricultural Outgo
The department of agriculture spent
more money in the fiscal year 1924
than in 1928 due chiefly to expendi-
lures under the federal aid highway
improvement system. The total in
1924 was 141,116,44009 as against
$128,745, 677.33 in 1928.
The treasury cut its expenditures
from $l45,016,859.60 in 1923 to $751;
411.20517 Other departments which
retrenched included the department of
commerce, which reduced expenditures
from 21,783, 508.71 to $21, 429, 67893;
the department of justice which cut
its total from $32,521, 1850 to $212,-
134,2228.10; the state department
which cut its total from SIS, 463, 2276.-
80 to $4,000, 45689; and the depart
ment of labor, which cut its total from
1924 ,466.73 to $6,620,052.55.
General expenditures of govern
ment departments, exclusive of the
interest on the public debt, public debt
retirements, the postal service and OPP
erations in special accounts amounted
to $1,834,281,32457 in 1924 as COM
pared with $1,961, All, 32173. Not
withstanding new expenditures under
the soldiers bonus President Coolidge
has directed that estimates for the
fiscal year 1926, exclusive Of debt
items and the postal service, be kept
within $1,800,000000, which fore
shadows sharp cuts in various depart
ments.
