alton and assistance is offered in
view of the fact that the South
Texas Chamber of Commerce,
speaking for the growers of South

able to round up majority of mem
bers. A blanket call for absentees
was sent out last night, after a

FNCI AND Halls DAWES ADDRESS AS HARBINGER OF PEAQ
WAR IS BIGGEST
GOVERNMENT
EXPENSE

Out of $3,427, 100000 spent
by the Government the first IL
months of the 1929 fiscal year,
$2,056, 734, 900 represented costs
directly attributable to the
World War or preparation for
future wars.
Treasury figures today showed
that all but $I,371,247, 900 of the
total outlay for Government in this
period was for the War and Navy
Departments, Veterans Bureau and
financing OF the public debt. These
accounts were $31 100000 heavier
than in the same period of last
year, despite $5S 900, 900 decrease
in interest costs.
Some Civfl Costs
While there were some civil ac-
tivities in the War and Navy De-
partmen,s, the large portion of the
following items of Government cost
may be charged up to the war or
preparedness:
War Department. $35S, ,071 900; in
crease of $27.239, 900.
Navy Department, 1894 ,S39, 900; in.
crease of S31 .064 900.
Veterans Bureau, 1892, ,61S, 1000: in.
crease of $15,911 900.
Interest, $3.50 900; decrease of
$58 900. 900.
Sinking fund to retire public debt,
1870 .277 900: increase of $15,356.000.
The gross cost OF the war to the
end of the present fiscal year will
be nearly $4,000 900, 900. Deduc-
tions from that, provided the war
debts are paid, and including war
supplies sales and minor items, will
reduce the net cost by over $10,-
900 900 900.
Taxes Come In
Income tax collections were pour
ing into the Treasury today by
the millions. There was big gain
over last year, particularly on Mon
day, because of the intervening Sun
day following the date upon which
the June installment was due.
Figures still indicated a surplus
OF approximately 5000 coo, 900 unless
heavy expenditures are made before
June 80 for farm relief or other
| unusual items.
