WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-Spokes-
men of the American Legion have
dug out the information that the
relative cost of veteran aid has
been much higher in the past than
1t is now.
Veterans costs are running 70
to 25 per cent of total government
expenses.
Thirty years ago pension costs
reached 40 per cent of the federal
budget. Throughout the gay COS
they ran more than 30 per cent.
Due to the concentrated fire of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce and the National Econ
omy league, the impression has
been created that the veterans
bureau expenses have shot up out
OF all proportion.
Actually, analysis of figures show
tnat the whole government Struc-
ture has been honeycombed with
airpockets from the White House
out to the hills of South Dakota
where the federal government is
paying men to carve some pictures
On the side OF gigantic rock
That expense was loaded on the
nations taxpayers by the combined
efforts of a senator and sculptor
with an eye to business.
The Legion figures of past pen
sion expense give the peak as 1893
Pensions that year ate up Al pei
cent of the federal budget. Ir
1890 they accounted for 33 pei
cent. In 1898 they were down to
80 per cent. Then as the imme-
diate Spanish war cost ran up the
general expenditures, pensions
dropped to % per cent sliding slow
ly down to % per cent in 1908, ac-

Closely Matched Teams
 Play Hard-Fought x 2 Game at Nat

The Skagway Basketball team last night in the Douglas Nata- torium vanquished the Douglas High School boys to the tune of 30-28. .
 The score indicates the extreme closeness of the battle as at no time was the result certain, all though the Skagway boys led at the half l9-lo, the fighting Island CTS almost plucked a victory in the final minutes of play However, the boys from Lynn Canal were capable of holding them off and bringing the. ball back to an of fensive position.
 Fox played brilliant ball for his schoolmates and at all periods of the game was the inspiration for his squad. Fox was playing the last game of his high school car ger and he surely did his best to bring D. H. s. to victory, making IT of the 28 points registered by his team.
 Played Steady Ball
 Skagway squad played steady ball throughout the game. Far well was their high point man with eleven points.
 Considering the fact that the Is- flanders basketball season was over several weeks ago, the local boys made an extremely creditable showing against the. boys from Skagway.
 MT. Regele coach of the Skag- way team, gave Douglas much credit, stating: The Skagway team certainly gives the Douglas team due credit for their great fight, For any team to come from a 19- 10 score at half time to tie the score of 24 all means that they played great ball. Only in the last minutes was Skagway sure of a victory
 Final Points
 With the score 27-27, Fox fouled Blanchard who converted Blan- chard, on a nice pass, worked the ball through for a cinch shot from lsft side With only seconds to go Johnson received the tip-off
