FIGURES MIsLEAD. SOMETIMES

Figures are often misleading If they
are not explained. and a case in point j.
this: the total expenditures Of the county
commission in the fiscal year that ended
september 80. 1914. were S2s.ls5.4O more
than the total receipts.
Were those figures not explained. our
first cry would be. "Extravagant!" But
when We are informed that the county has
physical assets 10 show for the excess in
expenditures. with more than $4,000 In adj
dition. then We realize that the comparison
Is robbed Of its shocking qualities.
Many a business man spends more in
year. ca occasion. than his receipts. yet
he does not operate st a loss because he
has stock to offset part Of the expenditures
The commission. for instance. bought
~ voting machines that cost $50. 1866: built
concrete annex 60 the courthouse that
cost Sl0.652.f5. and purchased a phOtostat
machine for sl.9O6.2S. making a total Of
SD. 226.73. all valuable assets. and. were
their cost deducted. the expenditures would
have been S5.O4l-33 less than the receipts
All Of us have heard the familiar say
ing. Figures don't lie. but figures do mis-
lead if they are not properly analysed
What have they got 10 show for it,"
IS a question We hear frequently about gov
efnmenial expenditures. and JUST "a fire.
quently there il little 10 show for il.
Occasionally. there is an exception. as
IS that Of the excess expenditures by the
county commission during the last fiscal
year. One Of the purchases. the voting
machines. assures u honest elections.

Mr.. Truman wrote that he pre-
viously had recommended a reduc-
ton of $19, Ills 900 in the funds avail
able to the FWA for ALLEGATION to
community needs. In this reduction
was included funds for operation OF
the child care .centers.
However, Mf. Truman added, he
also had asked the FWA to request
Congress to pass legislation provid-
ing Federal assistance for care OF
the children of servicemen's wives
or widows. The FWA centers are
open to children Of servicemep OF
war workers"

crate the centers through June SC

trast at an early meeting, she said
