In transmitting to Congress December 3, 1923, the Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, I recom­
mended that taxes be reduced. This recommendation was warranted by the statement of our finances as presented
to Congress in that Budget. It was there estimated that under the tax laws then in force the surplus of receipts over
expenditures would be $329,639,624 for the fiscal year 1924 and $395,681,634 for the fiscal year 1925. Taxes have
been reduced. The benefits to the people of this reduction went back to the commencement of the calendar year
January 1, 1923. The confidence of the Chief Executive and of the Congress that our revenues could be safely reduced
has been fully justified. The fiscal year which ended June 30, 1924, was closed with a surplus of receipts over expendi­
tures of $505,366,000. This was $175,727,000 in excess of the estimate made on December 3, 1923. Increase of
$117,367,000 in receipts and decrease of $58,360,000 in expenditures produced this unexpected additional surplus of
$175,727,000.
We have now completed five months of the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 1925. This affords an index
of the probable reduction in our revenues under the current tax law. It also affords an index of the limits, within
which our expenditures can be kept under the continuing policy of economy. A revision of the estimate of receipts
and expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, indicates to-day that the receipts will be $3,601,968,297
and the expenditures $3,534,083,808. This forecasts a surplus of receipts over expenditures for the current fiscal year
of $67,884,489. This estimate is most significant. On the one hand, we anticipate receiving this year $400,000,000
less revenue than we had last year, due principally to the reduction in taxes. On the other hand, we must provide
$114,000,000 for the extraordinary increase in expenditures made necessary by the World War adjusted compensation
act. Yet we are confident that the year will be closed with a surplus of more than $67,000,000. Our aim should be
not only to conserve this prospective surplus but to add to it.
For the fiscal year 1926 it is estimated that the ordinary receipts will be $3,641,295,092 and the expenditures
$3,267,551,378. This indicates a surplus of $373,743,714. In addition to these receipts and expenditures it is esti­
mated that the postal receipts will be $647,410,000 and the expenditures chargeable thereto $637,376,005. This
forecasts a surplus in postal revenue of $10,033,995, which amount is included in the estimated general surplus of
$373,743,714.
We come now to the estimates of appropriations contained in this Budget. The Chief Executive is pledged to
economy in the requests he makes upon Congress for funds for the executive branch of the Government. This pledge
is kept in these estimates of appropriations. They call for a total of $3,092,143,841.48, exclusive of the Postal Service.
A fair comparison of the estimates of appropriations for 1926 with the appropriations actually made for 1925 should
include the supplemental estimates for 1925 which were presented to Congress for consideration in the second deficiency
bill, fiscal year 1924, and the bill to adjust compensation of employees in certain of the field services. These two
bills failed of enactment before the adjournment of Congress June 7, 1924. In the following table a comparison

For the national defense the estimates amount to $549,000,000, which is $29,000,000 less than the amount
available this current fiscal year. These figures do not include nomnilitary items of the War and Navy Departments.
This reduction is made in accordance with my belief that we can have adequate national defense with a more modest
outlay of the taxpayers7 money. Further study may point the way to additional reduction without weakening our
national defense, but rather perfecting it. This nation is at peace with the world. We no longer have international
competition in naval construction of major units. We are concerned primarily with maintaining adequate pre­
paredness. We should have adequate preparedness in 1926 within the limits of the amount recommended.
Aside from the important factor of training personnel oxir national defense is largely an industrial problem.
To~day the outstanding weakness in the industrial situation as it kffects national defense is the inadequacy of facilities
to supply air service needs. The airplane industry in this country at the present time is dependent almost entirely
upon Government business. To strengthen this industry is to strengthen our national defense. For the air service
of the Army and Navy, and the Air Mail Service, the estimates, including contract authorizations, amount to
$38,945,000. This contemplates an expenditure with the industries of $18,287,000 for the procurement of airplanes,
engines, and accessories. The remaining $20,658,000 is for maintenance, operation, experimentation and research.



MESSAGE TRANSMITTING THE BUDGET

vn

The amount of $38,945,000, however, does not include all that will be available for this service in 1926. Amounts
contributing to the air service carried in other estimates, and usable war supplies, will make a total availability con­
servatively estimated at $65,000,000.
The amount requested for national defense includes $50,118,000 for the Army and Navy Reserves, National
Guard, Citizens’ Military Training Camps, and other civilian training activities.
There is also included in the national defense estimates $7,444,000 for increase of the Navy. This will provide
for continuing work on the fleet submarines under construction and for beginning work on two of the four remaining
fleet submarines authorized in the 1916 program. With regard to the Navy estimates, legislation is now pending
which provides for additional vessels, including gunboats for use on the Yangtze River. Further estimates for in­
crease in the Navy are dependent upon the enactment of this legislation. It will also be necessary to request of
Congress legislation increasing the authorized cost of the two airplane carriers now under construction. If this be
granted it will require funds for the next fiscal year not provided in the estimates contained in this Budget.
For rivers and harbors $56,237,600 is recommended. In this is included $40,000,000 for maintenance and im­
provement of existing river and harbor works, $10,500,000 for flood control on the Mississippi and Sacramento Rivers,
and $5,437,600 for the operation and maintenance of canals and the removal of wrecks and other obstructions. Of
the $40,000,000 for maintenance and improvement of rivers and harbors, $21,973,915 is for new work and $17,241,575
is for maintenance. This will make possible material progress on the most important projects approved by Congress.
It is estimated that $6,541,590 will be needed to complete Dam No. 2 at Muscle Shoals. Of this amount,
$3,501,200 will be required this year. This will be covered by a supplemental estimate for 1925. The balance—
$3,040,390—is provided for in these estimates.
There is included in these estimates $50,000,000 to be set aside in the adjusted service certificate fund established
under the World War adjusted compensation act of May 19, 1924. This is for the second payment to the fund to
be made January 1, 1926. For the first payment, due January 1, 1925, $100,000,000 is included in the deficiency bill
now under consideration by Congress. The applications from veterans so far have been below the estimated number
which the records indicate as entitled to the benefits of the act. If the two appropriations recommended be made,
it is estimated there will be a sufficient amount in the fund on January 1, 1926, to meet the demands of the act.
Should the number of applications increase beyond what present experience indicates as probable, there will be ample
time to submit a supplemental estimate for the additional amount necessary before that date.
The estimates for salaries of civilian employees in the District of Columbia are in accordance with the provisions
of the classification act approved March 4, 1923. For the field services the estimates for salaries are based on rates
comparable with those for departmental employees in the District of Columbia.
For Federal aid to States the estimates provide in excess of $109,000,000. These subsidies are prescribed by law*
I am convinced that the broadening of this field of activity is detrimental both to Federal and State Governments.
Efficiency of Federal operations is impaired as their scope is unduly enlarged. Efficiency of State governments is
impaired as they relinquish and turn over to the Federal Government responsibilities which are rightfully theirs.
I am opposed to any expansion of these subsidies. My conviction is they can be curtailed with benefit to both the
Federal and State Governments.
For reclamation purposes I am recommending $9,777,257 for 1926. It is highly desirable that the Congress, as
a basis for this and other future reclamation expenditures, enact the legislation embodying new reclamation policies
proposed in II. R. 9611, Sixty-eighth Congress, first session.
The gross public debt was reduced $1,098,894,375 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, and stood at
$21,250,812,989 on the latter date. This reduction was accomplished through (1) the application*of the sinking fund
and other public debt retirements required to be made from ordinary receipts, aggregating $457,999,750; (2) a reduction
in the general fund balance of $135,527,639; and (3) the use of the entire surplus of $505,366,986. The annual
interest charges on the debt represented by this reduction are equivalent to over $45,000,000.
The total reduction in the debt since the high point of $26,594,000,000 on August 31, 1919, amounted to $5,343,000,000 at the close of the last fiscal year. This total reduction has effected a saving in interest amounting to approxi­
mately $225,000,000 annually, a saving which equals nearly one-third of the total annual pre-war expenditures of the
Government.
The fixed-debt charges are included in the regular Budget of the Government under a definite plan worked out
soon after the close of the war for the gradual retirement of the public debt, and must be met before the Budget can
balance. The most important of these fixed-debt charges is the cumulative sinking fund provided in the Victory
Liberty Loan act. Retirements through this fund during the past fiscal year were about $296,000,000. The next
items in size among the fixed-debt charges are the retirements of securities received from foreign governments under
debt settlements and the purchases and retirements of securities from foreign repayments. These continuing reductions
of the public debt have a very material effect in maintaining high prices for Liberty bonds. They permit the issuance
of new Government securities for temporary and for refunding purposes at low interest rates, with consequent further

economy in Government expenditures. Interest paid in the fiscal year 1924 amounted to $940,000,000. It is estimated
that this item will be $865,000,000 in 1925 and $830,000,000 in 1926. This saving of $110,000,000 in two years is the
result of the reduction in the amount of the debt and decrease in the average rate of interest paid. The sinking fund
is a part of the contract between the United States and the holder of the United States obligation, and, therefore, can
not in good faith be changed. The continual steady effect of these debt-reducing factors is to cut down the largest
single item of government expenditure, and permit further reductions in the burden of taxation.
In my message transmitting the Budget for the fiscal year 1925 I recommended the enactment of legislation
which would authorize a reasonable progressive building program to meet the needs of the executive departments and
establishments of the Government in the District of Columbia. The situation is yearly becoming more acute even
with full utilization of all Government-owned buildings, including the temporary buildings erected during the period
of the late emergency. We are now spending something more than $670,000 per year for rental of buildings or parts
of buildings in the District of Columbia. The present crowded condition is detrimental to efficiency. The fire
hazard in the temporary buildings is great. An expenditure of $5,000,000 annually for a period of years would enable
the present situation to be gradually relieved. A larger yearly expenditure would shorten the period during which
full relief could be attained. During the last session of Congress a bill was introduced authorizing a yearly appropria­
tion of not exceeding $10,000,000 for a progressive building program in the District of Columbia. This bill has my
indorsement. I earnestly recommend its enactment by Congress.
I have recently appointed a commission to investigate agricultural conditions. The purpose of this was to
determine what action, through legislation or otherwise, should be taken to place agriculture on a basis of economic
equality with other industries. The findings and recommendations of the commission are for the use of the Congress.
I mention this commission here for the reason that I will shortly submit to the Congress an estimate of appropriation
to meet the expenses of the commission.
We are now in the fourth year of our campaign for reduction in the cost of Government. Our aim is to reduce the
burden of taxes. In this we have been successful. For those things which we are now required to do we are fast
reducing our expenditures to a minimum consistent with efficient service. We have before us an estimated surplus
of $67,000,000 for the current fiscal year and $373,000,000 for the next fiscal year. Shall we embark upon new projects
involving expenditures which will prevent the accumulation of these expected surpluses, or shall we continue the cam­
paign for economy ? I am for economy. If we continue the campaign for economy we will pave the way for further
reduction in taxes. This reduction can not be effected immediately. Before it is undertaken we should know more
definitely by actual operation what our revenues will be under our present tax law. But the knowledge of our revenue
under the existing law will avail us nothing if we embark upon any new Urge expenditure program.

DESCRIPTION OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS
IN TRO DU C TION

A classification by governmental functions has for its purpose to set forth the general end or purposes accom­
plished by the expenditures made by the several organization units of the Government. Each function of govern­
ment represents a service rendered directly to the people or else a service performed as a means of promoting,
protecting, regulating, or administering services directly rendered.
The classification set forth on Statements Nos. 8 and 9 presents, first, the general functions of the Government.
These correspond closely to the main organs of government established by the Constitution. The general functions
have been divided into the following:
1. Legislative,
2. Judicial,
3. Executive, and
4. General administration.
The activities and duties of each of these deal with matters in all other functional fieldsOf the specific functions, it is important in the case of the National Government to segregate clearly the expendi­
tures for military and distinctly war purposes from expenditures for civil services. Therefore a segregation is
made of the specific functions into the following classes:
1. Military functions.
2. Civil functions.
3. Nonfunctional expenditures.
The military functions represent those activities conducted for military and war purposes and include those
activities of special war agencies and expenditures made by civil services arising from war conditions. These were
of special importance during the recent World War and some of them are likely to continue for an indefinite period.
The civu functions include those functions of government which have to do with the promotion of friendly
relations with foreign powers; those which have to do with the conservation of social order and property; those
which have to do with the conservation of natural resources and economic interests of the people; those activities
which relate to the promotion and protection of health, the care and education of Indians, and the promotion of
public education, educational research, and science.
The nonfunctional expenditures include certain important expenditures which are of a nonorganizational char­
acter. These are for the most part expenditures arising out of war, such as interest on and redemption of public
debt, investments, refunds, and disbursement of trust funds.
The “ refunds” and “ investments” are segregated from other departmental expenditures because the former
represents the repayment or refund of the whole or part of an amount previously received in payment of indebtedness
to the United States, and the latter represents expenditures made in the purchase of note3 , oonds, and other choses
in action, and loans to foreign Governments, railroads, and the like, winch are not expenses of operation but the
conversion of cash into other assets.

DESCRIPTION OF BUDGET STATEMENTS
The Budget statements given herein supply data regarding the income and outgo of the Government, actual
and prospective, during the last completed fiscal year, the year in progress, and the ensuing fiscal year. They also
give financial data showing (1) the financial condition of the Treasury at the end of the last completed fiscal year
(balance sheets), (2) the means by which such condition was reached (operating statements), and (3) the publicdebt transactions and the condition at the close of business June 30, 1924.
Statement No. 1 is the master or key statement of the Budget. This statement, it will be seen, shows not
merely the balance in the general fund at the end of the two last completed years, the estimated surplus that will
exist at the end of the year in progress, and the estimated balance at the end of the ensuing fiscal year if the financial
Toposals contained in the Budget are adopted, but the means by which this balance has bSen and will be reached,
t shows, in a word, the revenues and expenditures of the Government, past and prospective, for these years and
exhibits the effect of these amounts in increasing or decreasing the available balance of the general fund.
In considering the showing, past and prospective, it should be noted that payments in respect to the reduction
of the public debt figure among the general fund expenditures of the Government. The total amount of debt re­
demptions included among the general-fund expenditures during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, amounted
to $1,098,894,375.87, of which $457,999,750 was required by existing law to be made from ordinary revenue, and
the remainder, $640,894,625.87 represents the amount of general fund applied to the redemption of debt in addition
to that now required by law to be made from ordinary receipts.
The estimated surplus of $67,884,489 for the fiscal year 1925 is reached after deducting the sum of $471,806,401
for the reduction of public debt now required by existing law to be made from ordinary receipts. Taking this item into
account, it shows that the ordinary revenue exceeds all other estimated ordinary expenditures by $539,690,890, or
an estimated improvement in the financial condition of the Government of this amount for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1925.
The estimated surplus of receipts of $373,743,714 for the fiscal year 1926 has been decreased by the inclusion
of $484,766,130 for debt redemptions out of ordinary receipts. Adding these redemptions to the estimated surplus
of receipts reported in Statement No. 1 indicates an improvement of the financial condition of the Government of
$858,509,844 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926.
A feature of especial interest in this table is the manner in which expenditures have been classified with a view
to bringing out the general purposes for which they have been or are to be made. They are thus first classified under
four main heads: (1) Ordinary expenditures, (2) Reduction in principal of public debt payable from ordinary re­
ceipts, (3) Investment of trust funds, and (4) Interest on the public debt. The ordinary expenditures have been
further subdivided to show (a) the general expenditures, by organization units; (6) the operations in special accounts;
and (c) the capital outlays for rights and obligations—that is, the purchase of stock oi Federal intermediate credit
banks and loans to railroads*
Statement No. 2 supports Statement No. 1 and supplies the details of the expenditures made for 1924, compared
with the estimates for 1925, and the proposals for 1926, by main branches or administrative divisions of the Gov­
ernment.
Statement No. 3 is a detailed statement showing the' agencies collecting Government revenue. It supplies the
actual revenue items collected in 1924 and estimates of the revenue items to be collected by the several departments
and other organization units during the fiscal years 1925 and 1926.
In Statement No. 4, the expenditures are classified according to character rather than by organization units, as is
done in Statements 1 and 2. It will thus be noted that a distinction is made between those expenditures which are for
the current operations of the Government, those that are of a nonadministrative character, those for construction work,
including national-defense structures, and other expenditures. The importance of the distinctions here made may be
seen from the fact that though the expenditure program for 1926 calls for a total expenditure of $3,267,551,378, only
$878,910,265 is for the current operations of the Government. The latter sum, it will be seen, is $61,705,515 less than
the corresponding item for the year in progress, 1925, and $29,801,636 less than for 1924. Nonadministrative expenses,
including such items as interest on the public debt, pensions, etc., call for the expenditure of no less than $1,498,453,827
in 1926.
Statement No. 5 also supports Statement No. 1 and supplies details of the sources of revenue of the Government.
It sets out in detail the sources from which the income o f the Government was derived in 1924 and is expected to
be derived in 1925 and 1926.
Statement No. 6 has to do with the operations of the Post Office Department and Postal Service, payable from postal
revenues. Beginning with the fiscal year 1923, the departmental expenditures of the Post Office Department at Wash­
ington are also financed from the postal receipts.
This statement shows the results of the operations, which for 1924 and 1925 show a deficit, and for 1926 a surplus;
and gives*in detail the expenditures made and to be made out of the postal revenues. The deficiency or surplus in
postfl revenues, it will be noted, is carried in Statement No. 1 and represents the amount of money which will need
to be advanced from the general fund to meet the program recommended in the Budget for the postal establishment if
a deficiency, or the amount of money which will be paid oyer to the general fund ifa surplus.

THE BUDGET, 1£>26

Statement No. 7 summarizes the estimates of appropriations by governmental functions for the fiscal year 1926
and the appropriations made for the fiscal year 1925. This statement sets forth the general end or purposes to be
accomplished by the expenditure of the appropriations recommended, compared with the appropriations which have
already been made for the fiscal year 1925. The classification given on this statement presents first the general
functions of the Government. This corresponds closely to the main organs of the Government established Toy the
Constitution. The general functions have been divided into (a) legislative, (b) judicial; (c) executive, and (d) general
administration.
The specific functions are segregated to distinguish the expenditures for military and distinctly war purposes
from expenditures for civil services; therefore, the segregation made in this statement divides the specific functions
into (a) military functions, (£>) civil functions, and (c) nonfunctional operations. This statement not only gives
the amount of money recommended for appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, compared with the
actual appropriations already made by Congress for the fiscal year 1925, but it also shows the percentages of the
amounts allocated to the different purposes.
This statement will bo found interesting and informative, showing as it does the approximate amounts devoted
to important Government activities and interests.
It will be found that a total of $116,286,587.80 is carried for general functions, which include the legislative,
judicial, executive, and tfie general administrative operations of the Government which can not be allocated to specific
civil functions.
The sum of $1,162,480,229 is provided for military functions, which includes military pensions, retirement pay,
annuities, and World War allowances, and national defense.
The amount recommended for national defense is divided into two classes: Army, $253,330,598; Navy, $282,158,604.
The amount provided in the Budget for military pensions and allowances includes $197,000,000 for pensions,
$307,700,000 for World War allowances, and $22,065,807 for retirement pay.
The amount recommended for civil functions totals $441,021,838.68. Under this general function $15,801,652.22
is allowed for foreign relations and protection of American interests abroad; $22,873,170 for general law enforcement,
which includes activities having to do with the enforcement of general laws and the administration and enforcement
of special acts like the national prohibition act, the narcotic act, and the investigation and prosecution of war con­
tract frauds; $6,765,653 for the control of currency and banking; $13,427,027.67 for the administration of Indian
affairs; $21,681,849 for the administration of public domain, wliich includes those activities of the Government
having to do with the care and utilization of public lands and the care and utilization of national forests; $13,490,517
for the promotion and regulation of commerce and industry, wiiich includes the activities of the Tariff Commission,

for local government, including the District of Columbia; and $158,050 for civil relief.
For public works, under civil functions, $160,180,702.50 is carried, which includes $53,840,390 for rivers and
harbors proper and items of similar character; $81,000,000 for roads; $8,735,366 for Panama Canal; $9,777,257.50
for Reclamation Service; $2,000,000 for railroads in Alaska; and $4,829,689 for other public improvements and

$830,000,000 Tor interest on the public debt; and $24,501,056 for disbursement of trust funds.
Statement No. 8 summarizes the estimates of appropriations by character and objects of expenditures for the
fiscal year 1926 and the appropriations made for the fiscal year 1925. It makes a distinction between those appro­
priations already made and herein recommended for (a) current expenses, (b) fixed charges, (c) acquisition of prop­
erty, (d) payment of debt, and (e) capital outlays for rights and obligations.
Statement No. 9 gives similar data to that presented by Statement No. 8. It is a summary of expenditures
classified by governmental functions for the fiscal year 1926 compared with prior years. It compares the expend­
itures of the Government by functions from 1915 to 1926, inclusive. It not only gives the amount of money spent
but that which it is estimated will be spent during the current fiscal year and tne ensuing fiscal year. It also fur­
nishes the percentages allocated to the different functions of the Government. The expenditures given for all years,
except for the fiscal years 1925 and 1926, are on the basis of warrants issued and charged to appropriation accounts—
that is, warrants issued authorizing withdrawal of cash from the Treasury as reported by the Secretary of the Treasury
in the “ Combined statement of receipts and disbursements, balances, etc., of the United States, brought to the
actual cash expenditure by an adjustment figure.
v
Statement No. 10 gives the appropriations recommended and appropriations made by Congress during the
fiscal year 1925, compared with the fiscal year 1924, classified by organization units, including those appropriations
made by Congress for which no estimates were submitted by the Chief Executive.
Statement No. 11 summarizes the estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year 1926 and appropriations for
1925. It shows the amounts and percentages applied to current operations of the Government by Government
department and offices.
Statement No. 12 gives the amount of annual, permanent, or other appropriations, including balances of appro­
priations for prior fiscal years, available for expenditure during the fiscal year in progress, 1925, as of November 1,
1924. This statement shows the total amount available for expenditure during the fiscal year 1925.

the

BUDGET, 1926

The reductions and increases involved in this net reduction of $79,257,898 are;
A reduction from $48,015,000 to $45,500,000 for salaries and expenses, including reductions in major items;
from $45,529,259 to $42,656,316 for salaries; from $523,004 to $176,190 for stationery and office supplies; from
$164,966 to $127,880 for telegraph and telephone service; from $1,724,195 to $1,113,936 for travel expenses of em­
ployees; from $124,940 to $58,025 for heat, light, power, and electricity, and from $1,370,327 to $969,441 for rents.
A reduction from $275,000 to $200,000 for printing and binding, occasioned by reduced requirements for these
purposes.
A reduction from $161,717,794 ($83,000,000 direct appropriation or 1925, plus unexpended balances of
$78,717,749 from prior years) to $127,000,000 for military and naval compensation. The appropriation act for 1925
provides that balances of prior years appropriations for this purpose shall cease to be available for expenditure after
June 30, 1925, hence the appropriation for 1926 should be the total amount required for that year. The amount
expended for compensation in 1924 was $115,400,572.80. It is estimated that the increased compensation rates
authorized in the World War veterans * act, 1924, will increase the requirements for 1926 by approximately
$12,000,000.
A reduction from $42,000,000 to $35,000,000 for medical and hospital services, involving reductions from
$12,291,790 to $9,190,000 on account of reduced requirements for supplies and materials; from $3,325,000 to
$2,707,190 for travel expenses; from $4,075,780 to $1,792,300 for equipment; and from $16,253,920 to $13,583,240
for special and miscellaneous payments in which are included hospitalization of patients in contract and other hos­
pitals not operated by the Veterans’ Bureau. The transfer of patients from these hospitals to new Veterans' Bureau
hospitals reduces the amount necessary in this item. These reductions, however, will be partially offset by the cost
of operating, for the full fiscal year 1926, five new hospitals to be opened in the fiscal year 1925 and, for part of the
fiscal year 1926, five new" hospitals to be opened in that year.
A reduction from $89,000,000 to $38,000,000 for vocational rehabilitation. The 1925 estimate was based upon
a monthly average of 52,984 trainees. The monthly average number of trainees for the fiscal year 1926 estimated
by the Veterans Bureau is 21,535, entailing estimated reduced expenditures for major items of $45,468,523 for
allowances, $3,698,376 for tuition, $854,626 for scientific and educational supplies and equipment, and of $349,444
for the complete elimination of rents.
A reduction from $127,817,898 to $62,000,000 for World War adjusted compensation. An estimate of
$127,817,898 for the fiscal year 1925, to continue available until expended, was submitted for consideration in con­
nection with the second deficiency bill for 1924. This amount was based upon the estimated number of applications
that would be submitted under the provisions of the adjusted compensation act. It appears at this time that the
number of applicants will be considerably less than originally estimated, and $62,000,000 is included in the 1926
Budget to provide, together with the 1925 unexpended balance, for estimated 1926 requirements.
A reduction of $6,850,000 for the construction of additional hospital facilities, which was submitted as a supple­
mental estimate for consideration in connection with the second deficiency bill but for which no amount is included
in the Budget estimate for 1926.
An increase from $88,000,000 to $98,000,000 for military and naval insurance. Premium payments revert to
this appropriation and are available for disbursement until expended in settlement of insurance claims. At the
close of the fiscal year 1924 an unexpended balance of $10,253,237 continued available for 1925. It is estimated
the balance at the close of 1925 continuing available in 1926 will be $2,250,000. Premium collections in 1926 are
estimated at $9,000,000.

Net increase.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

62, 045, 564

This net increase of $62,045,564 is due primarily to an increase from $13,000,000 to $80,000,000 for the con­
struction of rural post roads. When the Budget for 1925 was submitted it was estimated that the unexpended
balances from prior years at the close of the fiscal year 1924 would be $80,000,000, and as the expenditures for 1925
were estimated at $93,000,000, an estimate of appropriation for $13,000,000 for 1925 was submitted. It is now
estimated that unexpended balances at the close of the fiscal year 1925 will be $4,000,000, and as expenditures for
1926 are estimated at $84,000,000 an estimate of appropriation for $80,000,000 is included in the Budget for 1926.
The net increase includes the following new items: $400,000 for upper Mississippi River wild life and fish refuge
(act approved June 7, 1924), $50,000 for cooperative farm forestry (reforestation act approved June 7, 1924), and
$50,000 for cooperative distribution of forest planting stock (reforestation act approved June 7, 1924). The net
increase also includes increases from $401,900 to $660,000 for cooperative fire protection (reforestation act approved
June 7, 1924); from $2,893,923 to $2,977,973 for administration and protection of national forests; from $241,070
to $280,000 for suppressing the spread of the Japanese beetle; from $326,000 to $348,225 for animal husbandry inves­
tigations; from $818,540 to $1,000,000 for acquisition of additional forest lands; and reductions from $6,000,000 to
$3,750,000 for forest roads and highways; from $387,510 to $286,140 for eradication of the pink boll wTorm of cotton;
from $8,416,705 to $8,328,540 for salaries in the Department of Agriculture; from $2,427,600 to $2,375,000 for tuber­
culosis indemnities; from $717,074 to $699,451 for eradicating cattle ticks; from $448,413 to $431,363 for eradicating
hog cholera; from $411,315 to $375,000 for barberry eradication; from $25,000 to $5,000 for the National Forest
Reservation Commission; from $276,760 to $261,586 for farm management and farm practice; and a reduction of
$3,500,000 for the eradication of the foot-and-mouth disease which was submitted as an emergency supplemental
estimate for 1925 but was not included in the estimates for 1926.

The amount estimated for the Navy will provide for the present enlisted strength of 86,000 men; will maintain
approximately the same number of ships in commission as for the fiscal year 1925; will increase the average steaming
distance of battleships from 19,400 miles (latest estimate for 1925) to 23,700 miles, while the other classes of combatant
ships are expected to cover about the same mileage as now estimated for 1925; will provide for the Naval Reserve
Force on practically the same basis as for 1925; contemplates a reduction in the enlisted strength of the Marine
Corps from 19,500 to IS,000 men; will provide for continuing work at a normal rate of speed on all new ships under
construction within the limitation of authorized cost; will provide for laying down two of the remaining five fleet

of classified departmental employees within the District of Columbia.
The net reduction of $23,423,279 includes reductions from $2,550,000 to $1,725,000 for ‘'Pay, miscellaneous,’ ’
due principally to the transfer of the subheads covering mileage and traveling expenses of officers and their dependents,
midshipmen, and female nurses to “ Transportation and recruiting” ; from $22,590,000 ($9,590,000 direct appropria­
tion and approximately $13,000,000 transferred from “ Provisions— Navy, 1924” ) to $19,800,000 for “ Provisions.
Navy, ’ ’due to the fact that expenditures for 1925 are estimated at $20,100,000 and a further reduction is estimated
for 1926 to be accomplished through administration; from $1,840,000 to $1,730,000 for “ Medical Department,” due
chiefly to estimated increase in reimbursement from the Veterans’ Bureau for hospitalization of war beneficiaries;

1 In addition, a total of $1,492,755.46 of the unexpended balances from prior years was reappropriated for expenditures in 1925.
2 In addition, recommendation is made for the reappropriation of an unexpended balance from prior appropriation of $203,255.95,
and for contract authorization of $2,150,000.

The amount estimated for the maintenance and operation of the Regular Army will provide for a force of 12,000
officers and an average enlisted strength throughout the year of approximately 118,000 exclusive of the Philippine
Scouts, it will also provide for the training of 14,650 reserve officers and 770 reserve enlisted men for a period of
15 days, the same as for the current fiscal year, and 352 reserve officers for a period of more than 15 days, as
against 615 officers during the current fiscal year; for the attendance of 29,000 men at citizens’ military training
camps as against 33.900 during the current year; for an average enrollment of 113,000 students in the Reserve Officers*
Training Corps units as against 119,000 during the current year; and will enable the Militia Bureau to maintain
an average strength throughout the year of 173,500 as against 177,000 estimated for the current year. In the cases
of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the citizens military training camps the total funds available for 1925
have been reduced in the Budget for 1926 bv only $13,820. The reduction in the number of students and trainees
is due to a less amount of free issues of supplies which will be available from surplus war stocks during 1926.




A81

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OF ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS

The Budget estimate also provides for essentials connected with the maintenance and operation of active military
posts, camps, and stations as now constituted. Pending action by Congress upon the call made on the War Depart­
ment in the act of June 7, 1924, for “ a comprehensive plan for necessary permanent construction at military
posts * * * based on using funds received from the sale of surplus War Department real estate, and for the
sale of such property now owned by the War Department as, in the opinion of the Secretary of War, is no longer
needed for military purposes/7 no estimates for new construction at military posts have been included in the Budget.
Provision is made for necessary Army transportation, including the operation of the Army Transport Service;
for the purchase of 2,059 horses for the Army to replace others incapacitated by old age; for the expenditure of
SI75,000 for the procurement of new automobiles toward the replacement of worn-out machines; for the proper
upkeep of existing fortifications and accessories, and for the carrying forward of the general plan for the protection
of the Panama Canal and the Hawaiian Islands.
For the Air Service $17,061,191 is estimated, $14,911,191 being for direct appropriation and $2,150,000 for
obligation by contract, as against a total of $14,476,619 available for the current year. This will enable the Air
Service to make reasonable progress toward cutting down its present shortage in heavier-than-air craft and at the
same time assist in keeping alive the aircraft industry for use in time of emergency. In this estimate provision is
made for initiating the removal of the Air Service activities from inadequate rented facilities at McCook Field, Dayton,
Ohio, to a more suitable site in the same vicinity donated to the Government by private individuals.
For the United States Military Academy provision is made for essentials connected with its maintenance and
operation and, in addition, $350,000 is provided toward the construction of a new cadet mess hall, dormitory, cadet
store, and drawing academy.
Funds recommended will care for the various nonmilitarv activities of the War Department, such as national
cemeteries, national military parks, national monuments and memorials, the Alaskan cable system, and the con­
struction and maintenance of roads, bridges, and trails in Alaska.
For rivers and harbors $40,000,000 is estimated for maintenance and improvement of existing river and harbor
works, in addition to $5,437,600 which will be available from permanent specific and indefinite appropriations; for
flood control on the Mississippi and Sacramento Ravel's $10,000,000 and $500,000, respectively, are estimated; the
total provided for all items of river and harbor improvement being $59,277,990 as compared with $59,971,621 for
the current year.
The estimate for completing the construction of Dam No. 2 at Muscle Shoals is $6,541,590, which covers con­
tract obligations heretofore authorized by Congress.
Of this sum $3,040,390 is carried in the Budget for 1926.
The estimate for the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers is $193,362 below the amount available
for 1925. This difference comprises net reductions made in eight different items of appropriation for the maintenance
and operation of the 10 homes and for aid to State homes. The item of subsistence for the homes is increased by
$137,340.
The amount estimated for the Panama Canal, $8,735,366, exceeds the appropriation for 1925, plus the amount
proposed for reclassification of field salaries, by $1,306,220. This increase is necessitated by reason of the nonavail­
ability in 1926 of funds from “ Savings77 and “ Depreciation reserve77 accounts of the Panama Canal. Besides the
normal operating expenses for maintaining and operating the canal, its sanitation, and civil government, the estimate
includes $710,000 for completing the new power plant at Mirafiores, $400,000 for improving the Gatun-Colon water
system, and $35,000 for improvement and repair of the Panama water supply system.

This net increase of $12,959,729 includes increases from $310,000,000 to $323,175,000 in the cumulative sinking
fund in conformity with the requirements of law that the appropriation shall be increased each fiscal year by the
amount of interest which would have been payable during that year on the debt redeemed through the operation of the
sinking fund during such year; from $23,045,000 to $24,056,800 for redemption of bonds received as payments of
principal of war loans by foreign governments as the result of refunding operations; and reductions from $6,000,000
to nothing for redemption of bonds and notes received in payment of estate taxes, due to the fact that the bonds which
it had been anticipated would be received for the purpose are now above par on the market and consequently are not
likely to be used m liquidation of estate taxes; and from $6,000,000 to $500,000 for obligations retired from Federal
reserve bank franchise tax receipts due to decreased earnings of the banks.

23, 730, 809. 75

The cost of the Postal Service increases from year to year coincident with the growth of the country, and in
general the increases in the Budget estimates are due to the larger volume of mail to be handled and the expansion
of postal activities.
The net increase of $23,730,809.75 includes increases from $975,000 to $1,150,000 for printing and binding; from
$46,000,000 to $46,600,000 for compensation of postmasters; from $124,937,100 to $130,000,000 for clerks and other
employees in first and second class post offices; from $5,759,150 to $6,200,000 for watchmen, messengers, and laborers;
from $14,416,600 to $15,175,000 for rent, light, and fuel; from $925,000 to $975,000 for miscellaneous items at first
and second class post offices; from $87,398,000 to $92,000,000 for city delivery carriers; from $4,400,000 to $4,650,000
for allowance for clerks at third-class post offices; from $980,000 to $1,050,000 for car fare and bicycle allowances;
from $6,100,000 to $7,600,000 for special delivery fees; from $104,450,000 to $113,000,000 for railroad transportation;
from $47,400,000 to $49,500,000 for salaries of railway mail employees; from $1,150,000 to $1,222,000 for miscel­
laneous expenses, Railway Mail Service; from $7,500,000 to $8,500,000 for foreign mail transportation; from $40,000
to $100,000 for indemnities on international mail; from $900,000 to $950,000 for stationery; from $1,303,500 to
$1,600,000 for post office equipment and supplies; and from $500,000 to $600,000 for labor saving devices; and reduc­
tions from $600,000 to $500,000 for transportation and delivery of equipment, material, and supplies; from $2,750,000
to $2,600,000 for airplane mail service between New York and San Francisco; from $2,775,000 to $2,675,000 for travel
allowances of railway postal clerks; from $8,100,000 to $8,000,000 for manufacture of postage stamps, postal cards
and stamped envelopes; from $4,500,000 to $4,000,000 for indemnities, domestic mail; from $518,500 to $470,000
for twine and tying devices; from $1,960,000 to $1,800,000 for manufacture of mail bags and equipment; from
$12,900,000 to $12,800,000 for star routes, and from $89,250,000 to $88,200,000 for rural delivery service.
As against the increase in Budget, estimates for 1926 of $23,730,809.75 it is now apparent that certain items of
appropriation for 1925 will be insufficient for the needs of the service for that year, and that estimates for supple­
mental appropriations aggregating over $8,500,000 will hereafter be presented. I i these are approved and transmitted
to Congress, the increase in the Budget estimates for 1926 over the appropriation for 1925 will be reduced to approxi­
mately $15,230,000.
The revenues of the Postal Service for the fiscal year 1926 have been estimated conservatively at $647,410,000.
The Budget estimates for that year contemplate expenditures of $637,376,005. On this basis there should be a postal
surplus in 1926 of $10,033,995.
