Actual, 1925
The Budget for the fiscal year 1926, transmitted to the Congress December 1, 1924, indicated that for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1925, there would be a surplus of receipts over expenditures of $67,884,489. The actual surplus
was $250,505,238. This gratifying difference between estimates and actual results was due mainly to unexpected
increases in receipts, though a reduction in expenditures helped to swell the total.
In that Budget it was estimated that receipts for the current fiscal year, 1926, would amount to $3,641,295,092
and expenditures $3,267,551,378, forecasting a surplus of receipts over expenditures of $373,743,714. This estimate,
which was made one year ago, has materially changed. On the receipt side of the ledger the operations of the first
five months of this fiscal year indicate that we will receive $3,880,716,000, or approximately $239,420,000 more than
was estimated a year ago. There is an estimated increase of $143,125,000 alone in our internal revenue, which in
dicates plainly the stimulating influence on business of the last tax reduction law. On the other side of the ledger the
expenditures estimated a year ago as $3,267,551,000 stand increased to-day to an estimated total of $3,618,675,000,
an increase of $351,124,000. The indications to-day are that the surplus for 1926 will amount to '$262,041,000.
It is appropriate here to mention the principal items which enter into this increase in estimated expenditures for
the current fiscal year, for which it will be necessary to submit supplemental estimates to the Congress. The Budget
for 1926 carried an estimate of $50,000,000 for the second payment to the adjusted service certificate fund established
under the World War adjusted compensation act of May 19, 1924. In submitting that estimate it was stated that
should the number of applications increase beyond what the then conditions indicated as being probable a supple
mental estimate for the additional amount found necessary would be presented. The indications to-day are that
there will be issued not less than 3,400,000 certificates of insurance at an average cost of $1,033 each. On this basis the
cost of the World War adjusted compensation act will reach $3,500,000,000. The law contemplates that the financial
obligation which it creates shall be equally distributed over a period of 20 years. To meet this obligation will require
a payment of $106,000,000 to the fund on January 1, 1926, in addition to the $50,000,000 already appropriated.
Subsequent payments to the fund will require approximately $140,000,000 annually.
To meet refundment of taxes illegally collected it was estimated that our expenditures for 1926 would amount to
$90,000,000. The indications to-day are that $151,000,000 will be required, a difference of $61,000,000. The funds on
hand July 1, 1925, amounted to $60,000,000, which are now practically exhausted. An additional amount of $91,000,000
will therefore be required to meet the refunds for the remainder of the current fiscal year.
For Federal aid to post roads, an additional amount of $23,000,000 will be required this fiscal year, and to meet the
estimated deficit in postal revenues $37,100,000 will be required. This latter requirement grows out of the postal pay
act which operated to change an estimated surplus of $10,000,000 in postal revenues over postal expenditures to the
deficit above stated.
The next item of importance is that of pensions, for which it is estimated an additional $8,000,000 will be required
this fiscal year.
The outlook for the coming fiscal year, 1927, is most favorable. For that year it is estimated that the ordinary
receipts will be $3,824,530,000 and expenditures $3,494,222,000. This indicates a surplus of $330,307,000.
The outlook for 1926 and 1927 shows clearly that the united effort of the executive and the legislative branches
of the Government for economy in Federal expenditure is bearing further fruit. In the last four fiscal years there
have been two substantial reductions in taxes. We have restored to the people a part of the moneys which we required
of them to finance the World War. We are now in that favorable position of making further restoration. The
Budget and Accounting A ct contemplates that under the fortunate conditions in which we now find ourselves the Chief
Executive will make recommendation to the Congress as to the disposition of the estimated surplus of revenue.
THE BUDGET, 192*7
VI
I therefore recommend to the Congress that there be a further reduction in taxes. The satisfaction of the Chief
Executive in having opportunity to make such a recommendation I know is shared by the Congress whose cooperation
with the Chief Executive in the conservation of public funds has made such reduction in taxes possible.
The Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives has been informed of our prospective surplus
for 1927. That committee has prepared a tax-reduction measure. While this measure somewhat exceeds my judg
ment in amount and in exemptions, yet with continuing pressure for economy in the Federal service and the stimula
tion to business which will result from tax reduction, perhaps we can make further reduction in taxes of about the
sum total of our prospective surplus for 1927 without jeopardizing the balancing of our annual Budget. Such reduc
tion, however, should carry an obligation not to embark upon new projects involving large annual expenditure if we
are to safeguard the integrity of our Budget.
The fruits of our labors are reflected in the coming tax reduction measure. It reflects the results of the efforts
of the servants of the people and of their representatives in behalf of the people. There have been no partisan politics
in expediting its preparation. I hope this same condition will prevail in the consideration of the measure.
This brings us to the estimates of appropriations contained in this Budget. These estimates reflect the con
tinuing pressure for economy in Federal expenditure. We have about reached the time when the legitimate business
of Government can not be carried on at a less expenditure than that which it now requires. With regard to our
legitimate business the operating costs have been reduced to nearly a minimum. The normal expansion of the busi
ness of the Government in keeping pace with a growing nation will involve added expenditure from year to year.
The effort for economy, however, must continue. So far as it lies within the power of the Chief Executive it will
continue.
In the following table a comparison is made of the appropriations for 1926 with the estimates for 1927.

The foregoing table indicates that the estimates of appropriations for 1927, payable from the Treasury, will
exceed by approximately $50,600,000 the amount of the appropriations for 1926. However, in making a compari
son we should take into consideration the lawful obligations for 1926 which have been determined since the appro
priations were made for that year. Taking these into consideration the estimates for 1927 are less than the appro
priations and lawful obligations for 1926.
For the air services the estimates carry a total of $42,447,000, being $16,793,000 for the Army, $22,391,000 for
the Navy, $2,750,000 for the air mail service of the Post Office Department, and $513,000 for the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics. These amounts include contract authorizations, but do not include funds provided in
other Budget items for the pay of commissioned Air Service officers, pay, housing, and general maintenance for the
enlisted Air Service personnel, and certain classes of supplies and services of a general character furnished for Air
Service activities. If we include these items, the total for the Air Service in 1927 will amount to not less than $76,000,000. The estimates for the air services for 1927 are in furtherance of the program which was commenced this
year. They propose procurement from the industries of airplanes, engines, and accessories to the amount of $20,954,000. The remaining $21,493,000 is for maintenance, operation, experimentation, and research. This Government
is pursuing an orderly policy toward building up its air services. We realize that our national defense air problem
is primarily an industrial problem. We also know that the airplane industry to-day is dependent almost entirely
upon Government business for its development and growth. We do not contemplate any competition between the
Government and industry in the production of airplanes. With the business already assured by the appropriations
for the current year, and with the further assurance of the business contemplated by these estimates, there should
be a normal and proper growth in this industry. If we continue this policy, there need be no fear of our national
defense situation in so far as air strength is concerned.
The estimates carry a total of $21,940,529 for prohibition enforcement. This includes $12,634,000 for the activi
ties of the Coast Guard in preventing rum smuggling. As an adjunct to prohibition enforcement, the Coast Guard has
proved most effective. Its activities should be enlarged and strengthened at the earliest date possible. To this end
I propose to recommend to the Congress additional appropriations for the Coast Guard for the remainder of this
fiscal year and for all of the next fiscal year. This contemplates enlargement of the Coast Guard fleet and personnel.
Provision is not made in this Budget for this additional equipment and personnel for 1927 for the reason that it should
be presented to the Congress as one program, involving as it does the current as well as the next fiscal year. It is also
proposed to recommend to the Congress that legislation be enacted which will authorize the construction of 10 new
Coast Guard cutters which will cost approximately $9,000,000. While the initial cost of these cutters is large, we will
effect an economy, as they will replace the destroyers now being used and which are expensive of operation. The
normal functions of the Coast Guard alone require these additional cutters so that their construction will serve a
twofold purpose. Every available resource of the,Government will be employed for prohibition enforcement. The
recommendations which I propose to make to the Congress are for the purpose of increasing this available force. Such
reinforcement is needed. It should be provided.
In furtherance of the policy of backing this salutary law with the full power of the Federal Government, funds
are carried in these estimates for strengthening that branch of the Department of Justice which is charged with the
prosecution of violators of its provisions.
Federal aid to States is annually requiring more than $109,000,000. The estimates for this purpose for 1927
amount to something in excess of $110,000,000. The principal item is for rural post roads, for which an appropria
tion is requested of $80,000,000. The law authorizing Federal aid to States for the construction of rural post roads
does not extend beyond the fiscal year 1927. The amount of $80,000,000 does not discharge our entire obligation
under existing law. In addition to this amount, the authorizations for which moneys have not yet been appropriated
amount to $116,700,000. Without further legislative action we therefore face an obligation of $116,700,000 over
and above the amount carried in this estimate.
The Federal Government has been generous in its participation in State road construction, having authorized
appropriations amounting to $690,000,000. Federal contribution to State highway construction was probably
necessary in the beginning. It has expedited and so coordinated construction that all expenditures would be reflected
in a definite and approved connecting highway system. On the other hand, there is no question but that Federal
contributions have materially added to State expenditures of State funds. I am speaking for what I consider the
best interest of the people. While Federal taxes have been reduced, State and other governmental taxes have been
steadily increasing. Federal aid to States has influenced this latter condition. We should keep in mind that the
moneys which we have contributed to the States are taken from the people who in turn also pay the moneys required
by thd States to finance their own portion of the cost. The entire cost falls upon the people. It is true that the
necessity and demand for good roads are constantly increasing, but they should not be constructed faster than the
taxpayers can afford to pay for them. The amount that taxpayers can afford to pay can best be determined by the
citizens of each State.
VIII
THE BUDGET, 1987
Since the inauguration of the present plan of Federal aid for road construction, the States have changed their
methods of financing their portion of the expenses. A large majority of the States now exact a gasoline tax, thereby
distributing the cost of road construction and maintenance to those who benefit by their use. The construction of
roads within a State is purely a State matter and ultimately should be financed by State funds. Without further
legislative enactment the States would carry on their construction to an amount which they can afford to spend on it.
But the National Government is committed to the policy of assisting in the building of good roads. Commitments
have been made both by the States and the Nation in this direction. It is necessary to continue them for the present.
I do, however, recommend for the consideration of the Congress that future legislation restrict .the Government’s
participation in State road construction to primary or interstate highways, leaving it to the States to finance their
secondary or intercounty highways. This would operate to diminish the amount of Federal contribution.
For reclamation projects I am recommending $6,437,000. In making appropriations this fiscal yeai for reclama
tion projects the Congress laid down certain restrictions on the use of the funds for new construction. These re
strictions contemplated that the Government would have assurance of the paying ability of the projects before funds
were expended on them. I am in full accord with this policy. Its continuance is recommended in the estimates
appearing in this Budget.
Again I urge upon the Congress the need of additional office buildings in the District of Columbia in the interest
of Federal efficiency and economy. The actual conditions that face some of the Government's most important
activities because of lack of sufficient and suitable working space are almost inconceivable. The Department of
Agriculture occupies 45 widely separated buildings in the District. The General Accounting Office is scattered in 20
different locations, while the Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury Department, with its financial problems
involving the greater bulk of the Federal Government’s receipts, is housed in 11 indifferent and in some cases most
unsatisfactory offices. Efficient and economical administration for which we are striving is impossible under these
conditions. I repeat my former recommendation that in the interest of good administration of Federal business
provision be made at once by the Congress for an annual appropriation of not in excess of $10,000,000 for the con
struction of buildings in the District of Columbia to properly house the Government’s workers,
No general building bill has been enacted since before the war. This matter must necessarily come up for con
sideration. I am not in favor of the passage of an act which would be characterized as a general parceling out. of
favors that usually bears a name lacking in good repute. I am willing to approve an act similar in character to that
which has already passed the House, providing a lump-sum appropriation to be expended under the direction of the
Treasury, or any other proper authority, over a term of years, with such annual appropriations as the national finances
could provide.
With regard to the physical plant of the Government, the policy was adopted of reaching a firm foundation be
fore we attempted to build or rebuild. This was necessary because of the vast expansion of Federal agencies and ac
tivities growing out of the World War. We could not hope, nor was it necessary, to maintain this vast war inheritance.
The only reasonable and proper course was to ascertain what part of it we did need so that money would not be wasted
on the other. The time has now been reached when we know approximately the Government plant which should be
maintained and the additions which are essential thereto. I have already directed your attention to the need of addi
tional Federal buildings at the seat of government in order to adequately house and operate the business of the Gov
ernment and protect its employees and records. The construction of Federal buildings at strategic points throughout
the United States will be of material assistance in the transaction of public business and reduce rentals. This is not
as urgent as the need for buildings in the District of Columbia. There is urgent need for new permanent construction
to house the Army. This has been neglected primarily because we had the temporary shelter erected during the World
War, but this has reached a stage when it is real waste to expend further funds upon its repair. The Congress in ap
propriating for the War Department for the fiscal year 1925 directed a study of the housing situation of the Army with
a view to having laid before it a plan looking to the sale of property held by the War Department and the utilization
of the proceeds to the erection of permanent buildings at places selected for permanent military posts and camps.
This plan, which was reflected in bills introduced in Congress during the last session, would accomplish a very sub
stantial commencement of the housing program for the Army. I commend this plan to the Congress for early consider
ation. It presents the means of meeting an urgent need.
The estimates include $140,000,000 to be credited to the adjusted service certificate fund established under
the World War adjusted compensation act of May 19, 1924. This amount is necessary for the third payment to
the fund to be made January 1, 1927. The applications received clearly indicate that $140,000,000 is the amount
which should be paid into the fund on January 1, 1927.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1925, the gross public debt was reduced $734,619,101.59. This was brought
about through (1) retirements required to be charged against ordinary receipts, in amount $466,538,113.83; (2) a
reduction of $17,575,749.43 in the general fund balance; and (3) the application of the entire surplus of $250,505,238.33.
The debt was at its peak on August 31, 1919, when the gross amount outstanding was $26,596,701,648-01. The

gross amount outstanding on June 30, 1925, was $20,516,193,887.90. The reduction accordingly has been
$6,080,507,760.11, and the annual saving in interest amounts to more than $250,000,000.
Certain fixed debt charges for debt retirement are included in the regular Budget of the Government. This
policy, which has become firmly established and which provides for an orderly retirement of the public debt, was
inaugurated by the Congress in establishing the cumulative sinking fund and in directing that certain miscellaneous
sources of revenue, including the repayment of loans to foreign governments made under authority of the Liberty
bond acts should be applied to debt redemption. During the fiscal year 1925 debt amounting to $306,308,400 was
retired through the cumulative sinking fund. Other fixed debt charges amounted to $160,229,714.
Interest payments during 1925 aggregated $881,806,662.36 as compared to $940,602,912.92 expended in 1924,
and $820,000,000 estimated to be expended during 1926. For 1927 estimated expenditures are $795,000,000.

Chart 4 gives the estimates of expenditures by governmental functions. It supplies information showing for
the average dollar the general end or purpose to be accomplished by the expenditures during the fiscal year 1927.
Of the average dollar to be expended during that fiscal year 3.35 cents will be spent for the general functions of the
Government; 32.87 cents will go for military functions, of which 16.32 cents is for national defense and 16.55 cents
for military pensions, retirement pay, annuities. World War allowances, and life-insurance claims. The chart also

and discount, sale of Government property, public-domain receipts, fees, fines, penalties and forfeitures, gifts and
contributions, repayments of investments, District of Columbia receipts, Panama Canal receipts, and trust-fund
receipts.
The amounts which form the basis for computing the allocation of the average dollar for the estimates of appro
priations by functions for the fiscal year 1927, Chart 2, are given in detail in Budget statement No. 7. The data
used for the income statement, Chart 5, are supplied by Budget statement No. 5; the data for computing the average
dollar for the estimated expenditures by functions, Chart 4, are given in Budget statement No. 9. The data for Chart
3, giving the average dollar allocation of the estimates of expenditures by organization units, are given in Budget
statement No. 2, and similar data for Chart 1 are given in the recapitulation of estimates of appropriations.
Chart 5 does not include the estimated postal revenues for the fiscal year 1927, because such revenues are not
considered receipts of the general fund.

DESCRIPTION OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
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 fields.
Of 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 civil functions indude 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 fluids.
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, which 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, 1925.
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 proposals
contained in the Budget are adopted, but the means by which this balance has been and will be reached. It snows,
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, 1925, amounted
to $734,619,101.83, of which $466,538,113.83 was required by existing law to be made from ordinary revenue, and,
the remainder, $268,080,988 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 $262, 041, 756 for the fiscal year 1926 is reached after deducting the sum of $500,428,595
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 $762,470,351, or
an estimated improvement in the financial condition of the Government of this amount for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1926.
The estimated surplus of receipts of $330,297,894.56 for the fiscal year 1927 has been decreased by the inclusion
of $515,583,398.44 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
$845,881,293 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927.
A feature of especial interest in this table is the manner in which expenditxires 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; (&) the operations in special accounts;
and (c) the capital outlays for rights and obligations—that is, the purchase of stock of Federal intermediate credit
banks and loans to railroads.
Statement No. 2 supports Statement No. 1 and supplies the details of the expenditures made for 1925, compared
with the estimates for 1926, and the proposals for 1927, 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 1925 and estimates of the revenue items to be collected by the several departments
and other organization units during the fiscal years 1926 and 1927.
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 1927 calls for a total expenditure of $3,494,222,308.44, only
$820,130,321 is for the current operations of the Government. The latter sum, it will be seen, is $6,667,412 less than
the corresponding item for the year in progress, 1926. Nonadministrative expenses, including such items as interest
on the public debt, pensions, etc., call for tne expenditure of no less than $1,498,602,414 in 1927.
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 of the Government was derived in 1925 and is expected to
be derived in 1926 and 1927.
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 Washington are also financed from the postal receipts.
This statement shows the results of the operations, which for 1925, 1926, and 1927 show a deficit and gives in
detail the expenditures made and to be made out of the postal revenues. The deficiency in postal 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.

Increase--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------
2, 642, 567
This net increase of $2,642,567 is due primarily to an increase from $76,000,000 to $80,000,000 for the construction
of rural poet roads. While this estimate for the fiscal year 1927 is a clear increase over the amoimt appropriated for
the fiscal year 1926, it does not contemplate an extension of the Government's road-building program. For the past
few years appropriations for constructing such roads have been made under congressional authorizations. The funds
appropriated have been available until expended. Therefore, at the close of eadi year, there has been an unexpended
balance in this appropriation. In preparing the annual estimates, such balance has always been taken into considera
tion in determinmg the amount which shotud be included in the Budget for the following year. This has resulted in
decreasing each annual estimate by the amount of the previous year's balance* As it is now estimated that balances
from previous years will be exhausted by the close of the fiscal year 1926, the estimate of appropriation included in the
Budget for 1927 does not contemplate that any balances from prior years will be available for the fiscal year 1927.
This will account for the increase referred to attoye.
The net increase does not include any new items but involves increases from $2,400,000 to $2,880,000 for more
complete endowment of State agricultural experiment stations, from $69,180 to $89,180 for administering the acts
making appropriations for the State experiment stations, from $144,000 to $180,000 for miscellaneous expenses of

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OF ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS
The net increase of $3,855,309.13 includes reductions from $187,420 to $157,640 for the office of the Secretary of
the Treasury (including the organization for administering the foreign loans and transportation acts), due chiefly
to the transfer of the section of statistics to the office of the Commissioner of Accounts and Deposits; from $6,846,508
to $6,621,408 for the public debt service, due to a decrease in the work of that office; from $891,990 to $889,000 for
the division of printing, due chiefly to a reduction in printing and binding; from $1,651,605 to $1,528,000 for the office
of the Treasurer of the United States, due to a decrease in work and more efficient organization; from $49,926,860 to
$48,712,545 for the internal revenue service, due chiefly to decentralization and an improved organization; and from
$1,692,380 to $1,674,710 for the mint service, due to a reduction in the expenses of assay offices; and increases from
$1,040,744 to $1,090,000 for the chief clerk and superintendent (including the Division of Mail and Files), due chiefly
to a transfer of personnel and items for freight and stationery from other appropriations from which corresponding
deductions were made; from $37,940 to $84,800 for the office of the Commissioner of Accounts and Deposits (including
the Division of Deposits), due chiefly to the transfer of personnel and of the section of statistics from the Secretary’s

necessity of providing for salaries and expenses of employees heretofore carried on the intermediate credit banks’

“ Salaries and expenses, national bank examiners,” of $50,000; from $20,597,835 to $24,243,140 for Coast Guard, due
chiefly to the fact that former estimates of expenditures for the added activities of the Coast Guard incident to pro

from $7,738,150 to $7,817,400 for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, due to providing a reserve stock of finished
currency for the Treasurer’s vaults; from $475,680 to $485,180 for Secret Service, due to tlje necessity of increasing

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 16,000 reserve officers and 692 reserve enlisted men for a period oi 15
days, or approximately the same numbers as are being trained during the current fiscal year, and 551 reserve officers
for a period of more than 15 days, as against 565 officers during the current fiscal year; for the attendance of 35,000
men at citizens’ military training camps as against 33,681 during the current fiscal year; for an average enrollment
of 119,200 students in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps units as against 119,000 during the current year; and
will enable the Militia Bureau to continue an average strength throughout the year of 183,519, the same strength
carried for the current year. In the cases of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps and the citizens’ military training
camps the tota] funds available for 1926 have been reduced in the Budget for 1927 by $128,860.
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 mili
tary purposes,” 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 1,818 horses for the Army to replace others incapacitated by old age; for the maintenance in part
of the clothing and ammunition reserves; for the maintenance of laundries at disciplinary barracks, but not for con
tinuing Army laundries at any other stations; for the 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 $18,050,000 is estimated, $15,050,000 being for direct appropriation and $3,000,000 for obli
gation by contract, as against $14,700,000 directly appropriated for the current year with a contract authorization
of $2,150,000. This will not only enable the Air Service to maintain its present status in heavier-than-air craft and
t h e b u d g e t , 1927
a92
at the same time assist in keeping alive the aircraft industry for use in time of emergency, but the funds provided will
increase the efficiency of the Air Service through the replacement of old aircraft witn new modern planes.
In addition to the normal maintenance of the Chemical Warfare Service, $300,000 is provided for the manu
facture of gas masks.
For the United States Military Academy provision is made for the essentials connected with its maintenance
and operation and $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 ana 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 Rivers $10,000,000 and $400,000, respectively, are estimated; the
total provided for all items of river and harbor improvement being $56,037,600, as compared with $59,277,990 for
the current year.

Net increase________________________________ ____________________________________ _
103, 808,148
Ordinarily the increase in the cost of the Postal Service from year to year is due to the growth of the service
'coincident with the growth of the country and the expansion of business activities. The increase in the Budget esti
mate for 1927 is extraordinary and is the result of two factors: First, the increased cost of personal services under the
provisions of the act of February 28, 1925, known as the “ postal pay act,” estimated at approximately $70,000,000;
■and, second, an effort to further improve conditions in post offices throughout the country in order that continued
'good service may be given to the people.
The principal increases under the several appropriation titles involved are: From $1,775,000 to $1,952,900 for
post office inspectors* salaries; from $46,600,000 to $51,250,000 for compensation to postmasters; from $6,000,000
to $7,150,000 for compensation to assistant postmasters; from $130,100,000 to $163,650,000 for clerks and other
employees at first and second class post offices, including printers, mechanics, and skilled laborera; from $6,200,000
to $7,884,600 for watchmen, messengers, and laborers; from $1,575,000 to $1,734,000 for clerks in charge of contract
stations; from $4,650,000 to $8,650,000 for clerks at third-class post offices; from $15,175,000 to $16,450,000 for
rent, light, and fuel; from $975,000 to $1,602,000 for miscellaneous items at first and second class post offices; from
$1,700,000 to $1,980,000 for village delivery service; from $1,000,000 to $1,175,000 for car fare and bicycle allow
ance; from $92,000,000 to $116,600,000 for city delivery carriers; from $7,600,000 to $8,600,000 for special delivery
fees; from $15,400,000 to $17,394,537 for vehicle service; from $112,250,000 to $115,000,000 for railroad transporta
tion; from $2,600,000 to $2,750,000 for the Government-owned airplane service between New York and San Fran
cisco, and $2,000,000 for the new contract Air Mail Service, which represents not more than 80 per cent of the revenue
on mail carried; from $49,500,000 to $55,904,121 for salaries of railway mail employees; from $2,675,000 to $3,800,000
for travel allowances of railway postal clerks; from $1,500,000 to $1,700,000 for balances due foreign countries; from
$1,400,000 to $1,685,700 for post office equipment and supplies; from $1,800,000 to $2,450,000 for mail bags and
equipment due principally to the necessity of purchasing new canvas, the Army surplus being exhausted; from
$12,700,000 to $13,100,000 for star routes; and from $88,350,000 to $104,000,000 for Rural Delivery Service.
Practically all of the above reported increases, especially those relating to the personnel of the service, are
affected by the fact that provision has not as yet been made in postal appropriations to cover the increased cost of
a94
TH E BUDGET, 1927
the service under the terms of the “ postal pay act,” above referred to. This act was approved February 28, 1925,
but the increased salaries and allowances provided for thereunder were made retroactive to January 1, 1925. The
act making appropriations for the Post Office Department and Postal Service was approved January 22, 1925. It
will therefore be necessary to present at this session of Congress supplemental estimates of appropriations required
for this purpose, aggregating approximately $68,000,000, and this amount should be taken into account in connec
tion with 1926 appropriations when making comparisons with 1927 estimates. The amounts applicable to each
item of appropriation involved have not as yet been finally determined.
The revenues of the Postal Service for the fiscal year 1927 have been estimated at $704,400,000. As the Budget
estimates for that year contemplate expenditures amounting to $740,277,563 (including $200,000 for indefinite appro
priation items) a postal deficit in 1927 of approximately $36,000,000 is apparent.
