In carrying out the purposes of the Budget system so wisely prescribed by the Congress in June, 1921, the execu
tive branch and the legislative branch of the Government have been colaborers. It has been a great demonstration
of cooperation made possible by our form of government. The results of this united effort have gone directly to
the people of this Nation. The real object back of this united effort has been to make the greatest possible return
to the people of the money which was taken from them to finance the World War. And this has been accomplished
not to the detriment of the Federal service, not by the withholding of funds for necessary and worthy purposes, but
to the advantage of that service and of the business of the people. It has required us to put our house in order and
to provide for its management in a scientific business way, not alone for its current operations, but also for its future
requirements.
In the span of a little more than five years there have been three substantial reductions in taxes. The direct
result of this has been that the people have been permitted to retain more of their own earnings for their own use and
productive investment. And from this, and probably to a greater extent than from any other cause, has come the
great prosperity which now exists in almost all lines in this country.
In considering the question of further tax reduction there are many factors which should be taken into account.
During the past five fiscal years the Treasury has had the benefit of receipts aggregating $950,000,000 representing
returns from moneys theretofore expended by the United States, and, in addition, there has been received $400,000,000
from income taxes for past years in excess of refunds. In the present fiscal year the net income from these items
represents about $250,000,000 of our expected receipts. They are now about at an end, and in the fiscal year 1928
it is estimated the net return from this source will amount to less than $50,000,000. We have come to the point, there
fore, where we will have to rely for the future entirely upon current taxes. The yield from current taxes of the Federal
Government is measured by the prosperity of the American people. When business is good and national income is
high, our revenue from income taxes based upon a percentage of income is also high. But should the national income
decline, the Government would experience a material loss of revenue even under existing rates of tax. Miscellaneous
taxes and customs duties are dependent upon the purchasing power of the people, which also is subject to variation
with prosperity, and we must expect a decrease in Government revenue from these sources with any drop in the
purchases of the American people. Under these conditions our estimated surplus of $200,000,000 for 1928 is none
too large an operating margin in a business involving an annual expenditure of more than three and one-half billions
of dollars payable from ordinary receipts, or more than four billions of dollars when we include our postal expendi
tures payable from postal receipts.
The revenue act of 1926 has been in effect but nine months, and the reduction in miscellaneous taxes has not
yet been fully reflected in revenue. We have had too short an experience with the new law to permit an intelligent
permanent reduction of tax rates. It must be clear to all that a permanent reduction of rates affects not only the
current fiscal year, in which, as I have said, there are included nonrecurring items aggregating $250,000,000, but the
next and succeeding fiscal years in which nonrecurring items will no longer be material and when current taxes may feel
the effect of any change in our prosperity. Business can easily adjust itself to less expenses brought about by less
taxes, but it is much more difficult to make an adjustment for more expenses made necessary by more taxes. This
VI
THE BUDGET, 1928
is particularly true with respect to Federal taxes, since the necessity of imposing additional taxes would arise from
a decline in prosperity which would decrease governmental revenue below governmental expenditures, a decline
which must also affect all taxpayers. Increased taxes to meet Government requirements would come at a time not
of prosperity but of depression, and would aggravate the depression. For these reasons I do not advise the present
session of Congress to reduce permanently our tax rates or abolish any particular tax. Each of the three reductions
in taxes which have been enacted by the Congress since the fiscal year 1921 have been predicated on an assurance
that our financial condition warranted it. No such assurance can be given to-day as a warrant for future permanent
tax reduction.
With our still enormous national debt amounting to nearly nineteen and one-half billion dollars, a surplus can
be no embarrassment, since it can be applied without difficulty to the reduction of the interest-bearing obliga
tions of the Government and thus effect a saving in interest costs. Interest is the largest single item of
Government expenditure, and its decrease offers the most fruitful subject for permanent reduction of governmental
expenditure. We have had since the close of the war an established program of debt reduction through the sinking
fund and application of receipts from foreign-debt settlements. This should not be disturbed. But surplus is a
factor in debt reduction in addition to the items I have just mentioned. In considering the question of a lessening
of the surplus for the current fiscal year it is necessary to weigh the desirability in the present of temporary relief to
the American taxpayer against desirability in the future of greater debt reduction now. Should Congress be of the
opinion that the surplus estimated for the current fiscal year based upon receipts expected to be received under the
existing law is too large, then I suggest a temporary tax reduction measure which will cut down this expected surplus
by leaving the excess in the pockets of the American taxpayers.
In determining the form such temporary tax reduction should take, if the Congress proposes one, I believe we
should adopt the simplest practical plan which will do equity. It is administratively difficult to consider any arrange
ment affecting the December 15, 1926, tax payment. Many individuals have already paid their income tases in
full, and time is too short for action by Congress and by the Bureau of Internal Revenue before the December payment;
It would not be practicable, either, to postpone the date of the December payment, since there are $452,000,000 of
United States certificates of indebtedness maturing on December 15, 1926, and the Treasury is relying upon cash to
be received during that month to assist it in meeting this maturity. It has seemed to me, therefore, that the most
practicable way of preventing the accumulation by the close of this fiscal year of a surplus larger than the Congress
deems desirable is to authorize a reduction in the taxes which become due in the first six months of the next year;
that is, a reduction on the quarterly tax payments due March 15 and June 15, 1927. The amount of this relief should
depend upon the surplus which Congress may desire to divert from debt reduction to tax reduction. It is a problem
on which the House under the Constitution must originate action.
With the experience of another year’s test of the revenue act of 1926, and with a more accurate knowledge which
the year will give of what the future has in store for a continuance of our prosperity, we can determine what our per
manent policy of taxation shall be. In times of peace we must meet governmental expenditures out of governmental
revenues. We should not take by taxation more than our requirements. But also we should not take less than
our requirements.
,
In the Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927, transmitted to the Congress December 7, 1925, the esti
mated receipts for the fiscal year 1926 were $3,880,716,942 and the estimated expenditures $3,618,675,186. Actual
receipts for that year were $3,962,755,690.14, while actual expenditures totaled but $3,584,987,873.50— an increase
of $82,038,748.14 in receipts over the Budget estimate, and a decrease in expenditure of $33,687,312.50 below that
estimate, which is approximately 1 per cent of the total expenditure. This increase in receipts and reduction in
expenditure increased the estimated surplus by $115,726,060.64—from $262,041,756, the Budget estimate, to
$377,767,816.64, the actual surplus.
This brings us to the current fiscal year, of which five full months are now completed. The Budget for 1927
forecast for that year receipts $3,824,530,203, and expenditures $3,494,222,308.44, and indicated a surplus tq i
$330,307,894.56. This favorable forecast made one year ago now may be made even more favorable. With five
months of the current year completed, the estimate is now that our receipts will amount to $4,026,780,688 and our
expenditures, $3,643,701,593, thus forecasting a surplus of $383,079,095.
While the revised estimate for 1927 shows an increase of $52,771,200 in the surplus, it also shows a net increase
of $149,500,000 in the estimated expenditure for that year.
This net increase embraces a number of items in which changes, both increases and decreases, have occurred in
the year which has ensued since the original estimate was made. On the increase side of the new estimate the prin
cipal items are: Pensions, $41,000,000; construction of public buildings and vessels under the Treasury Department,
$25,000,000; vocational rehabilitation, insurance and compensation under the Veterans’ Bureau, $41,000,000; public
TO
MESSAGE TBANSMITTING THE BUDGET
debt reduction, $50,000,000. The last-mentioned item was due to a corresponding increase in the estimated receipts
of funds that are required by law to be applied to debt reduction as a result of new foreign funding agreements made
during the year. The other items of increase are due principally to new legislation enacted during the year. On the
decrease side the major items are adjusted service certificate fund, $24,000,000; increased receipts of the War Finance
Corporation, applied to a reduction of expenditure, $15,000,000; and interest on public debt, $10,000,000. Part of
the increase in estimated expenditure was provided by appropriations made during the last session of Congress. There
remains to be provided at the present session of the Congress for the 1927 requirements of the Veterans’ Bureau
$28,000,000, and for pensions $41,000,000.
We now come to the estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year 1928. These are summarized in the following

THE BUDGET, 192?
This statement indicates that the estimates of appropriations for 1928 payable from the Treasury are $2,600,000)
less than the appropriations for 1927. The estimates for 1928 do not include the amount which will be required in.
that year, in addition to existing appropriations, for carrying out the public building act of May 25, 1926. An.
estimate for this purpose, which will amount to approximately $20,000,000, will be submitted to the Congress later,>
as all of the essential data has not yet been assembled. On the other hand, the appropriations for 1927 do not take
into consideration certain lawful obligations for that year for which it will be necessary to present supplemental
estimates to the Congress.
TAX
REFUNDS.
The appropriations for 1927 and the estimates for 1928 make no provision for tax refunds. There will be needed
for the balance of the current year $119,000,000 and for 1928 the sum of $152,000,000, approximately. There has
been spent this year for this purpose $34,775,000, so that the expenditures for the two years will fairly balance. The
appropriations for this purpose have been completely exhausted. A supplemental estimate to provide for refunds
up to and including December, 1927, will be presented to Congress.
N A T IO N A L
D EFEN SE
The estimates for the War and Navy Departments total $680,537,642. In addition to this they provide for.
availability through contract authorizations and allotments from the naval supply account of $5,900,000. Elimi
nating all nonmilitary items, including the retired lists, this Budget provides $574,000,000 for our national defense.
This is a very considerable amount to spend for protection in time of peace. No threatening cloud at the present
time darkens the sky. Our intent and attitude is one of peace and friendly regard toward all nations and peoples.
This, however, is not sufficient warrant to neglect our defense and default on necessary precautions. In recom
mending the amount herein carried for the Army and Navy and other national defense factors, I am fully satisfied
that with the wise administration we have reason to expect from those charged with its expenditure it will give us
an adequate defense program.
With regard to personnel the estimates provide for the Army an average of 11,961 commissioned officers, 1,153
cadets, 1,219 warrant officers, and 115,000 enlisted men, exclusive of the Philippine Scouts, for which provision is
made to the number of 6,882. For the Navy provision is made for an average of 7,231 commissioned officers, 1,479
warrant officers, 1,545 midshipmen, and 82,500 enlisted men, and for the Marine Corps 1,020 commissioned officers,
155 warrant officers, and 16,800 enlisted men. These, with our highly trained and efficient National Guard, for
which the estimates make provision for an average personnel of 180,000, give us the rather formidable strength of
426,945. But we do not stop here. The estimates contain funds for the War Department for the training of 12,924
reserve officers, for the attendance of 30,000 men at civilian military training camps and for the enrollment of 116,141
students in the units of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps. Under the Navy Department provision is made in
the estimates for 14,142 fleet and assigned fleet reserve of the Navy and Marine Corps and the training of 11,145
Navy and Marine Corps reserves.
Taking all of these into account, we are really making provision for military and naval strength of more than
610,000 men. And this does not take into consideration the military and naval retired lists which embrace 14,167
officers and men, or the Coast Guard of 11,969 officers and men which, in time of emergency, becomes an integral
part of our national defense. I am in favor of adequate military preparedness, and so far as personnel is concerned
we should certainly have this from the funds carried in these estimates.
While on the subject of our national defense it is proper to state that no provision is made in the estimates for
the Navy Department for commencing the construction of the remaining three of the eight light cruisers which the
act of December 18, 1924, authorizes to be undertaken prior to July 1, 1927. This country is now engaged in negotia
tions to broaden our existing treaties with the great powers which deal with the elimination of competition in naval
armaments. I feel that it would be unfortunate at this time and not in keeping with our attitude toward these
negotiations to commence the construction of these three cruisers. Rather do I recommend to the Congress the
enactment of legislation which will extend the time for beginning their construction.
With regard to the improvement of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, an appropriation of $1,000,000 is available this year
for commencing dredging operations. Bids covering the completion of this Navy project will be opened during
the current month. A supplemental estimate will be submitted should it be found that additional funds for 1928
are needed for the orderly prosecution and early completion of this important project.

The Congress has recently prescribed a well-digested and orderly program for the further development of the
air services of the Army and Navy. The estimates herewith make adequate provision Tor carrying this program iato
effect. They provide for the immediate availability of certain amounts for the Air Corps of the Army so as not to
Message
t r a n s m it t in g t h e b u d g e t

delay the inauguration of the five-year program. As the act defining the Army aircraft program was not approved
until July 2, 1926, there was no opportunity to present to the Congress at its last session an estimate for funds fully
to carry into effect the first increment during the fiscal year 1927. The estimates submitted herewith make ample
provision for carrying into effect that part of the program for 1927 and 1928 which orderly and efficiently can be
accomplished. They do not, however, make provision of funds for two full yearly increments, as I do not believe
it is the desire of the Congress that we attempt to crowd into less than one and one-half years a full two-year
increment. The act of July 2, 1926, increases the authorized commissioned strength of the Air Corps of the Army
by 403 officers in yearly increments over the period of the five-year program. No provision for any of these addi
tional officers is made in these estimates, as the Air Corps should first absorb the additional 328 officers necessary to
bring its actual strength—919— up to the authorized strength— 1,247 under the old law. These 328 additional
officers are to be provided from the commissioned force for which provision is made in these estimates. The addi
tional enlisted men authorized for the Air Corps are provided for in the enlisted strength of 115,000 men.
The Navy five-year air program approved June 24, 1926, authorized the construction of two rigid airships of
approximately 6,000,000 cubic feet volume, the two to cost not in excess of $8,000,000. The act provides that the
building of one of these ships shall be undertaken as soon as practicable and prior to July 1,1928. Having in mind that
the Congress recently appropriated $300,000 for the construction of an all-metal airship for experimental purposes,
to determine by practical demonstration the type of construction and character of material to govern in the future
in the making of lighter-than-air craft, it is thought the part of wisdom to wait upon this determination, even though
it may be found necessary to ask for an extension of the time limit placed on the initiation of work on one of the ships.
Briefly summarized, provision is made in this Budget under the appropriation items for the air services and
other items which enter into the cost thereof for a total of $73,477,380 for aviation of the Army and the Navy. This
amount embraces $20,600,000 for the procurement of new planes and $2,400,000 for the construction of barracks and
quarters at aviation fields. It does not, however, include the value of supplies available from war surplus, which
would increase this total by a number of millions of dollars.
While discussing the subject of our air services, it is proper here to refer to the other provisions made in this
Budget for air navigation. To carry into effect the act to encourage and regulate the use of aircraft in commerce,
approved May 20, 1926, the estimates carry for the Department of Commerce $796,250 for the promotion of air
commerce and regulatory work, which includes funds for the procurement of not to exceed 10 airplanes, and $3,219,500
for the establishment and maintenance of aids to air navigation. The estimates carry $523,000 for the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. Under the Department of Agriculture they provide $50,000 for the main
tenance and operation of airplane patrol in the national forests and $120,000 for special weather observations for
the benefit of air navigation. The estimates for the Postal Service carry for the operation of the air mail service
between New York and San Francisco $2,350,000, with provision that a part of this sum be made available for contract
service if the route be leased to private operators and for the contract air mail service $2,000,000. The estimates
for the Coast Guard carry $186,151 for the operation of its seaplane fleet.
The proper development of the aeronautical industry in this country is essential both to our national defense
and commercial aviation. The Federal requirements for aircraft alone are strengthening this industry. The pro
gram which the Congress has prescribed for our air forces will assure the industry continuing Federal business and an
increase from other sources should accrue to the industry from the legislation for the encouragement of commercial
aviation and from the policy which we are following of making contracts with private operators for the air trans
portation of mail. The Government is operating but one air mail route and proposals have been issued by the Post
Office Department with a view of placing this route under contract for operation by private interests. In the pro
duction of airplanes and accessories there is no competition between the Federal Government and private industry.
It is a fortunate situation when the needs of the Government can be met by affording an orderly stimulation of the
industry upon which we depend to supply our needs. The present sound condition of the aeronautical industry
in this country shows the wisdom of the policy which we are following. If there is any question as to the failure of
our Government to recognize the importance of aviation in national defense and in commerce the answer can be
found in the vast sums which heretofore have been appropriated and the legislation enacted by the Congress. The
estimates contained in this Budget carry alone for this purpose a total of more than $82,500,000.

There is included in this Budget $12,000,000 for the operating deficit of the Shipping Board. It is believed
this amount, reenforced by certain receivables and other available resources, with reduction of losses through sales
of lines as opportunity offers, as contemplated by the Congress, will permit necessary operation of the Government’s
merchant marine during the fiscal year 1928. From 1921 to 1926, inclusive, the total net loss incurred in the opera
tion of its various lines was $238,157,582.18. These figures represent losses sustained through the operation of the

active fleet and the maintenance of inactive vessels. I mention this to show that in the six fiscal years from 1921
to 1926, inclusive, the Government has spent in the operation of its merchant marine an average of nearly $40,000,000
a year. The losses have been gradually diminishing each year. Provision is also made for continuing the avail
ability of the $10,000,000 defense fund appropriated in the first session of this Congress.
With regard to the operation of vessels by the Shipping Board, the merchant marine act of 1920 contemplates
that such operation shall be maintained unless it shall appear within a reasonable time that the lines or parts thereof
can not be made self-sustaining. None of the lines now being operated are self-sustaining, and while the reduction
in cost has been helpful from the standpoint of the Treasury there is no immediate prospect that any part of these
lines can be operated without loss to the Government.
Under the joint resolution of July 3, 1926, the United States Shipping Board will present to the Congress not
later than January 1, 1927, two plans for building up and maintaining an adequate merchant marine for commerce
and national security—one through private capital and under private ownership and the other through construction,
operation, and ownership by the Government. The time is approaching, if it has not already been reached, whip
the Congress should give consideration to the formulation of a more definite policy regarding our merchant marine.
Such definite policy, I trust, is foreshadowed in the resolution to which I have referred.

For the eradication of tuberculosis in animals an estimate for $5,853,000 is included in the Budget. This is ah
increase of $1,200,000 over the amount provided for the current year. The continuing increase in the number of
cities which have placed embargoes against milk from dairy herds which have not passed the Federal tuberculin test
is placing a heavy burden on the owners of dairy herds, since slaughter of infected animals is the accepted method of
eradication. The furnishing of pure milk is of vital importance to the health of the people. Because of its interstate
character, it is entirely proper that the Federal Government share with the States the cost of protecting the purity of
this great food supply. The amount included in the estimates should permit adequate prosecution of the work Of
eliminating tubercular cattle from dairy herds.
The results of the work already done warrant the belief that we can confidently expect the complete elimination
of this menace to health. With this hope and probability in mind, there certainly is no excuse or warrant for State
or Nation to withhold the funds necessary to effectively carry on this important campaign.
FOREST
C O N S E R V A T IO N
The estimates carry a total of $22,037,984 for the protection, preservation, and conservation of our forests.
The forest acreage in the United States is approximately 372,426,000 acres, of which 158,000,000 acres are in the
national forests. With such generous forest resources we have been prone to consider the supply of forest materials
inexhaustible. The constantly increasing demands to meet our growing needs, however, and the destruction of for
ests by fire are arousing apprehension that in the comparatively near future industry n$ay be seriously handicapped
for lack of forest products. Important remedies to meet this situation are fire prevention and reforestation. Through
out the forest regions cooperative work in connection with protection of timber and reforestation of lands has, beep
highly developed. In many of the States it is compulsory on private owners. The Clarke-McNary law contemplates
that the Federal Government as beneficiaiy in this cooperative work contribute approximately one-fourth the cost.
Since forest products enter so largely into the necessities of all of our people, it is proper that the Federal Govern
ment stand ready to bear its share of the needed conservation of our timber resources. The increased estimates for
forest activities now submitted have that end in view. The recent heavy losses by fire must be met by a deficiency
appropriation, which will approximate $2,000,000. With further protective measures, it is hoped such large deficiency
appropriations may be avoided in the future.
The estimates also include $1,000,000 for the acquisition of land at the headwaters of navigable streams. While
this item is primarily for the conservation and control of water, the project bears an important relation to forest con
servation. There is now pending in Congress a bill to authorize an appropriation of $2,000,000 a year for the fiscal
years 1928 and 1929 for this purpose. In the event of the passage of this bill consideration will be given to the sub
mission of a supplemental estimate of $1,000,000 for this purpose.
RURAL
POST
ROADS
For cooperative construction of rural post roads to June 30, 1928, the amount of $765,000,000 has been author
ized by the Congress. The estimates carry $75,000,000 for 1928, which is the total authorization for that year.
This amount would bring total appropriations to $666,200,000—$98,800,000 less than the amount authorized. In
view of the authority granted the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into contractual obligations for the total author
ization, it is necessary only to appropriate in each fiscal year the funds required to pay for current work- The

construction program is not delayed by this method. In view of the increasing ability of the States to finance their
oifru road construction, due to the general adoption of the gasoline tax, I renew my recommendation of a year ago
that futvlre legislation restrict the Federal Government’s participation in State road construction to primary or inter
state highways, leaving it to the States to finance their secondary or intercounty roads. This would operate to
diminish the amount of the authorizations after the fiscal year 1929, when the present authority expires.

No estimate is submitted for carrying on the work under the maternity and infancy act, approved November
23, 1921, inasmuch as the authorization of appropriations for this purpose was fulfilled with the appropriation for
1927. A bill is now pending before the Congress extending the provisions of that act to the fiscal,years 1928 and
1929. If and when that measure becomes law I propose sending to the Congress a supplemental estimate for an
appropriation to make its provisions effective. I am in favor of the proposed legislation extending the period of
operation of this law with the understanding and hope that the administration of the funds to be provided would be
with a view to the gradual withdrawal of the Federal Government from this field, leaving to the States, who have
been paid by Federal funds and schooled under Federal supervision, the privilege and duty of maintaining this im
portant work without aid or interference from the Federal Government.
I have referred in previous Budget messages to the advisability of restricting and curtailing Federal subsidies
to the States. The maternity act offers concrete opportunity to begin this program. The States should now be
in a position to walk alone along this highway of helpful endeavor, and I believe it in the interest of the States and
the Federal Government to give them the opportunity.

For the enforcement of prohibition nearly $30,000,000 is provided in the Budget by direct and indirect appro
priations. The Coast Guard has been enlarged and strengthened to enable it to prosecute effectively its part of the
campaign of enforcement, while the other enforcement agencies have been amply financed. Whatever is necessaiy
to put into effect the expressed will of the people as written into the eighteenth amendment of the Constitution of
the United States and the will of the Congress as expressed in the Volstead Act will be done. Whatever funds may
be necessary to vindicate the law and secure compliance with all its provisions should be provided. The constitu

This Budget carries $66,347,600 for the improvement and maintenance of existing river and harbor works, flood
control, operation and care of canals, and other works of navigation. This does not include the maintenance and
operation of the Panama Canal, for which $7,600,000 is recommended. For rivers and harbors proper the sum of
$50,000,000 is asked. To complete approved projects, $195,000,000 will be required. Of the $50,000,000 contained
in the Budget slightly more than $30,000,000 will be available for improvement and new construction. At this rate
we will complete authorized projects in something less than seven years. We are providing $50,000,000 annually
for river and harbor work and $10,000,000 annually for Mississippi flood control. Commitment of the Federal Gov
ernment at this time to a more ambitious and generous annual spending program should not be made without the
most careful study of the financial condition of the country and the plight of the taxpayer.

VETERANS
For the relief, care, and comfort of the veterans of our various wars and their dependents I am recommending
in this Budget a total of nearly $705,000,000. This total includes pensions, adjusted compensation, and all other
factors, direct and indirect, that enter into this great patriotic service the Government owes its defenders. There can
be no thought of curtailing this work of appreciation, this willing attempt to pay the Nation’s debt. It may be wise,
however, to call a halt at this time with regard to additional legislation for the veterans. It may be in the interest of
the beneficiaries to permit existing provisions for their care and the care of their families to rest undisturbed for
a period, at least until we can definitely determine what deserving need is unprovided for. What the veterans need
it is a privilege to give, and the giving should crowd the heels of the need when determined.

a good investment and bring us adequate return.

In addition to the usual statements giving information of the financial transactions of the establishments of the
Government for which annual appropriations are made, the 1928 Budget carries a comprehensive summary of the
financial status of a considerable number of special funds, accounts, and authorizations operated either by Govern
ment agencies direct or under some form of Government supervision and responsibility. This summary makes avail
able information concerning the financial condition of various Government institutions not heretofore published in
readily available form.
THE
N A T IO N A L
DEBT
The reduction in the total gross debt for the fiscal year 1926 was $872,977,572.71. This was effected by (1)
$487,376,050.69 on account of the sinking fund and other debt retirements chargeable against ordinary receipts;
(2) application of the entire surplus of $377,767,816.64; and (3) reduction in the general fund balance of $7,833,705.38
below the balance at the close of the previous fiscal year.
In the past five fiscal years the debt reduction aggregated $4,334,000,000, and in June, 1926, reached a level
below twenty billions for the first time since November, 1918. The short-dated debt required to be paid or refunded
in three and one-half years, which includes the third Liberty loan, amounted on June 30, 1926, to 4.7 billions, as
compared with 6.1 billions at the close of the previous fiscal year. The decrease of 1.4 billions in this part of the
debt has strengthened the position of the Treasury for the refunding operations necessary in connection with the
third Liberty loan, which matures on September 15, 1928, and is not callable before that date.
The interest payment on the debt, the largest single item of our expenditures, amounted to $832,000,000 in
1926, as against $999,000,000 in 1921, a decrease of $167,000,000, or nearly 17 per cent. For 1927 the estimated
expenditures are $785,000,000 and for 1928, $755,000,000.
The World War Foreign Debt Commission has substantially completed the duties imposed upon it by Congress.
Eliminating certain debtors with which negotiations are not now practical, funding agreements have been signed
with all of those nations owing the United States on account of loans made during and after the war. All of the
settlements have been ratified by Congress except those with France and Jugo-Slavia, and in these cases the House
of Representatives has acted but the bills are still pending in the Senate. But the French settlement has not yet
been taken up by their Parliament. In general, uncertainty with respect to war debts has ended.

By the Paris agreement the United States has participated officially in the restoration of Germany. Through
the Federal reserve system and through our bankers and private American citizens, we have been of assistance in
the progress of financial restoration of many countries in Europe. The American spirit, characteristic of construc
tion, will, I feel sure, be an active help in further plans to put other countries in sound condition. Europe is pro
gressing and is reaching again peace condition.
There remains still for the United States to settle a series of related questions now unanswered but which alreidy
have the attention of Congress. These questions are three, and have to do principally with Germany, although
similar matters, but lesser in amount, also involve Austria and Hungary. As a war measure the President, through
the Alien Property Custodian, seized the private property of enemy nationals, and to a large extent this property is
still held by the custodian awaiting disposition by Congress. Under her treaty of peace with us, Germany undertook
to reimburse American nationals and the United States Government for losses and damages occasioned by Germany.
By the treaty the property of German nationals seized and held in this country is pledged as security for the payment
of the claims of American nationals against Germany, and by arrangement between the two countries a mixed Ger
man-American commission has been constituted to pass upon the merits of the claims and is now completing its
awards.
M essage tR A ttsM itn ira t S E

Germany’s obligations to pay reparations were in excess of her immediate capacity, and her creditors devised for
her reorganization a plan and method of payment a part of which accrues to the United States. This plan, in the
opinion of its framers, constitutes the maximum that Germany can immediately pay to her former enemies and of neces
sity represents holding in abeyance some of Germany’s obligations. Under this plan the amount applicable to the
immediate payment of the American claims is as a practical matter inadequate. Some other way will have to be found
to insure prompt payment to our nationals for their losses.
Also as a war measure the United States seized and used ships, radio stations, and patents belonging to German
nationals and found in the United States. The moral obligation to return the private property or its proceeds in the
hands of the Alien Property Custodian to its German owners is equally applicable to the payment of compensation for
the ships, radio stations, and patents or proceeds received from their disposal. We should treat the two situations
alike.
Congress should enact into law during the present session a fair and comprehensive plan for the settlement of
these three questions. Without here suggesting the details of any particular plan, I believe that a correct solution
of the problem is controlled by two principles. The Supreme Court of the United States has held in effect that it is
within the legal rights of Congress to make such use of the property of German nationals which the United States has
seized as Congress may desire. It might, therefore, apply the proceeds of this property belonging to German nationals
to the payment of the obligations of the German Government to the United States and to our nationals, thus satisfying
American claims. In my opinion such a course is not consistent with the American ideal of the sanctity of private
property of nationals, even though their Government may be at war with us. Sound American policy ia opposed
to the application of the property of German nationals to the payment of the debt of their Government. This is
the first principle. If the policy I have just mentioned is right, as I believe it to be, then the cost of its adoption
must be borne by the whole people, and the policy can not be affirmed at the sacrifice of the rights of only a part of
the people— the American claimants against Germany. The alien property is pledged as security for the payment
of the American claims. If the United States deprives the American claimants of their security it can only do so
fairly if it substitutes for this security practical assurance of ultimate payment of the American claims. The United
States should do justice to German nationals, but it must not do justice to Germans by doing injustice to our own
American nationals. This is the second principle. Within these principles I feel sure that means will be found to
accomplish a solution of the questions fair to all and consistent with American policies.

THE CHART PRESENTATION
The chart presentation of the estimates of receipts, expenditures, and appropriations for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1928, given opposite page A2, sets forth graphically the source of income and how the average dollar of
the estimated expenditures and appropriations is apportioned to organization units and functions in the Budget
for the fiscal year 1928.
. . .
Chart 1 exhibits the estimates of appropriations by organization units, exclusive of the Post Office Department
payable from postal revenues, and gives the allocation of the average dollar to the several departments and estab
lishments for which the appropriations are recommended. It will be seen that of the average dollar to be appro
priated 0.50 cent is for the legislative establishment; 15.97 cents for independent offices, of which 14.60 cents is for
the Veterans’ Bureau; that 4.44 cents is for the Department of Agriculture; 8.77 cents for the Department of the
Interior; 9.64 cents for the Navy Department; 11.26 cents for the War Department; 45.72 cents for the Treasury
Department, of which 23.18 cents is for interest on the public debt and 17.31 cents for reduction in principal of the
public debt payable from ordinary receipts; and only 3.60 cents for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, Labor,
aud State, the District of Columbia, and the Executive Office.
Chart 2 gives the estimates of appropriations by governmental functions and exhibits the purpose for which the
average dollar is to be appropriated for the fiscal year 1928. It shows that of each dollar recommended for appro
priation 3.61 cents goes for general functions; 39.97 cents for military functions, of which 17.45 cents is for national
defense and 22.52 cents for military pensions, retirement pay, annuities, World War allowances, and life-insurance
claims. It also shows that of the average dollar to be appropriated 14.42 cents is for civil functions, of which 1.23
cents is for promotion, regulation, and operation of marine transportation, and 5.03 cents for public works. Of the
total, 42 cents of each dollar included in the estimates is for nonfunctional purposes. This includes 0.81 cent for
refunds, drawbacks, and like appropriations, 17.31 cents for public-debt retirements, and 23.18 cents for interest
on the public debt.
Chart 3 gives the estimates of expenditures by organization units for the fiscal year 1928. Of the average dollar
to be expended it shows that 11.36 cents will be disbursed by the Veterans' Bureau; 4.28 cents by the Department
of Agriculture; 0.95 cent by the Department of Commerce; 8.04 cents by the Department of the Interior; 0.72
cent by the Department of Justice; 0.27 cent by the Department of Labor; 9.15 cents by the Navy Department;
10.52 cents by the War Department; 0.34 cent by the State Department; 56.47 cents by the Treasury Department,
of which 15.77 cents represents reduction in principal of public debt payable from ordinary receipts, and 21.14 cents
for interest on the public debt; 1.06 cents by the District of Columbia; and but 2.06 cents to be disbursed by the
legislative branch, the independent establishments other than the Veterans’ Bureau and the Executive Office.
Chart 4 gives the estimate 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 1928.
Of the average dollar to be expended during that fiscal year 3.36 cents will be spent for the general functions of the
Government; 34.89 cents will go for military functions, of which 16.82 cents is for. national defense, and 18.57 cents
for military pensions, retirement pay, annuities, World War allowances, and life-insurance claims. The chart also
shows that 14.77 cents will be expended for civil functions, of which 1.48 cents goes for promotion, regulation, and
operation of marine transportation, 5.51 cents for public works, and 7.78 cents for other civil functions; that 46.98
cents will be expended for nonfunctional operations, of which 4.95 cents represents refunds and drawbacks; 36.91
cents for fixed-debt charges, of which 15.77 cents is for public-debt retirements payable from ordinary receipts, 21.14
cents for interest on the public debt, and 5.12 cents for the disbursement of trust funds.
Chart 5 exhibits the estimated receipts of the Government by sources of revenue, exclusive of postal revenues
for the fiscal year 1928. Of the average dollar to be received 70.48 cents comes from internal revenue, 15.95 cents
will be received from customs, and 13.57 cents will be derived from miscellaneous sources, which comprise interest
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 ,1928, Chart 2, are given in detail in Budget statement No. 9. The data
used for the income statement, Chart 5, are supplied by Budget statement No. 6; the data for computing the average
dollar for the estimated expenditures by functions, Chart 4, are given in Budget statement No. 12. 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.

DESCRIPTION OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNCTIONS
IN T R O D U C T IO N
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. 9 and 12 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 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 notes, bonds, 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
rive 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 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
redemptions included among the general-fund expenditures during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1926, amounted
to $872,977,572.71, of which 1487,376,050.69 was required by existing law to be made from ordinary receipts, and
the remainder, $385,601,522.02, 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 $383,079,095 for the fiscal year 1927 is reached after deducting the sum of $566,155,647
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 $949,234,742, or
an estimated improvement in the financial condition of the Government of this amount for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1927.
The estimated surplus of receipts of $200,703,863 for the fiscal year 1928 has been decreased by the inclusion
of $563,157,626 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
$763,861,489 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928.
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 fimds, 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 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 1926, compared
with the estimates for 1927, and the proposals for 1928, by main branches or administrative divisions of the Gov
ernment.
Statement No. 3 is a detailed statement showing the agencies collecting Government revenue by sources. It
supplies the actual revenue items collected in 1926 and estimates of the revenue items to be collected by the several
departments and other organization units during the fiscal years 1927 and 1928.
Statement No. 4 is a detailed statement of receipts, summarizing the items in Statement No. 3 by sources under
organization units.
In statement No. 5, 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 1928 calls for a total expenditure of $3,572,049,214, only
$980,919,365 is for the current operations of the Government. The latter sum, it will be seen, is $4,812,818 less than
the corresponding item for the year in progress, 1927. Nonadministrative expenses, including such items as interest
on the public debt, pensions, etc., call for the expenditure of no less than $1,537,009,970 in 1928.
Statement No. 0 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 1920 and is expected to
be derived in 1927 and 1928.
Statement No. 7 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 1926, 1927, and 1928, show a deficit and gives in
detail the expenditures made and to be made out of the postal revenues. The deficiency in postal revenueSj 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.
Statement No. S shows the transactions in various accounts, funds, and authorizations for the fiscal years con
cerned.

THE BUDGET, 1928
Statement No. 9 summarizes the estimates of appropriations by governmental functions for the fiscal year 1928
and the appropriations made for the fiscal year 1927. 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 1927. 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 by 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, (6) civil functions, and (<*) nonfunctional operations. This statement not only gives
the amount of money recommended for appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928, compared with the
actual appropriations already made by Congress for the fiscal year 1927, but it also shows the percentages of the
amounts: allocated to the different purposes.
\ ,
This statement will be 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 $117,599,821.26 is carried for general functions, which include the legislative,
judicial, executive, and the general administrative operations of the Government which can not be allocated to
specific civil functions.
' The sum of $1,301,737,565 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, $202,946,532; Navy,
$305,214,183.
The amount provided in the Budget for military pensions and allowances includes $221,000,000 for pensions,
$474,400,000 for World War allowances, and $25,942,886 for retirement pay.
The amount recommended for civil functions totals $469,467,862.41. Under this general function $11,778,120.13
is allowed for foreign relations and protection of American interests abroad; $42,064,420 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 wajr con-tract frauds; $6,820,850 for the control of currency and banking; $13,551,265 for the administration of Indian
affairs; $26,169,331 for the administration of public domain, which 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; $18,545,109
for the promotion and regulation of commerce and industry, which includes the activities of the Tariff Commission,

government, including the District of Columbia; and $12,000 for civil relief.
For public works under civil functions, $163,961,400 is carried, which includes $66,247,600 for rivers and harbors
proper and items of similar character; $75,000,000 for roads; $12,183,000 for Reclamation Service; $1,700,000 for
railroads in Alaska; and $8,830,800 for other public improvements and Government plant additions.
Under nonfunctional appropriations is carried a total of $1,367,796,760.93, which includes $26,233,000 for refunds,
losses, contingencies, and miscellaneous; $563,629,560.93 for public-debt retirements payable from ordinary receipts;
$755,000,000 for interest on the public debt; and $22,934,200 for disbursement of trust funds.
Statement No. 10 summarizes the estimates of appropriations by character and objects of expenditures for the
fiscal year 1928 and the appropriations made for the fiscal year 1927. It makes a distinction between those appro
priations already made and herein recommended for (a), current expenses, (b) fixed charges, (e) acquisition of prop
erty, (d) payment pf debt, and (e) payments for rights and obligations. ;

classified by governmental functions for the fiscal year 1928 compared with prior years. It not only gives the amount
of money spent but that which it is estimated will be spent during the current fiscal year and the ensuing fiscal^es*’.
It also furnishes the percentages allocated to the different functions of the Government. The expenditures given
for the fiscal year 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 “ Com
bined statement of receipts and disbursements, balances, etc., of the United States,” brought to the actual cash
expenditure by an adjustment figure.
Statement No. 13 gives the appropriations recommended and appropriations made by Congress during the fiscal
year 1927, compared with the fiscal year 1926, classified by organization units, including those appropriations made
by Congress for which no estimates were submitted by the Chief Executive.

t h e BUDGET, 1928
The activities of the Board of Tax Appeals, created by the revenue act of 1924, were broadened and increased
by the revenue act of 1926, which was approved on February 26, 1926, after the Budget for 1927 was transmitted
to Congress. Shortly after the passage of the new revenue law provision was made for carrying on the increased work
by adding $165,608.64 to the Budget estimate of $448,616 for the fiscal year 1927, and of the added amount $13,888.64
was made available for expenditure in the fiscal year 1926. The comparable amount appropriated for the fiscal
year 1927 is therefore $600,336 and the net reduction in the 1928 estimates $30,336. This net reduction is to be
brought about by a reorganization of the professional and clerical forces involving a reduction of approximately 18
in the personnel of the office and $17,900 in salaries, with corresponding savings in contingent and incidental expense
items.
The allowance for printing and binding has been increased $3,040 to provide for issuing the decisions of the board
in pamphlet and bound-volume form.

FEDERAL POWER COMMISSION

Budget estimate for 1928______________________________________________________________ 42, 500
Increase_______________________________________________________________________ 10,100
The increase of the Budget estimate over the appropriation for 1927 involves an increase of $3,100 in the item
of general expenses and $7,000 in the estimated payments to States. The increase for general expenses is necessitated
by an increase in the number of applications received for water-power permits or licenses requiring investigation by
the commission, and an increase in the number of permits and licenses issued requiring supervision of construction
and other work performed thereunder, as well as investigation of the fiscal affairs of permittees and licensees. The
increase in the amount to be paid to States is due to increased collections arising from licenses issued by the commis
sion. These collections constitute a permanent indefinite appropriation under the provisions of the Federal water
power act.

Budget estimate for 1928___________________________________________________________________ 6, 104, 967
Net reduction_______________________________________________________________________
48, 190
To the amount appropriated for the Interstate Commerce Commission for the fiscal year 1927, as above stated,
should be added $546,680.97 made available for expenditure in that year from appropriations for previous years.
The comparable amount available for expenditure in the fiscal year 1927 is therefore $6,699,837.97 and the net
reduction in the 1928 estimates is $594,870.97.
For the general work involved in the execution of laws to regulate commerce $2,376,939 is allowed, which is
$58,279 over the appropriation for 1927. This is made up, on the one hand, of an increase of approximately $67,000
in the rental of the building occupied by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington, and provision for
four additional attorneys to be employed on formal complaints, and, on the other hand, of a reduction of approximately
$36,000 in the gross amount allowed for personal services, which is made possible by taking advantage of the amount
which will possibly accrue during the year by reason of salary lapses due to vacancies, leave of absence without pay,
and like causes.
For the work in connection with the investigation of accounts of carriers $1,023,205 is allowed, which is a
reduction of $12,064 under the appropriation for 1927 and $276,064 less than is authorized to be expended in that
year, including $264,000 unexpended balance from 1926 brought forward. As this unexpended balance will be used,
if at all, for temporary employments and incidental travel and per diem, it is necessary only to refer to the reduction
of $12,064. The present force on accounts work is made up of 280 persons at salaries aggregating $796,270. It is
proposed to reduce the force to 267 persons, but to increase the salaries of those remaining to $816,055. From this
latter amount is deducted possible salary lapses estimated at $13,908, resulting in a net increase in salary payments
of $5,777. This is more than overcome, however, and the net reduction of $12,064 effected, by means of decreased
allowances for supplies, travel, and other incidental items.
For the related activities of safety-device inspection, signal and train control devices, and locomotive inspection
the aggregate allowances for 1928 are $29,230 in excess of the appropriations for 1927. This is made up of $42,704
increase in allowance for subsistence expenses of employees on a travel status to conform to the new uniform travel
regulation recently adopted and a reduction of $13,474 for possible salary lapses.
The allowance for the valuation of property of carriers is $1,306,325, which is $121,635 less than the appropria
tion for 1927 and $404,315.97 less than is authorized to be expended in that year, including $282,680.97 unexpended
balance brought forward from previous years. The amount allowed conforms to the estimate of funds previously
made for the last year of the three-year program for finishing this valuation work, including recapture work and
work under “ Order No. 3,” as follows:

allowance for employees on a travel status and reduced by $27,889 for possible salary lapses.
The allowance for printing and binding is $150,000, which is a reduction of $10,000 below the appropriation
for 1927.

forest road construction program but merely enables the department to meet obligations arising under existing con
gressional “ authorizations.” The remainder of the net increase for the department, $2,351,997, involves the fol
lowing principal increases and reductions: Reduction of $35,000 due to an appropriation in 1927 to purchase land at
Beltsvifle, M d.; a reduction from $195,366 to $180,366 for rent of buildings in the District of Columbia; a reduction

4,607,583
The net increase of $4,607,583 for the department includes an increase in the appropriations for the office of
the Secretary of $3,630,619, or from $2,825,231 to $6,455,850, made up as follows: Salaries, $254,500 to $285,600;
contingent expenses, $262,000 to $270,000; printing and binding, $1,688,231 to $1,815,000; aircraft in commerce,
$250,000 to $796,250; air navigation facilities, $300,000 to $3,219,500. The increases under the last two items are
made for the purpose of enabling the department to carry out more fully the program contemplated by the air com
merce act with respect to research and development, inspection and registration of aircraft, licensing of pilots, and
establishing and operating aids to air navigation.
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce receives an increase from $3,263,357 to $3,442,297 as follows:
For additional commercial attache offices, $335,000 to$385,000; for promoting commerce in South and Central America,
$333,090 to $358,090; in the Far East, $290,000 to $300,000; in Europe and other areas, $472,350 to $509,880; for
extending the district office service, $330,000 to $365,000; and for tbe further development of domestic commerce,
$165,000 to $189,160.
The increase from $1,974,000 to $2,118,200 for the Bureau of the Census will provide the appropriation for
collecting statistics, an increase of $127,000, from $931,000 to $1,058,000, to cover additional canvasses to be made in
1928. Salary promotions amounting to $7,000 are also made possible by an increase from $993,000 to $1,000,000 and
an increase from $50,000 to $60,200 will allow increased construction of tabulating machines to be used in taking the
next decennial census. The increase in the Steamboat Inspection Service from $1,062,670 to $1,080,060 will place
a supervising inspector at Pittsburgh at $3,800 and add $14,550 for the increased travel costs of the service. The
net decrease from $650,100 to $537,020 for the Bureau of Navigation follows a reduction of the department’s respon
sibility for the enforcement of wireless communication laws in accordance with a recent decision of the Attorney
General and the resulting decrease for this item is from $335,000 to $220,000.
In the increase for the Bureau of Standards from $1,940,385 to $2,175,000 are involved an allowance of $200,000
for the erection of a new power-plant building recently authorized; an increase in the salaries appropriation from
$567,320 to $572,060 to permit additional personnel; for testing structural materials, $230,000 to $240,000; for
investigation of textiles, $35,000 to $40,700; for sugar standardization, $38,160 to $48,160, to provide for the further
prosecution of investigational work in levulose; for metallurgical research, $43,140 to $48,140; for testing railroad

for standardization of equipment, $115,000 to $130,000; for investigational work in radioactive substances, $9,540
to $29,540, which will help to formulate standard specifications for the treatment of disease by X rays; and an
allowance of $5,000 for the investigation and standardization of dental materials. An appropriation of $50,000
for 1927 for installation of a master track scale is not needed for 1928 and the funds thus saved make possible many
of the above increases.
Allowances for the Lighthouse Service receive an increase from $10,154,481 to $10,644,250. The bureau per
sonnel is increased from $89,880 to $94,250; general expenses from $4,240,000 to $4,275,000; salaries, lighthouse
vessels, from $2,245,000 to $2,273,000, to provide for operation of new light vessel to be put in commission and for
minor salary increases; the salaries of superintendents and clerks are increased from $565,000 to $570,000 for the
employment of three additional watchmen at lighthouse depots. Retired pay receives an increase from $160,000
to $225,000, and salaries of lighthouse keepers is reduced from $1,970,000 to $1,960,000 due to the installation of
automatic lights. An increase from $350,000 to $609,000 is provided for the construction and equipment of two
new light vessels and the conversion of a lighthouse tender to an oil burner, and an increase from $484,601 to $638,000
for establishing and improving other aids to navigation.
The net increase from $2,336,670 to $2,338,590 for the Coast and Geodetic Survey involves the omission of
estimates of $5,000 and $1,000, respectively, for replacement of magnetic observatory at Tucson, Ariz., and for
Hawaiian triangulation, no longer needed. There is a decrease from $67,100 to $65,000 for general expenses and
an increase from $425,000 to $436,520 for office salaries.
The increase of $1,315, from $1,789,253 to $1,790,568 for the Bureau of Fisheries is larger than it appears
inasmuch as the following specific projects were included in the 1927 appropriations that do not need to be provided
for in 1928: Lake Worth, Tex., fish cultural station, $18,000; construction work at La Crosse, Wis., station, $4,000;

equipment for patrol boat Brant, $25,000; transportation of supplies to Pribilof Islands, $28,000; Warm Springs,
Ga., fish cultural station, $30,000; Colorado fish cultural station, $20,000; patrol vessel for Alaskan waters, $50,000.
The actual increase is therefore $176,315 distributed mainly as follows: Employees at fish cultural stations, $255,270
to $260,000; biological stations, $39,000 to $40,860; employees Atlantic coast vessels, $33,000 to $42,800; crews of
Alaskan vessels, $53,070 to $65,970; maintenance of vessels, $95,000 (exclusive of special project) to $140,000; fish
propagation, $405,000 (exclusive of special projects) to $427,000; scientific inquiry $57,475 to $67,000, including
$10,000 for investigating decrease in food fishes along mid-Atlantic coast; protecting seal and salmon fisheries of
Alaska, $312,000 (exclusive of transportation) to $322,000; new vessel for Alaskan fisheries, $60,000.
The increase from $2,722,300 to $2,797,300 for the Patent Office is further augmented by $20,000 that was charged
against the 1927 appropriation for a specific project. An increase from $25,000 to $75,000 is provided for additional
junior patent examiners and from $20,000 to $65,000 for steel filing cases.
There is an apparent decrease for the Bureau of Mines from $1,914,400 to $1,861,060, but the 1927 appropriation
included an item of $89,000 for oil shale investigation not to be carried on in 1928, also $5,240 for specific work hence
forth to be performed by the Bureau of Standards. There is an actual increase, therefore, of $40,900. The estimates
contemplate a new division in the bureau for the promotion of mineral commerce to which transfers from other
appropriations are made as follows: Investigating mine accidents, $15,370; mineral mining investigations, $49,090;
oil, gas, and oil shale investigations, $7,500; mineral resources, $123,000; and the total is further augmented by an
increase of $30,040, making the allowance for mineral commerce $225,000. Considering the above transfers, investi
gating mine accidents is increased from $388,130 to $390,630. An increase from $64,320 to $71,360 is also provided
for the care and maintenance of buildings at the Pittsburgh plant.

32, 755, 278
The increase for 1928, of $32,755,278, is caused by the increased pension rates of the Spanish War and the Civil
War pension laws enacted at the close of the last session. On July 1, 1926, there were 501,723 pensioners. The appro
priation of $192,000,000 for Army and Navy pensions for 1927 was made prior to the enactment of the above-men
tioned laws, and it is now believed that an additional amount of $41,000,000 will be required for Army and Navy
pensions during 1927. Upon this basis for 1927, there is a decrease of $8,244,722 in the estimates for the Depart
ment of the Interior for 1928.
The estimates for the General Land Office were reduced to $2,297,550 from the 1927 appropriations of $2,342,300,
through some decreases in amounts for field activities and other decreases proposed to be effected by the consolida
tion or elimination of certain expense items. Estimates for the Bureau of Indian Affairs represent a reduction from
$12,901,160 to $12,576,265, although they provide increases in items for education and for health work among the
Indians. The estimates for the National Park Service show a decrease from $3,698,920 to $3,277,105, the amount to
be made available for payment of contractual obligations on account of road and trail construction being decreased
from $2,000,000 to $1,500,000, with the amount of $1,500,000 to be authorized for new contractual obligations in
1928 remaining the same as for 1927. Increases are provided, however, in several of the park items for administra
tion, protection, and improvement. The estimates for the Territorial governments, including the same amount for
the Alaska Railroad as was appropriated for 1927, are reduced from $1,995,708 to $1,920,200, due to the fact that
appropriations for legislative expenses are made biennially, and that none will be required in 1928.
The estimated amounts required under various permanent and indefinite appropriations are reduced from
$25,638,900 to $25,179,000.
Estimates for the Bureau of Reclamation show an increase over the appropriations for 1927, from $7,556,000
to $12,183,000. Certain questions of reclamation policy have been under consideration by Congress for the last
two years, and during that time construction of new projects, or of new divisions of existing projects, has been largely
held in abeyance. With the determination of these policies at the last session of Congress, it is now proposed to
proceed with authorized new construction in the amounts estimated for that purpose for 1928. The estimate for
printing for the Geological Survey is increased from $92,000 for 1927 to $120,000 for 1928, to provide for the printing
of accumulated reports. The estimates for other expenditures of the Geological Survey are increased from $1,819,440
to $1,857,580, involving an increase in the item for topographic surveys from $451,700 to $515,000, and decreases in
certain other items. The amount for the Bureau of Education is increased from $864,100 to $921,220, by reason
of a new item for an investigation of land-grant colleges. The amount for the Columbia Institution for the Deaf is
increased from $113,400 to $128,000, for improvements to the light and power plant. To provide for the construc
tion of a girls’ dormitoiy, at a cost of $150,000, the estimate for Howard University is increased from $218,000 to
$368,000. The amount for Freedmen's Hospital is increased from $166,390 to $188,856, to provide for new laundry
machinery.

The Budget estimates are predicated upon providing for sufficient enlisted men to meet the needs of the service;
for a slight reduction in the number of ships to be operated, involving the decommissioning or placing in reserve of
certain old ships, and the commissioning of the two new airplane carriers; for the efficient maintenance and operation
of the fleet and shore activities; for carrying forward the construction of ships under way at the end of the fiscal year
1927; for continuing the work of modernization of the six old coal-burning battleships; for meeting the second incre
ment of the Navy five-year aircraft program; and for a further slight redaction in the number of classified depart
mental employees within the District of Columbia.
The net decrease of $9,246,475, mentioning the principal items of importance, involves increases for Naval

The Post Office Department must accept mail matter for transmission whenever and wherever it is offered.
The volume of mail handled by the Postal Service is constantly increasing, as is evidenced by the increase in postal
revenues. In these circumstances an increase in the expenses of the service is inevitable if the mails are to be han
dled efficiently and expeditiously.
In reviewing the department’s estimates of appropriations for the purpose of preparing the Budget the require
ments of good service are given first consideration. A secondary but important consideration is that the contemplated
expenditures should not exceed the estimated revenues, and if this is not possible, then the expenditure allowances
should be kept as near as possible to the prospective income.
In Budget statement No. 6 it will be found that the estimated postal revenues for the fiscal year 1928 are
approximately 6 per cent in excess of the estimated revenues for the fiscal year 1927. It will also be found that the
estimated expenditures for 1928 are approximately 4.25 per cent in excess of the estimated expenditures for 1927.
This spread of 1.75 per cent will result in reducing the estimated deficiency in the postal revenues in 1927 by more
than half, and if the same conditions can be carried into the fiscal year 1929 there is good ground for indulging the
hope that the postal deficiency, which in the fiscal year 1926 amounted to more than $35,000,000, will be eliminated.
If this desirable result is accomplished it will not be at the expense of good service. The net increase of
$19,163,812 for 1928 above stated is made up of numerous increases in allowances for activities affected by the greater
volume of mail to be handled, and some decreases in other allowances where the demands on the service will not be
so great or substantial savings will be made possible as the result of economies in administration.
The more important of these increases and decreases are as follows:
An increase of $74,740 in the allowance for departmental salaries so as to provide for seven additional employees
(including an assistant chief inspector), and for promotions to the staff which will result in advancing the average
salaries paid nearer, but still substantially under, the average of the respective grades.
A decrease of $45,000 in the expense of transporting supplies, due to better methods of routing traffic.
Increases of $9,150,000 in the item for salaries of clerks in first and second class post offices, and $5,860,000 in the
salaries of city delivery carriers, to provide for automatic promotions authorized by law and for additions to the force.
An increase of $1,605,000 in the item for rent, light, and fuel, to provide for additional quarters and space needed
for handling the mails and for increased rentals in the renewal of existing leases.
Decreases of $300,000 in the expense of village delivery service, and $200,000 in special delivery fees, due to
lessened demand for these classes of service.
An increase of $1,605,463 in the cost of the vehicle service, for the purchase of new trucks needed and increased
cost of gasoline and repair parts.
A decrease of $2,000,000 in the payments for inland transportation of the mails by railroads, due to an over
estimate by the Post Office Department in 1927 of the requirements for this class of transportation, the appropriation
for which in that year amounted to $113,500,000.
An increase of $995,879 in the allowance for salaries of railway-mail clerks, to provide for automatic promotions
and additions to the force.
.
.
.
An increase of $700,000 for ocean transportation of mails for foreign countries, due to normal increase in this
class of mail, and including $125,000 in contracts formerly paid from the appropriation for “ Power-boat service,”
for which a corresponding reduction has been made in this item.
.
An increase of $150,000 in the cost of manufacturing stamped paper, to provide for the collection of the growing
revenues.

THE BUDGET, 1928
A decrease of $350,000 in the allowance for the payment of indemnities for the loss or damage of domestic mails,
due to a marked reduction in the number and amount of claims filed as the result of better protection given insured
parcel-post mail, including the taking of receipts on delivery.
A decrease of $69,000 in the allowance for the purchase of stationery, due to economies in use of supplies arid
reduced prices.
An increase of $300,000 in the provision for star-route service, attributed to the normal growth of this service.
A reduction of $20,000 in the provision for the manufacture of mail bags and equipment, due to a reduction
in the number of locks needed.
A reduction of $94,000 in the allowance for the Rural Delivery Service, made possible by the consolidation of
routes, but without affecting provisions for additional routes to take care of new business.

EXPLANATORY SYNOPSIS OF ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS
A-115
The wide range of activities which make up the Treasury organization renders it impracticable to comment
on its affairs in a general way. In this synopsis, therefore, the comparisons made are based upon groups of items
pertaining to the principal branches of the Treasury service.
The summary above shows a net reduction in the Budget estimates for 1928 compared with appropriations
for 1927 of $6,169,012.63, but the estimates do no*t include provisions for the purchase of sites and construction of
buildings under the authorities contained in the public building bill passed at the last session of Congress. Owing
to the vast amount of preliminary work to be done by the Treasury and Post Office Departments before the amount
that will be needed in 1928 can be determined, formal estimates have not as yet been submitted to the Budget
Bureau and it is proposed to handle them later on as supplementary items. It is anticipated that the amount
requested will be approximately $20,000,000. On this basis there will be a net increase in the Treasury estimates
for 1928 of $13,830,988, instead of a net reduction of $6,169,012.
The principal factors involved in the net reduction, in respect to the branches of the service involved, are as
follows:
PU B LIC DE B T SERVICE
A decrease of $50,000 in the cost of current operations, due to decrease in work in connection with United States
currency, bonds, and other securities.
A decrease of $35,279 in the provision for purchase of distinctive paper used in the production of United States
paper currency, made possible by a marked reduction in spoilage incident to manufacture. The amount allowed
for the purchase of the paper, $1,421,715, includes provision for the completion of a three-year program for estab
lishing a currency reserve of 320,000,000 notes— 120,000,000 notes for a so-called “ manufacturing” reserve, i. e.,
allowing for an interim of approximately one month between the printing of the back and the printing of the face
of the note and another month before the completed note is put into circulation; and 200,000,000 notes for a “ vault”
reserve to be used only in an emergency. Under conditions prevailing before this program was adopted our paper
currency was put into circulation immediately after printing, while still “ green” and before the ink used thereon
had had an opportunity to oxidize. As a result the life of the bills was materially reduced and they were soon
returned to the Treasury for redemption. The expense incident to setting up this note reserve will not recur;
moreover, it is a measure of economy in that relatively speaking a much less number of notes will have to be printed
in the future.
A decrease of $305,500 in the indefinite appropriation for preparation and issue of Federal reserve notes, due
to a lessened demand for the printing of this class of currency.
CUSTOMS SE R V IC E
An increase of approximately $400,000 in the general expenses incident to collecting the customs revenue, spe
cifically to provide for increases in pay to the staff both in Washington and in the field.
An increase of $5,000,000 in the indefinite appropriation item of debentures or drawbacks, due to increased
exports of manufactured articles.
A decrease of $600,000 in the indefinite appropriation item for refunds of excessive duties, evidencing more
efficient work in the examination of merchandise.
D IV IS IO N OF SU P PL Y
Providing specifically for the expenses of maintaining the Division of Supply, the work of which is now carried
on by clerks detailed from other bureaus and offices. The amount allowed for the new division is $169,400, with
corresponding reductions aggregating $179,680 in the estimates of the bureaus and offices now carrying the detailed
forcq on their pay rolls.
Decreases of $10,000 in the amount allowed for stationery for departmental use and $15,000 in the amount allowed
for printing, made possible by economies in administration.
B U R E A U OF T H E BU D G E T
A decrease of $7,000 in the expenses of maintenance.
F E D E R A L F A R M LO A N B O A R D
An increase of $25,000 in the provision for miscellaneous expenses, due to making provision for the payment by
the board, from the fund derived from assessment on the banks, of the expenses of registrar’s offices heretofore paid
direct b y the banks contrary to law.
B U R E A U O F IN T E R N A L R E V E N U E
A decrease of $370,000 in the amount allowed for collecting the internal revenue, due to decrease in work.
An increase of $225,000 in the indefinite appropriation for redemption of internal-revenue stamps, made necessary
by changes in the new revenue law.

An increase of $23,250 for salaries of the departmental staff in Washington tb provide for increased work 'die
to additions to the fleet.
An increase of $1,123,813 in the general expenses of maintenance and operation, principally to provide for man
ning and equipping on a full yearly basis in 1928 the additional vessels and se&planes provided for in 1927 on an
11-month basis.
An increase of $1,366,000 to provide for the construction of new Coast Guard vessels. Under an act passed at
the last session of Congress authority was given the Secretary of the Treasury to construct 10 new first-cliss cutters.
These vessels will cost $900,000 each. In the second deficiency act, fiscal year 1926, $1,000,000 was appropriated
for beginning the construction of three of these cutters, to remain available until June 30, 1928, and authority was
given to place contracts for the completion of the vessels. The estimates for 1928 provide $2,&66,000 for completing
these three cutters and beginning two more.
An increase of $231,590 for repairs to Coast Guard vessels, due to additional vessels being added to the fleet.
bureau
or
E N G R A V IN G a n d
p r in t in g
A ’decrease of $514,810 in the provision for the production activities of the bureau, due principally to a Marked
reduction in the number of internal-revenue stamps to be printed and an equally marked reduction in the percentage
of spoilage incident to manufacture of paper currency. For a number of years the number of sheets spoiled in the
manufacturing processes has averaged 5 per cent. In the year just passed this percentage has been reduced at times
to less than 2 per cent. In the estimates for 1928 the allowance for spoilage is fixed at 3^4 per cent.
SECRET SE R V IC E D IV ISIO N
An increase of $35,000 in the allowance for suppressing counterfeiting and other crimes, in ordter to effect a reor
ganization of the service, some of the present field districts either being undermanned or coveriAg tOo much terri
tory for efficient management.
PU B LIC H E A LTH S E R V IC E
Increases of $25,000 in the provision for the pay of commissioned officers and pharmacists, necessary to provide
for additional amounts required for retired and longevity pay, and $75,000 in the allowance for pay of personnel and
maintenance of hospitals, due principally to additional expenses incident to examination of aliens abroad.
A reduction of $10,000 in the provision for pay of other employees, made possible by economies in administration.
A reduction of $30,000 in the funds allowed for preventing the spread of epidemic diseases, due to the fact that
unless some unexpected outbreak occurs in 1928 there will be no need for the extraordinary expenditures itt this line
of work.
M IN TS AND A SSA Y OFFICES
A decrease of $24,960 in the expense of operating mints and assay offices, due principally to the recommended
discontinuance of the Carson City Mint and the Deadwood assay office, and to decreased work and economies in
administration at other places.
S U P E R V ISIN G A R C H ITEC T
In line with the enlarged activities of the Supervising Architect’s Office under the provisions of the public TWiildings law, increases in the group of items for that office have beeii allowed to provide for new buildings and for current
expenses, as follows: $80,000 for repairs and preservation of public buildings, $18,300 for mechanical equipment,
$40,000 for vaults and safes, $14,510 for general expenses, $150,000 fofopefating forcte, $25,000 for furniture and repairs,
and $38,500 for operating supplies.
A reduction of $50,000 has been made in the provision for outside professional services, as it is believed that the
appropriation of $150,000 for this purpose for the fiscal year 1927 Mll be in excess of requirements.

posts, camps, and stations as now constituted, the estimates for 1928 for the three principal activities falling within
this classification, namely, barracks and quarters, water and sewers, and roads, walks, wharves, and drainage, amount
ing to a total of $8,734,781, an increase of $1,664,909 over the appropriation for 1927. For new construction at
military posts of barracks and quarters, with utilities and appurtanances thereto, there is carried in the Budget
estimate the sum of $8,600,000. Of this sum, $7,200,000 is chargeable against the “ Military post construction fund”
created by the act of March 12, 1926, and the balance, $1,400,000, is submitted for direct appropriation to provide
funds for new construction in excess of those, which will be available for this purpose in the “ Military post construct
ion ftind” in order to initiate the expansion of the Air Corps under the provisions of the act of July 2, 1926. There
is included in tJie estimate of $8,600,000 a total of $2,382,000 for new construction at strictly Air Corps posts.
Provision is made for necessary Army transportation, including the operation of the Army transport service;
for the purchase of 500 horses and 725 mules for the Army as replacements; for the maintenance in part of war

Various camps, posts, and stations; for the upkeep of existing fortifications and accessories, and for carrying forward
the general plan fos the protection of the Panama Canal.
For the Air Corps $24,396,300 is estimated, $20,396,300 being for direct appropriation and $4,000,000 for obliga
tion by contract, there being included in these figures the sum of $10,492,550 for the procurement of airplanes, their
spare parts, and accessories. In addition the Budget estimate makes indirect provision for the Air Corps to the

mitted for the pay and supply branches of the Army for the maintenance and operation and expansion of the Air
Corps. There is also included in the Budget estimate for the National Guard the sum of $787,500 for the procure
ment of airplanes, their spare parts, and accessories.
For the United States Military Academy provision is made for the essentials connected with its maintenance

The Budget estimate provides for essentials necessary for the maintenance and operation of the canal.and for
the sanitation and civil government; of the Canal Zone, and, in addition, provides for certain capital additions, including
$150,000 for continuing the construction of permanent quarters, $450,000 (plus $109,000 appropriated for the fiscal
year 1927) for a new municipal building at Cristobal, and $40,000 for construction and repair of sidewalks and
highways.
In connection with Budget estimates for maintaining and operating this great national asset the following
information is of interest: The investment in the canal and its adjuncts is partly for national defense and partly
commercial. T o June 30, 1926, the investment charged to national defense was $112,662,732 and to commercial use
$267,581,705, the total investment being $380,244,437, which is exclusive of fortifications, military posts, and sub

marine bases. The total gross revenues to June 30, 1926, amounted to $277,960,263, derived from tolls, taxes, and
business operations. Deducting from this the expenses incident to transiting vessels through the canal, $86,079,929,
and expenses connected with business operations, $128,414,088, which includes the value of services, supplies, and
materials sold, we get a net revenue, excluding interest on the investment, of $63,466,246. Of this, $58,393,183 was
from tolls and taxes and $5,073,063 from business operations. Included in the expense account for the canal are
fixed annual charges of $655,370 for depreciation and amortization of canal fixed property and $500,000 for depre
ciation on canal equipment. The amount of tolls collected has increased from $5,627,463 in 1917 to $22,931,055
in 1926.

The items comprised within the caption “ Salaries, etc., District of Columbia,” are increased from $1,735,300 to
$2,000,110. The increase of $264,810 is explained as follows: New items representing $75,120 for the office of the
register of wills and $110,000 for the recorder of deeds are required by the act of April 24, 1926, which provided that
beginning with the fiscal year 1928 the fees collected by those offices would be deposited in the Treasury to the credit
of Che District revenues and the expenses of the offices would be covered by direct appropriations. Similarly the
items for the Free Public Library are increased by $16,000 on account of the act of April 1, 1926, which provided
that beginning with July 1, 1927, revenues from book fines, theretofore available for expenditure, would be covered
into the Treasury to the credit of the District of Columbia. Further increases of $13,300 were allowed for additional
personnel and equipment and for rent of the branch library in Chevy Chase. A reduction of $15,000 was made,
however, in the item for repairs to buildings, due to the fact that major repairs costing that amount at the central
library building will be completed during the present fiscal year. The amount for salaries in the assessor’s office is
increased by $17,820 to provide nine additional employees on account of the additional work involved in carrying
out the provisions of the act of July 3, 1926, requiring annual assessments of real property. The difference between
the amount of the foregoing increases and the total increase under the caption “ Salaries, etc., District of Columbia,”
represents proposed salary increases within grades based upon efficiency ratings.
.
For 1927 the appropriation for paving and repaving roads and streets payable directly from the District reve
nues is $284,300; for paving and repaving roads and streets payable out of the gasoline-tax fund (including the amount
made available for the last few months of the fiscal year 1926), is $1,120,000; and the amount for street and road
repairs is $1,000,000; amounting in all to $2,404,300. For 1928 the amounts recommended for the above items in
the order given are $150,000, $1,350,000, and $900,000, totaling $2,400,000. For repairs to suburban roads an increase
is proposed from $295,000 to $310,000. The 1928 estimates contain a new item of $250,000 for replacement of the
M Street Bridge over Rock Creek, authorized by the act of July 3,1926, and of $18,000 for reconstruction of the bridge
over Rock Creek at Military Road. The item for construction and repair of bridges is increased from $40,000 to
$50,000. For trees and parking an increase from $78,000 to $90,000 is proposed.
An increase is recommended in the amount for sewers from $1,447,000 to $1,601,500. This includes a new item
of $60,000 for beginning construction of the upper Anacostia main interceptor along the Anacostia River between
Benning Road ana the District line, and provides for an increase of $100,000 in the appropriation for assessment and
permit work.
The amount for collection, and disposal of refuse and street cleaning is increased from $1,442,560 to $1,508,000.
Of this increase $10,000 is provided for the purchase of land for the garbage-disposal plant authorized by the act of
May 26, 1926, and the balance is divided between the items for street cleaning and for collection and disposal of
refuse.
Under public playgrounds an increase of $3,000 for maintenance is carried.
The amount recommended for the electrical department provides an increase from $952,240 to $978,780. This
includes provision for an additional engineer and three additional fire-alarm telegraph operators, $7,500 for replacing
obsolete types of police patrol signaling systems in the ninth and tenth precincts, $1,300 for installation of call-signal
ing system in the first and sixth precincts, and $9,000 for an addition to the storehouse.
For public schools in 1928 the amount proposed is $12,344,701, with authority to enter into contractual obliga
tions in excess of that amount by $1,195,500. For 1927 the appropriations amounted to $10,905,371, with contractual
authority in the additional amount of $850,000. The items for 1928 for public schools, exclusive of buildings and
grounds, carry a total of $9,278,766. The amount appropriated for 1927 was $8,609,371. The 1928 estimates for
buildings and grounds amount to $3,006,750, while the appropriations for 1927 under this heading totaled $2,296,000.
The item for salaries of teachers is increased from $5,564,300 to $5,783,740. Of this amount, $121,100 provides
for new teachers for varying periods of service during the year based upon class needs and probable date of occupancy
of new buildings. The remainder is required for longevity salary increases. The item for payment of annuities is
increased from $70,000 to $359,000 in accordance with section 7 of the act of June 11, 1926, directing the submission
annually of an estimate of the amount, calculated upon an actuarial basis, sufficient to liquidate, within a period o f
approximately 30 years after July 1, 1926, the accrued liability as of that date. The item for care of buildings and
grounds is increased from $545,000 to $575,000 to provide janitorial forces for the new school buildings to be occupied
during the year. The amount estimated for furniture and equipment for new school buildings to be occupied in
1928 is $199,691, as against $195,071 for the same purpose for 1927. This does not include a new item of $100,000
for equipment for the M cKinley Technical High School, which is carried for the purpose of permitting the installation
of certain laboratory and other equipment that should be installed during the construction of the building. An
increase from $85,000 to $100,000 is recommended in the contingent expense item for replacement and repair of
e x p l a n a t o r y s y n o p s is o f e s t im a t e s o f a p p r o p r ia t io n s
a 119
desks and other equipment. The amount proposed for textbooks and school supplies, $175,000, represents a reduction of
$25,000 from the appropriation for 1927. The progress that will be made during the present year in replacing obsolete
books warrants, it is believed, the proposed reduction for 1928. The amount recommended for repairs to school build
ings is the same as the amount for the present year. There is included, however, a new item of $100,000 for installing
fire curtains at the Central and Dunbar High Schools. The insertion in the text of the repair item of a provision for
electric lighting equipment is recommended.
Under public schools, buildings, and grounds, the following items are proposed: $275,000 for the completion
of the Gordon Junior High School in Georgetown; $85,000 for the erection of a 4-room extensible building in Potomac
Heights ;-$175,000 for the erection of an 8-room addition, including combination gymnasium and assembly hall,
to the Barnara School; $375,000 for completing the construction of an addition to the Langley Junior High School;
$275,000 for the erection of a 16-room building, including combination gymnasium and assembly hall, to replace
the present Langdon School; $125,000 for the construction of a 6-room addition to the Bryan School; $275,000 for
the completion of the Garnett-Patterson Junior High School; $150,000 for the construction of an 8-room addition
to the Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School; $1,000,000 for continuing the construction of the McKinley
Technical High School; $100,000 for the construction of a 6-room addition to the Crummel School; $1,500 for the
preparation of plans and specifications for a combination gymnasium and assembly hall at the Wheatley School,
witn authority for the commissioners to enter into contract for its construction at a cost not to exceed $75,000; $3,000
for the preparation of plans and specifications for the construction of an 8-room addition to the Morgan School,
including combination gymnasium and assembly hall and remodeling of the present building, with authority for
the commissioners to enter into contract for such construction at a cost not to exceed $160,000; $5,000 for the prepara
tion of plans and specifications for an extensible junior high school building in Brightwood, with authority for the
commissioners to enter into contract for its construction at a total cost of not to exceed $475,000; $5,000 for the
preparation of plans and specifications for the erection of a 24-room building, including combination gymnasium
and assembly hall, on a site already purchased at Nineteenth Street and Columbia Road, with authority for the
commissioners to enter into contract for its construction at a cost of not to exceed $500,000. The last four items
are proposed in that form for the purpose of adjusting the flow of work in the office of the municipal architect. The
municipal architect prepares his program of work for a fiscal year upon the basis of continuing approximately the
same force throughout the year. This requires postponement of the preparation of plans for some buildings until
toward the close of the fiscal year. The plans and specifications, for example, for all of the buildings for which
appropriations were made for 1927 will not have been completed until the end of that fiscal year; and the funds
appropriated for the construction of several of these buildings will not be required for expenditure until the fiscal
year 1928. The estimates for 1928 have been prepared upon the basis, first, of providing appropriations for con
struction expenditures in 1928 for those proposed new buildings for which the municipal architect will be able to
prepare plans and secure all or part construction thereof during that fiscal year; and second, of providing, in addition
to contractual authorization, merely the small sums necessary for the preparation of plans for those buildings the
plgns of which can not be completed in time for beginning construction work prior to the end of the fiscal year.
This latter proposal has the further advantage of permitting accurate estimates of appropriation needs.
It is proposed that $300,000 of the amount estimated for buildings and grounds shall be charged to the sur
plus revenue fund of the District (practically exhausting that fund), with the remainder to be paid directly from
District revenues. It is also proposed that the paragraph requiring construction of any building under only one con
tract except for heating, lighting, and plumbing needs, shall be amended to provide a further exception with respect
to painting and treatment of grounds. For the purchase of school building and playground sites in accordance with
the limitations of existing law the Budget contains an estimate of $157,250.
The amount recommended for the police department for 1928 is $3,087,740, while the amount appropriated for
1927 is $3,077,070. N o item is included in 1928 to correspond with the 1927 item o f $60,000 for the purchase of a site
and erection of a building for the fourteenth police precinct at Tenleytown. The estimates provide for the following
increases: $19,430 for longevity increases and for allowances as prescribed by law for additional men detailed to special
services; $5,000 for the purchase and operation of additional motor vehicle equipment; $5,000 for additional cells for
the seventh precinct station house, and $26,000 for one light and one heavy duty police patrol boat. The purchase
of these two boats, without additional cost for operation and maintenance, permits the elimination for 1928 of the
1927 item of $8,940 for harbor patrol, “ Personal services,” and a reduction of $1,500 in the item for harbor patrol,
“ Fuel.” For purchase of uniforms and equipment $75,000 is estimated for 1928, while $50,000 was appropriated for
this purpose for 1927 by the second deficiency act for 1926. The amount recommended to be authorized for expendi
ture from the policemen and firemen’s relief fund is $590,000 as against $450,000 for 1927.
The 1927 appropriations for the fire department total $2,233,270; the estimates for 1928 amount to $2,123,205.
N o items are carried in 1928 to correspond with the 1927 items of $92,525 for the Sixteenth Street engine house,
of $11,935 for additions to the repair shop, and of $20,000 for improving toilet and bathing facilities in engine houses.
The 1928 estimates carry $80,000 for two new hook and ladder trucks, three new pumping engines, and two new
combination hose wagons. A new item of $20,000 for a drill tower is also included.
The amount for the health department is increased from $351,350 to $355,910.
The amount recommended for the police court shows an increase from $115,770 to $132,820. Of this amount,
$10,000 is required for additional compensation of jurors due to the increase in juror fees provided by the act of
April 26, 1926, and $5,000 is provided for plans and specifications for a new police court building.
The municipal court item for compensation of jurors is increased by $1,000 on account of the new jury fee law.
The supreme court item for fees of jurors is increased for the same reason from $69,000 to $85,000. The item for
repairs and improvements to the courthouse is reduced from $7,500 to $2,560 due to the completion, in 1927, of paint
ing work costing approximately $5,000. The item for miscellaneous expenses is decreased from $44,000 to $35,000,
the difference of $9,000 representing expenditures for new furniture in 1927. The item for support of convicts is
X 120
THE BUDGET, 1928
decreased from SI50,000 to SI20,000. It is believed that increased accommodations at the District workhouse and
reformatory at Occoquan, Va., will permit a reduction in the number of District inmates of the Federal prisons at
Atlanta, Ga., and Leavenworth, Kans., sufficient to justify the proposed reduction in this item for their support in
the Federal prisons.
For the department of public welfare the amount of S3,416,495 is recommended. The total amount appropriated
for 1927 is S3,707,540. The item for salaries, board of public welfare, is increased from $80,000 to $90,400 to pro
vide additional personnel. The amount for board and care of guardianship children is increased from $120,000 to
$140,000, due to an increase in the number of children cared for. The item for mothers’ pensions is increased from
$75,000 to $85,000. The item for support of prisoners at the District Jail shows an increase from $101,500 to $108,000
due to the increased number of inmates. For the same reason the item for maintenance, workhouse, is increased from
$90,000 to $110,000; and the item for maintenance, reformatory, from $55,000 to $65,000. Continuation of the
program of construction of new dormitories and other buildings at Occoquan is provided in the estimates for 1928
through items of $60,000 for this purpose at the workhouse and $53,000 at the reformatory. Under “ Medical
charities’ ' the item for children’s hospital is increased from $20,000 to $22,000. The items for the tuberculosis hospital
are increased from $115,400 to $128,800 to provide for inclosing porches, alterations to elevator^ and improvement
of roads. An item of $10,000 for purchase of radium is included for Gallinger Hospital The item for salaries, District
Training School, is increased from $25,000 to $35,000, and the item for maintenance is increased froni $45,000 to
$56,700, on account of the large increase in the number of inmates that will be accommodated at this institutioii
in 1928. A corresponding decrease from $37,500 to $15,000 is recommended in the item for maintenance of feeble
minded children in private homes and institutions on account of the program to care for a considerable number of
these children in 1928 at the District Training School. The building construction program at this institution, for
which $147,500 was appropriated in 1927, is continued in the estimates for 1928 in the amount of $164,000 for two
additional dormitories, a cow barn, and a tool house. The 1927 items amounting to $25,000 for improvements td
buildings and grounds at the Home for the Aged and Infirm are replaced for 1928 by an estimate of $15,000 for rlew
laundry equipment.
. , .
The continuing annual increase in the number of District insane patients at St. Elizabeths Hospital requires
an increase from the 1927 appropriation of $1,000,000 to the amount estimated for 1928 of $1,200,000.
The completion in 1927 of certain major repair items carried in the appropriation of $25,000 fof that year for
the Columbia Lying-in Hospital for Women permits a reduction to $15,000 in the estimate for this item fof 1928.
Construction items for 1927 of $275,000 for an addition to the District Jail and of $300,000 for continuing the
construction of a domestic building and an additional ward building at Gallinger Hospital are not continued for
1928. The addition to the jail will be completed in 1927. The plans and specifications for the Gallinger Hospital
buildings are not yet completed, and in view of the fact that the 1927 appropriation of $300,000, together with unex
pended balances of prior appropriations, will provide $479,850 for construction expenditure after the contract is
let, it is not believed that an estimate for additional funds for this purpose is warranted at this time.
Except for a minor saving effected through consolidation of a number of small items, the 1928 estimates for
militia, District of Columbia, are practically the same as the appropriations for 1927.
The increase in the item for reclamation and improvement of the Anacostia River Flats from $170,000 to
$185,000 is intended to provide for the purchase of all the remaining land to be acquired above Benning Bridge.
The amount provided for work below Benning Bridge will complete that work.
The amount for general expenses, public buildings and public parks, is increased from $334,660 to $363,000
to provide for additional park improvement work. The items for salaries and for uniforms and equipment for the
park police are increased approximately $15,000 to provide for the compensation and equipment of additional men
authorized by the act of July 3, 1926.
_
For the construction of two bathing pools authorized by the act of M ay 4, 1926, an estimate of $150,000 is
recommended.
Provision is made in the 1928 estimates for the purchase of land by the National Capital Park and Planning Com
mission for park and playground purposes in the same amount and with the same limitations as are provided in the
appropriation for 1927.
The 1927 approprist’on of $49,000 for beginning the construction of the exhibition building for birds at the
National Zoological Park is followed by an estimate for 1928 of $53,000 for the completion of the building and by an
estimate of $25,000 for the necessary cages within'and without the building.
The project for “ Increasing water supply, District of Columbia,” will be completed in 1928 with funds already
appropriated for that purpose. When the water supply is put into operation and the Bryant Street pumping station
is dicontinued, there will be needed, in order to maintain the required pressure for the third high service area, a new
48-inch water main from the intersection of Nebraska and Wisconsin Avenues to Georgia Avenue afcd Military Road,
at an estimated cost of $700,000. It is proposed in the Budget for 1928 to provide for the construction of this main
next summer by an appropriation, to be made immediately available, of $300,000 from the revenues of the water
department, and of $150,000 from the revenues of the District of Columbia, together with an authorisation to expend
for this purpose not to exceed $250,000 of the unexpended balances of appropriations heretofore made for “ Increasing
water supply, District of Columbia.”
New items of $42,800 and $20,700 for laying water mains in Alabama Avenue SE. appear in the 1928 Budget, as
does also an item of $60,000 for the construction of an additional water tower at the Reno Reservoir. The program
inaugurated for 1927 by an appropriation of $50,000 for replacement of old water mains is continued in that amount
for 1928.
The total amount of the permanent and indefinite items is increased from $1,573,557 to $2,542,000 to meet
probable expenditures under these items in 1928.
Consolidation of certain appropriation items of small amounts has been recommended at different places in tbe
estimates in the belief that such consolidation will be of assistance in securing a more economical and advantageous
expenditure of funds.

Reduction____________________ ______ ______ _____ ________________________________

The reduction in the estimated expenditures for 1928 below those shown for 1927 is due to the continued curtail
ment of the outstanding principal of the public debt. On August 31, 1919, when the war debt was at its peak, the
gross debt amounted to $26,596,701,648.01. On June 30, 1926, the gross debt amounted to $19,643,216,315.19,
a reduction from peak of $6,953,485,332.80.
The interest paid during the fiscal year 1920 amounted to $1,020,251,622.28. As stated above, it is estimated
that the interest payments during the fiscal year 1928 will amount to $755,000,000, a reduction since 1928 of about
$265,250,000 in annual interest.

be furnished to departments and other establishments of the Government
upon requisition, and payment made from appropriations available there
for; for expenses authorized in writing by the Joint Committee on Printing
for the inspection of printing and binding equipment, material, and sup
plies and Government printing plants in the District of Columbia or else

direction of the Joint Committee on Printing (chief indexer, at $3,150, one

necessary labor, paper, materials, and equipment needed in the prosecution
and delivery and mailing of the work, [$2,400,000] $3,500,000, to which
shall be charged the printing and binding authorized to be done for Con
gress, the printing and binding for use of the Government Printing Office,
and printing and binding (not exceeding [$1,500] $2,000) for official use of
the Architect of the Capitol when authorized by the Secretary of the Sen
ate in all to an amount not exceeding this sum (act May IS, 1926, vol. 44,
pp. 550-552)______________________________ __________________________
N o t e . —It is recommended that the appropriation “ Salaries, office of the Public Printer,” b e
discontinued as a separate appropriation, and a portion of tbe sum heretofore annually appro
priated under that heading be added to and combined with the appropriation for “ Public printing
and binding, Government Printing Office." The reasons are as follows:
The Kiess Act to regulate and fix rates of pay for employees and officers of the Government
Printing Office, approved June 7,1924 (Stat. L. 43, p. 668), after passing in the House was amended
in the Senate so as to clearly state that the salaries and wages of all officers and employees in the
Government Printing Office were to be governed thereby, and the language of the act beyond
question included the salaried employees who happened to be appropriated for under “ Office of
the Public Printer ” and “ Office of the Superintendent of Documents.” The Comptroller General,
however, has held that inasmuch as those two appropriations carried a reference to the classifica
tion act, said act, and not the Kiess Act, must apply.
The salaries paid under the Office of the Public Printer are a definite and inseparable part of
printing and binding costs and are included in the charges made to departments. The work per
formed by the employees paid from said appropriation is closely connected and comparable in
every way with the work oi a much larger number of employees who are paid cut of the appropria
tion for “ Public printing and binding.” There seems no longer to be any good reason for two
separate appropriations covering identical work in the Government Printing Office, and especially
so when tne total expense under the two appropriations is ultimately applied to one object, i. e.,
the cost of printing and binding for the Government. T o carry all such expense under one appro
priation would be an economy and a more business-like arrangement. It is therefore recom
mended that tbe total amount now appropriated under tbe two appropriations combined be
reduced by $56,453, provided the combination of tbe two appropriations is made.
The present salary of the Public Printer is $7,500 and of the Deputy Public Printer $5,000. The
request for increase of $2,500 for the Public Printer and $2,000 for tne Deputy Public Printer is
fully justified by comparison with the present compensation paid a large number of commissioners
and heads of independent establishments, ranging from $10,000 to $12,000 a year. It is submitted
that the administration of the Government Printing Office requires specialized knowledge, experi
ence, and executive ability, and carries responsibilities fully comparable with any of these positions.
Further, there are numerous cases in the commercial field where administrative officers in
printing and binding plants are paid fro^ $10,000 to $25,000 a year, some receiving in addition a
substantial bonus, and none of tne establishments concerned do a variety or volume of business
comparable with that required of the Government Printing Office. H . R. 9459, Sixty-ninth Con
gress, first session, carrying the proposed salaries of $10,000 and $7,000, respectively, was favorably
reported and is now on the House calendar.

General object (title of appropriation), date of acts, reference to Statutes at Large, or to Revised Statutes, and estimated
.
amount required for each detailed object
OFFIC E OF TH E
N ote .—It is recommended that the employees under the office of the Superintendent of Docu
ments be included under the operation of the act to regulate and fix rates of pay for employees and
officers of the Government Printing Office, approved June 7,1924, for reasons stated in note under
“ •Public printing and binding.” The close connection between production and distribution in
the Government Printing Office makes it very advisable that wage adjustments under the Super
intendent of Documents be made in the same manner as those which have been made under author
ity of law to the personnel under "P ublic printing and binding.” It is estimated the neces
sary changes will require approximately $38,000 additional over tbe present appropriation.
This increase is more than absorbed by the recommended reduction made in other appropriations
made under the Government Printing Office.
The business of the Division of Public Documents increased in 1926 beyond any previous
year, as follows: Receipts from sales, $544,937.51,• an increase of $57,014.88 (12 per cent); publica
tions sold, 10,962,671, an increase of 3,191,789 (41 per cent); publications mailed for departments,
48,033,820, an increase of 6,982,064 (17 per cent).
