S. Entered War. Washington, June 19.—A compara tive analysis of government expendi tures for the last few years shows that under the present administration the expenses of the government are getting hack to normal. This analy sis has been made by Representative Martin B. Madden, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, who probably is the best informed man in the country regarding public ex penditures. The analysis shows the routine ex penses of the government in 1919 were $19,000,000,000. These expenses were appropriated by a Democratic Cong ress upon estimates submitted to it by the Democratic administrative officers. The cost of running the government in 1920 was reduced to $16,150,000, 000. A very large percentage of this drop in running expenses was due to • the fact that the Republican Congress elected in 1918 mercilessly slashed the requests for appropriations submitted to it in December, 1919, by the Demo cratic cabinet officers and other Demo cratic executives. For the year 1821 there was a fur ther reduction in government expenses to $5,600,000,000. This cut was almost wholly due to the action of the Re publican Congress in cutting down the estimates submitted to it in December, 1920, by Democratic cabinet officers and other Democratic executives. For the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, the routine expenses of the government will approximate $3, 947.600.000. This reduction is credited to the action of the Republican execu tives and the Republican Congress working together to effect a program of economy in public expenditures. For the fiscal year beginning July 1 next, it is estimated the expense of the government will approximate $3, 650.000. 000. This will be about the minimum of public expenditures for a period of years. Before the war, as for example the year 1916, the annual expenses of the government were about $1,250,000,000. The war period added approximately $2,000,000,000 to the annual fixed charges of the gov ernment. These fixed charges include the $1,000,000,000 annual interest on the $23,000,000,000 public debt, which the Democratic administration piled up during the war. It also includes the expenses connected with the care of exservice men,—the cost of hospi talization, vocational training, etc. It also includes the money raised by tax ation which is set by as a sinking fund to repay the Liberty and Victory bonds when they become due. It is impossible to dispense with any of this $2,000,000,000 extra cost until the / public debt is so materially reduced that the interest charges will be ap preeiably lower. Adding this $2,000,000,000 to the $1,250,000,000 which it cost to run the government under normal conditions prior to the war, we have the sum of $3,250,000,000, so that the estimated expenditure of $3,650,000,00 for the coming fiscal year represents an in crease of only $400,000,000 in the operating expenses of the government compared with pre-war times, or an increase of 32 per cent. To phrase it another way, the esti mated expenditures of the government for (he next fiscal year is $3,650,000, 000. Of this sum $2,000,000,000 is fixed charges in the form of interest, sinking fund and soldiers’ relief. This leaves $1,650,000,000 for the running operating expenses of the government as compared with $1,250,000,000 for the running operating expenses of the government in pre-war times. This is conclusive evidence that the present administration is working hard to cut down public expenses This vigilance is exercised both by the executive department and by the Con gress. Under the budget act each de partment, bureau, commission, etc., oi the government makes a very careful survey of its needs and submit to the budget director an estimate Of the funds it requires to operate on what it,,regards an economical basis. The budget director in turn reviews these estimates and in a very great many cases makes a reduction in them. After the budget director completes his review of all estimates submitted the entire budget is submitted to the Pres ident who reviews it. After the Presi dent completes his survey the requests are sent to the House of Representa tives Appropriations committee. It is sent to this committee because under the Constitution all measures providing revenue must originate with the House of Representatives, and log ically the same body which originates revenue measures must know how much revenue is needed. The House Committee on .Appropriations holds harings upon the budget requests. In most cases as a result of these hear ings the budget requests are still further reduced. SCHMAKDER DEFEATS VOKAC Andy Schmarder is the heavyweight champion of Nebraska. He won the title by laying away Jerry Vokac, the fighting Bohemian from Verdigre, in the seventh round of what was to have been a ten round go at the fair grounds Wednesday night before one of the biggest crowds ever assembled at a fistic encounter in northern Ne braska. The battle was an intense one from the tap of the opening gong, until Referee Ryan held up the glove of the victor in the seventh with Vokac on his knees and against the ropes dazed and helpless from a blow to the chin. The bout demonstrated that both men are great fighters and that neither has a streak of yellow in him. Schmarder by his clean fightinir bad the admiration of the big crowd and Vokac although defeated was as wildly cheered as the victor for the game battle he put up after being al most laid away by a blow to the chin in the last quarter of the third round. Schmarder is a great fighter and h,e is the only man in Nebraska who ever has laid Vokac away. Jerry says he cannot do it again and is anxious for a return match, but will take more than a week for preparation, which was the period of his training for this affair. During the entire affair both men found each other freely and there was terrific infighting. Except for the third round and the fatal seventh the partisans of each man claimed each of the rounds for their hero and a decis ion on either would be merely a mat ter of personal opinion. In the last quarter of the third Andy got to Jer ry’s chin and floored him, Jerry stay ing down until the count of nine and then staggered to his- feet, to be saved by the gong. Had the round had five seconds more to go he probably would have been laid away then. As it was he had to be led to his corner. Vokac showed the effect of this blow well through the fourth round but in the last quarter revived and came back strong, getting to Schmarder so that the latter was dazed at its conclusion and had to be revived with salts dur ing the rest period. The fifth and sixth rounds were fast and furious, but from the start of the seventh Schmader stepped to his man with the final result previously noted. There were two great preliminaries, the first being between Leon Dever eaux and Joe Zeimer, the former get ting the decision at the end of the fourth round, which was the conclud ing round as scheduled. Then Pete Deitrieh, the dandy little middleweight from Atkinson, mixed it with Ernest Smith, of Knoxville, in what was to have been a four round event. Deit rich had seven pounds advantage in weight of his opponent, weighing 154 pounds to the latter’s 147, but the extra beef didn’t do any good, as Smith, with the graceful lines of a telegraph pole, had a considerable ad vantage in reach. Smith started Deitrieh to bleeding from the nose in the first and in the early part of the second opened a cut over the Atkin son man’s eye, which interfered con siderably with his vision. But not withstanding this Deitrieh rushed him to the ropes once and almost put him out. Getting away however, Smith floored Deitrieh and the latter eti cided he had enough, so permitted Referee Ryan to make the count of ten. Automobiles from fourteen different counties were parked in the streets and at the grounds before and during the fights and delegations were in at tendance from all towns along the Winner line, from Omaha, Sioux City, Fremont and practically every town in north Nebraska except Norfolk, the •esidents of which place rarely ever ave their own bailwick to attend any kind of an event in any other burg. In fact Gene Huse is the first man ever to leave Norfolk. He now is down in New York and the Norfolk News is devoting half its space to telling in blackface type about his trip. Practically the entire town of Verdi gree, all of Knoxville and Verdel, and a great share of the population of the rest of Knox county came over to witness the goes. The Knights of Columbus and Promoter Herb Ham mond are to be congratulatd on giving the fight fans of north Nebraska one of the greatest boxing cards ever staged outside of the very large cities, Vokac before leaving for hia Knox county home Thursday morning, at The F’rontier office expressed his ap preciation of the treatment accorded him by the fight officials and the friendly spirit displayed toward him by the big crowd in attendance at the fight. He had no alibi and was satis fied with the decision. He expressd a desire to again meet Schader, either in O’Neill where he has fought most of his big battles, or at Verdigre, and is confident of reversing the decision at the next one. He will take mors than a week to prepare for the next one however, that short period being all that he had time to train for this go. ; RANDALL DOWNEY MARRIED Announcements have been received here this week, of the marriage of ' Miss Gladys Lucille Moore and Mr. * Randall Downey, at Billings, Mon- 1 tana, on Friday, June 9th, at seven < o’clock.

A. Cassell, living ) eleven miles northeast of O’Neill, in v the Opportunity country, and diliber ately loaded eleven shoats into their j truck and drove away without leaving -i an address. i, Mr. Cassell and family were visiting i at the home of a neighbor some dis tance away and no one saw the visi tors. A car with one front tire missing was tracked from the Cassell yard to c an adjoining county, but proved to be l someone who had stopped at the N Cassell place with a couple of %irls in ' a touring car. j The entire community is searching t for evidence that will lead to the re- 1 covery of the hogs.
