PUBLIC EXPENDITURES
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL
UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE
Annual Budget Within Sight of What
It Was During Days Before U.
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. ;

DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
NEAR OPPORTUNITY '
Between two and four o’clock last J
Sunday afternoon someone drove into
the barn yard of P. 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. About a dozen s
farmers were in O’Neill Monday
