Six Thousand Millions7 In the last- six yoars Congress ha^ appropriated almost six thousand mil- liona of dollars for the expenses of the Federal Government. To be exact, ex-Representative Taw- ney shows that in the six years that he had been Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations the es timates of the Roosevelt and Taft Ad ministrations amounted to $6,061,257,- 132, of which Congress granted all but $165,662,264. For six years the ap propriations have averaged practically one thousand million dollars a year. The six thousand million dollars ap propriated in the six years under Roosevelt and Taft is about three and one-half times the total expenditures of the United States Government un- i der fifteen Presidents, from the inau guration of Washington to the be ginning of the civil war. It is double the total value of all the gold coined by United States mints from :592 to Dec. 31,1908. The six thousand million dollars appropriated by Congress represent over three-fourths of the total value of all the agricultural products of the United States in the year 1909. It is nearley double the total value of the foreign commerce of the United States both imports and exports, lor the year 1910. In fourteen years the cost of the United States Government has tar more than doubled. In the same period the expenditures for the army and navy each have increased fuurfold Over 70 per cent, of the total current expenses of the Government to-day are for preparations for war or on account of past wars.
