ments, 1 cent; Department of Ag

treasury department, including ap-
propriations for payment of interest
on public debt and reduction of prin
' cipal, 46.5 cents; War department,
'including administration of Panama
Canal, rjver and harbor improve
ments and other non-military activi
ties, 9.9 cents; District of Columbia,
8 cents. The postoffice department
is largely supported from postal rev
, enne.
This clearly shows that the United
States is far from being a militaris
tic nation. In fact, in another chart
- furnished by the Budget Bureau, it is
demonstrated that out of fevery dol-
: lar expended , only 13.5 cents goes
to purely military and naval pur-
' nn cps in the interest of national de-
fense. The total expenditures charg
ed as "military functions are a&.i
cents out of every dollar. This in
cludes the 13.5 cents above mention
ed for strictly defense purposes and
19 2 cents for pensions, retirement
pay. Veterans Buieauetc.
According to this chart 34.4 cents
out of every dollar expended by the
government goes for what is classi
fied as "non-functional" purposes,
that is, payment of interest on pub
lice debt, retirement of principal of
public debt, etc. For the purposes
of "general functions' uch as cost
of the legislative branch of the gov
ernment, and general overhead of the
various administrative agencies, 2.8
cents of every dollar is expended.
For what are known as "civil .func
tions,"' which constitute practicany
' all of the adminiffi-ative agencies
of the government, 27.3 tents are ex
pended. A table accompanying this chart
compares the expenditures of the
1 present fiscal year and the estimaU
ed expenditures for the next fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1923, with ex
; peiiditures as far back as the fiscal
year of 1915. This comparison
;ihows a general reduction in all class
'of expenditures, but the greatest
reduction to be in the expenditures

A Municipal DUotel
Warrenton Plan May B Tried Here Petitions Being Circu
lated Calling For Election On $120,000
Bond Issue .
It appears that the ' citizens of
Beaufort are to be given a chance
before a jgreat while of voting on a
bond issue for the purpose of build
ing a hotel. An issue Of $120,000 is
the amount proposed. The plan in
view is-to erect a modern, brick ho
tel on some desirable site on Front
street,
Those who are promoting he mu-1
and twoin'c'pa' not' scheme have as a pre
cedent the one built some months
ago by the town of Warrenton. The
citizens of that town thought the
most practical plan to get a hotel
was to issue bonds and build it
which was done. Recently an ad
dition to the building was started.
It is understood here that the pro
ject has proven a success.
The plan of the local hotel pro
moters is to get a special act through
the Legislature calling for an elec
tion on the bond issue. Petitions
are being circulated, and a good
many persons have already signed
them, favoring the bond issue. Very
few of those approached have re
fused to sign the petitions.
Advocates of the new hotel scheme
say that it will not cost the citizens
of the town a nickle. They say the
hotel will be rented to a' first class
hotel man or some cmpany and that
the rent will pay interest on the bonds
and create a sinking fund that will
pay off the bonds. It is proposed to
create a hotel commission f five men
who will have charge of building Jeas
ing and general-oversight of the prop
erty. The General Assembly meets
next Tuesday and the plan is to have
a bill prepared calling for the elec-

If thfe election turns out favorably

Dear Mr. Swann:
Ever since my visit to your: town

committee I have been greatly con
cerned about you building program
there at Beaufort. Mobservation
on the subject are 'based upon the
experience of school boards in other
places where like conditions prevail.
1. The present building on the
courthouse square tf a complete unit
and does not permit of addition and
and changes without an unreasonable -cost
and radical changes in the orig-
inal plan.' , '-,
2. iii the first place," V the Fire
Commissioner will require that the
present stairways jdl be Uken out
and that towers J built al the end
of the building which . will cost as ,
much as $3,000. (tber. changes nec
essary will involve, an- exp'endituro
of at least-$3,000 oa inore.). -"
3. This 'amount of money will go -far
toward either , buying a new. site 't
or . furnishing ' and equipping a 'new
building. . - '.y'-,'';-'.-.;t;A." -fi-X,

more sensible and satisfactory in the
end to buy a site entirely away from '
the courthouse square and upon this
site erect a building so planed that ,,
it will meet the requirements pf the
