Y 1-26. Methods of electing presidential electors, 1788-1836.

The presidential electors of each State, now chosen by popu
lar vote in all States, are selected, according to the Constitu
tion, "in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct."
The development of political party direction of the electoral col
lege was not anticipated in the Constitution, and during the
early years of the Republic electors were chosen in the several
States by a number of different devices. The principal methods
were election by the State legislature itself, by State electors
popularly chosen to elect presidential electors, and by direct
popular vote for the electors. With few exceptions, presidential
electors have been elected by popular vote since 1828. The
Legislature of South Carolina, however, continued to elect
presidential electors until 1860. Since the Civil War, legis
latures have chosen electors only twice—in Florida in 1868
and in Colorado in 1876.
Y 27-128. General note.
The election of the President of the United States is pro
vided for in the Constitution, article II, section 1, through the
establishment of an electoral college in each State, for each
presidential election. The method of casting the electoral vote
was modified in 1804 by the adoption of the 12th amendment
to the Constitution. The number of electors, and therefore of
electoral votes, is "equal to the whole number of Senators
and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in
Congress." Because of the varied practices in choosing elec
tors in earlier years, the record of popular votes is inadequate
to explain the elections until after 1824.
In four elections the entire electoral vote of certain States
remained uncast: (a) 1789—no electoral vote was cast in New
York because the legislature failed to agree on electors; (b)
1864—no vote in Confederate States (Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Caro
lina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) ; (c) 1868—no vote in
Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia because these States had not
yet been "readmitted" to the Union; (d) 1872—the vote of
Arkansas was rejected, the count of the popular vote in
Louisiana was disputed, and the votes of both sets of electors
were rejected by Congress.

Some measure of the activities of the U.S. Congress can
be gained from the number of bills and resolutions which
have been introduced in Congress and from the number of
public and private laws which have been passed. The abrupt
reduction in the number of private bills enacted into law
beginning with the 60th Congress was the result of combining
many private bills, particularly pension bills, into omnibus en
actments.

It is generally recognized today that popular government
operates only through the agency of organized political parties.
During the early development of the United States, party
alignments and the function of political parties were neither
fully appreciated nor provided for. Party alignments developed
during the formative period, but designations for the different
groups were not firmly fixed.
In the classification by party, the titles of parties during
early years have been so designated as to be recognizable in
the records of the periods concerned, and also to show the
thread of continuity which tends to run from early alignments
into the present 2-party system. Inasmuch as the party of
Thomas Jefferson (generally known at the time as the Repub
lican party) has with a considerable measure of continuity
survived to the present time as the Democratic party, the
name later accepted by the Jeffersonian Republicans of
"Democratic-Republican" is used in the tables to avoid any
confusion of the early Jeffersonian Republican with the present-
day Republican party. Opposed to the early Republican party
was the Federalist party which was dominant in the first
national administration and which, with interruptions, can be
traced tenuously by elements of popular support through the
National Republican, the Whig, and the Free Soil parties to
the Republican party of today.

1950, vol. I, p. xix, and records.
The number of members in the House of Representatives
was fixed by the Congress at the time of each apportionment;
since 1912 it has remained constant. The 14th amendment
to the Constitution, in effect since 1868, provides that "Repre
sentatives shall be apportioned among the several States ac
cording to their respective numbers, counting the whole number
of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed." At
the time of the 1940 apportionment, it was determined that
there were no longer any Indians who should be classed as
"not taxed" under apportionment law.
Prior to the passage of the 14th amendment, Representatives
were apportioned among the States "according to their respec
tive numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the
whole number of free persons, including those bound to service
for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-
fifths of all other persons." (Art. I, sec. 2.) The original
assignment of Representatives for each State, to be in effect
until after the first enumeration of the population, and the
requirement that each State have at least one Representative,
are also included in the Constitution.

sentatives, by States, from adoption of Constitntion to
1950.
Source: Bureau of the Census, Statistical Abstract of the
United States, 1958, p. 350.
Membership is shown as at the date of the fixing of the
new House apportionment plus members added for new States
admitted during the subsequent decade. No reapportionment
was made following the 1920 Census, and no change in total
House membership has been made since 1912. Major boundary
changes affecting State representation in the House occurred
in 1820, when Maine was separated from Massachusetts, and
during the Civil War with the separation of West Virginia from
Virginia.

1 A majority of the popular vote was necessary for a choice. In case of a failureto elect, the legislature supplied the deficiency.
5 A majority of votes was necessary for a choice. In case of a failure to elect 1 ormore electors a second election was held by the people, at which choice was madefrom the candidates in the first election who had the most votes. The number ofcandidates in the second election was limited to twice the number of electors wanted.
3 1 district chose 6 electors; 1, 5 electors; 1, 4 electors; 2, 3 electors each; and 1,1 elector.
* A majority of votes was necessary for a popular choice. Deficiencies were filled
by the General Court, as in 1792. It also chose 2 electors at large. In 1796 it chose9 electors, and the people, 7.
1 2 of the districts voted for 5 members each, and 2 for 3 members each. A majority of votes was necessary for a choice. In case of a failure to elect by popularvote the General Court supplied the deficiency. In the election of 1792, the peoplechose 5 electors and the General Court, 11.
■ Each of the 8 districts chose 2 electors, from which the General Court (i.e., the
-e) selected 1. It also elected 2 electors at large.
I 1 district elected 3 electors; 2, 2 electors each; and 27, 1 elector each. The 34
electors thus elected chose 2 presidential electors.8 Each qualified voter voted for 1 elector. The 3 electors who received most votes
in the State were elected.
' 1 district chose 4 electors; 1, 3 electors; 1, 2 electors; 1, 1 elector.10 During the years 1804-1828, Maryland chose 11 electors in 9 districts, 2 of the
districts elected 2 members each.II The State was divided into 4 districts, arid the members of the legislature residing
in each district chose 3 electors.13 2 districts chose 5 electors each, and 1 chose 4 electors.11 Each district elected 4 electors." In 1796 and 1800, Tennessee chose 3 presidential electors—1 each for the districts
of Washington, Hamilton, and Mero. 3 "electors" for each county in the State wereappointed by the legislature, and the "electors" residing in each of the 3 districtschose 1 of the 3 presidential electors.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCES (Series Y 205-714)
Y 205-714. General note.
Governmental services in the United States are provided
through a complex organizational structure made up of nu
merous public bodies and agencies. In addition to the widely
recognized pattern of Federal, State, county, municipal, and
township governments, there exist many offshoots in the form
of single-function and multiple-function districts, authorities,
commissions, boards, and other entities that have varying
degrees of autonomy. The basic pattern differs widely from
State to State. Within a particular State, the various classes
of local units may also differ in their characteristics.
Identification and enumeration of governmental units is, of
course, a prerequisite to comprehensive reports on their ac
tivities. Thus, the report US. Census of Governments: 1957,
vol. I, No. 1, Governments in the United States, provides in
formation on numbers of governmental units by type, size, and
location.
The summary historical table from the 1957 Census of
Governments, reproduced below, presents the numbers of dif
ferent types of governmental units, for 1942, 1952, and 1957.

Comparable data for the number of governments are not
available for earlier years, principally because definition of the
concept of "a governmental unit" and enumeration of the
units in existence are beset with many difficulties. Professor
William Anderson of the University of Minnesota has done
extensive work in this field, and the enumerations by the
Bureau of the Census in 1942 and later reflect his contributions.
Anderson's classic monograph, The Units of Government in
the United States: An Enumeration and Analysis, first pub
lished in 1934 and revised in 1936, was extensively revised
in 1942 and finally republished in 1945 with an appendix
comparing the author's enumeration of governments with that
of the 1942 Census of Governments. (Public Administration
Service, Chicago, 1945.) Anderson reported 175,418 govern
ments in the United States in 1930-33 and 165,049 in 1941.
The 1942 Census of Governments adopted a more selective
definition, eliminating ' 9,729 school districts and 204 other
units from enumeration as separate entities. Anderson re
ported that he had "good reason to believe that the Bureau's
figures represent a more accurate enumeration." (Source cited
above, p. 48.)
The comparative totals reported by Anderson, on the basis
of his definitions and procedures, are summarized below.

The definition of a governmental unit employed in the 1957
Census of Governments (Governments in the United States,
cited above, p. 9) is as follows:
A government is an organized entity which, in addition
to having governmental character, has sufficient discretion
in the management of its own affairs to distinguish it as
separate from the administration structure of any other
governmental unit. To be defined as a government, any
entity must possess all three of the attributes reflected in
the foregoing definition: Existence as an organized entity,
governmental character, and substantial autonomy.
Characteristics taken as evidence of the "essential attri
butes" of a separately existing governmental unit include
organization, active operation, and the possession of specific
corporate powers; the popular election or appointment of offi
cers; the power to levy taxes or to issue debt that bears
interest exempt from Federal taxation; responsibility for per
forming a function commonly regarded as governmental ; public
accountability; and considerable administrative and fiscal in
dependence.
Despite the variety and apparent simplicity of these criteria,
the proper classification of some local governmental entities
remains doubtful, and in such cases, account has been taken
of (o) local attitudes as to whether the type of unit involved
is independent, and (6) the effect of the classification upon
the collection and presentation of statistics of governmental
finances and employment.
Two broad categories of governmental units may be dis
tinguished—special-purpose organizations, such as school, park,
and sanitary districts; and general-purpose governments, each
with a broad spectrum of powers and duties, ranging in size
from small village and town governments to the large metro
politan city, State, and Federal governments.
These diverse units can be represented by at least two
kinds of measures that are universally applicable: (a) the
number of persons serving in each governmental unit and their
compensation, and (o) the broad financial aspects of the
operations, as represented by revenues, expenditures, and in
debtedness. The collection and reporting of such data are
complicated by the large numbers and frequent changes of the
governmental units to be covered, by changes (often unre
corded) in their internal structures and external relationships,
and by the great diversity that exists in organizational forms,
employment relationships, financial procedures, the adequacy
and availability of records, and the categories and terminolo
gies used in those records and in public reporting. For the
most part, data for the Federal Government are derived from
regular personnel and fiscal reports, published annually or
694
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCES Y 205-253
oftener. Those for the States and large cities are compiled
from annual public reports or other official records of each
unit and its component organizational subdivisions; and those
of other local governments are derived from surveys based
on similar reports and records of carefully selected samples
of each type of government.
Complete censuses of governments, covering governmental
structure, personnel, expenditures, revenues, debt, and other
selected aspects of all governments in the United States, were
conducted for 1932, 1942, and 1957. Earlier periodic censuses
(for decennial years for 1850-1890 and for 1902, 1912, and
1922) were narrower in scope, particularly with reference to
expenditures and personnel.
The various censuses of governments and also the annual
reports on personnel and finances, differ not only in complete
ness, but also in some of the basic concepts and classifications.
Consequently, the preparation of historically comparable data
covering all governmental units is extremely difficult. As is
evident in the historical series for the Federal Government,
events and changing concepts greatly affect the comparability,
over long periods, of data for a single government. The prob
lem of continuity in concepts and classifications is greatly
multiplied in summaries for all governmental entities.
For such reasons, the consolidated historical series now
available are for selected years beginning with 1902. The
data available for earlier years are either inadequate for
classifications now used or require more extensive reworking
than could be achieved with available resources.
State and local government data in this chapter relate to
continental United States. They omit Alaska, Hawaii, and
possessions outside the continental limits. The District of Co
lumbia is classified as a local government.
For references to publications containing the original data
and statistics for individual State and local governments, see
text below for series Y 517-714.
For still another approach to the role of Government opera
tions in the economy, see series F 81-86, reporting Government
purchases of goods and services, in which the Federal Gov
ernment totals for 1938-1957 are subdivided between national
security and other purposes. For national income originating
in "Government" as an industry, see series F 32; and for
estimates of "Government product" in the national income
accounts, see series F 48.
Y 205-253. General note.
Statistics on government employment and payrolls in the
United States appear in the appendix to a comprehensive study
by Solomon Fabricant, assisted by Robert E. Lipsey, The
Trend of Government Activity in the United States since 1900,
National Bureau of Economic Research, New York, 1952, pp.
161-203. Fabricant and Lipsey relate their figures to the
government employment data for 1929-1949 and earlier periods
published by the Office of Business Economics and predecessor
agencies. The latter figures differ from the former chiefly in
omitting, for national income accounts, all Federal Government
employees abroad. Also differentiated are earlier estimates
prepared for the National Bureau of Economic Research by
Simon Kuznets in National Income and Its Composition, 1919-
1938, New York, 1941, vol. II, pp. 811-826. This study did
not have data from the Work Projects Administration-Bureau
of Labor Statistics compilations noted below. For reference
to other studies for earlier years, see text for series Y 251-
253.
The WPA-BLS figures, mentioned above, cover 1929-1939.
They were obtained as part of a larger survey of State and
local governments conducted in 1938-1943 by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics and financed and staffed by the Work Projects
Administration. Annual estimates of employment and payrolls
of State and local governments and the underlying detailed
estimates of States, by classes of governments and major
fields of employment, were published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in Employment and Pay Rolls of State and Local
Governments, January 1946 (processed).
Sample surveys by the Bureau of the Census began in
1940 on a quarterly basis, giving reports of January, April,
July, and October data. After January 1955, the surveys were
made annually for the month of October, except for 1957, the
year of the detailed census of governments.
School data prior to 1946 were from the Office of Education
and reported only in terms of State and local aggregates, so
that detail by level and type of government relates only to
the nonschool data.
Beginning with 1955, the Bureau of Labor Statistics as
sumed responsibility for providing monthly statistics on gov
ernment employment and payrolls. Census publication of
monthly data on a quarterly reporting basis ceased at that
time. Comparability between the payroll series compiled by
the two agencies was maintained, so that the payroll statistics
are continuous. Monthly estimates of employment compiled by
the Bureau of the Census include nominal employees of local
governments and exclude, during the summer months, regular
members of school faculties who were not paid for those
months. The Bureau cf Labor Statistics series excludes the
nominal employees and includes school employees throughout
the year. To this extent, it differs from the earlier Census
Bureau series.
The BLS employment and payroll data for 1955-1957 were
issued in a processed monthly release, State and Local Govern
ment Employment and Payrolls, with occasional issues carry
ing cumulative tabulations and explanatory notes. The em
ployment estimates (but not the payroll series) were included
also in the BLS monthly publication, Employment and Earn
ings, table A-5.
Both series Y 207-209 and Y 251-253 cover all types of
special-purpose districts as well as general-purpose local
governments and all branches of the State governments; and
both include the employees of government utilities as well as
of general government services and agencies. School employ
ment includes noninstructional staff and the educational em
ployees of State as well as local governments. Both tabula
tions omit military personnel and persons on work relief.
Federal Government employment and payrolls, series Y 206
and Y 224, respectively, are originally from the Civil Service
Commission for 1952-1957. Prior to 1952 these data are
basically the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures and, therefore,
differ in coverage and date from the Civil Service Commission's
historical tabulations for the Federal Government alone (series
Y 241-250).
Differences from labor force data.—Data collected from the
governmental employers, such as the Bureau of the Census
and Bureau of Labor Statistics compilations on public employ
ment referred to above, necessarily differ from government
employment statistics derived from broad surveys of the
labor force.
Data on the labor force, and therefore on government work
ers, are collected by the Bureau of the Census in monthly
surveys and published in its Current Population Reports.
These surveys involve direct personal interviews with selected
samples of households throughout the Nation. Governments
are listed as an industry group, and members of the labor
force who report that they are government workers are so
695
Y 205-250 GOVERNMENT
classified. However, these compilations do not yield informa
tion on the employment and payroll totals of individual govern
ments, types of governments, governments in specified geo
graphic areas, or the functions of public employees. These
aspects of public administration require the collection of
information from employing governments.
Moreover, statistics resulting from the labor force surveys
are affected by the shifts of individuals between jobs; by
movements of individuals from government to nongovernment
employment, or to unemployment or retirement from the
labor force; and by multiple jobholding and other factors.
The Fabricant-Lipsey study, cited above, compares the differ
ing approaches to analyses of statistics of governmental em
ployment and payrolls.

Source: 1940-1956, Bureau of the Census, State Distribution
of Public Employment in 1956, 1957, p. 7; 1957, U.S. Census of
Governments: 1957, vol. II, No. 1, Summary of Public Em
ployment, p. 13.
Data on Federal employment and payrolls were obtained
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics prior to 1952 and the
Civil Service Commission since that time. BLS figures were
based on Civil Service data. Substantially all basic data for
State and local governments were collected by mail surveys of
the Bureau of the Census. However, prior to 1946, data on
school employment were obtained from Office of Education,
Biennial Survey of Education in the United States.
Public employees, as defined for the purpose of the Bureau
of the Census survey of government employment, include all
paid officials and civilian employees of Federal, State, and
local governmental units. Employees of contractors, other per
sons serving governments on a contract basis, and persons
on work relief are not considered public employees. The term,
however, does include fee officials, paid volunteer firemen,
student help, and other persons serving on a part-time basis
even though they may receive only nominal compensation for
their services. Military personnel and their pay are omitted.
Full-time employees are those persons employed during the
pay period for the number of hours per week prescribed for
full-time work in the jurisdiction concerned. The term includes
temporary and emergency employees working on a full-time
basis during the pay period.
Payrolls, series Y 223-240, include salaries, wages, fees, and
other compensation earned in the calendar month by officials
and other employees. (Amounts reported for semimonthly, bi
weekly, weekly, or other nonmonthly periods are adjusted to
monthly equivalents.) Amounts reported are gross pay before
deductions for withholding taxes, retirement contributions,
social security, and other purposes. Full-time payrolls, series
Y 225-240, are amounts paid to full-time employees as defined
above.
Figures for State governments include, in addition to data
for the regular departments and agencies, data for boards,
commissions, authorities, institutions of higher education, and
other semiautonomous agencies of State government. State
employees include all persons paid by the State government.
Thus, employees of the public school system, usually a local
government function, are classified in North Carolina as State
government employees because their salaries are paid directly
by the State government. Some public school system em
ployees in Delaware and Maine and a scattering of such
employees in a few other States are similarly treated.
Employees on paid vacations are included in the data for
State and local employment. Those on extended unpaid ab
sence are excluded.
Figures for cities (series Y 216-217, Y 234-235) are for
city, borough, village, and—except in New England, New York,
and Wisconsin—town governments. They include boards, com
missions, and semiautonomous districts and authorities con
trolled by such governments, as well as the regular municipal
departments and agencies. In a number of States, some or
all of the public schools serving city areas are operated by
city governments, and city figures include their employees.
Figures for counties (series Y 218-219, Y 236-237) include
data for semiautonomous county agencies and for public schools
or school facilities operated by county governments in a few
of the States.
Data on school districts are restricted to independent dis
tricts operating public schools. They do not include data for
school systems operated by State, city, county, or town govern
ments. Between 76 and 81 percent of all local government
education employees in October of each year, 1946-1956, were
employees of independent school districts.
In addition to townships of the Midwestern States, which
have limited governmental functions and play a minor role,
township data include figures for New England, New York,
and Wisconsin towns, and Pennsylvania and New Jersey town
ships, where town and township governments are important
in the local government structure. The New England town
figures include school information in five States (all except
New Hampshire) in which town governments administer public
schools. Data on special districts are for special-purpose
units of local government set up to perform a specific service
or services in a local area, but which are administratively and
fiscally independent of the broader types of local government
having jurisdiction in the area. These units range in size
from drainage districts and other agricultural-resources dis
tricts having only intermittent activity or employment up to
such entities as the Chicago Transit Authority, the Port of
New York Authority, and other large-scale governmental em
ployers.
Y 241-250. Paid civilian employment of the Federal Govern
ment, 1816-1957.
Source : Civil Service Commission, records.
The data for 1816-1891 were compiled by the Civil Service
Commission from Official Register of the United States; for
1901-1911, from the Annual Report of the Civil Service Com
mission and Official Register; for 1908-1957, from the Civil
Service Commission, Annual Report and Monthly Report of
Federal Employment, and supplemented throughout by Civil
Service Commission records.
Prior to 1938, the data are for employees on the rolls, with
or without pay; for 1938-1942, the number on the payroll with
pay; and for 1943-1957, the number in active duty status.
Employees and officials of the legislative, judicial, and execu
tive branches are included throughout. Employees of the Dis
trict of Columbia are not included; they are considered
employees of a local government.
The figures exclude military personnel but include civilian
employees of the military departments. However, mechanics
and other workmen at army arsenals and navy yards are not
included prior to 1881.
The data for the Post Office, series Y 247, exclude contrac
tors but include substitutes, partly estimated.
Series Y 244 represents personnel employed under the act
of January 16, 1883, establishing the Civil Service Commission

and the competitive (classified) service. This service includes
all civilian positions in the executive branch of the Federal
Government that are not specifically exempted by or pursuant
to statute, or by the Civil Service Commission. It also in
cludes all positions in the legislative and judicial branches
which are specifically made subject to the civil service laws
by statute. Figures represent positions prior to 1947; for
1948-1957, they represent employees serving under competitive
appointment.

Data for 1929-1939 are derived from a WPA-BLS survey
(see general note for series Y 205-253). Figures for 1940-

These data differ from series Y 207-209 for 1940-1957 be
cause they measure average monthly employment in each
calendar year, whereas series Y 207-209 are for October 31
of each year (except for 1957, when the date is April 30).
In the annual averages for 1929-1957, regular teachers are
included for the summer vacation period, whether or not
they were specifically paid in those months; and nominal
employees are omitted.

Receipts and expenditures for 1789-1915 are based on war
rants issued; for 1916-1952, on daily Treasury statements; for
1953-1957, on the Treasury's Monthly Statement of Receipts
and Expenditures of the United States Government. Total
gross debt is on the basis of public debt accounts for 1791-
1915, and on the basis of daily Treasury statements for
1916-1957. For description of the Daily and Monthly State
ments of the Treasury, explanation of "warrants issued,"
"public debt accounts," and other pertinent items, see the
source, pp. 385-388.
The receipts and expenditures data exclude amounts re
ceived in trust and expended from trust accounts. They also
exclude amounts borrowed through the sale of Government
securities and amounts paid to retire public debt. Receipts
include the proceeds of sales of some types of Government-
owned assets, including land. For recent years, however,
proceeds from the disposition of some categories of Government
property (including sales of commodities and securities pur
chased and repayments received on account of loans made by
the Government) are reported as deductions from expendi
tures, rather than as receipts. Postal receipts and expen
ditures are included net for each year throughout the series;
that is, a postal surplus is included in receipts and a postal
deficit in expenditures.
Subject to the foregoing qualifications, figures for Federal
Government receipts (series Y 254) represent "total receipts"
through 1930 and "net receipts" thereafter. In determining
net receipts, the following items are deducted from total
receipts :
Refunds of receipts, principally for the overpayment of
taxes, 1931-1957. (For earlier years, such refunds are in
cluded in expenditures.)
Transfers of tax receipts to the Federal old-age and survi
vors insurance trust fund, 1937-1957; to the railroad retire
ment account, 1938-1957; to the Federal disability insurance
trust fund and the highway trust fund, 1957.
Capital transfers, consisting of payments to the Treasury
principally by wholly owned Government corporations for
retirement of capital stock and for disposition of earnings.
(Although the exclusion applies to all fiscal years for
1931-1957, the only transfer of this kind identified for
1931-1939 was an item of $250 thousand in 1937.)
Figures for expenditures for 1931-1957 likewise are net of
refunds paid and of capital transfers, but include any such
payments in earlier years. For 1951-1957, investments of
wholly owned Government corporations in public debt securities
are excluded.
The surplus or deficit (series Y 256) is the difference be
tween receipts and expenditures in any fiscal year. The
change in public debt during any year is usually determined in
large part by the surplus or deficit; it is, however, affected
also by the increase or decrease in the Treasury cash balance
and by various other financial operations. Consequently, there
is only an approximate relationship between series Y 256 and
the year-to-year differences in the debt reported in series
Y 257.

other aspects of the public debt, see text for series Y 368-379.

In a statement on "Some Historical Aspects of Federal
Fiscal Policy, 1790-1956" (in Federal Expenditure Policy for
Economic Growth and Stability, papers submitted by panel
ists appearing before the Subcommittee on Fiscal Policy, Joint
Economic Committee, 85th Congress, 1st sess., Nov. 5, 1957,
Joint Committee Print, pp. 60-83), the official historical series
on Federal receipts and expenditures—such as series Y 254
and Y 255—were characterized by Professor Paul B. Trescott
as subject to "certain deficiencies for the economist" stemming
in part from "capricious patterns of inclusion and exclusion."
Important before 1870, according to Trescott, was lack of con
formity between the accounts of the Treasury, which the official
data summarize, and the accounts of the collecting and dis
bursing officers who actually dealt with the public. He re
ported that the payment of $28 million of surplus revenue to
the States in 1837 was omitted from Treasury accounts; that
more than $100 million reported in Treasury figures of ex
penditures in the Civil War years was accumulated in disbursing
officers' balances; and that various other adjustments were
desirable. In compiling alternative totals of receipts and ex
penditures on the basis of various official records additional
697
Y 258-279 GOVERNMENT
to Treasury accounts, Trescott has adopted special concepts,
so that the resulting totals are designed primarily to measure
money-flows. To some extent, his work incorporates a revised
expenditure series compiled by M. Slade Kendrick in A
Century and a Half of Federal Expenditures, National Bureau
of Economic Research, New York, Occasional Paper 48, revised,
1955. Kendrick's data are as nearly as possible on a cash-
payment basis for 1917-1952 (see Appendix B, especially
p. 67).

States Government.
These data exclude receipts from borrowing. For the dis
tinction between "total receipts" (series Y 259) and "net re
ceipts" (series Y 258), see text for series Y 254-257. In
recent years, these totals have been designated in the Presi
dent's annual budget and in Treasury reports as "Gross budget
receipts" and "Net budget receipts"; and the Bureau of the
Budget, Budget of the United States Government, has included
annually a special analysis giving detailed explanations and
comparisons for the last-completed fiscal year, the current
year, and the budget year.
In both the "total" and the "net" receipts, postal receipts
are included net for each year when they exceeded postal
expenditures, and they are included only to the extent of any
such excess. For historical series relating to postal receipts
and expenditures for 1789-1957, see the Annual Report of the
Secretary of the Treasury, 1946, pp. 419-421, and 1958, p. 461.

The three Annual Reports overlap as to years covered. To
the extent that they differ in the grouping of items in any
given year, the tabulation shown here generally follows the
later compilation; however, some exceptions are indicated
below.
In Historical Statistics of the United States, 1789-1945,
series P 109-119, the corresponding figures exclude trust fund
receipts for 1935-1945. The data shown here for series Y 264-
279 follow later Treasury practice by including, among internal
revenue collections, all taxes collected by the Internal Rev
enue Service, whether assigned to general revenue or to trust
funds.
These data are from Internal Revenue Service reports of
collections. They differ from figures shown in other series,
particularly series Y 261 (although the deviations in some
years are small and the two series agree for 1904, 1909, 1955,
and 1957). The variations reflect differences in the time or
stage of operations when the receipts are recorded. Taxes are
included in budget receipts when reported in the account of
the Treasurer of the United States. Internal Revenue Service
reports of collections through 1954 included taxes for which
returns (and payments) had been received in internal revenue
offices. Under arrangements begun in 1950 for withheld
individual income tax and old-age and survivors insurance
taxes, and later extended to railroad retirement taxes and
many excises, these taxes are paid directly into Treasury
depositaries. The depositary receipts, issued as evidence of
such payment, are attached to quarterly returns submitted to
the Internal Revenue Service by employers and taxpayers.
Under this procedure, the amounts are included in budget
receipts in the month and year when the depositary receipts
are issued.
Effective July 1, 1954, this accounting practice was extended
to Internal Revenue Service reports of collections, so that the
reported collections after fiscal 1954 likewise include depositary
receipts in the month when the depositary receipts are issued.
Excise taxes paid into depositaries cannot be fully classified
in terms of specific taxes until the supporting returns are
received. Consequently, the collections shown for designated
excise taxes in fiscal years after 1954 are subject to an un
distributed adjustment. (For the amounts involved, see
Annual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, 1958, p. 458.)
The principal taxes included in totals but not shown sepa
rately are as follows :
1863-1915. Income and profits, largely 1863-1874 and
1914-1915 (see comments below for series Y 265) ; corpora
tion excise, 1910-1914; occupational (special) taxes, 1863-
1871, 1898-1902, and 1916.
1916-1957. Occupational (special) taxes, 1916-1928; in
surance, 1918-1922; soft drinks, 1918-1924; and agricultural
adjustment taxes, 1934-1936.
Y 264, total collections. For items included in this series
but not shown separately in series Y 264-279, see source pub
lications.
Y 265, individual income taxes. Although not shown sepa
rately for 1863-1915, this was an important tax source under
revenue legislation enacted during the Civil War. The first
collections in 1863 and for other years are shown below as
tabulated in the Annual Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, 1929, p. 419.

The income tax legislation of the Civil War period expired
in 1871 (see text for series Y 292-311). The collections in
1895 were under an act of 1894 that was declared unconstitu
tional. This type of tax was not imposed in other years
during 1872-1913. The amounts shown in table III for 1873,
1874, 1876, 1881, and 1884 were late collections.
Separate figures for the individual income tax collections are
not available for 1914, 1915, and 1918-1924.
Since 1951, withheld income taxes and old-age and survivors
insurance taxes on employees and employers, and since 1957,
disability insurance taxes on employees and employers have
been paid into the Treasury in combined amounts without
separation as to type of tax. Similarly, for the same periods,
the old-age and survivors insurance and the disability insur
ance taxes on self-employment incomes have been paid in
combination with income tax other than that withheld. The
distribution of these collections by type of tax is based on
estimates made in accordance with section 201(a) of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 401(a)). Included in income taxes
withheld by employers for 1951-1956 are amounts subse
quently transferred to the Government of Guam under an
act approved August 1, 1950 (48 U.S.C. 1421h). For 1957,
these amounts are excluded.

For 1914, 1915, and 1918-1924, the Treasury reports do
not separate corporate income tax from individual income tax
collections.
Collections shown for 1952-1957 include taxes on business
income of exempt corporations. Also included is the income
tax on the Alaska Railroad, which was repealed for taxable
years after June 30, 1952.
Y 267, employment taxes. Comprises the employer, em
ployee, and self-employed taxes for the Federal old-age, sur
vivors, and disability insurance system; the Federal unemploy
ment insurance tax on employers; and the railroad retirement
tax on employers and employees. Collections are received in
combination with individual income taxes and the distribution
by type of tax is based on estimates, as noted above in text
for series Y 265.
Omitted from this series are railroad unemployment insur
ance contributions, collected by the Railroad Retirement Board
under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act of 1938, as
amended (45 U.S.C. 360). Although based on payrolls, this
levy is not considered an internal revenue tax.
State unemployment insurance taxes also are not internal
revenue collections, although the proceeds are deposited in the
unemployment trust fund in the Federal Treasury.
Y 268, estate and gift taxes. Comprises, for 1863-1871 and
1899-1907, taxes on legacies, successions, and inheritances.
The estate and gift taxes are shown separately for 1917 and
later in the Treasury reports cited above. The figures for
1917-1924 and 1927-1932, inclusive, are for estate tax only.
As indicated below for series Y 333-342, estate tax rate in
creases under the Revenue Act of June 2, 1924, were repealed
retroactively February 26, 1926. Gift tax rates levied in 1924
were also reduced retroactively by the act of 1926. Estate
and gift tax collections reported for 1925 and 1926 may in
clude amounts collected at the higher rates and subsequently
refunded; the refunds were reported as expenditures rather
than as deductions from revenue. (See Bureau of Internal
Revenue, Statistics of Income, 1946, part 1 pp. 430-431; An
nual Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, 1926, pp. 291
and 350; 1927, pp. 965-966.)
Y 269-277 and Y 279, excise taxes. Series Y 269, excise
taxes total, and series Y 272, manufacturers' excise tax sub
total, are shown for years in which these totals appear in the
Treasury annual reports cited above. Taxes of these types
were collected also in other years.
For the years for which they are shown, these totals include
various taxes not specified in the table. The "manufacturers'
excise taxes" include special taxes relating to manufacture and
sale. For 1863-1868, the manufacturers' excise subtotal in
cludes a tax on raw cotton. For 1916-1957, the series includes
taxes on sales under the act of October 22, 1914; manu
facturers', consumers', and dealers' excise taxes under war
revenue and subsequent acts; and for 1932 and later, manufac
turers' excises under the act of 1932, as amended. Excise
taxes on soft drinks are in the total for series Y 269 but not
in series Y 272.
Y 270, alcohol. Comprises taxes on distilled spirits, beer,
wines, and other products and includes occupational taxes.
Includes amounts collected by the customs service on imports
of distilled spirits and beer. For 1954-1957, the reported
amounts include taxes collected in Puerto Rico on alcohol
products of Puerto Rican manufacture coming into the United
States ; for prior years, this is excluded.
Y 271, tobacco. Comprises taxes on cigarettes, cigars, and
other tobacco products. Amounts reported for 1954-1957 in
clude tax collected in Puerto Rico on Puerto Rican tobacco
products coming into the United States; excluded prior to 1954.
Y 273, automobiles and accessories. Combines the Treasury
series for "passenger automobiles and motorcycles," "automo
bile trucks and busses," and "parts and accessories for auto
mobiles."
Y 276, admissions. Comprises "general admissions" and
"cabarets," as shown separately in the Annual Report of the
Secretary of the Treasury, 1958, p. 457, for 1929-1957.
Y 277, telephone, telegraph, radio, and cable facilities. In
cludes in all years the taxes on "telephone, telegraph, radio,
and cable facilities," and also, for 1942 and later, the tax on
"local telephone services."
Y 278, capital stock tax. This tax was not levied for years
ending in the period July 1, 1926, through June 30, 1932, and
for years ending after June 30, 1945. Collections after the
fiscal year 1950 are included in excises, series Y 269.

used to identify the "income year." For the "income year"
1956, for example, 50.7 percent of the returns were for account
ing periods that ended in December 1956; 17.6 percent for
periods that ended during July-November 1956; 26.4 percent
for periods that ended in the first half of 1957; and 5.2
percent, part-year returns.
Data for 1909-1915 are from returns received during the
fiscal year beginning July 1 of the year specified. The data
for 1915 include information from approximately 32,000 returns
received during the preceding fiscal year.
Data are based on returns as filed, prior to audit adjust
ments, carrybacks, renegotiation of war contracts, or other
changes made after the returns were filed. For 1951-1956,
data are based on a probability sample described in the annual
Statistics of Income. Only the most important changes in law
affecting historical comparability of the data can be noted
here; others are specified in the annual Statistics of Income—
for example, the varying provisions regarding life insurance
company taxation.
Because of consolidated returns for affiliated corporations,
the number of returns (series Y 280, Y 281, Y 285, and
Y 291) is not the same as the number of corporations.
Total compiled receipts of the corporations (series Y 282
and Y 286) include gross sales and receipts from operations,
interest less amortizable bond premium, rents, royalties, net
gain from capital assets (as defined by law) and other property,
dividends, and other taxable income—all before "compiled de
ductions." These series also include nontaxable dividends from
domestic corporations for 1918-1935 and nontaxable interest,
but exclude all other nontaxable income. The data for 1916-
1922 represent gross income. This was smaller than the total
compiled receipts by the amounts of wholly tax-exempt interest
received on certain government obligations and, for 1918-1921,
of nontaxable dividends.
Compiled deductions include the cost of goods sold and
(beginning in 1932) the cost of operations, as well as other
negative amounts reported under sources of income.
Net income (less deficit) (series Y 283 and Y 287) is gross
taxable income less allowable current-year deductions, except
statutory deductions for dividends and Western Hemisphere
trade corporations. This category excludes tax-exempt inter
est on government obligations and, for 1918-1935, dividends
from domestic corporations; these are included in total com
piled receipts. Beginning in 1936, contributions or gifts were
deductible in determining net income. A deduction for amorti
zation of emergency facilities was first allowable in 1940; the
deduction was later extended to grain facilities and other
items.
Income tax (series Y 288), as shown for 1909-1915, repre
sents tax collections. For 1909-1912, these amounts correspond
to the corporate excise tax collections noted for the fiscal years
1910-1913 in the text for series Y 266, above. For the income
year 1913, the amount represents income tax and excise tax.
Beginning with 1916, "income tax" is the tax liability on the
returns, but before deduction of credit for taxes paid to
foreign countries or U.S. possessions. For 1936-1938, the
amounts include surtax on undistributed profits, as well as
normal tax. For 1940 and 1941, the series includes the income
defense tax; for 1941-1956, normal tax and surtax; and for
1942-1956, alternative tax.
Excess profits tax (series Y 289) for 1917-1922 comprises
war profits tax and excess profits tax, and for 1933-1945, a
declared-value excess profits tax effective for tax years that
ended before July 1, 1946. Data for 1940 include the declared-
value excess profits defense tax, and for 1940-1946, the excess
profits tax under the Second Revenue Act of 1940. Amounts
for 1942-1944 are for tax liability on the excess profits tax
returns less a credit for debt retirement and the net postwar
refund. Deferments under section 710(a) (5) of the 1939 In
ternal Revenue Code (relating to abnormalities under section
722) are reflected in the data for 1942 but not for 1943-1946.
Amounts for 1943-1946 are after adjustments under various
other relief provisions. The data for 1950-1954 are for the
excess profits tax effective with respect to tax years from
July 1, 1950, to December 31, 1953. For all years, the tax
shown is before credit for foreign taxes paid.
Dividends paid (series Y 284 and Y 290) exclude liquidating
dividends. They include all other dividends. In including
dividends paid in the corporation's own stock, this series differs
from similar series published elsewhere (e.g., Bureau of the
Census, Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1958, p. 381,
and Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income, 1956-57,
Corporation Income Tax Returns, p. 120). For selected years,
the amounts paid in stock, as included in the historical table,
are as shown in table VI.

dividual income tax returns, annual issues.
The data represent returns of residents and citizens, includ
ing those with addresses outside Alaska, Hawaii, and continen
tal United States. Detailed tabulations for each year, 1948-
1957, with data by levels of gross income and by States, appear
in Statistics of Income, 1957, Individual Income Tax Returns,
1959, pp. 60-67.
As noted above in the text for internal revenue collections
(series Y 265), the individual income tax has been a continu
ing element of the revenue system since 1913, but was included
in Federal revenue legislation in two earlier periods.
During the Civil War decade, this tax was included in the
first revenue act of the war, in 1861, at a flat rate of 3
percent on incomes above $800. Before the initial rate took
effect, it was superseded in 1862 by rates of 3 percent on up
to $10,000, 5 percent above that amount of net income, and
an individual exemption of $600. Rates were raised further
in 1864. The highest rates, levied for a single year, were 10
percent on net income of $600 to $5,000, 12.5 percent on $5,000
to $10,000, and 15 percent above $15,000. In 1867, the rate
became a flat 5 percent on income of more than $1,000; for
1870 and 1871, the rate was 2.5 percent and the exemption
$2,000. The law expired at the end of 1871.
An individual income tax law adopted in 1894 was patterned
generally after the law of 1867. It provided a 2 percent tax
rate on individual and corporate net income, with a $4,000
exemption for individuals. Personal property received by gift
or inheritance was to be included in net income. The act was
declared unconstitutional in 1895 in a Supreme Court decision
(Pollock v. Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., 157 U.S. 429, 158
U.S. 601). The personal income tax was not again levied until
after adoption in 1913 of the Sixteenth Amendment to the
Constitution.

The data for 1913-1957 relate to returns filed under the
income tax laws of 1913 and subsequent years. A return is
required of every citizen or resident with gross or net income
above a specified minimum. The requirements for filing have
changed from time to time and are summarized below.

* Gross income of $1,200 for each person aged 65 or older.• Also, for 1943, required to file if liable for 1942 tax, regardless of 1943 gross income.1 Also, for 1943, required to file if gross income of either spouse exceeded $624 or
f either was liable for 1942 tax, regardless of 1943 gross income.
A joint return could be filed by husband and wife if income
of both was included or if one spouse had no income.
For 1951-1957, a return was required of any individual
whose net earnings for self-empioyment tax were $400 or more,
regardless of the gross income requirement for filing.
In addition, under the current tax payment system insti
tuted in 1943, returns were filed to claim refunds of taxes
overpaid, even though the individual was not otherwise required
to file.
Fiduciary income of an estate or trust for 1913-1936 was
reported on an individual return form when there remained
in the hands of the fiduciary net income which was taxable
to him and not distributed to beneficiaries. Such a return
for net income taxable to the fiduciary was required under
the same conditions as those stated above for single persons
during this period.
Data for 1913-1915 were derived from annual reports of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, net income being determined
on the basis of number of returns filed and the average net
income in each class. Subsequent data were taken from re
turns, unaudited except to insure proper execution. Data for
1916 were tabulated from each return, but for later years
were compiled by sampling techniques to represent the universe
of returns, Form 1040 and 1040A (replaced by W-2 for 1944-
1947). Tabulated data cover individual and fiduciary returns
with net income of $3,000 or more, 1913-1916; returns with
net income of $1,000 or more, 1917-1920; all returns with net
income, 1921-1927; all individual and fiduciary returns with net
income, but only individual returns with no net income, 1928-
1936; all individual returns with net income or no net income,
1937-1943; and all individual returns with adjusted gross
income or no adjusted gross income, 1944-1957, except that
returns with no information were excluded for 1953-1956.
In the great majority of cases, the returns are for the
calendar year, although some returns are for accounting periods
ended during the calendar year. Also, some returns cover
income attributable to several tax years. Prior to 1957, the
tabulations of adjusted gross income (series Y 297) included
only income attributed to the current tax year. For 1957,
adjusted gross income includes the whole amount received by
the taxpayer within his tax year even if it was reported as
income earned over a period of time that included prior tax
years.
Adjusted gross income for 1944-1957 is total income reported
for tax purposes less deductions for certain expenses generally
related to the acquisition of income. These deductions include
business and rental expenses, certain travel and transportation
expenses of employees, depreciation allowed life tenants of
property held in trust, allowable loss from the sale of capital
assets and other property, adjustments for long-term capital
gain, net operating loss deductions, and for 1954-1957, exclud
able sick pay, the limited exclusion of dividends, and expenses
of salesmen.
Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, taxable income
(series Y 298) for 1954-1957 is the base on which the tax is
computed. It consists of adjusted gross income less nonbusi
ness deductions. These deductions are for taxes, contribu
tions, interest, and other specified purposes, and also include
all personal exemptions. The figures for taxable income em
brace all returns, including those showing the so-called "op
tional tax," i.e., a tax determined by reference to a simplified
tax table involving standardized deductions rather than item
ized nonbusiness deductions.
During 1948-1957, personal exemptions were $600 a year
for each person—the taxpayer, his spouse, and dependents.
A taxpayer aged 65 or older was allowed an additional
$600 exemption for himself and, if a joint return was filed,
for his wife if she was 65 or older. Likewise, an additional
$600 exemption was allowed a blind taxpayer or a blind spouse.
Total income (series Y 305 and Y 309) for 1913-1943 is the
gross income reported for income tax purposes under the act
in effect for the income year. It is the total income after
deduction of business and rental expenses and allowable loss
on sales of capital assets and other property. Capital gain is
included to the extent provided under successive acts.
Net income (series Y 306) for 1913-1943 is total income
less authorized deductions. However, in the Statistics of In
come for 1922-1931 the allowable prior-year loss was not de
ducted, and for 1924-1933 a capital loss that gave rise to a
tax credit was not deducted. In the case of fiduciary net
income, distribution to the beneficiary was an authorized de
duction for 1913-1936. Net income in all years is measured
before deduction of personal exemptions; it is not the tax
base. The series is not available after 1943.
The small amounts of tax reported for 1938-1941 for returns
with no net income (series Y 311) are an alternative tax on a
small number of returns which showed a long-term capital loss
and, for 1940 and 1941, a defense tax. For 1943, a victory tax
was due on 17,438 returns with no net income.

These series were tabulated from returns (Form 1041) be
fore official audit. All returns were used for 1937-1939, but
only taxable returns were used for 1940-1951. Taxable and
nontaxable data for 1952, 1954, and 1956 were compiled by
sampling techniques to represent all returns filed. Data were
not tabulated for 1953, 1955, and 1957.
Fiduciary returns show annual income from estates in process
of settlement or any other trust for which the fiduciary acts
as administrator. Only certain small trusts are excused from
filing. For the period covered, returns were required if income
equalled or exceeded the amounts specified for the following
years :

1942-1947, gross income of $500; 1948-1956, gross income of
$600.
Income of a trust—for 1937, gross income of $5,000 or
net income taxable to the fiduciary of $1,000; 1938 and
1939, gross income of $5,000 or net income of $100; 1940,
gross income of $800 or net income of $100; 1941, gross
income of $750 or net income of $100; 1942-1947, gross
income of $500 or net income of $100; 1948-1953, gross
income of $600 or net income of $100; 1954-1956, gross
income of $600 or any taxable income of the fiduciary.
For any tax year, a return was required if any beneficiary
of the estate or trust was a nonresident alien.
Total income (series Y 313) is gross income reported in
accordance with the law for each tax year. For 1937-1952,
this is after business and rental expenses and allowable loss
from sales of capital assets and other property, and it includes
capital gains as required under the various acts. For 1954
and 1956, it includes gross profit from business, gross rents,
and the entire capital gain without adjustment.
Net income or taxable income (series Y 314) as shown for
1954 and 1956 is less inclusive than the amounts shown for
earlier years. For 1937-1952, this series represents total in
come less allowable nonbusiness deductions and the amount
distributable to beneficiaries. For these years, it is not the
amount taxed, since the exemption allowed to trusts and
estates has not been deducted from the net income taxable to
the fiduciary. For 1954 and 1956, the series shows income
taxable to the fiduciary. This is total income after deduction
of the exemption as well as all business and rental expenses,
the authorized nonbusiness deductions, distributions to bene
ficiaries, and the fiduciary's share of dividend exclusions and
of long-term capital gain.
Y 319-332. Individual income tax liability and effective rates,
for selected income groups, 1913-1957.
Source : Treasury Department, records.
Maximum earned net income is assumed where it affects
the amount of tax liability. In the case of the married couple
(four exemptions), the computations assume prior to 1948 that
only one spouse had income. Beginning with the income year
1948, all married couples have been permitted to combine
their incomes in a joint return and to split the taxable in
come equally for purposes of the tax computation; a joint
return on the split-income basis is therefore assumed for the
married couple for the income years 1948-1957.
For the same years, persons of age 65 or older and blind
persons were allowed additional exemptions; consequently, the
illustrative data for 1948-1957 apply equally to any married
couple claiming 4 exemptions, whether the additional exemp
tions were for dependents, age, or blindness.
The effective tax rate is the tax liability as a percentage
of the amount of net income. The liability is the amount
for income tax only, including the defense and victory taxes
of 1940 and 1943; it does not include the self-employment tax
for social security, applicable for 1951-1957.
Net income, as used here, is gross income (after 1943, ad
justed gross income) minus nonbusiness deductions for con
tributions, interest, taxes, medical and dental expenses, and
other allowable expenses, but before deduction of personal
exemptions. Also excluded from net income (and from adjusted
gross income) is tax-exempt interest on government obliga
tions, excludable sick pay under the Revenue Act of 1954,
certain expenses related to the acquisition of income, and other
nontaxable income.
Statutory changes have been made from time to time in
the allowable nonbusiness deductions. For example, the de
duction for medical expenses was amended several times during
1944-1957. Another type of nonbusiness deduction, the amount
allowed for contributions, was limited to 20 percent of ad
justed gross income prior to 1954; for 1954-1957, taxpayers
were allowed to deduct more than 20 percent to the extent
that the excess (limited to 10 percent of adjusted gross in
come) was for contributions to hospitals, churches, or educa
tional institutions.
In consequence of these and other changes, a given amount
of net income could be associated with somewhat different
amounts of gross income in different years. Even in any one
year, a given amount of net income could be associated with
different amounts of gross income for different taxpayers in
accordance with their varying allowable deductions.
Beginning with the income year 1941, taxpayers with gross
income of not more than $3,000 from specified sources were
allowed to use a simplified return Form 1040A, with the tax
determined by a table that allowed a standard percentage of
earned income credit and deductions from income. Taxpayers
who did not use the short form were required to itemize
deductions. In either case, the 1943 victory tax had to be
computed separately. Legislation simplifying the filing of tax
returns made available (beginning in 1944) the option of a
standard deduction of 10 percent of adjusted gross income,
limited to $500 for 1944-1947. For 1948-1957, the limit was
raised to $1,000 for single persons and for married persons
filing joint returns. In general, this implies that, for 1944-
1947, net incomes of $4,500 or less and, for 1948-1957, net
incomes of $9,000 or less, as shown in the table, would repre
sent adjusted gross incomes at least ten-ninths as large. (That
is, $800 net represents at least $889 of adjusted gross income;
$1,000 net, at least $1,111 gross; $4,500 net, at least $5,000
gross; etc.)
For some types of analysis, effective rates based on gross
rather than net income might be more pertinent Such rates
can be computed by making uniform assumptions about the
deductions associated with the several specified levels of net
income. For example, if it is assumed that the standard de
ductions made up the whole difference between adjusted gross
and net income in cases in which the standard deduction was
available, the effective percentage rate of tax on adjusted
gross income in these cases would be nine-tenths of the effec
tive rates shown in series Y 319-332. For another type of
computation of effective tax rates, see Internal Revenue Serv
ice, Statistics of Income, 1957, Individual Income Tax Returns,
p. 38.

credits for dependents) and of the range of tax rates applicable

The Federal estate tax is a levy upon the transfer of prop
erty by a decedent It differs from inheritance taxes, in
which, gmerally, the tax is on the privilege of receiving
property by inheritance and is levied upon the heirs.
The base of the tax is the value of the gross estate trans
ferred, adjusted for exclusions, deductions, and exemptions.
The tax is imposed at graduated rates, and certain credits are
allowed against the tax so computed.
The estate tax in its present form became a permanent
part of the Federal tax system in 1916, but four times earlier
death taxes had been imposed by the Federal Government.
During 1797-1802, a stamp tax applied to succession to personal
property by inheritance. The Civil War Revenue Act of 1862
included an inheritance tax which was substantially increased
in 1864; this tax was repealed in 1870. The income tax act
of 1894 included an inheritance tax that was abandoned when
the income tax was declared unconstitutional. The Revenue
Act of 1898, for financing the Spanish-American War, included
a short-lived tax applicable to all estates of over $10,000,
except those inherited by spouses.
Table IX summarizes the history of Federal estate tax rates
and exemptions for 1916-1957. An estate tax return was re
quired if the value of the gross estate at the date of death
exceeded the allowable specific exemption as shown in the table
and footnote 1.
The estate of an individual who died in the period June 6,
1932, through August 16, 1954, was subject to two estate
taxes—basic and additional. Basic tax was at the rates pro
vided in the 1926 act; additional tax was the excess of a
tentative tax at rates provided by the act in force at date of
death, over the basic tax. Under the 1954 Code, these two
taxes were combined and a single tax rate applied to the net
taxable estate.

1 For estate of resident citizen or alien. The same specific exemption was grantedfor estates of nonresident citizens dying after May 10, 1984. Exemptions were notKnted to estates of nonresident sliens until Oct. 22, 1942, when a $2,000 exemption
ame available.' For deaths from June 26, 1940, to Sept. 20, 1941, a defense tax was added equal to
10 percent of the net estate tax (computed at the rates of 2 to 70 percent) after deduction of credits for gift taxes and State death taxes.
• Higher rates, ranging from 1 percent to a top-bracket rate of 40 percent on the
excess over $10,000,000, were provided in the Revenue Act of June 2, 1924, but therates of the 1921 act were restored retroactively Feb. 26, 1926. Refunds were authorized for overpayments made at the higher rates. The net tax (series Y 888 and Y 842)was computed at the lower rates (Statistice of Income, 19t5, pp. 70-71, 82).

A marital deduction for bequests to the surviving spouse
applied to the estates of persons who died after 1947. The
deduction is limited to the smaller of either one-half the value
of the adjusted gross estate or the value of the qualifying
property interests which pass to the surviving spouse. The
impact of this provision is reflected in the statistics.
Gross estate (series Y 335 and Y 340) includes all property
possessed to the extent of the decedent's interest therein at
death, including certain transfers made during life without
full consideration, joint estates, tenancies by the entirety,
dower and curtesy of surviving spouse, and life insurance on
the life of the decedent if the estate was administered under
the 1942 or subsequent acts. The value of the gross estate
may be either the value at date of death or as of the date
one year after death, whichever the executor elected in case
death occurred on or after August 31, 1935.
Net taxable estate (series Y 336 and Y 341) is gross estate
less the deductions and specific exemptions allowed under the
act in effect at date of death. These have varied somewhat
among the different acts.

The Federal gift tax, like the estate tax, is a levy upon
transfers of property by gift. The tax is a liability of the
person making the gift and is based upon the value of the
transferred property.
The gift tax was first levied for 1924 and 1925. For these
years, a return was required for gifts of property located in
the United States, made by individuals, corporations, associa
tions, partnerships, trusts, or estates, if total gifts exceeded
the sum of authorized deductions for exemption, charitable
gifts, and previously taxed property, and if the aggregate
exceeded $500 to any one donee.

The present gift tax was introduced in 1932 in connection
with substantial revisions in the estate tax. The rates were
three-fourths of those in the estate tax, and this relationship
was maintained through subsequent revisions (subject, how
ever, to differences in the effective dates of rate and exemption
changes). A return was required during 1932-1956 if aggre
gate gifts in the year to any donee exceeded the allowable
annual exclusion per donee and for gifts of future interests
regardless of value. Tax rates, specific exemptions, and annual
exclusions are summarized in table X.

Since 1932 the tax has applied to individuals only (citizens,
residents, or nonresident aliens) for transfer of property situ
ated in the United States.
Gift tax rates are progressive in application ; that is, current
graduated rates are applied to (a) the aggregate net taxable
gifts made after June 6, 1932, and to (6) the aggregate net
gifts exclusive of those made in the current year—the excess
of tax in (o) over (6) being the current tax liability.
As indicated in table X, the donor is allowed to exclude
gifts of less than a specified amount to each recipient in each
year. This annual exclusion was $3,000 for each donee for
the years 1943-1956. In addition, a specific exemption ($30,000
during 1943-1956) is allowed each citizen or resident and may
be taken, at his option, entirely in a single year or spread over
a number of years. After April 2, 1948, a marital deduction
of one-half of the value of gifts made between a husband
and wife was allowed citizens and residents.
Total gifts (series Y 345 and Y 349) is the value of property
(real property or tangible or intangible personal property)
transferred without full consideration in money or money's
worth, whether transferred in trust or otherwise, whether
direct or indirect, or of future interests. Generally, gifts of
less than the allowable annual exclusion for each donee are
not reported, except that gifts of future interests must be
included regardless of value (and, for 1939-1942, gifts in
trust).
Net taxable gift (series Y 346) is the tax base. It is the
value of total gifts minus the exclusion for each donee, deduc
tions, and specific exemptions.

These series exclude amounts paid to retire public debt and
expenditures from trust accounts. They include the transac
tions of all other Federal funds. In the case of public enter
prise funds (including the postal service) and various intra-
governmental funds, expenditures included in the total are on
a net basis—that is, their collections are deducted from gross
expenditures and the results are the net expenditures included
in Federal Government expenditure accounts. In the case of
the postal service, the net postal expenditure is included in
the total and "other" (series Y 350 and Y 355) expenditures
in the years in which there was a postal deficit. For a
historical series showing gross postal expenditures in relation
to postal receipts, see references in text for series Y 258-263.
Expenditures for 1789-1915 are based on warrants issued;
for 1916-1952, on the Daily Statement of the United States
Treasury; for 1953-1957, on the Treasury's Monthly Statement
of Receipts and Expenditures of the United States Govern
ment.
In the Monthly Statement, expenditures are reported on
the basis of checks issued by disbursing officers, except for
interest on the public debt and payments made in cash. Where
payment is made by the issuance of bonds or by an increase
in their redemption value, instead of by the issuance of checks,
such an issuance or increase is an expenditure. Interest on
the public debt is reported on an accrual basis. For years
prior to those reported in the Monthly Statement, interest on
the public debt is reported on the same basis as other ex
penditures.
The figures for 1916-1952 were compiled from daily reports
received by the Treasurer of the United States from Govern
ment depositaries and Treasury offices holding Government
funds. On this basis, the expenditures include payments on
checks outstanding at the beginning of the fiscal year and do
not include checks unpaid at the end of the year. Beginning
with the fiscal year 1947, expenditures of several departments
and establishments were reported on the basis of checks issued,
so that the detail in the daily statement was partly based
on checks issued, partly on checks paid. The change to the
monthly statement basis eliminated the necessity for showing
an item of "adjustment to daily Treasury statement basis"
in tabulations presenting components of the expenditure total.

As Federal Government operations expanded in volume and
variety, the limited classification of expenditures exemplified in
series Y 350-356 (even when supplemented with additional
704
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCES Y 368-383
items and subdivided to give more specific categories) was
inadequate to delineate the scope of Government programs
and to focus attention on significant shifts in the purpose of
expenditures.
A systematic classification of expenditures by major
functional categories and more specific subfunctions was intro
duced in the Budget for the fiscal year 1948. Although each
succeeding annual Budget modified some of the categories or
shifted particular items from one classification to another,
continuity of the series was maintained by explanatory state
ments and a revised historical special analysis included at the
end of each year's Budget volume. See, for example, special
analysis L, in the Budget for 1960, pp. 1013-1014, showing
expenditures for each major function and subfunction for the
fiscal years 1951-1957, using the classification system as re
vised for the 1960 Budget. The content of each functional
category may be determined from the subfunctions listed in
the special analysis, from the explanatory comments in the
President's Budget Message, and by examination of the detailed
Budget.
Series Y 360, veterans services and benefits, may be slightly
understated for 1900-1914, as it comprises only the payments
for veterans compensation and pensions, the same as series
Y 356. Any such understatement in series Y 360 apparently
would not exceed $12 million a year and is balanced by an
equal overstatement in the residual series, Y 361-365, for "All
other."
Refunds are excluded from series Y 357-367 since 1912.
Consequently, total expenditures, series Y 357, for 1913-1930
deviate from those shown in series Y 255 and Y 350 by the
amount of refunds.

The total gross debt (series Y 368) as reported at the end
of each fiscal period is essentially the formal funded debt of
the Federal Government, both long-term and short-term. It
includes savings bonds at current redemption value. The total
gross debt is also designated as "the public debt." Outside
that total, but included in "total debt outstanding," are guar
anteed obligations held outside the Treasury—comprising ob
ligations issued by certain Government corporations and credit
agencies, which are guaranteed by the United States as to
both principal and interest. These were first authorized in
1932 but none were outstanding at the end of the fiscal years
1932 and 1933. (See the Annual Report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, 1958, pp. 391, 471.)
Studies by Paul B. Trescott and others have suggested
that the debt totals (series Y 368) as compiled by the
Treasury Department for the early years of the Republic—
1791 into the early 1800's—may omit obligations incurred other
wise than by the issuance of Treasury obligations and may
include some contingent liabilities that would be excluded by
the definitions adopted in later years. (Trescott, unpublished
memoranda; see also Paul Studenski and Herman E. Krooss,
Financial History of the United States, McGraw-Hill, New York,
1952, p. 3, footnote 1.) See also text for series Y 254-257.
Although nearly all the public debt is interest-bearing, the
total includes some obligations that bear no interest and ma
tured debt on which interest has ceased. In recent years, a
substantial part of the public debt has been held in the trust
funds and other Treasury investment accounts. (For the
ownership of Federal public debt obligations at several dates
for 1941-1958, see the Annual Report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, 1958, pp. 34, 576.) Certain unfunded obligations of
the Government are not counted in the public debt, for example,
a potential obligation of the Government for unpaid employer
contributions to the civil service retirement and disability fund.
The formal concept of "the public debt," as used in Federal
fiscal reports, appears to have emerged following initial en
actment of a statutory ceiling on the debt of the Federal
Government. Such a ceiling was first provided in the Second
Liberty Bond Act of 1917; prior to May 26, 1938, the limita
tion applied to particular segments of the debt, not to the
total. The debt ceiling has been modified from time to time
in subsequent legislation. For a tabular summary of the debt
limit legislation, 1917-1958, see Marshall A. Robinson, The
National Debt Ceiling, An Experiment in Fiscal Policy, The
Brookings Institution, Washington, D.C., 1959, p. 3.
Despite the close relationship of "the public debt" or total
gross debt (series Y 368) to the debt limitation, series Y 368
includes a relatively small amount of obligations not subject
to statutory limitations. Robinson, cited above, points out
(p. 8) that "the Federal debt is part of a larger structure of
Federal Government obligations. . . . The legally defined gross
Federal debt ... is the debt that falls under the debt
limitation, and it is what general usage calls the national
debt." For a rough estimate of some additional obligations
not included in "total gross debt," see a compilation by the
Comptroller General of the United States, in Investigation of
the Financial Condition of the United States: Hearings before
the Senate Committee on Finance, 85th Congress, 1st session,
vol. 1, June 26, 1957, pp. 81-82, 269.
Various writers, including Robinson, have contended that the
most meaningful measure of the national debt in economic
terms is "debt owed to the public." (See series Y 383, which
shows yearly changes in terms of "net cash borrowing from
the public or repayment") It should be noted, however,
that any such series is a subdivision of the total gross public
debt and does not incorporate Federal Government obligations
that are not counted in the formal public debt.
The computed annual interest charge (series Y 373) repre
sents the amount of interest that would be paid if each
interest-bearing issue outstanding at the end of the year should
remain outstanding for a year at the applicable annual rate
of interest. The charge is computed for each issue by applying
the appropriate annual interest rate to the amount outstand
ing on that date. The aggregate charge is the total of the
computed amounts for all interest-bearing issues. The average
annual rate is computed by dividing the computed annual
interest charge for the total of outstanding issues by the
corresponding principal amount.

The series summarize the flow of money between the public
and the Federal Government as a whole. This type of com
pilation is often referred to as a consolidated-cash statement
The totals represent in effect a summation of all Federal
transactions with the public—other than borrowing and debt
repayment.
The public is defined to include individuals, banks, other
private corporations and associations, unincorporated busi
nesses, the Federal Reserve System, the Postal Savings Sys
tem, State and local governments, foreign governments, and
international organizations.
For the statistical procedures by which the data are derived,
see 1957 Historical and Descriptive Supplement . . . , pp. 72
and 74. For presentation and derivation of the annual data
and reconciliations with the administrative budget totals and
with Treasury accounts, see the annual Budget of the United
States Government for 1949 and later fiscal years, special
analysis A.
Federal Government transactions comprised within these
totals include not only those receipts and expenditures counted
in the administrative budget but also the transactions of trust
and deposit funds held by the Government and certain trans
actions of Government-sponsored enterprises that are outside
the conventional budget—mainly the Federal Deposit Insur
ance Corporation, Federal land banks, Federal home loan banks,
and banks for cooperatives. Major intragovernmental and
noncash transactions are eliminated in the consolidated sum
mation of transactions with the public. A few items of ex
penditure that are made in the form of additions to the
public debt (such as interest accruing on savings bonds) are
counted as cash payments only when the actual disbursement
is subsequently made, in contrast with the administrative
budget totals in which such items are reported as a budget
expenditure at the time when the increase in the public debt
occurs.
The excess of Federal cash receipts from the public or
payments to the public is often referred to as the "cash
surplus or deficit." As the tabulated series indicate, the excess
of receipts from or payments to the public is not necessarily
the same as the Government's net cash borrowing from the
public or repayment of debt owed to the public. The difference
is accounted for mainly by increases qr decreases in cash
balances (both in the Treasury and outside it) and to a minor
extent by receipts from the exercise of monetary authority.
Net cash borrowing or repayment of borrowings from the
public excludes Treasury borrowing from Federal trust ac
counts and Government-sponsored enterprises and also excludes
certain types of public-debt transactions such as the issuance
and redemption of Armed Forces leave bonds.
Because the cash accounts include receipts and payments of
trust funds, exclude various intragovernmental and noncash
transactions, and are affected by other types of adjustments,
the amounts reported as receipts from several major sources
and the expenditures reported for several major functions
differ significantly from the amounts reported for the same
sources or functions in Treasury and budget accounts that tie
to the administrative budget totals.
In the case of tax receipts, the principal differences during
1948-1957 were in employment taxes, which were predomi
nantly trust fund revenues; and, in 1957, certain excise taxes
on motor fuel, tires, and vehicles that were earmarked, be
ginning in that year, for the highway trust fund. Also, the
cash receipts accounts include other types of trust fund re
ceipts (such as unemployment insurance deposits by States,
and veterans life insurance premiums) that are not included
in budget receipts. For Federal Government receipts from the
public, by major sources, in the fiscal years 1948-1957, see the
Budget of the United States Government for fiscal year 1960,
p. 929.
The figures in the 1960 Budget are not the same, however,
as those shown under similar headings in series Y 264-279,
not only because there are conceptual differences between
budget receipts and receipts from the public, but also because
series Y 264-279 are in terms of internal revenue collections,
so that the amounts are reported at a point in the flow of
receipts different from the point at which they are reported
in the annual budget total.
On the expenditure side, the functional categories most
substantially affected for 1948-1957 by the differences between
Federal payments to the public and budget expenditures were
those for labor and welfare and for veterans services and
benefits, both of which involve extensive payments from trust
funds. In 1957, the commerce and housing category—which
includes Federal expenditures for highway construction grants—
also showed a substantial difference between budget expend
itures and payments to the public.
The 1960 Budget (p. 929) reports Federal payments to the
public for each major function for the fiscal years 1948-1957.
The amounts shown there may be compared with budget ex
penditures for the same categories as reported in series
Y 357-367.
Because the totals of receipts from and payments to the
public are more comprehensive than the budget totals, they
are widely used in assessing the impact of Government trans
actions on the economy. However, the magnitude of Govern
ment operations is understated somewhat, even in these totals,
because they include only the net receipts or net expenditures
of wholly owned and Government-sponsored enterprises. This
procedure affects the totals of cash receipts and payments
equally and therefore does not affect the excess of receipts
from or payments to the public.
Similar data for State and local governments (and for the
Federal Government for calendar years) are shown for 1946-
1957 in the Council of Economic Advisers, Economic Report
of the President, annual issues.
Y 384-714. General note.
The concepts and terms used in these series were originally
developed for Census Bureau reporting on finances of State
and local governments. These concepts have also been applied
to Federal Government data to provide comparable compre
hensive aggregates covering all levels of government.
For a full discussion of basic concepts and terminology and
of the classifications of revenue and expenditure, see the
source for series Y 384-445, pp. 1-9. A few of the more
important items are discussed here.
General revenue and general expenditure, as used in these
series, refer to all sources or purposes other than certain
specifically defined utility, liquor store, and insurance trust
operations.
Intergovernmental revenue and intergovernmental expendi
ture refer to transactions between the Federal, State, and
local governments. To avoid double counting, such transactions
are netted out of aggregates comprising the groups of govern
ments concerned. Transactions with governments of other
countries are not defined as intergovernmental. The value of
intergovernmental aid "in kind" (for example, commodities or
other property given by the Federal Government to State or
local government agencies) is not included in either
706
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT AND FINANCES Y 384-516
intergovernmental or other revenue of the receiving government;
the expenditures involved in granting such aid are included
in direct expenditure of the granting government.
Besides intergovernmental aid "in kind," the following types
of transactions between governments have not been isolated
for special treatment as intergovernmental revenue or ex
penditure :
a. Contributions by local governments to State-administered
retirement systems that cover their employees. These are
included without distinction as part of the "current opera
tion" expenditure of the local governments, and the receipts
are included with State insurance trust revenue.
b. Interest paid or received on obligations of one govern
ment held by another government.
c. Transactions in which governments deal as ordinary
suppliers and customers—e.g., in purchasing property, utility
services, or supplies from one another.
Direct expenditure comprises all expenditure other than in
tergovernmental expenditure.
Since the data utilized for each individual government repre
sent a consolidation of amounts from its various funds,
payments between funds are eliminated for Census reporting.
Thus, a government employer contribution to a retirement fund
it administers is not counted as expenditure, nor is the receipt
of this contribution by the retirement fund considered reve
nue; only the payment out of the fund for retirement benefits
is classified in the Census tabulations as a governmental ex
penditure (in this particular illustration, an insurance trust
expenditure).
The substantial amount of interest paid by the U.S. Treasury
to the Federal insurance trust funds, which have all their
reserves invested in Federal securities, is excluded from Federal
interest expenditure and insurance trust revenue to avoid
double counting in Federal financial aggregates. However, the
principle of eliminating interfund transactions is not followed
in the case of interest paid by a State or local government on
any of its own securities held as an investment by insurance
funds it administers—mainly because of the difficulty of iden
tifying such transactions.

The 1957 Census of Governments classification of Federal fis
cal data was applied in an annual Summary of Governmental
Finances for the fiscal years 1952 through 1957. Derivation of
the Federal Government data for earlier years is described
on pp. 8-9 of the Historical Summary, cited above.
For the Historical Summary and the annual Summary of
Governmental Finances, Federal budget data are recast into
the Census framework which is used for reporting State and
local government finances. Accordingly, Census figures on
Federal revenue and expenditure differ from "budget receipts"
and "budget expenditures" (series Y 254-367) as reported in
the Budget of the United States and annual reports of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The major differences are dis
cussed in the following paragraphs.
In the 1957 Census of Governments report, the introductory
text includes detail for 1942-1957 for the Census category,
"National defense and international relations," showing how
related items in Federal budget reports are regrouped in the
census of governments classifications; and for 1902-1957, show
ing the Census treatment of items grouped in Federal budget
reports under "Veterans services and benefits." Other func
tional categories also differ from those shown for the Federal
Government in series Y 357-367.
Loans made by the Government are included in "budget ex
penditures" and receipts from the repayment of loans are
included in "budget receipts." These transactions are ex
cluded from revenue and expenditure as defined by the Bureau
of the Census.
Financial transactions of government enterprises are included
in Federal budget figures only to the extent of their net
effect (plus or minus) upon "budget expenditures"; Census
figures include gross revenue and expenditure of government
enterprises (other than loan and investment transactions). Il
lustrative of this difference is the treatment of transactions
of the Post Office Department in Census and Budget sources.
In series Y 416 and Y 496, postal service, expenditure for
the Post Office Department is reported gross, without deduc
tion for postal revenue. Gross postal receipts are included in
series Y 392 and Y 460 as a category of general revenue.
This treatment differs from the tabulations based on Treasury
and budget accounts (series Y 254-367) which include only
the difference between postal receipts and payments.
Federal "budget receipts" and "budget expenditures" omit
the financial transactions of trust funds. These are included
in Census reporting of Federal revenue and expenditure, ex
cept for trust funds handled on an agency basis for State and
local governments (e.g., the State accounts in the unemploy
ment compensation fund, and District of Columbia funds) .
Certain kinds of reimbursements from non-Federal sources
and receipts from charges for quarters and subsistence furn
ished to employees are treated in the Federal Budget as
"appropriation credits" and result in the reduction of budget
expenditures by the amount of such credits. For Census pur
poses, these amounts are counted as revenue and added to
expenditure.
Federal budget receipts and expenditures include amounts
transferred between general and special accounts, on the one
hand, and enterprise and trust funds, on the other. Census
figures exclude such interfund transfers.
Federal budget expenditures include interest on an accrual
basis. Census data on interest expenditure are on a disburse
ment basis. Furthermore, interest paid to Federal insurance
trust funds is included in Federal budget expenditures, while
Census data exclude such interfund transfers.
Data on "cash receipts from and payments to the public"
(series Y 380-383) also differ from the Census figures on
Federal revenue and expenditure. Thus, that series treats the
financial transactions of government enterprises on a net basis
(as does the series on budget receipts and expenditures) ; it
includes lending transactions to the extent that they are in
cluded in budget receipts and expenditures; and it handles
"appropriation credits" the same way they are handled in
budget receipts and expenditures. On the other hand, the
data on "cash receipts from and payments to the public" differ
from the budget series and more closely resemble the Census
data in their treatment of trust funds, interfund transfers,
and interest amounts.

Y 517-714 GOVERNMENT
Federal Government indebtedness and the change in debt
outstanding (series Y 480-483) correspond with "public debt"
as reported by the U.S. Treasury. Consequently, series Y 480
is the same as series Y 257.

Periodic surveys of State and local government finance began
in 1850; for that year and 1860 the data were published in
conjunction with reports of the population census. For 1870-
1922, the State and local government data were reported at
approximately decennial intervals under the title, Wealth, Debt,
and Taxation; for 1932, as Financial Statistics of State and
Local Governments; and for 1942 and 1957, as the Census of
Governments.
In all these reports and the specialized annual series men
tioned below, concepts, classifications, and coverage have under
gone frequent revisions significantly affecting historical con
tinuity and comparability. For a historical resume of 10
decennial censuses of governments, 1850-1942, see Bureau of
the Census, Governmental Finances in the United States: 1942,
pp. 130-135. The Historical Summary for 1902-1957, the
source for the series presented here, represents a reworking
of summaries for all State governments and all local govern
ments (and the Federal Government) on a comparable basis.
Except for the Federal Government, it does not report in
dividual units of government.
For financial statistics of the individual State and local
governments in 1957, see the detailed reports of the U.S.
Census of Governments: 1957, especially vol. VI, presenting a
separate bulletin for each State area.
For financial statistics in detail for the individual State
governments, see the annual compilation by the Bureau of the
Census issued for 1942-1957, as Compendium of State Govern
ment Finances; and for 1915-1941, as Financial Statistics of
States. There were no volumes for 1920 and for 1932-1936;
partial data were published for 1921; and data for 1932 were
collected for 41 States but were not compiled fully or pub
lished.
Reports for earlier years used systems different than those
applied since 1951. Figures for individual States on the later
reporting basis are available in Bureau of the Census, Re
vised Summary of State Government Finances, 1942-1950
(State and Local Government Special Studies No. 32, 1953).
For detail for individual large city governments, and in many
years for every city with population above 25,000 or 30,000, see
the annual compilations published by the Department of Labor
for 1898-1901 and by the Bureau of the Census for 1902-1941
(with gaps for the years 1914 and 1920), as Financial Statistics
of Cities (with early variations in title), and for 1942-1957,
as Compendium of City Government Finances. Prior to 1932,
the city statistics covered cities of 30,000 inhabitants or more
in the preceding decennial census. For 1932-1941, coverage
was limited to cities of 100,000 or more, and beginning 1942,
the compilation relates to cities of 25,000 inhabitants or more.
Through 1940, the city series included data for overlying local
governments as well as the city government itself (except
that the county governments were included only for cities of
300,000 inhabitants or more). For 1941, basic data related
only to city governments, but supplementary tables provided
figures for overlying local governments other than counties.
For 1941-1957, the compilation was limited to the city govern
ment, omitting the overlying county government, school and
other special districts, or other local governments.
A series on county governments also was published for
1943-1946, following the inclusion of all county governments in
the Census of Governments for 1942. The county series
yielded nationwide aggregates of county transactions and in
dividual statistics for large counties.

Some of the figures for the Navy and Marine Corps appear
in the following sources: Gordon R. Young (ed.), Army Al
manac, Stackpole Company, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1959;
Bureau of Navy Personnel, Navy and Marine Corps, Military
Personnel Statistics, June and December 1956; Navy Depart
ment, Bureau of Personnel, Progress Report, March 1948.
Officers include warrant officers, flight officers, nurses, med
ical specialists, and field clerks. Enlisted personnel includes
U.S. Military Academy cadets, U.S. Naval Academy midship
men, U.S. Air Force Academy cadets, and other officer can
didates.
Army data (series Y 764-766) begin with 1789, the year in
which the Department of War (now Department of the Army)
was established. Although a "regular" Army has existed con
tinuously from that time, the total strengths cannot be docu
mented from available records, nor can reliable estimates be
made for 1790-1793 and 179&-1800. Beginning 1861, the data
include all military personnel on extended active duty with the
Army (Regulars, volunteers, militia, inductees, Reserves, Na
tional Guardsmen, and reactivated retired Regular personnel)
and U.S. Military Academy cadets. Data prior to 1861 are for
Regular Army and cadets only, except for 1836-1840 (Seminole
Indian War) and 1846-1848 (Mexican War). Source docu
ments for other years do not contain adequate strength sta
tistics on nonregular personnel called out during the War of
1812 or for short periods of service during the numerous
Indian disturbances. For most years prior to 1878, data were
compiled from the latest returns received; some of the reports
used, especially those from the frontier garrisons, were weeks
or months in transit.
The Army figures include the Army Nurse Corps beginning
1898; Army field clerks and field clerks in the Quartermaster
Corps for 1917-1925; warrant officers beginning 1919; flight
officers for 1943-1947; and the Women's Army Corps (for
merly the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps) and the Women's
Medical Specialist Corps (later redesignated the Army Med
ical Specialist Corps) , beginning 1943. All data for these
categories are as of June 30, except the 1898 figure for the
Army Nurse Corps which is as of September 15.
The Army Nurse Corps became a part of the permanent
Army military establishment in 1901. It traces its origin,
however, to 1898, when authority was received to employ by
contract as many nurses as needed during the war with Spain.
For this reason, data on nurses have been included for
1898-1900.
The positions of Army field clerks and field clerks in the
Quartermaster Corps were created by Act of Congress, August
29, 1916. Field clerks of both classes were subject to the
rules and articles of war, and had the status of officers,
although not commissioned officers. By Act of Congress, April
27, 1926, the Secretary of War was authorized and directed to
appoint as warrant officers all field clerks then in active
service.
The Army figures for 1908-1947 include strength of the
Army Air Force and predecessor agencies. Those beginning
with 1948 consist of military personnel under the command
of the Army only, resulting from the establishment of the
Department of the Air Force as an executive department by
the National Security Act of 1947. Data for 1948 and 1949
include a small number of Department of the Air Force
military personnel assigned for duty with Army commands,
and data for 1948-1955 exclude a larger number of Depart
ment of the Army military personnel assigned for duty with
Air Force commands.
Navy data for 1794, 1795, and 1798 are an approximation of
the "on board" personnel authorized by Congress in conjunc
tion with the construction of six frigates to reconstitute a Navy
which had existed for 1775-1785 under the Continental Con
gress. A separate Navy Department was authorized and or
ganized in 1798. Since the crews usually were obligated, dur
ing the early years of the Navy, for only a specific sailing or
mission, rather than a continuous tour of duty, the strengths
shown are more in the nature of averages and are therefore
noted as estimated. Data exclude an unknown number of
Naval militia, supplied by the States, who served during the
War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Spanish-American

War. Since 1916, Naval Reservist and retired personnel on
extended active duty have been included.
The Marine Corps was founded in 1775 by the Continental
Congress and served during the Revolutionary War, but ceased
to exist in 1783. It was reactivated in 1794 when Congress
authorized the building of the six frigates and a small number
of Marines were used as guards. The data in series Y 773-
775 begin with 1798, since reliable estimates are not available
for prior years. Since 1917, Reservist and retired personnel
on active duty have been included.
Y 776-786. Estimated number of veterans in civil life, by war,
1865-1955.
Source: Veterans Administration, estimates based primarily
on Armed Forces records.
The estimates for the War of 1812 were derived by a
backward chain computation involving the application of ap
propriate survival rates to the age distribution of the 165 liv
ing veterans of this war on the pension rolls in 1892. It was
assumed that all living veterans of the War of 1812 were on
the pension rolls after 1873.
Estimates for the Mexican War were computed by applying
appropriate survival rates to the age distribution of the
2,195 living Mexican War veterans on the pension rolls in
1907. For 1890 and later years, the estimates were based on
the assumption that 90 percent of the living Mexican War
veterans were on the pension rolls. Estimates for years prior
to 1890 were based on a backward chain computation.
The Civil War estimate for 1865 was based on Armed
Forces data. Estimates for years after 1865 were computed
from actuarial projections, based on the American Experience
Mortality Table, 1868, applied to the age distribution of one
million Civil War participants included in Surgeon General, The
Medical Department of the U.S. Army in the World War,
Vol. XV, Statistics, part I, 1921. The totals so obtained were
modified by the assumptions that 75 percent of the living Civil
War veterans were on the pension rolls in 1900-1915 and that
practically all living Civil War veterans were on the rolls in
1920 and later years. The estimates pertain to Union forces
only.
For the Spanish-American War, estimates for 1905 and later
years were computed by application of appropriate survival
rates to the 1902 age distribution of Spanish-American War
participants (not shown here). For 1900, estimate is based
on total participants, inservice deaths, and discharges to civil
life.
Estimates for World War I were computed by applying
appropriate survival rates to the 1918 distribution of World
War I participants by year of age based on records of 3.7
million War Risk Insurance applications (The Medical Depart
ment of the U. S. Army . . . , cited above).
For World War II and the Korean conflict, the estimates
were derived from Armed Forces data on the number of
persons returned to civil life less Veterans Administration
estimates of deaths and less the number who reenlisted from
civil life.
Estimates for the Indian wars include only veterans on
pension rolls of the Veterans Administration or predecessor
agencies. Data on the Regular Establishment include only
former members of the peacetime forces receiving disability
compensation or pension from the Veterans Administration or
predecessor agencies.
The following periods are covered by the above-mentioned
wars for determining veterans status :
War of 1812-June 18, 1812, through February 17, 1815
Mexican War—April 25, 1846, through May 30, 1848
Indian wars—1860 through 1898 (approximately)
Civil War—April 15, 1861, through August 20, 1866
Spanish-American War—April 21, 1898, through July 4,
1902 (includes the war with Spain, Boxer Rebellion, and
Philippine Insurrection. For persons serving in the Moro
Province, hostilities ended July 15, 1903)
World War I—April 6, 1917, through November 11, 1918
(for persons serving in Russia, the war ended April 1,
1920)
World War II—September 16, 1940, through July 25,
1947
Korean conflict—June 27, 1950, through January 31,
1955
Y 787-800. Estimated number of veterans in civil life, by
age, 1865-1955.
Source : Veterans Administration, estimates.
Age distribution for veterans of World War I, Spanish-
American War, Civil War, Mexican War, and War of 1812
were obtained by procedures used in estimating the numbers
of living veterans in civil life, as described in the text for series
Y 776-786. The ages for veterans of Indian wars and Regular
Establishment (peacetime service) were obtained from records
of the Veterans Administration and predecessor agencies.
The ages of World War II veterans included in the total
for 1945 were based on the ages of those veterans on the
Veterans Administration disability compensation rolls on June
30, 1945. The estimated number of veterans by age, for 1950
and 1955, were derived by the application of appropriate
survival rates to the male and female components of the po
tential World War II veteran population as of July 25, 1947.
In this particular case, the potential World War II veteran
population is defined as: (a) The estimated number of men
and women who had served in World War II and who had
returned to civil life prior to July 25, 1947, and (6) those
still in the service as of July 25, 1947. The age distribution
of this population was derived from the Veterans Administra
tion's scientific sample of approximately 1 percent of the
records of the men and women separated from the Armed
Forces between September 16, 1940, and July 25, 1947, and
from estimates provided by the Armed Forces for World War
II participants who were still in service on the latter date.
The ages of Korean conflict veterans included for 1955 were
derived from the Veterans Administration's sample of approxi
mately 1 percent of Department of Defense records for per
sons returning to civil life between June 27, 1950, and June
30, 1955.
Y 801-811. Expenditures of Veterans Administration and
predecessor agencies from appropriated funds, by war,
1790-1957.
Source: Veterans Administration, records.
Original data are taken from annual reports of the Ad
ministrator of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Bureau, Bureau of
Pensions, National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, and
records of the Veterans Administration.
The data pertain to expenditures from appropriated funds
(see text for series Y 812-825) for veterans and their de
pendents through June 30, 1957. Thus, they include expendi
tures for pensions since 1790 and for care in the National
Homes (now Veterans Administration domiciliaries) since 1867.
Grants-in-aid for the care of veterans in State homes were
first made in 1889 and are included thereafter.
Expenditures on. behalf of World War I veterans, made
originally as allowances for the dependents of enlisted men in
the Armed Forces, compensation for death and disability, med
ical care and treatment, vocational rehabilitation and training,
and insurance against death or permanent disability, are in
cluded since October 1917. Subsequent adjustments of benefits
732
ARMED FORCES AND VETERANS Y 812-825
for World War I veterans and for veterans of the earlier wars
(e.g., extension of hospital benefits) are reflected in the en
suing years. Expenditures for World War II veterans began
in 1941, and for veterans of the Korean conflict in 1951.
Trust and working fund expenditures (e.g., the U.S. Gov
ernment Life and National Service Life Insurance Trust Funds,
the Adjusted Service Certificate Trust Fund, and the General
Post Fund) are excluded; transfers from appropriations to the
insurance trust funds, however, are included. Also excluded
are expenditures made by other Federal and State agencies
(e.g., unemployment compensation paid to Korean conflict vet
erans by the Department of Labor, expenditures for retirement
pay by the Department of Defense, and bonus payments made
by State governments).
Of the $88.8 billion in total expenditures through 1957,
$74.4 billion (84 percent) was directly allocated by war. The
distribution of the remaining expenditures was estimated.
Therefore, the figures are subject to a varying and unknown
degree of error. For example, variations in average hospital
costs between wars, or unusual administrative workloads are
not reflected in the distribution factors used.
Y 812-825. Expenditures for veterans benefits and services
by Veterans Administration and predecessor agencies,
1790-1957.
Source : Veterans Administration, records.
Data are based on checks paid through December 31, 1947,
and on vouchers approved for payment thereafter. The data
are gross, since they include expenditures made from amounts
earned (in the form of reimbursements) by the various
accounts. Expenditures from revolving funds are also gross,
i.e., receipts have not been netted out of these funds except
in minor instances noted elsewhere. Accordingly, these data
do not agree with those reported in the statements of the
Treasury Department and the Bureau of the Budget.
Y 812, total expenditures. This series measures the gross
cost of benefits and services (including capital expenditures
and administrative costs) provided veterans and their bene
ficiaries, irrespective of the source of funds. Included are ex
penditures from general and special funds appropriated by
the Congress, revolving and management funds authorized to
finance a continuing cycle of operations using receipts derived
from these operations, trust funds held by the Government
for the benefit of veterans and their beneficiaries, and vet
erans funds held on deposit by the Government. Transfers
from appropriations to insurance trust funds, from which the
actual expenditures are made, are not included in the total,
in order to avoid duplication. Expenditures from the Vet
erans Administration Revolving Supply Fund, established July
1, 1954, also are excluded from the total, since these amounts
generally duplicate expenditures made by Veterans Adminis
tration administrative appropriations for supplies, equipment,
and certain services procured through the fund.
Y 813, compensation and pensions. Data represent total
expenditures less refund of overpayments.
Y 814, insurance and servicemen's indemnities. Data include
direct payments to beneficiaries from insurance appropriations,
servicemen's indemnities, and benefits and dividends paid from
insurance trust funds. Some noncash transactions (e.g., inter
est credited to dividends left on deposit) also are included as
expenditures from the trust funds. Transfers from appropria
tions to the insurance trust funds, from which the benefit
payments are made, are not included in these amounts. Be
ginning fiscal year 1949, the reporting of expenditures from
the U.S. Government Life Insurance and National Service
Life Insurance trust funds was changed from a net to a gross
basis. This resulted in an understatement in varying amounts
for prior years. The cumulative differences for the prior years
between the net figures and what the figures would have been
on a gross basis have been added in a lump sum to the
1948 figures. This adjustment amounted to $295,651,000.
Y 815, education and training. This series includes subsis
tence allowances, tuition, supplies, and equipment of veterans
training under Public Law 346, education and training allow
ances of veterans training under Public Law 550, and war
orphans educational assistance under Public Law 634.
Y 816, vocational rehabilitation. Data include subsistence
allowances, tuition, supplies, and equipment of veterans train
ing under Public Laws 16 and 894, and vocational rehabilitation
allowances for World War I veterans.
Y 817, unemployment and self-employment allowances. In
cludes weekly and monthly allowances to World War II veter
ans to assist in their readjustment to civilian employment.
Credit figures reflect the excess of overpayments refunded
over expenditures during the various years. Similar allow
ances paid to Korean conflict veterans by the Department of
Labor are excluded.
Y 818, loan guaranty. Includes 4 percent gratuity payments
to veteran borrowers, payments on defaulted loans, and the
cost of property and securities acquired. The amounts are
gross and do not reflect the cost of the loan guaranty program
to the Government. Refunds and recoveries on claims paid
and returned to the general fund have amounted to $84 million
through June 30, 1957. Other losses of the program are
subject to further recovery from the liquidation of securities
and repayments by borrowers.
Y 819, direct loans. Includes direct mortgage loans and
advances to veterans, interest expenses on capital borrowed
from the U.S. Treasury, and other expenses (excluding Veter
ans Administration administrative expenses) of the direct loan
program. Expenditures are gross and do not reflect the cost
of this program to the Government. Through June 30, 1957,
receipts paid into the direct loan fund amounted to $225
million, bringing net expenditures to $492 million. This will
be further reduced, as the program matures, by payments of
interest and principal by borrowers.
Y 820, miscellaneous benefit payments. Includes statutory
burial allowances; expenditures not classified as to purpose
from the Compensation and Pensions appropriation ; automobiles
and other conveyances for disabled veterans; specially adapted
homes for paraplegic veterans; payments to participants in the
yellow fever experiments; military and naval family allowances
of World War I veterans; marine and seamen's insurance in
World War I; adjusted service compensation (World War I
bonus); General Post Fund expenditures; withdrawals of the
personal funds of patients held by the Veterans Administration
as banker and funds due incompetent beneficiaries; soldiers'
and sailors' civil relief; and the vocational rehabilitation re
volving fund. These expenditures are gross with the excep
tions of soldiers' and sailors' civil relief and the vocational
rehabilitation revolving fund, which are on a net basis.
Y 821, medical, hospital, and domiciliary services. Figures
include expenditures for hospital and domiciliary care, out
patient medical and dental treatment, medical research, and
related costs; appropriations to the Canteen Service Revolving
Fund ; and grants to the Republic of the Philippines for medical
care and treatment of veterans. Beginning 1921, the data are
estimated. Prior to July 1, 1879, the fiscal year of the Na
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers ended on various
dates. For this period, the data have been proportionately
adjusted by the Veterans Administration to reflect expenditures
for years ending June 30.

Y 822, hospital and domiciliary facilities. These data in
clude expenditures for the construction and equipping of hos
pitals and domiciliary facilities, and major alterations, im

the Philippines for the construction and equipping of a hos
pital; expenditures from funds allotted under the National
Recovery Act of 1933 and Public Works Administration Act of
1938; and $436,623,692 transferred to the Department of the
Army, Corps of Engineers, for the construction of hospitals.
Y 823, administration and other benefits. Includes expenses
for vocational counseling of veterans, beneficiary travel for
certain programs, reporting allowances paid schools for certi
fying the attendance of veteran trainees, private laws for
relief, and all administrative salaries and expenses.
Y 824-825, expenditures from general and special fund
appropriations. Series Y 824 represents expenditures from ap
propriations made by the Congress to finance the general and
ordinary operations of the Veterans Administration and prede
cessor agencies. The figures differ from amounts shown under
total expenditures (series Y 812) after 1917 in that they do
not include expenditures from trust funds, working funds, and
deposit funds. Transfers from appropriations to insurance
trust funds (series Y 825) are included in the figures for
series Y 824.
Y 826-837. Veterans pensions and compensation—number of
veterans and expenditure, by type, 1866-1957.
Source: Veterans Administration, records. Data were com
piled from various annual reports of the Administrator of
Veterans Affairs, and of the Commissioner of Pensions.
The basic distinction between pension and compensation is
that pension is a benefit payable for total and permanent dis
ability or death which is not attributable to the veteran's mil
itary service. Compensation is payable for disability or death
resulting from injury or disease incurred in, or aggravated
by, military service. In the series relating to death benefits,
the number of veterans refers to the number of deceased
veterans whose dependents are receiving benefits, rather than
to the number of dependents in receipt of such benefits; the
data on expenditures refer to the amount received by these
dependents. In the disability cases, the data refer to the
number of veterans, and the amount of money paid to these
veterans in the form of retirement pay administered by the
Veterans Administration or its predecessor agencies.
For 1866-1890, separate data are not available for the death
and disability series. Likewise, information is not available
which would permit a separation of the data on the pensions
and compensation earned for military service prior to 1904.
As a result, all data on veterans of the Spanish-American
and earlier wars have been arbitrarily included in the pension
series.
The compensation data refer to (with the qualifications as
noted above for the series on deaths) the number of, or
expenditures paid to, veterans of the Regular Establishment,
World War I, World War II, and the Korean conflict. Data
on these veterans were first included in 1904, 1918, 1942, and
1951, respectively.
Y 838-850. Patients receiving hospital or domiciliary care
authorized by Veterans Administration, 1921-1957.
Source : Veterans Administration, records.
These data do not in all cases agree with information pre
viously published in some of the earlier annual reports of- the
Veterans Administration. Revisions were made to adjust
some of the data for earlier years for comparability with
current data.
The data for all veterans receiving hospital care (series
Y 839) and veterans with service-connected disabilities (series
Y 844) are identical prior to 1925. The act which made
Veterans Administration hospital care available to veterans
with nonservice-connected disability was passed in 1924, and it
was not until 1925 that such patients were admitted to Veter
ans Administration hospitals.
Data for veterans receiving hospital care for service-
connected disabilities (series Y 844-847) exclude those veter
ans with service-connected disabilities who are being treated
for nonservice-connected ailments.
Series Y 843 shows the number of nonveteran patients in
Veterans Administration hospitals. This group of patients is
made up for the most part of persons still in the military
service who have not yet attained veteran status, and cases
admitted to Veterans Administration hospitals for humanitarian
reasons.
Domiciliary care was provided by the National Homes for
Disabled Volunteer Soldiers through July 30, 1930; later, it
was provided by other agencies. However, the data for years
prior to 1933 are not comparable with the 1933-1957 data. The
number of veterans in State homes receiving domiciliary care
(series Y 850) is shown because the Veterans Administration
contributes to the support of veterans cared for in approved
State homes, who would be eligible for admission to Veterans
Administration domiciliaries.
Y 851-854. Government life insurance administered by Vet
erans Adminstration—number of policies, income received,
and benefits paid, 1921-1957.
Source : Veterans Adminstration, records.
The U.S. Government, through the Veterans Administration,
operates two life insurance programs for veterans and service
men. The insurance program which had its origin in World
War I is known as U.S. Government Life Insurance (USGLI) ;
and the program which had its inception in 1940 is called
National Service Life Insurance (NSLI). The administrative
expenses of these programs are borne by the U.S. Government.
All USGLI is participating (that is, entitled to dividends from
any earnings). This program was closed to new issues effec
tive April 25, 1951. All NSLI issued prior to April 25, 1951,
with some minor exceptions, is participating and entitled to
dividends. This type of insurance also was closed to new
issues in 1951. Veterans separated from military service with
out a service-connected disability on or after April 25, 1951,
and before January 1, 1957, could apply for nonparticipating
NSLI on the 5-year nonconvertible term plan only. This in
surance is known as veterans special term insurance. Those
separated with a service-connected disability on or after April
25, 1951, are eligible to apply, within one year after service-
connection is established, for permanent plan or term policies.
This insurance is known as service-disabled veterans insurance.
The maximum amount of all Government insurance for veter
ans is $10,000 on one life. Excluded from these series are
data on the Servicemen's Indemnity program, which was in
effect from June 27, 1950, to January 1, 1957. This program
provided free life insurance in the amount of $10,000 (less
any USGLI or NSLI in force) while in military service and
for 120 days thereafter.
Income received (series Y 853) includes: (a) Premiums re
ceived from policy holders for insurance and disability income
benefits, including premiums waived because of disability, (6)
advances from Congressional appropriations to the service-
disabled veterans insurance fund, (c) interest on investments
in U.S. Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness and in U.S.
Treasury notes, (d) interest on policy loans and on premiums

paid in arrears, (e) dividends credited to insureds or deposited
to accumulate at interest, and (/) reimbursements from the
U.S. Government as the Government's contribution for death
and disability claims due to the extra hazards of military or
naval service, for gratuitous insurance, and for other obliga
tions.
Benefits paid (series Y 854) include: (a) The actual cash
payments to beneficiaries of deceased insureds, (6) cash pay
ments to insureds under the total and permanent disability
provisions of USGLI policies, (c) monthly income payments
under total disability income provisions of USGLI and NSLI
policies issued before April 25, 1951, (d) premiums waived
for total disability, (c) cash surrender values paid on contracts
surrendered, (/) payments on matured endowment policies, (g)
dividends paid and dividends previously credited or left on
deposit and later withdrawn, (h) interest added on dividend
credits and deposits, and (i) adjustments in policy liens, re
ceivables, and overpayments waived.
