ELECTIONS AND POLITICS (Series Y 1-204)

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

Source: Charles O. Paullin, Atlas of the Historical Geography

of the United States, Carnegie Institution of Washington and

American Geographical Society of New York, 1932, p. 89.

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.

Source: Bureau of the Census, U.S. Census of Population:

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.

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

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)


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.


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


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.

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

696


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.

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

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.

For comments on the total gross debt (series Y 257) and

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


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.

port of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, various issues;

of Internal Revenue), Statistics of Income, corporation income

tax returns, annual issues.

Income tax returns are required annually of all corporations

except those specifically exempt, such as fraternal, civic, and

charitable organizations not operating for profit.

Data for 1916-1956 are for returns with accounting periods

that ended between July 1 of the year specified and June 30

of the following year (for example, figures for 1916 are for

accounting periods ending July 1, 1916, to June 30, 1917).

A large proportion of the corporations' accounting periods co

incide with the calendar year, and the calendar year is therefore

699


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.

Y 292-311. Individual income tax returns, 1913-1957.

Source: Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income, in

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.

fiduciary income tax returns, annual issues.

For more detailed information for 1947-1956, and for data by

levels of income, see 1959 issue of source, pp. 24-25.

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 :

701


Income of an estate—for 1937-1939, gross income of

$5,000 or net income taxable to the fiduciary of $1,000;

1940, gross income of $800; 1941, gross income of $750;

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 $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

estate tax returns, annual issues.

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.

703


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


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.


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


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.

Y 446-516. Federal Government finances, 1902-1957.

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.

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.

by the Department of Defense.

The time coverage for a particular war may vary from

series to series. See source for exact coverage.

The number of personnel serving in the Revolutionary War

is not known, but estimates range from 184,000 to 250,000.

In the War of 1812, it is estimated that 286,730 served and in

the Mexican War, 78,718. In the Civil War, estimates for

Confederate forces range from 600,000 to 1,500,000.

War Department Annual Reports) ; 1921-1941, War Depart

ment Annual Reports; 1942-1957, Strength of the Army,

monthly reports.

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

731


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.

733


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

provements, and repairs thereof; grants to the Republic of

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

734


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.
