The federal government began a new fiscal year
Tuesday. Evidently Uncle Sam agrees with Arthur
A. Friestedt, of the U. S. Music Co., as to the best
peroid for closing the business books. Figures cited
by treasury officials Tuesday on federal expenditures
in their relation to the total cost of government in
nation, state, county and city showed that whereas in
1921 the federal government's share of the total was
59 per cent, it was only 40 per cent in the last 12
months.
