...colleagues (after a knife fight few nights before), the track's 1,500 grooms had called a strike during the Seabiscuit unveiling, refused to lead the horses to the saddling paddock. Flabbergasted fans lined up at the betting windows and admission booths, got back their day's outlay, including parking and program fees...
...Much? Republican and Democratic National Committees closed their campaign books with bland, canary-swallowing announcements that their expenditures had been kept tidily within the $3,000,000 limit set by the Hatch Act. Their combined outlay for the 1936 campaign had been $14,544,000. To those who considered 1940's tremendous activity, its hours of high-cost radio time, its scores of expensive full-page advertisements in hundreds of newspapers, it was obvious that others besides the national committees had spent a lot of money. It looked like one of the most expensive U. S. campaigns ever...
...modern European field presents an even more ridiculous outlay. A student seeking a horizontal picture of the period from 1453 to the present must contemplate wading through seven full and seven half courses.

Against this he presented plans for new revenues of only ?239,000,000, hardly 30% of the increase in expenditure and just about enough to pay for one month of warfare. To get this new income, Sir Kingsley was obliged to ask for new taxes, both direct and hidden. Basic rate...
...early 1939, John Townsend had had enough of silver. An economical man, it annoyed him to think that the amount spent in five years' silver subsidy would run the executive, judicial & legislative branches of the U. S. Government for 25 years; that the average monthly outlay ($17,700,000) would run SEC or the Government Printing Office for over four and a half years; the Weather Bureau for three and a half years; the Public Health Service one year...
