In the following tables an attempt has been made to analyze the 
items of expenditure which are set forth in Table II above, and to ac- 
count for the rather notable increase in state disbursements for the 
period under consideration. Table III below is designed to show the 
increase in the cost of the several state departments which existed in or 
prior to 1913; and the increase in the cost of the state government by 
reason of the expenditures of departments which were created in 1913 
or subsequent thereto. Tables IV, V, and VI show, respectively, the 
increase in the cost of services which were carried on by the state in 
1913 and in 1923; the amount added by the cost of services which were 
undertaken by the state in 1913 or subsequent thereto; and the amount 
added by the cost of state departments which have been radically modi- 
fied or reorganized. Table VII sets forth a list of the departments 
and services which have been discontinued or in which economies have 
been effected. By combining the various items set forth in these tables, 
the increase of $21,452,841.35 in the disbursements of the state govern- 
ment may be accounted for as follows: 
1. Increase in Cost of General Government $ 402,539.33 
2. Increase in Schools, State Institutions, etc 9,288,077.80 
3. Added by Services Established in 1913 or subsequent. . . 11,766,633.63 
4. Increase in Cost of Reorganized and Expanded Depart- 
ments 176,911.83 
Total Increases $21,634,162.59 
Less Decreases in Cost of Services 181,321.24 
Total Increase to be Accounted For $21,452,841.35
