of interest and instalments on the national debt, kr. 300,000 to
pensions, and kr. 225,000 to foreign affairs. To cover all the
other objects of the state, such as public instruction, sanitation,
advancement of trade and industry, means of communication, etc.,
which now play such an important part in our state budget, there
was then left only an aggregate amount of kr. 1,300,000.

Since that time, and especially since the seventies, a large
increase in the revenue and expenditure of the state has taken

of the state, and these be entered with their net amounts, as was
done on the whole in previous budgets, we find:

The ordinary revenue and expenditure have thus been nearly
quadrupled during the last fifty years.

Since 1880 the revenue and expenditure of the state are
generally entered on the budget and in the state accounts with their
gross amounts, the revenue without deduction for collection and
other expenses, which are entered on the disbursement side, and
the expenditure without deduction for the receipts obtained by the
various branches of administration, which appear on the revenue
side. The revenue from the different special funds of which the
Treasury disposes for state purposes, and the expenditure caused
thereby, are also entered on the budget. Making up the budget
