world that has prevailed for some years past. The revenue from the State
railways has increased owing to the extension of the mileage worked and to
the growth of traffic in the aggregate; there has, however, been a relative decrease
in yield, per mile worked, because of the considerable new lines of railway in
the thinly populated but extensive regions in North Sweden, where they at present
only serve to promote the opening up of the country to industry and cultivation,
and consequently yield as yet little or no profit upon the outlay.
Among the items of ordinary state revenue there are also some
Direct taxes. One of these is the Capitation tax, a sum of 40 öre
(about 5 d.) for a male and 20 öre (about 3 d.) for a female, paid by
every ablebodied person over eighteen years of age. (Another tax of
about the same amount may be imposed by communities for the common
schools, and in some parishes certain fees, too, for the clergy; there is
also a hospital fee charged by the County Councils; with the exception
of these charges, personal taxes are now abolished in Sweden).
1 Gross amounts save as regards railways. — s The amonnt paid in to the Exchequer
Department only; another part of the net profit is assigned for new rolling stock, etc.
— • For the year 1880, Supplementary grant, half as large as the ordinary amount, is
included, cf. page 209. — * Part of the net profits; cf. page 209. — 5 The revenues and
expenditures of the State Telephone are not yet included in the Budget estimates.
