prominently as it ought to do, as expenditure on that object is distributed in
the Table under various headings: monies put aside for the Workmen’s Insurance
Fund, which at the close of 1913 amounted to 35 850 000 kr., are included
under "Other Expenditure". In consequence of the National Pension Scheme
(old age and invalidity insurance), passed in 1913, the Workmen’s Insurance
Fund will be taken into more extensive use and the direct expenditure of the
State for this social object will greatly increase in the future — according to
the scheme, to 27 150 000 kr. per annum. The expenditure for defence, though
forming a very large proportion of the total expenditure, has mounted more slowly
than the expenditure on the social objects just mentioned, and also somewhat
more slowly than the total amount of the "Expenditure Proper", (cf. p. 243).
The revenue of the State, like its expenditure, falls, from a financial
point of view, into two kinds: A. State Revenue Proper and B. Revenue
from the Productive Funds of the State. As appears from Table 40, th3
