266 THE FISCAL PROBLEM IN MISSOURI expenditures for highways in 1927, however, showed a total of about $18.6 million, and on a per capita basis the amount so expended was equivalent to $5.22. Stated differently, for every dollar of capital expenditures for all other pur- poses, $18.64 was expended for highway capital outlays. In 1925 out of per capita capital expenditures of $7.70 only $0.26 was attributable to purposes other than highways. In that year the state expended approximately $28.61 on account of outlays for highways for every $1 ex- pended for all other purposes. Similar analysis might be made for 1924, but it would only lend additional support to the conclusion that highway expenditures have predominated in the capital outlays of the state, particularly since 1923, and that insufficient attention has been given to other re- quirements during the time when the highway program was being carried forward at a rapid rate.
