STATE AND LOCAL EXPENDITURES 17 a number of other states. On the other hand, the expendi- tures of Missouri for capital purposes on a per capita basis increased during the period 1923 through 1925, but de- creased in the later years, when highway expenditures showed a considerable decline. In 1925 and 1926 the per capita expenditures of Missouri for capital purposes were larger than those of any other state for which data are included in Table 4. On the same basis, Missouri ranked second in 1927 and eleventh in 1928. The change in the ranking for Missouri is attributable almost entirely to the decline in highway expenditures during a period in which the total capital expenditures in many of the states showed a marked tendency to increase. Table 5 shows the percentage distribution of the expen- ditures data given in Table 3 between maintenance and capital. Examination of this table indicates that there was nothing unusual in the Missouri distributions for 1913 and 1918. In both years some states had a larger proportion of maintenance expenditures to total expenditures than Mis- souri, while others had a smaller proportion. In 1923 only one state, Illinois, had a smaller proportion than Missouri. From 1924 through 1927 Missouri in each year had a smaller proportion of maintenance expenditures than any other state in the group. In 1928 Missouri’s expenditures for mainte- nance were relatively much larger than in the preceding years. In four of the six years, 1923 to 1928, the maintenance expenditures of Missouri comprised a smaller percentage of total expenditures than was the case for any other state in the group, and for the entire period the proportion for Missouri was lower than for any other state. For the period, Missouri’s expenditures for maintenance amounted to 559 of the net total expenditures of the state. The maintenance expenditures of only one other state in the group, Oklahoma, amounted to less than 609, of net total expenditures for the period. The statistical material presented in this section would not be complete without considering the functional distribution of the expenditures of the several states. In Table 6 the data for the several functions for the six-year period, 1923 through 1928, have been combined. The combined data for a
