In addition to the above, there was a capital expenditure on State railways and irrigation works in 1911-1912 of Rs. 12,84,44,000. The estimated amount in 1912-13 is Rs. 13,87,84,000.
The following table shows the receipts from the most important sources of revenue, land, opium, customs, excise and salt in 1900-1 and 1906-7 to 1911-12. The falling off in the land revenue in 1908 was due to unfavour- able agricultural conditions. The decrease in the opium revenue in 1908 was due partly to a curtailment of exports as a result of the measures adopted by the Government of India to co-operate with China towards the eventual extinction of the opium habit among the Chinese, and partly to a lower average price obtained at the monthly auctions, which also accounts for the fluctuations in previous years ; the increase in 1911 was due to the ex- ceedingly high prices realised at the monthly auctions. The large falling off in the salt revenue in 1908 is attributable to the reduction of the duty to 1 rupee a maund with effect from March 20, 1907 ; it had previously been reduced from 2^ rupees a maund to 2 rupees with effect from March 18, 1903, and to 1^ rupees with effect from March 22, 1905.
