Although the general character
Of each of the above items is suffi-
GENTLY clear, a brief explanation on
the method of calculation is neces-
sary.
First, labor incomes, both wages
!. and salaries, are in each case inclUd-
ed with the industries to which they
apply. They are an item of expense
to the employer, but a source of in
come to the employees.
1t will also be noted that no items
appear either for interest OK any form
of rent except the rent of residences.
This is because both of these items,
while constituting income for the
money lender and landlord, are de-
dUctible expenses for the corporation
or individual that has to pay them.
The same is true Of advertising.
The increment in the value of land
has been calculated to include only
the profit which is actually realized
through the sale and transfer Of land.
Furthermore, the depreciation of
land values is Offset against the value
increment.
The increment in business values
refers to the appreciation arising
from good will, organization, etc.,
which is regularly realized upon in
the sale and transfer of businesses
or in their capitalization. The whole
basis and method of calculation of
this business Value-increment is too
complex to be explained in detail,
but the essential facts may be stated.
This value-incTement is established
in two ways; first, the increase in the
price of securities, and second, the
issue of stock dividends.
The public generally has no con-
ception of the rate at which the value
of corporate property has increased
in the U. S. over and above any new
investment. Some idea may be
gained from the fact that the aver

BANDITS SPREAD
TERROR AS TROOPS LEAVE

Columbus, N. NJ, May y. - Four
bands Of Mexican bandits are moving
north in wake of Withdrawing Amer
lean troops, committing depredations
and spreading terror in villages. This
report was brought to Columbus base
today. It is believed here that Mexi-
cans who fired on 13 troopers Of the
18th cavalry, wounding one, were
members of one of these bands.
Gen. Pershing has sent back cav
airy attachments to attack and dis
perse these bands.
Stories that American troops are
withdrawing because Villa had re-
covered and was recruiting an army
to fight American troops have been
circulated among Mexican poems and
are believed responsible for new out
break of banditry.

took place during the preceding ten
years on each share. An almost iden-
teal increase took place during the
preceding ten years. A part Of this
increase is unquestionably due to the
reinvestment of earnings, but this is
more than Offset by the enormous
issues of stock dividends, which in
the aggregate amount to hundreds
of millions of dollars. .
Now these figures are so enormous
and so startling that they may seem
incredible. But just consider that
the American people spend annually
for Iuxuries more than six billion dol
lars, of which more than two billions
are spent for intoxicating liquor, and
you will readily see that forty-six bill
lion dollars must be a very conserva-
tive estimate Of the total national in
come.

Selig takes the pictures at his studio

The Essanay studios are equipped
with artificial lighting facilities which
enable its producers to stage plays
