The most careful estimates we have
place the total income of the United
States at about $4,000 100000 in
1910, at $4,000, 100000 to s5O,OOO.-
100000 at the time We entered the war
in 1917. and at $50, 900, O00 900 to $780,
600, 100000 in 1913. The rapid in
crease was due in part to an actual
increase in physical output variously
estimated at from l 5 to so per cent
and still more to high prices, which
caused a writing up in monetary
terms. Our most accurate statisti-
clans have calculated that if the gov
ernment took all the income of all the
wen-to-do, say. of all those receiving in
comes over $1,000 when the war broke
out. the sum total would not be equal
to the S,OOO,OOO,OO0 or more re-
Quired for the current year. This is
on the assumption of leaving nothing
even for the living expenses of the
weIl-to-G DO. From this it is evident
that something must be obtained from
small investors and wage earners. So
walk up and pay your income tax
cheerfully.

WHERE INTERESTS CLASH.

The American position at the peace
conference has been unofficialfy rep
resented as one of opposition to an
snexations and of insistence upon the
INSTRUMENTATION OF all the Pacific
islands taken away from Germany.
Already we have seen that Premier
Hughes of Australia, unanimously up
held b. the people he represents at
the peace conference. has expressed
his surprise that the United States
should wish to deny to Australia the
right to retain the islands that her
forces took from Germany. Dis
patches from Paris tell US that con-
siderable feeling has been manifested
over the matter
Now we are informed that Japan

the Caroline and Marshall groups of
islands that she took from Germany
during the war. Here is new COM

THE AVERAGE MAN.

I'VE are at last learning that the
business OF government is to take cOun-
sci for the average man."-President
Wilson.
and 1.-The fellow who goes to work
at eight-or beforehand who quits at
five-or after-to the Average Man
we insist, these words by President
Wilson in his speech before the gov
ernors' and mayors conference in
Washington yesterday will so rafting
down in economic history.
After all is said and done. it is the
Average Man who keeps the world
from skidding.
We stand in awe of the great poll
tician and we throw our hats in the
air in recognition of his oratory. We
fear the capitalist and shudder at his
influence. We sympathize with the
farmer but gaze in wonderment at his
motor cars. We bare our arms in
unity with the muscular working man
and stand in rapture at the view of
his wage scale:
But the Average Mamie is the salt
OF. the earthl
The Average Man has no coupons to
clip. He doesn't burn gasoline for
pleasure. He has no organization to
plead his wage case. He chuckles not
over waving fields of grain and fat
tened hogs.
The Average Man is the street car
strap hanger. Tucked under his arm
in the evening is something for sup
per-not dinner. The Riddles rush
down the street to meet him and an
aproned wife looks up from the steam
ing stove and bestows chapped lip
kiss. In the evening a picture show
or counsel with the wife over the
prospects of a spring suit and some
school clothes for the youngsters. He
is honest. he is Industrious, he pays
his bills and he loves and appreciates
what life may have in store for him
T When the laboring man is given an
! increase in salary by. the corporation
the Average Man pays the cost. 1t is
assessed against him eventually. The
luxuries of the rich are traced to the
| Average Mans contingencies. The
| farmer is guaranteed his price-and
Mr., Average Man pays it.
| Day in and day out you find the
Average Man always ready, always
available, always penetrable.
Lightning strikes him from above
and the earthquake shakes him from
| below. But he never flinches-not
the Average Man. He cannot afford
to finch. He must keep steam in hi:
/ L.
are the kiddies. The course of this
Average Man is straight ahead-hs
must go forward. Only death sound,
his retreat.
Now comes President Wilson with
a plea for the Average Man. A plea
think of it!-an honest and public
recognition of this man Jones whC
pays the freight.
Pinch yourself this evening. Mr.
Average Man. If you feel it, it is true

1t is announced that Princess Patri-
cha. who has just been married, sent
to the United States for silks for her
trousseau. This lends interest to a
statement By the National City bank
of New York regarding the growth of
the silk industry in this country, and
the rapid increase in the expectation
of silk products. Ehe silk factories OF
the United States. it says, are now
turning out products valued at APP
proximately $50O.O00.00O year
against s1OO,000.O0 in 1900. and
100000 a year at the beginning
of the war. The expectation of silks
in 1900 mounted to only a quarter of a
million dollars. while in 1918 it wa:
approximately s2O,O00.OO0.
