Total Ma Per Capita Per Capita
Distribution Of Income.

The report says that only one out
of a hundred Il per cent? income re-
ceivers in the United States In 1918
had Incomes Of $1,000 or more, and
that this one per cen had II per cent
Of the national income. Five per cent,
representing incomes above 5000,
had 20 per cent Of the total. Ten per
cent. including income above $1,000,
had nearly 35 per cent of the total +;
the most prosperous 20 per cent, In
Guiding income above $1.750, had about
AZ per cent. Eighty per cent Of the
income receivers had incomes below
$1,750, receiving about So per cent Of
the total income.
Shares Of Labor and Capital.
In most Of the years since 1917, the
bureau finds that In the principal or
ganized Industries, wages and salaries
were about 20 per CEN Of the total In
come; while capital (includlng man
agement) received about 80 per cent,
out Of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va
rled materially with relative prosper
ity and depression. In 1915, for ex-
ample, the share Of capital increased
to about IS per cent, with 65 per cent
to labor, while In 1919 capitals share
fell to about % per cent, while labor
got about Is. OF the total payments
to employees in the highly organized
industries, about 81 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical STATS,
while 8 per cent goes to officials.
Share Of the Farmer.
The farmers, who during the past
have made up about 10 per
cent of the total of g~ainfully employed,
had from IL to - per cent Of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1916 inclusive; since 1917
they have been receiving 10 to IL per
or a somewhat higher proper
ton, as the following figures from the
show:

Individual Contribution
Income In Other Countries.

Both the total national income and
the per capita income are larger In
the United States than In any other
country. The report estimates this as
the relative standing of the four coun-
tries named at the outbreak Of the
War.

Contribution Of Housewives.

The contribution Of the 100000 600
American housewives is not included
by the bureau In the national income
because they are not paid in money.
But the report points out that II they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense of personal
and domestic s~ervice) their addition to
the total national income would be
about one-thlrd. or IS billions. On
that basis. the bureau gives the follow
ing ~conjectural figure as to the fiuctua-
ton Of the housewives contribution
to the nationoal income since 1909:
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1921-10-28

ties such as education and road-build-
ing. produce only about half Of the na-
u0nal income. The rest is due to the
efforts Of small Independent workers.
Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the num-
Der Of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000, a 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2.9Os.O 900 persons having
over 5000, and their total reported
income was less than IA billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due In part
to technical evasions and straight lille
gal wtthhOldings. but also in part to
the existence of ~tax-exempt income.
What this means in terms Of the In
come tax is that the government re-
ceived In 1918 about half a billion dol
lars less than 1t would have, IL all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.

A statement issued recently by E.
T.. Loomis. president of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, regard
ing the presene railroad is of par
ticular interest to the people OF this
vicinity where so many railroad
employees live and where 50 many
industries are served by the Lehigh
Valley railroad. Mr.. Loomis said:
Two important questions affecting
our national transportation service
are before the public at this time.
Various unions of railroad workers
are taking or have taken strike
votes and their spokesman have fill
ed the air with threats of complete
tieups. This is the problem of labor.
The other is that of freight rates.
As / view the situation 1T Is impos-
sible to comply completely with the
demands of labor and many ship
pers and give the American people
the character of transportation SER
vice they desire and to which they
are entitled.
Wage increases granted during
Federal control and subsequently by
the Labor Board amounted approx
imately to 90 per cent above those
paid in 1917. These increases
probably were necessary. I am a
strong believer that the best eff
cheney is obtainable only from a
force of satisfied men, who are not
only receiving a living wage, u
