The report says that only one out
Of hundred Il per cent? income re-
ceivers in the United States in 1918
had incomes of $4,000 or more, and
that this one per cent had il per cent
of the national income. Five per cent,
representing incomes above 1920,
had 26 per cent of the total. Ten per
cent, including income above $1,000,
had nearly 80 per cent Of the total;

income receivers had incomes below

the total income.
Shares of Labor and Capital.
In most Of the years since 1912, the
bureau finds that In the principal or
ganized industries, wages and salaries
were about 70 per cent of the total in
come; while capital Gncluding man

out of which were paid rent, interest
and profits; but these proportions va

ample, the share of capital increased
to about 80 per cent, with 60 per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about % per cent, while labor
got about 7S. OF the total payments
to employees in the highly organized
industries, about 90 per cent goes to
the manual workers and clerical stats,
while per cent goes to officials.
Share of the Farmer.
The farmers, who during the past
decade have made up about 16 per
cent Of the total of gainfuliy employed,
had from II to 13 per cent Of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1916 inclusive; since 1917
they have been receiving rs to II per
cent, or somewhat higher proper
ton, as the following figures from the
report show:

DISTRIBUTION Of
NATION s INCOME
Shown by Figures Made Public
by Bureau of Economic
Research.
WEALTH INCREASE NOT REAL
Countrys Income in 1918 Almost
Double That of 1918, but Actual
Total of Commodities Produced
Was Not Great.

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma
ttonal income of the United States In
1918 was 81 billion dollars, as com
pared with 34.4 billions In 1913; but
this increase in dollars did not repre-
sent Il like increase In production. Most
of 1t was due to the rise in prices, for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
The actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, II at all,
and large part of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
a kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on a per capita basis, rising
from $40 In 1910 and 1884 In 1913,
to 1886 In 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the 1856 of 1918 is equivalent to only
1912 In terms of the purchasing power
of 1913.
These are the most important find
ings Of the National Bureau of Eco
nomic research, made public today
in advance of the formal publication
of the results of years study of
Income in the United States. This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
Of the income question In rhis country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair
Mitchell, Willford l. King, Frederick
r. Macaulay and Oswald w. knauth,
under the auspices and direction of
board of nineteen directors, including
men prominent In many fields of bust
ness, education, labor, agriculture, eco
nomcs and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points OF
view.
This table exhibits the main find
ings, including the equivalent value
Of per capita income in terms of the
1913 purchasing power:

How the Bureau ls Constituted.


The National Bureau Of Economic
Research was organized after the war
by group of persons who had come
to realize the need for accurate and
scientific collation. Of statistical infor-
nation as q basis for intelligent solu-
ton of national problems. The direc-
tors of the bureau are T. S. Adams,
advisor to the Treasury department;
John r. Commons, of the University
of Wisconsin; John P Frey, editor Of
the International holders Journal; ;
Edwin F. Gay, president of the New
York Evening Post Harry w. Ladder,
secretary of the Intercollegiate Social
list society; Elwood Mead, professor of
rural institutions, University of Cali
fornia; Wesley Clair Mitchell, New
School for Social Research; J. e. Ster-
rett of the firm of Price, Warehouse
and company, accountants N. l. Stone,
labor manager, HickeyFreeman COM
pany; Allyn A. Young, professor of
economics. Harvard university; also,
the following appointed by the or
CARNATIONS named: F. P. Fish, OF the
National Industrial Conference board !;
Hugh Frayne, American Federation OF
Labor; David Friday, American Eco
nomic association; w. r. Ingalls,, En-
cheering council; J. M. Larkin, In

It is a rule of the bureau that each
director must approve the findings of
the research staff, or state his spe-
cific objections as part of the report.
In this way, bias is eliminated, for
methods and results are under con-
slant supervision from men whose
points of view are dissimilar.

Income Tax Discrepancies.
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons In 1918 having incomes
over $1,000 was 100000, and that
their total income was over 70 billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,9O8,0OO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than Ii billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasions and straight lille
gal withholdings, 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 billion dol
lars less than 1t would have. If all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount,
