ture contributes about IL per cent OF
the total, manufacturing about 30 per
cent, transportation about 8 per cent.
government about 3 per cent, mining
little more than 3 per cent, banking
a little over 1 per cent. The many
miscellaneous emplOyments, profess
sional men, retailers, jobbers, mer-
chants, dOmestics, ETC., too numerous
to list specifically, contribute 80 per
cent In other words. our highly or
ganized industries, even If we include
all manufacturing, mining transporta-
ton, banking, and government activi-
ties such as education and r0ad-build-
ing, produce only about half of the ma
tional 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, was 100000, and that
their total income was over % billion
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,9OS,0OO persons having
over $4,000, 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 withholdings, but also in part to
the existence of tax-exempt income.
" hat this means in terms of the in
come tax is that the government re-
ceived in 1918 about half billion dol
lars less than it would have, if all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution Of Housewives.
The contribution of the 2O,OOO,OOO
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 if they
were paid at the lowest possible figure
(the average recompense of personal
and domestic service) their addition to
the total national income would be
about One-third, or IS billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fluctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1909:

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

HOW PURCHASING
POWER OF DOLLAR
HAS FALLEN OFF
Addition to National and Indi-
WduaI Incomes of Little Real
Benefit.
STATEMENT BY BUREAU OF
ECONOMIC RESEARCH.
Most Of Amount Due to Rise in Prices
Actual Total of Commodities Pro-
duced Increased Little, If at All, and
Few Were Benefited,

New York, Oct. 27.-The total ma.
donal 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 like increase in production. Most
OF 1t was due to the rise in prices for
the dollar of 1918 and 1919 was a much
less efficient dollar than that of 1913.
Inc actual total of commodities pro-
duced increased very little, if at all,
and a large part of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
kind really benefitlng consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on per capita basis, rising
from $40 in 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
to $5S6 in 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the 1886 of 1918 is equivalent to only
$372 in terms of the purchasing power
of 1918.
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 a years study of
Income in the United States" This
study, the most exhaustive ever made
Of the income question in this country,
has been conducted by Wesley Clair
Mitchell, Willford 1. 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
nomics 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:

It is charged that the excess profits tax
is inequitable, unjust, intricate, difficult
of administration and no longer produce
tive of sufficient revenue to justify its
continuance 1t is inequitable and un-
just because it is often collected twice
and sometimes several times. For in
stance, concerns making the engines for
automobiles, concerns making tires, the
company which assemblies the various
parts and puts the finished car on the
market and the dealer who sells the cars
to individual customers are all liable to
pay an excess profits tax. All these
taxes, large or small are passed along to
the individual buyer. The administra-
tion of the law is intricate and expensive
because an army of accountants are nec-
essary to 60 over the books of manu-
facturers and everybody else who is sup
posed to be making large profits and de-
termine how much excess profits tax
each shall pay, if any.
In behalf of the sales tax it is said that
it is equitable, of universal application,
comparatively inexpensive in collection
and will be productive of large revenue.

DON'T STRIKE, IT'S TOO LATE.

A tinancier in close touch with indus
trial creditors says that wages in many
lines are being reduced quietly. Strikes
are not called because the unions realize
they are in bad tactical position. They
are satisfied if the wage cutting is done
quietly so that their prestige is not lost.
A manufacturer in the Pittsburg district
posted a flat 20 per cent wage cut and a
union delegation called on him.
"You can't do that" they told him.
"We won't stand for it."
81 can close my shop, can't l." he re-
Joined.
The delegation walked out and never
replied by word or deed.-Wall Street
journal.
Almost every day during the last four
months new additions have been made to
the long list Of people out of employment.
The men and women in our industries,s
who have accepted a cut in wages and
have kept steadily at work are the men
and women who have thus saved the
business situation from complete collapse,
They were wise enough to understand
that crash impended A few unions
have adopted the "rule or rum" policy
and are pursuing it with considerable ar
rogance, They have arrayed public SEN
timent against them to such an extent
that they have lost all sympathy.

WILL DIG FOR ANCIENT HISTORY.

The University of Pennsylvania will
undertake next month to uncover the
ancient city of Beth-shan, now known as
Beisan, in Palestine, permission having
been obtained of the government. Prof.
Clarence S. Fisher will superintend the
work. 1t is thought no less than eight,
cities have stood on the site of Beisan,
the first one having been begun no less
than five thousand years ago. Beth
shan was strategic point and it is said
perhaps no other city has witnessed so
many battles. They began away back in
the days of Abraham, and have continued
down to the days of the recent World
War. Many noted generals have stood
before her gates, including Abraham,
Hammurubl, Sennacharib, Nebuchadnez-
Ear. Tho. hines, Saul, David, Alexander,
Pompey and Napoleon. Joshua tried to
take the city, but could not because the
defenders had tanks-or as near tanks as
that day would permit, iron chariots. In
more recent days the Crusaders tried to
take it and could not. 1t was here the
"Assyrlans came down like wolf on the
fold" and they-the Huns of that day
did take it. In comparatively recent days
it has been dominated by Greeks, Ro-
mans and Arabs. 1t is situated in the
valley of Jezreel, west of the Jordan and
near the Sea of Gallilee. 1t is within
sight of the Mount of TRANSPORTATION,
and near the home of the Witch of Endor.
Prof Fisher hopes to find in his excava-
tions marble, bronze and clay tablets with
the history of ancient times written
thereon in cuneiform characters.

That is, she has reluctantly and under
pressure promised to pay. Getting the
cash out of her will probably be some
what difficult. If the Allies are wise
they will keep their cannon trained on

within easy reaching distance of the Ruhr
Basin till they get their money. If this
is not done it will not be long before Ger
