MONEY DECLINES
IN EFFICIENCY
Enormous Addition to the Ma.
tionaI Income Is Not Real
Wealth Increase.
DUE TO RISE IN PRICES
Eatjonal Bureau Of Economic Research,
After Exhaustive Study, Makes Pub
lie Figures Showing Variation in
Dollars Purchasing Power

New York, Oct. 27-The total ma
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 IL 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, If at all,
and large part Of those which were
produced were war materials, not of
kind really benefiting consumers.
Consequently, individual incomes,
estimated on per capita basis, rising
from $40 in 1910 and 1854 in 1913,
to 1886 In 1918, represent more dollars
but little or no real increase, because
the $3.50 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
monte Research, made public today
Of the results of 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

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
Monies and practical statistics, and
representing many divergent points of
view.
This table exhibits the main find
lngs including the equivalent value
of per capita income in terms Of the

How the Bureau Is 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 a basis for intelligent solu-
ton of national problems. The direc-
tors of the bureau are Il. 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. f. Ste
rett, of the firm of Price, Waterhouse
and company, accountants; n. l. Stone,
labor manager, Hickey-Freeman COM
pany; Allyn A. Young, professor of
economics, Harvard university: also,
the following appointed by the *
CARNATIONS named: F. p. Fish, of the

reaus
1t is rule of the bureau that each
director must approve the findings of
the research staff, or state his spe-
ciic 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 disslmilar.

ton. banking, and government acllVl-
ties such as education and roau-ouiiu-
ing. produce only about half OF the ma
tional income. The rest is due 10 the
efforts of small independent workers.
Income Tax DISCREPANCIES.
The report estimates that the num-
Der of persons in 1918 having incomes
over 5000, was 100000, and that
their total income was over 70 Dillon
dollars. Income tax returns, however,
showed only 2,90S,0OO persons having
over $1,000, and their total reported
income was less IMAM II uiiiioii wi
lars. This discrepancy is due In part
to technical evasions and straight lie
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 a billion dol
lars less than it would have, II all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution Of Housewives.
The contribution of the 2O,OOU,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 10 billions. On
that basis, the bureau gives the follow
ing conjectural figure as to the fiuctua-
ton of the housewives contribution
to the national income since 1909:
Total
Individual Contribution

Total Ma Per Capita
Distribution of Income.

The report says that only one out
of hundred Il per cent? income re-
celyers In the United States in 1913
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 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
d per cent. Eighty per cent of the
income receivers had incomes below
$3.50, receiving about SO per cent of
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 Oncluding man
agemenD received about 80 per cent
out of which were paid rent. interest
and profits; but these proportions va
ried materially with relative prosper
ity and depression. In 1915, for ex-
ample. the share of capital increased
10 about IS per cent. with IS per cent
to labor, while in 1919 capitals share
fell to about - per cent, while labor
got about rs. 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 10 per
cent of the total of gainfully employed,
had from Il TO IL per cent of the ma
tional income in the years between
1910 and 1916 inclusive: since 1917
they have been receiving l6 to II per
cent. or a somewhat higher proper.
