ture contributes about II per cent OF
the total manufacturing about 30 per
cent, transportation about per cent,
little more than 3 per cent, banking
little over l per cent. The many
miscellaneous employments, profess
sional men, retailers, jobbers, mer-
chants, domestics, etc, too numerous
to list specifically, contribute 33 per
cent. In other words, our highly or
ganized industries, even If we include
all manufacturing, mining, transporter
tion, banking, and government activi-
ties such as education and road-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 $1,000, and their total reported
income was less than IA billion dol
lars. This discrepancy is due in part
to technical evasions and straight ille-
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 it would have, If all
persons receiving $1,000 had paid their
full amount.
Contribution of Housewives.
The contribution of the 20,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 18 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:

SALES MANAGER
CITES OPTlMiSM
OF RHO CONCERN
Declares Belief in Future of
Industry Leads to Quality
Policy.

Yes. we are optimists." says +. G..
Rueschaw. sales manager OF the REQ
Motor Car Co. and REQ business
r.Ea- through the past winter IS the
besl proof that optimism pays.
"Of course you cannot cultivate
optimism, It must be inherited" says
the sales manager. but we REQ folk
just seem 10 have been all endowed
with the quality from the very first.
However. there is a great differ
c1ce between optimism and over
confidence. This latter quality has
led many manufacturers into the
error Of over-producing quantity but
under-producing quality. with the
Inevitable result.
Having been. as it were, born
and bred in the automobile busi-
ness. and having started at the
same time that the industry did, we
have always had a profound faith
in the stability OF this industry and
that faith has been increasing dur
ing the past few months when others
were talking about hard times
1T was our belief in the long
future of the industry, not in its
mere momentary condition. that
led US to adopt policy Of quality
rather than vast quantities in the
first place.
"Of course there must have been
something else back of that. Some
men just naturally run TO quality
while others Just as naturally seem
20 overlook that and think only OF
how many.
However. If we had not believed
that the future of this industry was
greater than its past or its present,
we might have fallen into the error
others did.
"That there is always a demand
for quality has been amply proven
in the past few months when a few
cars enjoyed an unprecedented de-
mand while others suffered from an
almost total eclipse.
Another thing that gives US much
qualification is the evidence so un-
mistakably shown that the public.
which is so often accused of not
knowing values. does know and does
appreciate quality.
"Of course when there is a de-
mand twice as great as the supply
of all kinds Of commodities, it looks
as If the public did not know the
difference simply because it takes
what it can get. AS soon as the
ratio between supply and demand
gets anywhere near a balance, how
ever. and especially when the sup
ply is a little on the heavy side, then
we see that the public does know
values and does discriminate.
Business has been wonderful
with REQ all along and is going to
continue 10 be wonderful for the
simple reason that we are going 10
continue the old REQ policy.
"We probably never will be able
to make enough cars TO supply the
world. but that is not our ambition.
"My advice to those who are try
ing 10 find the secret to success In
this business is Make less Of them
but make them better"
