American Income Facts.

THE National Bureau Of Economic Research
has just completed survey OF per capita
income in the United States which reveals
hat the American people excelently situated
the whole-although there are exceptions here
and there.
While per capita income in the United States
as a whole in 1919 s627, in the region en-
oracing the Pacific States it S7o6 and in the
Middle Atlantic States it s783. These high
figures are. in striking contrast with per capita
income of s463 in the South Central States and
s364 in the East South Central States.
The total income in the various States shows
even greater extremes, owing to the disparity OF
population. The people Of the Middle Atlantic
States alone received than one-fourth Of the
entire Income of the country in 1919, and with
The East North Central States received nearly one
half OF it. On the other hand the people Of the
Twelve Southern States comprising more than 81
per cent of the population received less than IS
per cent of the total national income.
New York again heads the list of per capita
incomes; with Ss74. Nevada, California, Delaware,
Wyoming and Massachusetts, are next with per
capita incomes around $500 The average income
of the gainfully employed shows variations from
the per capita income. due to the wide differences
in the character Of the employment OF the popula-
ton OF the various States. South Dakota and
New Iork head the list with Just over 9zooo, Whie
on the other hand Alabama and Mississippi are
both under 5000.
The wide variations in the incomes of farmers
are well known, but how wide these differences
are may be surprise. Farmers in the Pacific
States in 1919 had an average income of over
s2,soo; in the West North Central States their
average was $4,000. These figures may be con-
trasted with the average Of SLIGO for farmers in
New England, SI,34o in the South Atlantic States
and .ess than $1,000 in the East South Central
The total income of the South is largely de-
rived from farming. The South Atlantic States
draw, about one-fourth of their income from this
SOURCE and the South Central States about one
third The. only other group of States that is
equally dependent on farming is the West North
Centtarstates, which draw about one-third Of their
income from this source. In contrast with these
States New England and the Middle States draw
less than-4- per cent of their income from agricu-
ture.
These figures compared with those which could
be furnished from any other nation on the globe
are remarkable regardless of the high cost OF living

All Sorts Of Gambling.

noticed that You aided and abetted
the thing you condemn BY printing
the selection for people to risk
their money-to gamble on. To my
mind this is the height of incon-
sistency and for that reason your
editorial should have little weight
with the open minded reader. The
subject OF gambling Is broad one,
as old as the world itself, since
everything In this life. excepting
death and taxes, is a gamble. Even
first mortgages and bonds are not
sure things. The people who orig.
inally started The Herald. or any
other paper for that matter. were
gambling and the odds against their
success was as great as many
games Of chance. There was no
assurance that the enterprise would
be o success; II was not . success
for those who originally "invest-
ed" or rather gambled-bought
stock sounds more respectable
that II would be. and the writer
knows that they lost their money.
II not all, q great deal Of 1t. and
since there Is no certainty in any

1t Is admitted that gambling houses

The public cannot close its eyes to the tact
that a hard winter is coming. Even the most
rigid government regulation cannot compensate for
fuel which does not exist. The coal strike already
has progressed so long that the miners cannot
make up for lost production before cold weather
There is one thing possible for the average

Keeping the Dens Closed.

~ ROPRIETORS of gambling houses in the
/ Virginia and Maryland suburbs Of Wash
ington have closed their places of business, tenn
porariIy while the force of the present series OF
exposures is felt They intend to open them again,
however, as soon as the public indignation has a
chance to diminsh-as it will when the newspaper
articles stop. One already has opened its doors.
The danger is that State authorities aroused
by the accounts of eye-witnesses will allow tho
whole matter to drop after immediate and hasty
investigation They will find buildings where a
few nights ago dice and poker hourished as dark
and quiet as crossroads churches and report that
nothing illegal can be found.
Then the gamblers will open their doors again
and the whole nuisance will continue unrestraned
until it is exposed again. Prince Georges, Mont
gomery and Arlington county officials must not
be satisfied with superficial examination Let
them keep the buildings under surveillance for a
month or more They will see plenty which will
warrant legal action.

In reading this paragraph over
ask myself this question: Is this

DREMIER PoINcARE proposes as part Of
his penalty program against Germany the
establishment of an independent state in the Rhine
provinces He would create another Belgium as
the battle-ground for future wars between France
and Cermany-wars which, it sometimes seems,
nothing short of the millennium can prevent.
; There is little prospect that this proposal will
be taken seriously Great Britain and Italy would
object too strenuously. The real danger is that
French agents will be able to stir up revolt IN
the Rhineland ITSELF The people live in an atmos-
ohere of nervous uncertainty and there is revo-
lutionary element Of no mean proportions in the
larger towns.
This is one good reason why handful OF
American troops, at least, should stay at Cooienz.
They serve as a stabhzing influence for the
burghers While the American flag Hoats over
the banks of the river there is little prospect OF
Rhennish revolt When that flag is removed II
Is impossible to predict what may happen Ger
tanly nothing would be gained by a return to the
condition whilh obtained before the establishment
