The Value Computations

II should be observed that the census
estimates have not been made at equal
periods apart. One period is of four
years, one of eight years, and the other
three OF ten years. On account of this
variation We have computed the annual
increase of wealth in each period. (See
table.)
The graph and figures supporting it
show that the increase of ,alth since
l9lZ has been at lower r; than the
country had maintained in previous
years. We know of no index number
of prices that could be applied with alb
solute accuracy to these figures of ma
tional wealth, since the latter are made
up in varying proportions of farm land,
city property, manufacturing plants and
equipment, mineral property. agricul-
tural machinery, railroads and public
utility systems. raw materials and fin
ished merchandise. gold, silver, etc. The
foreword to the census report on
wealth, written by Professor Willford
l. King, in describing this recent change
in price level, mentions the percentage
increase uiulCdteo Dy some oOzen well
known indices and concludes:
II 10 hard to say tust what weighing
OF these index numbers would best repre-.
sent the increase In the index number Of
all wealth In the United States. Perhaps
simple arithmetic average Of all those
listed would be as close to the truth as
one computed by much more complex
methods. The average increases IN all Of
these index numbers 10 slightly over IS
per cent. If. then. wealth increased "
per cent, while the index Of prices in
creased only s. per cent. we would con.
clude that the actual Increase In the phys.
zeal wealth Of the United States was in
the ratio Of va to IsS. which would In.
dictate . growth Of about 81 per cant dur.
ing the decade. This increase seems
modest IN comparison to the large In.
crease shown N the figures when OK.
pressed In terms Of money value. Owing
to the roughness Of the data. the actual
growth may have been considerably more
or less than II per cent but the evidence
seems to indicate that the change was
not startling. and. presumably. wealth
increase during the decade showed little
tendency 10 outrun population growth.
When W consider that during Of these
10 years large part Of the PRODUCTIVE.
ties OF the nation were devoted to the
production Of materials destroyed In war.

War Retarded the Natural Growth
of Wealth in the United States

That the United States did not suffer
from the war in loss of life and IN
privations as seriously as did the coun.
tries which were the original partici-
pants, of course, Is true, but for the
FIRST time in the history of the coun-
try during the decade including the
war the per capita wealth as recorded
by the Census, when computed On a
uniform price level showed loss IN
stead of q gain.
The war was q terrible calamity, and
the losses and hsrdships which It caused
to the people of Europe are deeply
deplored in the United States. Never
thcless, whatever else has been said
of the United States, nobody as vet
has accused 1t of being responsible for
the war and chargeabie with all Ito
dire results Nor 10 there any basis for
the charge that It accumulated great
wealth from the war. Individuals
made profits out Of the war, here a,
in Europe, bat no country had a balance
of gain on that account. -

at once $2.95 and then turned to get
the balance of the change from his
till. The Earl hurried off in the d.

some difficulty that he could be stop

he stuffed the roll OF. bills into his
overcoat pocket and dashed out of
the Office.
