Ourselves and Industry
How Wealth is Divided
By E. E. LINCOLN

So far we have discussed mainly the
conditions governing the making OF
goods and their transfer to consumers.
Let us now consider a different prob
lem-namely, the conditions determin-
ing what portion of the wealth pro-
duced goes to each producer.
The total product of goods and
services due to the combined efforts of
labor, including managerial labor, land
and capital, in any given period con-
stitutes the gross income for that
period.
In creating this income, however,
some existing wealth is destroyed. For
example, coal is burned, machinery is
worn out, and so on. Hence certain
proportion of the gross income must
be used for replacement of buildings,
raw materials, machinery and other
equipment What is left after this re-
placement constitutes the total net in
come of the community.
= Now this total net income is not
brought together as a lump amount,
but as fast as It is produced it is
divided up among the various groups
iof people who, in one way or another,
| have had something to do with its
creation
f. This division OF apportiormert Of
the total income among the factors
which have produced it is commonly
called the distribution of wealth
One portion OF the net income goes
to pay for the work done by labor !;
we call this portion wages and sala-
ries. Another portion goes to pay for
the services rendered by capital; we
call this portion interest, whether It is
paid to those who lend money to others
and receive bonds or notes as the evil
dence of their loan, or whether it
merely accrues to the benefit of the
owners who put only their own money
into the business. A third portion goes
to pay for the use of land; we call this
portion rent
Whatever is left after wages, rent
and interest are paid remains in the
hands of the business organizer or

risk-taker as profits of management.
If the business is incorporated, this
residual amount of money may be dis
tributed to the stockholders, or own
ers, as dividends" and a portion
should be retained in the business as
earned surplus sort of reserve
to draw upon for the future if earn
ings are less satisfactory.
All Our income may be Chased under
one or more of these four heads. One
mans income may consist wholly of
his wages or salary; another may de-
rive his income from interest on his
invested capital; another from the
rent of his lands; and still another
may derive part of his income from
each of these sources and in addition
may pick up profit con the side" by
trading in securities or real estate.
Each of these four kinds of income
is absolutely essential to the conduct
of modern business. No one will dis
pute the fact that wages must be paid
to workers. We shall see later why
rent, interest and profits are also nee
essary.
Since this division of wealth Is nee,
essary to further production, let Us
next consider the general principles
governing the method of its distribu-
ton. In other words. what is the chief
influence determining whether the
share which goes to each group of
producers shall be large or small. The
answer to this question may be
summed up in one word, productivity.
Labor receives wages because It is
productive. The more productive it
is, the higher the wages will tend to
be; and, contrary to popular opinion,
the lower will be the price of most
manufactured commodities. The same
principle applies in the case of the rent
of land and interest on capital.
