"Hello. Neighbour you're greeted as

1t is strange how these two simple
words can mean SO much. However, they

to you they really come from the bottom

understand and make the most OF it. The
pleasure of hearing these two words ex-
pressed gives everything brighter hue and
the somber thought which tenaciously abide

THE DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.

clares that sstcn per cent of the people OF
the United States own 90 per cent Of the
nations wealth.
Such percentages are admittedly based
on the census showing total population OF
approximately 120OO0OOO, each individual
of whom is counted III these pessimistic ut
terances as at least a potential property
owner. And therein lies the fallacy. The
census of 1920 shows that 40 per cent of the
total population were 10 years of age and
younger That 40 per cent should be elinl-
mated at once for children are not presumed
to own property. furthermore the census
shows that 1874 per cent of the total popu-
lation, including women, are embraced III
the age period from 20 to A, a time in which
those who gain wealth are merely getting
started The census says that 20.8 per cent
Of the population are aged As and over It
is this age class that holds the great bulk
of the wealth Of the country, and even from
this class should be deducted a large num-

1t will readily be seen that any argll-

women and children should be expected to
own their per capita share of the nation S
wealth is necessarily fallacious and does
not present true picture Of the actual sit
uation. One thing everybody knows is that
the wealth Of America IS more equally dis

knows is that it is easier to rise from pow
