More Money To Spend

It is good news which comes from the Depart
ment of Commerce, that the national income of the
people of the United States for 1886 was OOO
O00 BY national income" the Department means all
of the money that was spent by everybody in the
United States It includes wages and salaries money
spent for the purchase of materials for manufacture
and on down to the last penny paid across the re-
tail grocers counter.
This figure is not as high as that of 1929 when
the total money which changed hands was estimated
at OOO but it is higher than in any of
the three preceding years. The year 1888 the low
water mark in which only $44 940,000O 900 was spent
and In that year great deal OF the money paid out
came from previous savings.
There probably around 5O,0OO,OOO persons,
and women who receive and spend all of the mon
ey that is received and spent in the United States
These 5000O,O00 carry the other 8000O000 on their
backs On that basis of calculation the average cash
income of the American family for last year was
little over 81 600 each. The highest it reached
was a little over $1,000 per family. We never had a
total income of as much $100,0O00O0,0O in single
year.
Of course, these figures relate only to actual
money which changed hands They do not take into
account any of the subsistence which the 100000
farm families got from their land If that could
be reduced to cash basis the total and the average
income would be considerably increased.
From one point of view this national income of a
little over $1,000 year per person seems very low,
but it is practically double the average income of the
people of England and of France and nearly three
times that of the people of Germany and Italy
We feel hard up in America simply because we
don't handle as much money we did for few years,
but that feeling of poverty is matter of standards
At the very depth of the depression the general run
of Americans had more comfort and luxury than the
average European ever hope to acquire.
It is good news indeed that we are on our way
back toward what we had learned in the 1920s to re-
gard as the American standard Of living.

They've All Been Notified

date for President and his running mate Frank Knox,
have been officially notified Of their nominations
something they had known for weeks, the campaign
can be expected to get under way in full swing.
All sorts of wild predictions are being made by
Republican Chairman Hamilton as to the outcome of
the election and that gentleman is doomed to awaken
with a severe headache on the morning of November
4th if he actually thinks Landon and Knox will win
We have hunch, however, that Hamilton, in making
such predictions is simply trying to fool the voters
and that down in his heart he knows President Roose-
welt will be reelected
The people will see to it that the Nations great
humanitarian = Franklin D. Roosevelt - is given
second term and will not change horses in the middle
of the stream

IS CONFIRMED HERE

The plan of the Ocean Express to route shipments to Alaska via rail to Prince Rupert and by mail boats to Alaska has received the approval of the San Francisco headquarters of the ILA which has notified Geo Cox, ILA delegate in Juneau to that effect.
 The entire operation will be en- tirely fair and free of any difficult ties for anyone, according to tele- gram received this morning by Ben Hogins, Juneau agent for the Ocean Express.
 Ocean Express involves no hand ling by longshoremen, according to Cox, but is handled by boat crews. It will be loaded directly onto trucks which will deliver the express to the Interocean office on the Juneau Commercial Dock, Agent Hogins said.
 A weekly, and possibly twice week ly, service is planned, according to the Juneau agent. How the express will be handled from Prince Rupert is not yet known, though it is pos sible a special boat will carry it, Hogins said.
 The Interocean office in Seattle advised that this routing has also been approved by the Department Of Commerce as to legality with ref erence to the Jones Act, which pro- hibits the shipment of American goods from one American port to another by foreign vessels.
