Business
Mirror
BY SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R-Does your in
come-in terms of real buying
power after taxes-stretch 40 per
cent farther than it did before
World War III?
The answer to that from most
people is likely to be resound-
ing mo-" yet government slide
rule boys say that, despite soaring
taxes and prices, incomes per cap
tia in the United States are 40
per cent higher than in 1889, in
terms of what can be bought with
the take-home pay.
1t seems Mr.. A. Per Capita is
sitting pretty. But where can yea
find him? Per capita covers every
one-from the neWest-bOrn unem-
ployed infant to his hard-pressed
dad struggling to feed the other
five sons and daughters; from the
panhandler on the street to the
richest man in the country.
The notion that incomes stretch
farther will find no credence with
retired persons living on a pen
sion, or the return from life saw
ings, or any other form of fixed
income. Few persons in white col
lar jobs will believe il. Nor will
the wealthy who have seen their
incomes white down by higher
tax rates in the top brackets.
And the worker who took home
a $50 a week pay check in 1899
to support his wife and two chill
dren, can find government Stats
tics to shcw that rising taxes and
higher prices on the goods and
services his family require make
Iii necessary for him to bring home
at least Sis q week now to furnish
his family with the same standard
of living. ~
Yet the government statiSticians
say that per capita incomes have
a higher buying power now. Per
capita income on the eve of the
last war was $3.50. In 1851 it was
81, 443. After deducting taxes and
translating the 1851 dollar into
terms of what dollar would buy
in 1899, last years per capita
shrinks to $3.50. Still, that $3.50 Isl 40
per cent higher than 1895 per
capita income of $3.50, Washington
officials point out. 4
This may be true for Mr.. A.
Per Capita, but it seems contrary
Ii so many persons own expert
ence and memory.
1.-THE reason that this large in
crease in real income seems sur
prising is that memories are
short says the Northern Trust
Co., Chicago, in its Business COM
naants for March
1t points out that between 1899
and 1914 per capita real incomes,
expressed in terms of fixed buy
ing power, rose sharply. Since 1914
real per capita incomes have ac-
tually fallen slightly. In other
words. during Ire war people made
more money. while prices were
held down. Since the war, prices
and taxes have soared-in many
cases faster than incomes have
increased.
People are acutely conscious of
this postwar inflatit.l without re.
membering the earlier sharp rise
