Ten per cent, including incomes above §: 300, had nearly 35 per cent of the total; the most prosperous 20 per cent, in- cluding incomes above $1,750, had 47 per cent. Eighty per cent of the income receivers had incomes be- lodv. $1,750, receiving about 53 per cent of the total income. Shares of Labor and Capital In most of the years since 1913, the bureau finds that in the prin-| cipal organized industries, wages and dnlaries were about.70 per cent of the total income; while capital (including management) received about 30 per cent, out of which were paid rent,| interest and profits; but these pro- portions varied materially with rela- tive prosperity and depression. In 1916, for example, the skare of capi-| tal increased to about 35 per cent, with, 65 per cent to labor, while in 1919 capital’s share fell to about 22| per cent, while labor got 78. Of the| total payments to employes in the| highly organized industries, about per cent goes to the manual workers and clerical staffs, while 8 per cent gzoes to officials. Share of the Farmer The farmers, who, during the past decade, have made up about 16 per cent of the total of the gainfully em- ployed, had from 12 to 13 per cent of the national income in the years be- tween 1910 and 1916 inclusive; since 1917 they hawve been receiving 16 to 17 per.cent, or a somewhat . higher proportion.

BUSINESS MEN HEAR PLANS OF ARMS PARLEY (Continued from Page 1) Assistant State Manager Chippman was present and suggested that he be called upon to outline the plan of the Equitable Life Insurance com- any in cities where a district office was established. Mr. Chippman briefly outlined the Equitable home building plan, show- Chicago, Oct. weak. Receipts 1 ing how owners can obtain a loan | on their homes at 6 per cent interest and at the same time secure protec- tion for their family. “The Equitable has made it a pol- icy to provide a form of insurance to meet every home need,” said Mr. Chippman, “and propose to make it vossible for people to own their own homes and have them paid for. In| St. Paul about 50 per cent of the people have their homes mortgaged, in ten years. The plan, when' you make a loan, is to permit you to pay for your home, by paying monthly the same as rent, and in case you die before it is all paid for, the company will give your | heirs a clear title to the property:. The plan really means that you can | secure money for less than 6 per cent | when the value of the policy is deduct- ed. We hope to open un office in some ! live city in this section of the state and, if Bemidji looks most favoranie, it will be Bemidji.” 4 Mr. Chippman’s talk was onthusi- astically received, and many ex- pressed a desire to co-operate with | the Equitable representatives in every | respect. ¥ j President M. W. Deputy, at the | ovening of the session, gave a short | outline of the work accomplished by‘ the education meetings held here last | week and advised that a permanent | organization had been formed and | the city would be practically assured | of the meeting nexy year. Some per- manent meeting place must be select- ed and h ehoped that Bemidji would be favored in this regard.

The Red Cross has a great mission in the days of peace ‘as well as in the turmoil of war. First of all, our duty is to the disabled ex-service men. Every v they must carry the burden of services to our country. We must help them bear it. “More than this, humanity in general is too frequently subject to disaster and destruction. The call for sudden help ever recurs. it is imperative when it comes and is often of so great extent as to require a rescuing agency of great means and power to be at hand. The Red Cross must not fail to heed these calls. “I am confident that the people of our country will confinue to answer the-roll call of the Red Cross and that thus will be enlisted the greatest peace time army ever known for emergency rellef of suffering hu- manlty.” Giant Searchlight.
