The national income in 1910, as can be demonstrated from federal statistics, was approximately THIRTY SIX AND ONE-HALF BILLION, inatead of thirty billions, at which It | has generally been emimated The Income which was Intentionally and unintentionally D in making these estimates of national income was that rived from THE INCREMENT IN THE VALUE OF PROPERTY. Thies omitted income, amounting to more than six billion dollars a year in 1910, is exactly the Income which la most largely subject to the Income tax.
