Show Pacre Two THE PARK RECORD Thursday, July 7, 1933. Final Letter Of Series From Charles Moore (Note This Is the second of two letters or articles which are intended to supplement the eight articles which have appeared in The Record within the last two or three months.) CHAS. MOORE. Dear Mr. Moore: In your controversy with Mr. he makes such preposterous statements, regarding re-garding the distribution of wealth and of income In the United States that It should not go unchallenged. His statement state-ment that of every 300 people In the United States, one person owns 78 per cent of the "national wealth" and the remaining 299 own only 22 per cent Is so at variance with. -the facts that It Is ridiculous. The records of the United States Bureau of the Census show approximately approximate-ly this: Approximately 20 per cent of the people of this country own no ascertainable ascer-tainable wealth these are negroes, Indians, In-dians, Mexicans and indigents chiefly living in cities, Insane persons and generally gen-erally personsjunder public charge. Seventy-five per cent of the people own approximately 85 per cent of the national na-tional wealth and 5 per cent of the people own approximately 15 per cent of the national wealth. These figures are difficult to determine with exactness because be-cause of the fact that there are many cross charges a bank, or an Insurance company may own a mortgage on a farm, but the money they loan is made up by the depositors of the bank .ox the owners nnllrlps. Refer Mr. to the American Society of Economic Research, to the Brookings Institution and to some of the publications of the insurance companies, (the Metropolitan Life has something on this.) i The data is much more complete on the distribution of income of the people of this country. Dr. Harold Moulton of the Brookings Institution fcas within the last year published a book on this "Distribution of Wealth and of Income of the People of the United States." This shows that 66 per cent of our total Income In-come goes for wages, approximately 20 per cent of our income to farmers and small unincorporated businesses and 14 per cent to incorporated business. These figures are gross before Income taxes, so the approximately 40 per cent of the gross Income of our corporations that goes to stockholders In the higher brackets brac-kets Is reduced again, from 25 per cent to 68 per cent for Federal Income taxes, alone. We realize, of course, that our distribution dis-tribution of wealth and of Income is not Ideal; probably short of the mlllenium It never can be made Ideal; for we must recognize that there Is a tremendous variation In the earnings of different twoDle. Luck. too. plays a great part In the income of people, but it does not show in the Income returns. For example a man may discover a mine or an oil well, or sell a manufacturing plant that he has built up by 40 years of labor and v,i ir..nmo Rhnws that it took place In i lust one year. Often times within a few ! years he loses this in an unfortunate venture-but this does not show. The ! year he loses his money, which does not 1 appear in the Income, tax returns, some-; some-; one else is fortunate and makes the same sort of a 'windfall" income. In looking over the Income tax data, we are there-nmr there-nmr tn assume that the same peo- i pie are making the same gross Income :. f.

Evidently, Mr. Is a Socialist, but I would challenge him to show one Instance In-stance where Socialism has ever been applied successfully and one instance where lt has not ended In riots, civil war and complete disintegration of the people and government. On the other hand, we know the competitive com-petitive system does work for the benefit bene-fit of all the people.

I have been very much lnwresiea your series of articles in The Park Record Rec-ord You have put your finger exactly on the sore spot in our economic situation situa-tion at the present time. Of some 13 inoH in this country, which has varied between iu ana tninixn iriM for the cast six or seven years, three-quarters of them are direct ly and indirectly unempiuyeu , ronitfli construction industries are stagnated. (Findings of the Brookings Institution.) If these three-quarters or 10 to 13 million unemployed were employed em-ployed as they normally are in developing develop-ing new mines, in building homes and office buildings, building new and better rolling stock for the railways and extending ex-tending power plants, manufacturing plants and other industries, the remaining remain-ing one-quarter of our unemployed wmiir! be aulcklv absorbed into the con sumption Industries, because our standards stan-dards of living would go up and people would be wearing more and better clothes and eating more and better food, and buying more luxuries ana semi-luxuries. semi-luxuries. , Normally, in this country we employ from 30 to 40 per cent of our entire working population in the capital ln-riiiKt.riPs. ln-riiiKt.riPs.

State ana oiner v would take half of what he had left (or half of $275,000) and then if he died his heirs would receive a net of less than $75,000, after paying death taxes. A man thus has the alternative of taking great risks by investing his money in industry and employing labor from which if he is lucky he will get very little if any return and if he is unlucky he will lose it all, or investing in government bonds which will be tax exempt and will net him 2 or 3 per cent. He invests in government bonds; the money from these bonds goes to give relief and work relief at $10.00 or $12.00 a week for a man with a family, whereas where-as the man should be earning $25.00 to $30.00 a week In productive labor and at the same time would not be piling up huge public indebtedness for his children chil-dren to pay.
