THE ESTIMATED WEALTH OF
UNITED STATES GIVEN IN RE
PORT-SI 81,13910.001)1
Washington, D. C.? Diredor
of the census, Sam L. Rogers,
recently reported the wealth of
the United State* to be $187,739,
600,000. This roans $1,965 for
every man, woinac and child in
the country. The estimate is
made for the year 1912:
la less than two thirds of a
century? from 1850 to 1912? the
total wealth of the nation, ex
cluding tax except real e&ate,
increased from 17,136,000,000, or
$308 per capita, to $175,426,000.
000, or $1,836 per capita, the per
centages of increase being 2,358
for the total and 4% for the per
capita amounts.
In other words the wealth of
the nation as a whole is nearly
twenty-five times as great as it
was in 1850, while that of the
ibdividual is about six limes as
great.
The tax exempt real estate
was estimated at $12,314,000,000,
or $129 per capita, in 1912.
The' total and per capita a
mounts of the national wealth
for the several census arc as fol
lows:
Total (exclusive
of exempt real Per
Year property.) Capita
1912 $175,426,000,000 $1,836
1904 100^73,000,000 1,284
1900 82,305,000,000 1,083
1890 61,204,000,000 975
1880 41,642,000,000 830
1870 24,055,000,000 624
1860 16,160,000,000 514
1850 ? 7J36.000.000 308
' The value of exempt real
property is not included in the
foregoing comparison for the
reason that at the censuses of
1850 to 1870.no data relating to
this item were collected. Begin
ning wifh 1880, however, the in
quiries have covered both taxed
and exempt properly. The fol
lowing table shows the estimated
value of all Classes of wealth
combined for the census years
1880 to 1912:
. Total (taxable ~ Per
[ Year and exempt) Capita
1912 $187,739,000,000 $1,965
1904 107,001,000.000 1,318
1900 " 88.517,000,000 1,165
1890 65,037,000,000 1,036
1780 43,642.000,000 870
Some of the items which make
up the 1912 total are following:
Taxed-teal property and im
provements, $98,363,000,000.
Exempt real property and
improvements $12314,000,000.
Railroad and their equipment,
$16,119,000,000.
Mnnufadured produds (other
than clothing and personal
adornments, furniture, vehicles
and windered property) $14,694,
000,000.
Furniture, vehicles and kindred
property, $8,4oj,00fc000.
Live ?aocl?fc,23S,000,000.
Manufacturing machinery,
tools and implements, $6,091,000,

Farm implements and tnachin- '
cry, $1,368,000,000.
Telephone syfltms, $1,081,000,
000.
1 1 wilt be seen that real e&ate,
taxed and exempt, represents
nearly 60 per cent oJUthe esti
mated value Of all property.
The total wealth of New York,
$25,011,000,000, is the greatest
shown for any Slate, while Illi
nois and Pennsylvania, with
$15,484,000,000 aud $15,458,000,
000, respectively, are close rivals
for second place.- Other Elates
which rank high in total wealth,
arc Ohio, with $8,808,000,000;
California, $8,464,000,000; Iowa,
$7,868,000,000; Texas, 6,860,000,
000; Massachusetts, 6,303,000,000;
Missouri, $5,842,000,000; New
Jersey, $5,743,000,000; Minnesota,
$5,547,000,000; Michigan, $5,427,
000,000; Indiana, $5,195,000,000.
No other Slate is credited with
as murh as $5,000,000,000.
When the comparisons arc ap
plied on a per capita basis, how
ever, a very different showing is
made. The highest per capita
figure for wealth in the bauds o i
individuals nnd commercial
organizations- -that is, exclusive
of the non taxable property
owned by governmental, edu
cational, charitable and religious
institutions? is given for Nevada,
$4,865. Next in order comes
Iowa, with $3,345; North Da
kota, $3,210; California, $3,113;
Nebraska, $2,954; Montana, $2,
743; Colorado, $2,668; Kansas,
$2,525; Oregon, $2,523! and Illi
nois, $2,507
The lateSl published estimates
Of the wealth of foreign coun
tries show $108,280,000,000 for
the British empire in 1903, of
which amount $72,997,000,000
was credited to the United King
dom. The e&intatc for the
United States in 1904 was $107,
104,000,000. The wealth for Ger
many in 1903 was estimated at
$77,864,000,000.
