Reports from the National Congress show' a cut in ap propriations. This is a splendid example for North Car olina. It would at least mean no occasion for increased taxes. SOME CHEERING STATISTICS We're getting richer. That is the gist of the report . * just issued by the Department of Commerce on t lie in comes of the American people. We haven't got back to where we were in 1929, when the average income of every American,- man, woman and child, was $668, but for the year 1937 the average income was $540, which is a good deal better than the $4!?4 of 1936. Statistics are .boring, ai|d often misleading, but il is interesting to learn that tire total national income. for 1937 was more than 63 billion dollars, ten per cent high er than in J!)36, but still a long way below the 1929 re jcord of over $1 billions. y /A billion is such a big figure that it doesn't mean much to most folks. It is easier to understand it' you think of * ? a thous'and towns with a thousand people in each town and every one of them having a thousand chit-kens. That would make a billion chickens. One of the heartening things about the Department of Commerce report on incomes is thai in T!0!7 the people of this country earned more than they spent. Not the government, but the people themselves. We accumulated a surplus in the shape of savings baiik deposits anil business reserves) Another interest ing fact hidden in the long string of figures i- that more than two-thirds of all the money spent by everybody in. the whole nation in 1937 went for salaries and wugw>. which -is an inf-rease over previous years. There is so much talk on all sides about the trouble so many folks have in making* both ends meet that many of us seem to liavtj/been Mften by the "poverty bug. Such figures as those cited should make us ?? II teel nity.'c i cheerful. America is I'aV from broke.
