TAX RETURNS SHOW FALLING OFF BUSINESS EARNINGS Washington, D.C., Dee. 10, -- Stat- istics on the sources of the nation's income in 1927, as compiled by the Treasury Department from income tax returns, disclose a falling off in business earnings, but a gain in divie dends. While the total business income was only about $40,000,000 less in 1927 than in 1926, {it amounted to only 13.52 per cent of the total in- come as compared to 14.04 per cent in 1926. Dividends, however, to- taled about $140,000,000 more in 1927 than in 1926, representing 15.93 per ent of the total as compared to 49, The drop in business income prob- ably reflects the marked depression in industry which came in the fall of 1927. The increase in dividends, in contrast to the smaller earnings, may have come from the profits of the high industrial activity of 1926, a peak year in several industries. The total income in 1927, $26,098, 485,961, was roughly $600,000,000 greater than in the previous year. Wages accounted for sbout 910,000. 000, and were slightly greater than in the previous year. age of the total made up by wages, Jowever, fell from 39.27 per cent to 8.49, French investors lost $20,000,000 in a get-rich-quick scheme.
