different in 1047 the man who uants an investment income of 1200 now requires 48000 to do the job this amount must be accumulated at ruin ously low interest rates and under a heavy burden of tsrxation todays money rate is from two and shslf to three per com a lone way from the comfortable six per cent of the twenties and todays taxes male the actual yield even lower suppose for example that a

10000 his actual investment yield will be only 186 per cent and should he aspire to an income of 30000 his investment yield will be only 139 per cent after taxes these figures speak for themselves
