IL Is strange that the extremely
wealthy man is almost always prone
to cvade just taxation. The thought
cannot help suggesting itself that
maybe it is by means of such mean
ness bordering on dishonesty that
enormous wealth is usually acquired.
The man moderately rich may growl
a little when tax day comes around,
b.. he does not go and show that he
is some two hundred times poorer
than he really is. That seems to be
what Jay Gould always did. The
assessors could never get him TO own
that he had more than $500. 600. Now
the state gets more than that as one
per cent tax on his estate, and the
local assessors have raised the as
sessment to SO. 100000.
