tho Proper Amount.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 7.-Mayor
and Governor-elect Pingree, in an
interview to-day uttered the follow
ing:
Il don't believe in these great for
tunes. Here are the Vanderbilts,
with their 800, 900, 900 apiece. That
means an income of at least $5 5,0OO,-
600 and perhaps more. Figure that
down and it means an income of
about SIP 900 day.
"Think Of it !" declared the Mayor,
raising his hands above his head;
Zone man having an income as large
as that of $1,000 of his fellow citi-
zens combined. I believe we ought
to have some kind of a law regulat-
ing those things. It seems the Con
stitution wont let Us have an income
tax and won't let US have an inheri-
tance tax. I guess the Constitution
needs amendments to it, so We can
do something.
"They talk of limiting the number
of hours in days work. Why
should not the amount Of money
that any one can pile up be limited7
After they get so much let the accu-
mutations be turned over to the gov
ernment to lessen the taxes of the
people,"
"What is your idea of a proper
sized fortune?" he was asked.
II haven't made up my mind on
that yet. When Carter Harrison
died he left $350,000 to each of his
children and gave the balance of his
fortune to charitable objects, saying
he thought $3.50, 900 enough for any
one man to have.
"Why, when you get these for
tunes up into the big millions, you
see fathers taking their daughters to
Europe for sale to a duke OF

bilts have to pay for their Dukei

From AlbiOn's shores he'd just arrived,
With plans mature and we'll c0ntrived,
And softly in the cockney tongue
He warbled out with his one lung:
Sound money!
In happy homes he saw the light
OF big log fires blaze up at night,
And as he thought of mortgage loans
He beloved forth in louder tones,
Sound money!
In church you might have heard him
sing
And praise the Lord for everything;
And If by chance he fell asleep,
He'd mix with amens loud and deep,

collision had broken every egg of the
