A great deal is heard in these days
ABOUT attacks on the rights oil property,
and It is Indeed unfortunate that the
Wild and revolutionary talk Of a certain
class OF agitators should find even as
much response as it does among part Of
the population. But let wealth remem-
Der the duties it owes to society and the
dangers that menace its rights will van
ish and the power Of the revolutionary
agitator will cease. Let wealth pay i,s
fair proportion Of taxes; let it help
rather than hinder the work Of securing
a revenue system that will make it cas-
Ter to apportion the burdens of taxation
fairly and eqnitabIy among the MEM
bers Of the community. Let honest
wealth array itself on the side Of the
public and honest government
when inscriptions wealth is trying to .
pluder the public. In short let wealth I
the responsibilities which it .
yves to society, and this rights which it
;lams will he accorded without ques-
ion.-Chicsgo Record. !,
