/ Colossal Fortunes OF Trust Mag.
mates Threaten Free institutions.
The rapid growth of plutocracy in
| America since the civil war appeal $
/ traught with danger to other than the
socialists. SO able and conservative Il
man as President Logan, of the New
York State Bar association, i'm Il speech
before that body, has urged that all
of the estate of a rich man over and
| above S10.0O0,OOO should be turned over
to the state at his death ''for use in
| the amclioration of social conditions,
| the bettcrment of the masses of the
people and the enhancement of civil
ization." While ii may be argued with
force that such n system would be at
tended by many evils, not the least
of which would be that the spending
of the money thus acquired by the
state would fall to politicians and
create a condition of affairs not to
be preferred to the plutocracy. GER
nous private fortunes and their trans
generation is creating conditions of
much peril.
We boast that we live in republic,
but ON the money question we are
more downtrodden than any of the
monarchies. 1t costs large sums to
support kings and queens, it is true.
Here are some figures of royal annual
expenditures The queen of England,
S2.7G5,OOo: the German emperor, 3d.
752,77D; the emperor of Austria, 49,
$4,000; the king of Italy. s2,s5s,ooO;
the king of Spain. S20oo.ooo; the car
of Russia, $6.50s,315. This is q to-
tai of sci ,s59,0s5.
The president of the United States
receives $4,000 a year. But we have
our kings-our uncrowned kings, our
kings of finance. John ID. Rockefeller
| is one of them. The Standard Oil
company, of which he is the animat-
ing spirit. has recently declared a
/ quarterly dividend of S25.OOO,OOO This
4 is at the rate of 500, 100000 a year. OF
/ this at least .one-qnarter goes direct
4 ly TO MIR. Rockefeller. But this is BY
no means his only income. He has
| investments in mines, steamers, street
I and steam railroads and banks. What
his total income is he perhaps does
not know himself, and it goes rolling
on and on, gathering more millions,
4 like Il SNOWFALL down hillside. His
income makes the expenditures of
six royal families of the old world
plebeian by contrast.
Andrew Carnegic's income is far
greater than the yearly expenditures
OF these royal courts and he and
Rockefeller could pay the court eX-
pcnses of the world and not suffer a
iot. II may be pleasing to some to
realize that America is so prosperous
that riches may accumulate in this
fashion, but 1T is the people, after all,
! who pay. Arc these mammoth for
tunes healthy to the future of this
/ nation? This is serious question
which will make its own reply soon
er or later.-Boston Traveller.
