The matter Of accepting or rejecting
Mr.. Carnegie's library gift of S15e, COO
was last week submitted to the voters
of Albany, N. Y, and the nays carried
with 5000 majority, The Albany voter
who said no thus states his reasons.
Mr. Carnagie Is the possessor of more
money than he knows what to do with.
He has become the holder of hundreds
of millions Of dollars worth of secur-
tiles which yield him an income, 1t is
said, of between two and three million
dollars a month, and he amassed this
colossal fortune In a few years while
thousands of men who contributed
their efforts TO the upbuildng of his
industrial enterprises remained poor.
And Furthermore, the conditions under
which the gift is offered make II ol.
ligatory upon the community to bear
the expense of maintaining an instltu.
tion which is to perpetuate the fame Of
a man whose sole claim to the respect
Of hie fellow citizens is his distribution
of vast wealth, In the requirement of
which he gave no evidence of that ben
efcence which has since been so osten.
tatiously paraded. Mr.. Carnegie would
be entitled to more lasting fame had he
shared with his employees the profits of
his industries made productive by a
high protective tariff enacted to benefit
American workmen.
