paperi
Inherited wealth is a big handicap to

Why should inherited wealth be "a big
handicap to happiness?" Why must the
possessor of it labor simply to add to
what may be an over-sufheiency?" Why
should a man who gets millions from his
father be unable to make himself the archi-

rHE PROOF OF THc PUDDING.


Members Of the Real Estate ex-
change who have been identified in the
movement for tax reform persistently
deny that Erastus Benson has anything
In common with the franchised corpora
tions and railroad corporations, but
their denial does not disprove stubborn
facts.
If Mr.. Benson has nothing in common
with the franchised corporations, why
is 1t that the street car conductors and
motormen have been peddling Benson
pledges to the passengers on the street
cars?
Why is it that men employed on the
payroll of the gas company and men
known to be indirectly connected with
the two corporations named are boom
ing Benson and opposing MooresP
If Mr.. Benson has nothing in common
with the franchlsed corporations, why
are the political mercenaries employed
by Fred Nash, president Of the Thorn
SON Houston Electric Lighting company,
plugging for Benson7
If Benson has nothing to do with the
franchised corporations. why 'are the
political wire pullers Of the telephone
company drumming and fling for Ben
son?
If the railroad corporations have moth
ing in common with Mr.. Benson, why is
the general agent Of the Missouri
Pacific and his subordinates openly
talking up Benson and talking down
Moores?
If Benson hasn't some understanding
with the railroad corporations, why are
all the Burlington politicians, with the
exception of Lee Spratlen, talking and
working for Bensonf
If Erastus Benson has nothing in
common with the corporations, why was
there such a promiscuous distribution
of Benson pledges in the Union Pacific
headquarters Immediately after Benson
was projected as the business mems
candidate for mayor2
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. The warm support Mr.. Benson
is receiving from the corporations can
only be interpreted in two ways. One
is that Mr.. Benson is satisfactory to the
corporations and may be expected to dc
their bidding. The other is that Mr.
Benson is being used as a cat'spaw by
the corporations to defeat Moores and
elect Howell The latter is the most
charitable view of the Benson candi
dacy and doubtless will be accepted by
most people who are not willing to be
lieve that Benson is an out-and-out cor
poration man.
