The message this year will rank in
Importance with others which Mr.
Roosevelt has transmitted during his
incumbency, and 1t is possible to give
forecast of its principal features,
Without doubt the most vital recon-
mendatlon relates to the necessity of
formulating a method of regulating the
growth of great fortunes in this Coun,
try.
The President will urge Congress to
devise a scheme of progressive TAXA
tion on all fortunes beyond certain
amount. either given in life or 1evts,
ed or beuueathed upon death to any
individual. He believes 1t has an un-
wholesome effect upon the common
veal for swollen estates to pass from
generation to generation, and he would
like to see a tax so framed as to put
It out of the power OF the owner OF
one Of these fortunes to hand ,lown
more than certain portion to any
one Individual.

Mrs. Sage Tells What She Proposes
To Do With the Millions Left By
The Noted New York Financier

NEW YORK, Nov. 13--Reports that
the widow Of Russell Sage meant to
use her many millions Of dollars 10
endow home for aged teachers and
in fund to educate young men for
the church, drew from Mrs. Sage the
first definite statement Of her wishes
and purposes.
She announced through the press
that the thousands who have besleged
her in importunate guest for money,
thousands who stretch from college
presidents to ordinary street beggars,
hive wasted their time. She will
have none of them.
Further, she is loath to endow
church or institution. feeling that the
absence of need brings lack of activ-
ity for good.
Mrs, Sage means to distribute. and
within a short time evidently. the bulk
of the fortune her husband left to her.
but she says in positive fashion that
she will give, as far as possible, TO in.
dividuals. avoiding institutions. and to
those she knows to be worthy.
Realizes How Big the Task.
How gigantic Is the task she has set
herself Mrs. Sage undoubtedly knows,
for she says simply enough that the
time is short. Mrs. Sage knows that
1t will take long TO find the individ.
ually deserving, without acting through
the agency of institutions, but her
words show she has calmly taken up
the task. How keen is the Judgment,
how careful the spirit Of her to whom
Russell Sage left his scores Of mil
lions is best shown in her own speech.
In her home in Cedarhurst, Mrs. Sage
said today:
mo one except myself knows what
disposal l shall make OF the millions
Mr.. Sage left to me. and as yet have
no settled plans as to how much I
shall give away, or to whom l shall
give. / do not, as a rule, believe in
endowments. ] look on churches and
other endowed institutions as abso-
lutely dead. Their very endowments
put them beyond the necessity for
work, thus making them Indifferent
