In the same address the President
made a vigorous plea for a national
Inheritance tax which would make /,
impossible for vast fortunes to be
handed on from father to son, with
constantly growing power and po.
tency, simply through their inherent
power of accrction. There can be nu
doubt that the accumulation of such
vast power as lodges in the fortune

menace to the rights and privileges of
men who might come into conflict

for gold would become a thing of the

would then lose a prolific source Of
corruption and in time, might even
find himself without a profession.
