"As matter Of personal conviction
and without pretending to discuss the
details. or formulate the system, feel
that we shall ultimately have to
consider the adoption of some such
scheme as that of a progressive
tax on all fortunes beyond certain
amount, either given in life or devised
or beQueathed upon death, to any in
dividual-a tax SO framed as to put it
out OF the power of the owner of one
OF these enormous fortunes to hand
on more than certain amount to any
one individual; the tax. OF course, to
be imposed by the national, and not
the state government
Such taxation should, of course. be
aimed merely at the inheritance or
transmission in their entirety of those
fortunes swollen beyond all healthy
limits.
The men OF wealth who to-day are
trying to prevent the regulation and
control Of their business In the inter-
est OF the public by the proper govern
ment authorities, will not succeed. in
my judgment, In checking the progress
OF the movement But IL they did sue
coed, they would find that they had
sown the wind and would surely reap
the whirlwind. for they would ulti-
mately provoke the violent excesses
which accompany . reform coming by
convulsion. instead OF by steady and
natural growth.
