PERHS IN
GREAT FORTUNES

In an address before the American
| Associa ton For the Advancement of
Science while in session at Ithaca. n
| Y, Professor James Walter Crook OF
Amherst college recently took issue
with President Roosevelt on the ques-
ton of the limitation of great fortunes,
| says the New York Herald.
He pointed out the impossibiIity of
individuals handling great fortunes
and then sought to show that the meas
ures proposed to limit great fortunes
had grave objections. He said in part:
Fortunes may be considered as
swollen beyond healthy limits which
yield from S5.O00,0O0 to 2O,00O,00O Il
year Let us consider the possibilities
of handling such incomes. The wealthy
man who feels that he must pass the
bulk of his wealth to heirs has a task
that has invited originality in arrange
ment A wealthy fathel' puts his sons
wealth in trust till his thirty
birthday, allowing him a small sum of
So, 800 a year. An indulgent mother
raises his income to $4,000 year. He
is now Il ruined man.
1.-The three methods of relief some
times proposed are: An arbitrary limit
to the amount an individual may ac-
emulate; progressive taxation of in
comes and progressive inheritance
taxes. Where should the limit be
drawn? The limitation is repressive
and is meant to be SO. 1t would put n
premium upon relative inefficiency and
deprive society of the advantage of
beneficial enterprises. A progressive
tax on incomes high enough to accom-
plish the purpose aimed at has the
same disadvantages. There is left the
progressive tax on Inheritance AS a
tax measure aiming at. revenue I ap-
prove of it. 1t is easily collected. AS
measure to limit fortunes. however,
it seems to me more doubtful. To ac-
complish the purpose the rate must be
very high.
a tax heavy enough would involve
problem of administration. Even so
low rate as 80 per cent would mean
a tax of $15,O0OO00 for every estate of
$50.000,000, and there are now many
fortunes of that size, and in the case
of some well known fortunes the tax
would amount to upward of S43,OOO,-
600. The greatest objection Is the en-
enlargement which the heavy taxation
of the wealthy will give to extravagant
public expenditures. Our federal finan-
cial machinery is so organized and our
sources of revenue are so arranged
that it is well nigh impossible to check
extravaganza. Greater financial respon-
sibility is one of the first requirements
of good government. 1t is a maxim Of
public finance that those who spend
must be held to account by those who
pay. BY this plan the maxim is re-
versed, for by 1t those who pay are
held to account by those who spend"

HOW THE PRESIDENT WILL
EXPLORE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA

President RooSevelt'S decision to
visit the isthmus of Panama to &C
quaint himself with the situation in
the canal zone will cause the dirt to
fly, as those charged with the construc-
ton of the Panama canal will exert
themselves to make great progress in
the work before Mr.. Roosevelt arrives,
says a Washington special dispatch to
the New York World.
All the details of the trip have not
been arranged, but it is known that
President Roosevelt. accompanied by
Secretary Taft, Theodore z. Shonts.
chairman of the Panama canal COM
mission, and one or two other persons,
will leave Washington Nov. 1 and will
go to the isthmus on one of the crack
warships. The vessel has not yet been
selected nor has the personnel of the
party fully been determined. Secretary
Loeb may accompany the president.
and some of the executive clerks and
a stenographer or two will be aboard
the ship to enable the president to
transact public business which requires
his attention. The vessel will be equip
ped with wireless telegraphic appara-
tus, and from the time the president
departs he will be in constant commu
nication with Washington.
If present plans are carried out the
president will start from the Washing
ton navy yard on board the yacht May
flower and will steam to Fortress Mon
roe, where he will be transferred to
the vessel which will take him to Co
lon. This vessel will be one of the best
in the navy, and one will be chosen
that is equipped with admiraPs quar-
tiers, which will be occupied by the
president. The meals for the entire
party will be served in the dining room
OF the admirars quarters. After the
vessel reaches Colon the presidential
party will retain its quarters on board
the ship and will visit the canal zone
from time TO time. The president VIII
be the guest of Governor Magoon at
his official residence on one or two oc-
casions.
Extreme precautions will be taken
to guard the president from yellow ie
yer. This disease practically has been
wiped out I'm the canal zone. according
to the latest official reports, and a case
has not made its appearance for some
time. Notwithstanding, the president
will not take any chances of being bit
ten by mosquitoes which spread yellow
fever. and his quarters will be equip
ped with mosquito netting, so as to
make 1t practically impossible for one
of these insects to nip him and sub
ject him to the danger Of cont acting
the disease
President Roosevelt desires to see
every phase of the work of construc-
ton. from the rebuilding of the Pana-
ma railroad. which is an important fac
tor in this great undertaking, to the
excavation of the soil with the modern
steam shoyefs and the disposition of
the material that will be taken from

Latest Of the eXpoSitions of the best
devices for safeguarding the lives and
limbs of workmen and preventing ac-
cidents under the ordinary conditions
of life and labor to which the public
is exposed is that planned by the
American Institute of Social Service,
to be held at the Museum of Natural
History in New York from Jan. % to
Feb. next year. Several others are
scheduled to take place at various
cities on the continent during the year,
says the New York Post. The Ameri-
can exposition is to consist of machines
of actual or reduced size in operation
or photographs, and in addition to this
there will be a section of industrial
hygiene, including exhibits of the sew
eral movements for improved housing
and the prevention of tuberculosis. As
far as possible this section will be
comparative in exhibiting the best IL
Illustrations of English and European
methods.
Although the proposed exposition will
be purely temporary, it is regarded as
preparatory to a permanent collection
of safety devices, because it is be-
lieved that the time has come for the
esta blishment of an American museum
of security similar to the ones found
all over Europe, especially in Germany.
With this end in view the institute has
been collecting photographs, special
lied reports, documents and publica-
lions. showing the entire range of in
dustrial betterment movements.
Among the honorary officers on the
board of management are Grover
Cleveland, Governor Higgins, Governor
Stone of New Jersey, c. p. Neill of the
department of labor, Governor Guild
of Massachusetts, Governor Roberts of
Connecticut. I. Z. Sherman, labor COM
missioner of New York, and II. c.
Natural History. A committee of wo-
men has been formed to aid the work
The west hall of the museum has been
loaned for the exposition, but it is
thought that the number of exhibits
will require more space.
Promises of exhibits and requests for
space have already been received from
many firms and corporations, and the
indications are that the space assured
will be taxed to the utmost to hold ev-
erything. There will be all manner of
exhibits, from derricks with automo-
bile stops which prevent the cranks
from revolvings to the injury of the
workmen, to fireproof starch and mod
els and pictures of sanitary houses. A
feature that will receive special atten-
ton will be ways to prevent intoxica-
ton, treated strictly from an economic
standpoint-that Is, on the basis of it's
injury to the community as destroying
the working ability of its victims, not
as to its deterrent effect on their moral
condition.
1t may be noted that a request has |
been received from the Institute of So |
cial Service of Denmark for loan OF |

SOCIETY FADS IN VOGUE.
Gold Handled Eye Shades Made FASH
iOnabIe by Queen of SPAIN

Gold Handled Eye Shades Made FASH
iOnabIe by Queen of Spain.
Queen Victoria OF Spain has made
fashionable an elegant device for pro-
tecting bright eyes from the sun and
warding off sun headaches, says a Lon
don cable dispatch to the New York
American and Journal. 1t is shade
for the eyes, beautifully wrought of
various materials mounted on a long
handle like the familiar lorgnette.
This dainty affair was found very
useful under the torrid Spanish sun by
the new queen, who took it with her
from London. Here the maisette, as it
is called, has become Indispensable to
the fashionable woman who goes to
race meetings and polo matches.
1t not only prevents headaches that
result from watching sports under
powerful sun, but also saves the wrin-
kleS that are formed around the eyes
in those circumstances.
The eye shade, which is the invention
of woman, Is made up in elegant
forms of costly materials. such as
mother-of-pearl, gold, silver repousse
and carved tortoise shell.
Automobile parasols are now welded
by the smartest women at garden par
ties and church parade" Why they
are so called is not quite clear, for they
are quite useless for motoring. The
automobile parasol is really revival
of the old Eugene ''sunshade." 1t is
tiny fllmy thing, set on a jointed fold
ing stick, which can be held at any an
gle. Taffeta and lace are used for the
cover, while the handle is often dain-
tily fashioned in mother-of-pearl or
ivory.
Another new fashion in parasols is
the miniature imitation of the giant
umbrella carried by italian peasants.
They are of red and blue cotton, with
gayly striped borders.
