WEALTH CONCENTRATION EVIL.
Operation Of Injurious Trusts Can Be
curtalied by Efforts Of the
Masses.

An evil that at present is receiving
more than ordinary attention In tho
press Ii the concentration Of vast
amounts Of money In the hands OF
corporations. The accumulation Of
wealth by individuals when controlled
by natural law. will inevitably become
divided. The millionaire who has o
family. at his death will apportion to
each member a share OF his wealth.
Even though these divisions may be
increased by work and by speculation
and investment by the children. they
In return will divide the accumula.
tons among their offspring and even
tually. II matters not how great tho
may become. II IL only a matter OF
time until there is a scattering Of tho
money. and great portion Of It will
pass from the members of the family.
On the other hand. corporation meth.

that prevents the operation Of the
natural law. In other words corpora.
