sued yesterday from 'ho University
Of the Chicago Press.
In his discussion of wealth Mr. Pow
ers objects to the statement that
millionaires own almost tho entire
amount OF wealth listed by the cen
sus. He also makes the assertion
that the national wealth has not been
placed too high by the census reports,
but that the a7praisals may be too
small.
The national wealth OF the country
for 1908 is placed at between III and
120 billion dollars by Mr.. Powers on
the basis that the annual increment
is not less than $500 million dollars
or more than 3 billion dollars.
The aggregate of all the wealth
of the nation may be tested by the
statements found from time to time
in the daily papers and magazines
concerning the number Of our million
aires and their possessions he says.
III the statements referred To arc
trustworthy and the census has given
"A correct estimate OF wealth. then the
deductions usually made from such
statements are correct There Is &r
