Talks.
SWOLLEN FORTUNES.
By EDWIN a. NYB.

SWOLLEN FORTUNES.
The Grass extravaganza Of gilded
New York in all Of its sordidness is
revealed by the testimony in the Gould
divorce case.
For instance
Mrs. Gould admitted having spent
1924, 900 in a single year upon herself
She told the court she could not pos
sibly buy her gowns for less than
$4,000 per year.
Which somewhat gilds the lily OF ex-
travagance.
George Gould testified his father left
an estate Of SsO.OOO,O00; that the in
come from this estate for each OF the
Jay Gould heirs was $4,000 a week,
S7SO.O00 a year or nearly $5,000,O0o
yearly for the six children.
A sum sufficient to keep tho wolf a
good way from the door.
Now
Aside from the showing OF wasteful-
ness and stopper pulling dissipation
and social dirt, one Of the lessons from
this divorce suit, which has drawn its
slow, salacious length through the
courts, is this one:
We need In this country an inner
itance and an income tax law.
Under n reasonable inheritance tax
law the huge estate OF Jay Gould
would have yielded to the federal gov
ernment not less than S10,OOO,OO0. In
some European states so large a for
tune would have been taxed $20,-
100000. or % per cent.
And the Gould estate is but one Of
several large American family for
tunes.
Also. on the basis Of per cent in
come tax, a reasonably low levy, the
government would receive from the
S5.OOO,OOO incomes an annual tax re
turn Of $250,0O0.
Would such taxes work a hardship
Evidently no. Mr.. Gould's testi
mony is that, despite the large SUM
spent on the Gould castle" and al
ultra extravagant wife, he was unabl,
to spend all his income. He says hl
saved from this income since hi
fathers death the tidy sum Of $40,
100000.
Castellane spent Annals share or a
much as he could get his hands on. an'
Helen gives away much Of hers il
charity.
A reasonable tax would be only
drop in the bucket TO these people.
Mrs. Gould airily told the court tina
her suit Of Hotel Belmont room
cost $500 a week. her automobiles $50
a month and her servants $4,000, "th'
least a lady can get through on"
Moral.-There is one way to stop thu
I growth Of swollen fortunes TO pu
bride on prodigality and to equalizl
the burdens Of taxation. and that wa,
is to-
Tax large inheritances and large in
comes.

PASTOR DEFIES
HIS CONGREGATION
Scores Members for Paying
Him Only $2 Per Week
as Sdary

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-THE Rev.
j. Spencer Smith. pastor OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church at Westchester.
Ohio. preached a much -heralded sermon
az the Westcherter Church before an
attendance that packed the little edl-
fee.
Last Sunday the Rev. Or. Smith. In
his sermon, arraigned his Westchester
congregation for neglecting 10 pay his
sufficient saalry for a decent living for
himself and family He said the sum
total OF salary paid him for some time
past had not averaged 81 a week.
Rev. Mr. Smith took for his topic
why the Westchester Church rs Fail
ing"
There was 3 slight hitch in the pro-
lceedings when the regular organist, Miss
Matte Phillips. daughter of Elder r.
M. Phillips, refused 10 play Another
musician was quickly secured and the
usual opening hymns and prayer fol-
lowed.
The pastor said one OF tho great
reasons FOR the lack OF spiritual and
other growth OF the church was negli-
gence and lack Of system in banding
the finances.
He spoke of a recent ice cream festi-
val which had been undertaken as a
benefit OF the church, but which turned
out to bo a fnanical loss. He alluded
also to the unseemly actions of several
persons in the congregation In recently
entering his residence In his absence
and taking some Chinese lanterns from
il to use in decorating for lawn feto
= He said that one Of the elders of IN,
. congregation had. since last Sundays
} sermon. called him Rev. Mr.. Smith &,
his face. a pup" This insult was al
the more keeniy felt. he said, becaus'
. his. the speakers wife. was with hin
when the elder called him the name
, He said that the congregation nigh
, possibly close the doors of the churcl
! against me but they can't close M
mouth. He said 10 the large audiencl
present that II II had come through
curiosity or 10 be "tickled" It woull
have been better 20 stay away. He an
nounced sermon along similar line
for next Sunday night. There was M

EXCELLENT PAVING
ABOUT RAILROAD STATION

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Aug. 1t-persons admir-
ing the macadam roadway surrounding
the floral circle at the Pennsylvania rail-
road station in Dover, have expressed a
desire to have several Of Dover's unpaved
streets finished off with the same top
dressing. The general impression has been
that this fine driveway is OF cheap con-
struction. The facts, as learned to-day,
are that the Pennsylvania Company put
upon that one small circle twenty-four
cars Of broken and crushed stone, from
tho size Of a mans head TO the size Of
grains Of shot. and that Il is topped of
with nine carloads OF ballast screenings.
This, together with the work done on the
driveway by head florist Lloyd, makes It
one Of the most expensive Jobs in street
construction done here.

Dover courts and caused considerable
comment upon the manner in which lie
handled his defense. He has becu
