A good many people have at times
thought that tho discussion Of "pred.
atory wealth" was merely a phase of
socialistic thought, expressed by peo.
pie who didn't know what was the
mater with them. Others, very sin
eere in their stand, believe that II
was q form Of anarchy to question the
holding Of wealth, since IL was posi-.
BILE to amass millions under the Law
and without violating the law, at least
in such u way as to get caught at II.
That is a reversion TO the old idea
that the chief harm in u certain crime
was 10 get nsbbed AZ (which hasn Z
entirely disappeared from the world
yet. Still others looked upon Il as n
proof that II was time for a general
whack.out, overlooking the fact that II
there were that Il would only be 4
few years until about the same bunch
had II all again. All now agree that
the amusement Of vas, fortunes Is u
subject for the most serious study.
II Is becoming more aud more appar.
ent that no man can honestly amass
more than q million dollars. There
have been cases In which shrewd
speculation forms Of value have con.
tributed TO the amusement of the mil.
lion, but II is undisputed that prac.
tically all Of those that go beyond that
figure have their sources either in gam.
bling, or by taking advantage Of the
nocesssries Of the people, in the way
Of special privileges Of some sort or
other. Great and general ne has been
the discussion, a practical remedy has
not yet be suggested, and II seems
to me that it can only come through
the average Of system Of taxation
that will make the retention of vast
fortunes distinctly unpopular. This

erences which | have made to the sin
