JOHN ID. OPPOSED no INCOME
TAX
Ex-Post Factor Laws He Saws.
Should Not Apply to Property
Rights.

New York. July 25.-While he i.
not quoted directly, the New York
World prints this morning what pur-
ports to be the substance Of John D.
Rockefeller's attitude on the pro.
posed income tax.
His convictions" says the World
he has expounded in substance as
follows:
when a man has accumulated
a sum OF money in legally, honest
way, the people no longer have any
right to share in the income result
ing from that accumulation. The man
has respected the law in accumulat-
ing the money. Ex-post factS Laws
should not apply to property rights.
Mans right to undivided ownership
OF his property in whatever form cam
not be denied him in any process
short of confiscztEon.
"Concerning the opposition to the
income tax WITH which Mr.. Rockefsf-
Ter is credited, IT is estimated that it
would mean a lGsE of between $780,
e0o to 100000 to- him on tn rough
estimate that his income is between
5,sv0.oO0 and x2O, coo, 900 annually
One per cent OF this would range
from $15O,OO0 to 5000, 600, while the
maximum would Bs reached on the 2
par cent basis"

body believes that President Taft
cares more for the interests of the

OF local and sectional industries?
The clothing manufacturers of the

OF combination Of worsted mills
and wool growers. The members Of
this combination constitute a COM

clear that the country ought to derive
certain benefits from free lumber.
