New York, July 16.-"A heavily
graded progressive inheritance tax" is
urged by Theodore Roosevelt in an
article in The Outlook, entitled "Give
Me Neither Poverty Nor Riches"
He would have the tax fall heav-
lest on absentees."
1T is to be wished that some OF
those who preach and practice a gos-
pei of mere materialism and greed,
and who speak as If the heaping up
of wealth by the community or by
the individual was in itself the be-
all and end-all life, would learn from
the most widely read and Oldest of
books that true wisdom which teaches
that II Is wei to have neither great
poverty nor great riches" says Mr..
Roosevelt.
"The movement which has become
so strong during the last few years
to secure on behalf of the nation both
an adequate supervisor Of and an eff
fectlve taxation of vast fortunes, so
far as their business use is con-
cerned, is a healthy movement. 1t
aims to replace sullen discomfort,
restless pessimism, and evil prepara-

healthy determination TO get to the
bottom OF our troubles and remedy
them.
"The multi-m Millionaire is not per
Sc healthy development in this
country. If his fortune is on basis
of wrongdoing. he is far more dan
gerous criminal than any of the or
dinary types of criminals can possi-
bly, be. If his fortune is the result of
great service rendered, well and good !;
he deserves respect and reward for
such service, although we must re-
member to pay our homage to the
service itself. and not to the fortune
which is the mere reward of the serv-
vice; but when his fortune is passed
on to some one else, who has not
rendered the service. then the nation
should impose a heavily graded pro-
gressive inheritance tax, singularly
wise and unobjectionable kind OF tax.
1t would be a particularly good thing
IL the tax be heaviest on abb
sentees."

It is far better that the wife should

who go shabby rather than ask their

Sometimes man awakes to the
fact that his wife is shabblly dressed,

of money with an air of comforting
the greatest boon upon her. And she

CAN SHE PICK HER

The other day number Of women
were discussing the time-worn ques-

money out of her husbands pocket?"

silent and me1i.ated thankfully upon

With one exception, the matrons
concluded that they had no right, how
ever great the temptation, to rifle the
pockets Of their lords and masters.
This Woman Says "Yes."
The exception was a spirited little
matron, who stoutly maintained that
II the husband was not generous in
money matters lis wife had the right
to help herself.
ANY woman she argued, "who is
a good wife and capable housekeeper,

The average clubman spends far
more on himself than he Is wiling to

Moreover, while the wife always has
to show for the money she
spends, the husband has nothing to
show for that spent on smoking and
drinking, save an impaired constitu-
