Consideration Of this bill was IN
terrupted by the arrival In the cham
ber of United States Senator Payn-
ter. His presence was noted by
Louis Arnett. The senate invited
Senator Paynter and he addressed
the body briefly.
lie said he would not discuss poll

In being the first to sit In the new
Capitol. and said he was proud that
Kentuckians had erected II without
the slightest charge Of graft.
Senator Paynter spoke in favor OF

mended Elihu Root for urging II
upon the general assembly of New

was only for a more equitable assess
ment for purposes Of taxation.

the foundation shall be exempt from
taxes and the inconporators shall
have perpetual succession. 1t may
remind him of some of his religious
brethren, who have been damning
him with isolated proof texts taken
from the scriptures. Nor is 1t strange
that congressman are dilatory about
pressing the enactment Of the en-
abling act. Most of Mr.. Rockefel-
ller's legislative plans to promote
the well being and to advance civiliz-
alton of the people of the world /,
have not been imposed upon hard
working body OF representatives OF
those people, whose civilization MI
Rockefeller was bent upon promot-
ing; but there was always recon-
pense provided for those, who took
their time away from the routine
business of legislation to promote
"the acquisition and dissemination
of knowledge. Probably congress
men are. out of force of habit, wait
ing for Mr.. Rockefeller to submit TO
them samples OF the Rockefeller
foundation.
Mr.. Rockefeller's project Is being
subjected to all the acid tests for
jokers by press and publicists; but
we believe IL is on the level. We be-
lieve John ID. has an appreciation OF
his responsibility to the world, and
that he is turning the attention Of
his wonderful mind to the best use
of his wealth, and. like the good hus-
bandman that he is, he is not satisfy
ing his conscience by handing out
his wealth to promiscuous charity.
The proper use of all the Rookie
feller millions Is enough to occupy
the attention of the most capable in
tellect, assisted by a corps Of efficient
executives. 1t is just as great work
as developing the material resources
of the country, and when we read OF
the antics of the degenerate on
springs of the Astor, Vanderbilt,
Gould and Thaw families. we admire
more than ever the wisdom. which
induced John d. Rockefeller to plan
such an enterprise as this for his son
and heir.
The Rockefeller foundation Is a
step toward the inevitable. just as
Morgan's monopolistic operations
point to the same end: the concen-
tration of wealth and Its use for the
welfare Of all mankind. Such men
have an adherence OF lazy and in
competent people. and naturally they
direct their energies toward aiding
the enterprising to higher ideals and
the elimination of incompetence.
There is no joker in the Rocke-
Teller foundation. we are sure. That
the possessor of all those millions
should desire simply to secure i'm
munity from taxation Is ridiculous;
but when a man has more money
than he can spend, more money
than he can keep invested and an
income that accumulates faster than
he can accommodate, the folly Of mere
ACQUISITION and the certainty OF
waste must impress him. So thrifty
Old John ID. as a measure of practi'
cal economy proposes to find
wider outlet for the income and give
employment to Young John d. In
managing the principal. 1t Is not
surprising that he looks after the
protection of the fund with his
habitual caution. The report oi
spies and surveillance of individuals
in their social relations, is an emana-
tion from some fruitful fancy.
