BOMBAY HAS BRILLIANT

Interesting Scenes When the

BOMBAY, June 20. 1872.
Bombay. highly modern city of tele-

This stir of religious inspiration was
the result of the visit to the city Of the

Control of Foundation
Arranged by Oil King.

~>AAeo' q e
during the visible future the same care
full philanthropic investment OF his
wealth after his death that has character
lied his gifts in life; to have a charter
broad enough that the funds may be
used in accordance with the wisdom and
needs OF the future and not hampered
by restrictions imposed before those needs
were realized; to make this gift directly
TO the whole American people. and for
ever subject to the control of their elect
ed representatives.
The reasons of Mr.. Rockefeller's objec-
ton TO a state charter or a District OF Co
umbia charter lie in the fact that he
wishes the objects of the corporation de-
fined and controlled in accordance with
the best contemporary wisdom from gen
GRAFTON to generation, as long as the foun-
dalton endures. He wishes the control
tnus exercised to represent the public
opinion OF the entire country rather than
that of any state or section. feeling that
otherwise the philanthropc interests of a
single state might be given precedence
over those OF the entire country.
IL is pointed out that more than thirty
organizations have received federal
charter in the past quarter of century.
Six Of these have had purposes some
what similar TO those Of the Rockefeller
Foundation. II lis also shown that the
Carnegie Institution of Washington first
tried 10 get along with District of Co
lumbia charter. but found this wholly in
adequate to its needs and had to ask for
a federal charter, which was granted.
One of the principal objections to DIS
trict charter Is that it requires that a
majority of the incorporators shall be
residents of the District of Columbia, a
provision wholly incompatible with proper
freedom To select the best men in the
United States
IL is stated that one OF tie main pur-
poses in all of the Rockefeller benefac-
tons has been TO stimulate rather than
TO replace self-help He has sought to
have his gifts serve as demonstration
work. showing the states and the people
how to do things. and helping them to get
started at doing those things themselves.
He has not sought to flood the south with
unearned money. but to demonstrate to
the southern farmer hoM TO get rid OF the
hookworm, how to grow better cotton
and more corn. IL Is along these lines,
he believes. that charity and philanthropy
should be exercised-planting the feet of
those he would help upon the highway of
success. teaching them how to travel it.
and then watching them reach the goal.

in half When we contemplate what
many progressive cities have done in this
direction. DR.. Wyman's estimate seems
conservative. Yet there are millions Of
people who do not yet believe the we'll
demonstrated fact that germs cause dis
eases If the Rockefeller Foundation
should direct its efforts toward showing
the masses the existence of typhoid and
tuberculosis germs, as the Rockefeller
sanitary commission has shown the peo-
pie of the south the existence of the
hookworm. the good that could be ac-
com plished would be beyond estimate.
When the first bill for the incorporation
of the Rockefeller Foundation was intro
duced in the Senate. In the spring OF
1910. there was considerable opposition to
it. IL provided that the members of the
corporation could elect their own sue
cessors without limit of restriction, and
those who opposed the measure found
this strong ground for criticism. Again.
IL put no limit upon the fund that could
be piled up under the broad provisions Of
the bill. Likewise, there was no provision
that the foundation should be subject to
termination and its funds distributed at
some future time.
Mr.. Rockefeller took these criticisms in
a friendly spirit, and with his advisers
sought TO overcome them. They there
fore amended the proposed charter with
view to meeting all of these objections.
They inserted a clause which provides
tHdt tue ibUHOdIiON can 10 1tS WORK only

means; they limited the amount Of prop
erty to be held at any given time to a
hundred million dollars. and provided that
the income should be spent and not ac-
cumulated. they provided that after fifty
years. on the vote of two-t thirds the MEM
bers. the foundation should cease to
exist and all Of its funds be distributed.
and that this shall be done after 100
years if Congress orders The objec-
ton TO sef-perpetuating board was
removed by giving the power of veto on
all selections to four high government
officials and four great university presi-
dents. In order to overcome any doubts
