Rockefeller Foundation SafeauaHded.
10 the Editor OF The Times:
The bill to incorporate the Rookie
teller foundation Oh. X. 21532l, unan-
imously reported by the judiciary
committee and debated on Monday OF
last week upon a motion TO suspend
the rules, will probably come up on
Monday next, Jan. 20, as unfinished
business requiring a fnal vote. In Its
present form the bill has been care
fully drawn TO embody the improve
ments suggested by the criticisms or
the original bill:
i. The element of perpetuity has
been removed, provision having been
made for the dissolution Of the cor
poration and the distribution OF Its
funds, either voluntarily or at the d.
rection Of congress.
2. The amount Of the endowment
has been limited and the income is TO
be spent-not added TO the principal.
3. The trustees are not TO be a
close corporation, the election OF new
members being subject to disapproval
OF certain specified representatives OF
the public interest.
4. Congress has complete power OF
d1uChuAhCul anu IcPCoAs ohu al bheo
must be accepted subject to this un-
Outstanding.
5. No exemption from state taxa
ton Is. or constitutionally could be.
conferred by the bill, and no exemp-
ton whatever is conferred with re-
spect to real estate.
6. A charter is sought through |
congress solely because the gift II TO
the people OF the United States. and |
is to be controlled by them rather |
than in the interest. however bene-
fcent, OF any one section.
trust you will recognize In these
features OF the present bill an ample
safeguard against any dangers that
have been attributed TO the original
plan and that by promoting the early
passage OF the bill you will enable the
incorporators to enter upon the i'm
portant work In the lines OF educa-
ton. public health and other wise
philanthropy TO which they are
pledged.
