WHAT BLOATED FORTUNES
FEAR.

On April "a, the Journal published
an editorial entitled: AN Inherit
ance Tax Example" This editorial
noted Senator LaFollettes desire for
so per cent Inheritance tax on all
estates above S15,0OO.O0O; and
pointed out that such tax on the
estate Of the late J. P. Morgan would
yield almost twice as much revenue
as is derived each year from the
tariff on wool and WOODEN goods.
That editorial brought to the Of
flee many letters of commentator,
for which the Journal here tenders
thanks. 1t has also brought letters
of vigorous protest which are even
more valuable The professors bear
unconscious witness to the fact that
those who are trying to build up a
money oligarchy in this country fear
an Inheritance tax more than every
thing else.
A heavy inheritance tax, properly
graduated, strikes at the very root
of bloated fortunes. Instead of tax
ing small part of the income from
such fortunes, the inheritance tax
carves out part of the principal
Such tax put in force thirty years
ago would have prevented most of
the bloated fortunes which plague
the country today; and such a tax,
put in force now, would perform an
equally valuable service for the next
generation.
An inheritance tax yields a large
revenue at little COST 1t is easy to
collect. 1t safeguards the public
from dangers of irresponsible
wealth. 1t encourages philanthropy
and dlffuses prosperity; for if the
great money maker knows his prop
erty will De divided by the state at
