JOHN d." SPLITS
WITH UNCLE SAM

The greater part OF John D. Rookie
ieller's income for 1920 will probably
go to the government through the op-
ration OF the Income and Sur taxes
according to the Hackensack, New
Jersey, Record. The Record roughly
estimates Rockefeller's gross income
Tor 1920 at $43.0OO,OOO
"No one outside the Treasury De.
partmcnt. however, need take any
great satisfaction in the situation" the
Record continues.
with all due regard for the use Mr..
Rockefeller makes OF his wealth, which
S, on the whole, beneficial, it must oc
admitted that it is far better for 10000
families to get $1,000 apiece, or for
10000 to get $4,000 apiece, than it is
:or one family to get it all. 1t would
be better socially.
Also. provided the practice OF stock
investment were spread around alonl
with the money, it would be far better
economically. The 10000 or 10000
families, by pooling their savings
could provide capital for big under
takings, just as Mr. Rockefeller does
only democratically, without any dan
gerous Capitalization OF power.
"The tendency is in that direction
now. The ownership Of big corpora
tons is diffuscd more widely among
the people. Many great fortunes are
piling up, but along with them is de-
seloping the system which will pull
them down, through progressive in
come and inheritance taxes. 1t is no.
likely, therefore, that the next genera
ton will have any Rockefellcrs."
The surcst way for America to de-
velop $1,000 incomes and to develop
capitalists among its citizens is through
saving and safe investment. That
way is open to all. The only steps
needed are to set aside certain sum
from each pay check and put it into
safe profitable, renumerative Govern
nent Savings Securities. These arc
on sale day in and day out. at all post
offices and most banks.
