SIN Yat-Sen's Will

THE will of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, first
president of the Chinese repub-
lie, has found its way TO this country. At
least its contents have.
We recommend it to each and every
American engaged in public service. Its
reading is eminently worth while.
Sun, having devoted his life to trying
to raise the standard of living among the
Chinese, promoting the welfare of the un-
derpaid and underfed coolie, and attempt
ing to get his country out from under the
thumb of unscrupulously foreign exploit
ers, naturally made many enemies
One of their favorite methods of attack
was to insinuate, or openly charge. that
he had made millions at the expense Of
his followers. Thus, by innuendo and
otherwise, they tried to undermine his in
fluence by making him out crook.
Was he? Well, here's his will. Judge
for yourself:
II have devoted my time to national af-
fairs" it reads, so have no property.
What | have left consists of books,
clothes and my house, all of which go to
my wife as remembrance.
my son and daughters are already
grown up and able to live by their own
means. | hope they viii follow in my
footsteps"
That is all. But few husbands and
fathers ever left a richer heritage than
did this Chinese gentleman.
Not all of our statesmen win, or could,
leave the like, mores the pity.

TareS

A LII states will do well to follow the
n example of Florida in abolishing in
heritance taxes.
Rich persons are now making extensive
studies of state taxes and establishing le-
gal residences accordingly.
This means that states with large in
heritance rates will not be collecting much,
for their best prospects" will have estab-
hShed legal residences where taxes are lit
tie or nothing.
And these states will lose the prosper
ity that wealthy residents induce by their
large spendings and gifts.
Inheritance taxation should be collected
only by the federal government.
