There used to be a nuixim in this country to the effect, TIGERS WIN
. that it is just three generations from shirtsleeves to shirt-
, sleeves.'
In other words, it was taken for granted that a family,
as a unit, would not remain in possession of wealth very long.
One man would rise from poverty to riches, and his son might
keep things going; but the grandson, brought up to a life of
ease and luxury, would lie unable to handle tmsiness affaii-s
nnd would cither waste or lose the estate and return to -the
jKiverty of his ancestor. " f
For a number of years that nuixim was more or less
grounded on fact. For a long time it was the exception, nnd
not the rule, when the son of a rich man went on to fill his
father's place capably. Most of our lenders in business nnd
industry had come tip through the ranks.
Probably it was for this reason that Americans never had
any great fear of Uie wealthy class. That .class was not fixed.
There was nothing hereditary ulxnit it. Anyone witli ability
: and luck could join it; those already in it weie not apt to
stay there very long. Tho old theory that men should be
born equal in this country was pretty well borne out by the
facts.
Hut there are signs that the old order is changing.
To begin with, idleness is not popular among the wealthy
any more. 1 The sons of rich men are going to work, Jim
Hill's grandsons are working their way up from the lxrttom
in the railroad business. Col. Kobert W. Stewart's sons are
doing the same thing in the oil business. Everywhere, rich
men are impressing on their sons that despite their money
they must school themselves to take their place in the work
aday world.
This, of course, is an excellent thing. Hut it may end the
oltl shirtsleeves-to-shirtslcevea business. It may make wealth
seli-perietuating. In a few more generations we may have
a "ruling class." composed of thts descendants of those who
founded great fortunes, traind from youth to keep and add i
to what they have.
To be sure, opportunity undoubtedly will always be open
to the table. lint we might as well admit that we are pass
ing the pioneer stage. Our society is beginning to stratify.
