3'resldent of Cornell Discusses Rem
edies for Inequality of AVeuIlIi
and Resultant Evils.
OMAHA. Dec. 16. At the National Corn
Kxpoeition here today. Dr. Jacob Schnr
man, of Cornell University, gave an ad
dress on "The Problem of Great For
tunes." The immense concert hall of the
exposition building was crowded to over
flowing. After statine that the increasing ine
quality of economic conditions was fos
tcrinjt socialism to a greater degree than
is shown in the Socilaist party vote,
he rejected that theory as a remedy.
:Neverthelc!w the growing inequality
would reach a point where there was
no alternative but revolution. He de
clared that the first requisite was en
lightenment of public opinion, for more
could be done by the wise action of
individuals than by all the efforts of
government.
Make Employes Partners.
Saying ttiat wage-earners must be
given a stake in the community, he cited
as an example the selling of its stock
by the United States Steel Corporation
to its employes, of whom nearly 100,000
are now shareholders and their dividends
are- guaranteed. Of this system he said:
"It seems capable of application to all
the large and strong corporations of the
country. And if they adopt it, hundreds
of thousands of workmen would be bene
fited, and some other device might be
found for the encouragement of their
comrades in weaker and less profitable
establishments."
Use Wealth in Public Interest.
The farmers, he said, were solving the
problem by moving to tile new land of
the Canadian Northwest.- Colossal for
tunes were on trial and whether and
how far it was worth while to encourage
and protect them was a question for the
future. The voters who would answer
that question would be influenced by the
manner in which the owners of these
fortunes used them. In life and disposed
of them at death. The true test was
the way in which, a man spent his
wealth. He cited the public benefac
tions of many rich men as evidence that
they regarded their fortunes as a trust
to be administered for the benefit of
humanity. He continued:
I believe that the conduct of a few multi
millionaires now living- is likly to determine
the attitude and shape the policy of the
public towards the phenomenon of colossal
fortunes for many years to come. If ttiey
use them in the interest of the public, the
public will not begrudge them their suc
cess. If they use them for the aggrandize
ment of family or. the consolidation of
private Interests, we are likely to see at
tacks on the existing laws of bequest. Nor
will these attacks ta met by the statement
true though it la that these fortunes are
engaged in productive enterprises, and are,
therefore, benenclal to the public.
May Impose Inheritance Tax.
Dr. Schurman 'went on to point out
that, if multi-millionaires themselves
failed to recognize their obligation to
share their fortunes with the community,
which they have accumulated with the
eo-operation of the community, then it
Is in the power of the Government to
enforce this obligation by a system of
taxation on the transfer and Inheritance
of decedent's estates. He expressed the
opinion that there was no "juster tax.
no tax whose incidence is more lightly
felt." He suggested that in connection
with this National Corn Exposition, the
Governor of Nebraska call a conference
of Governors or other representatiws.
He went on to advocate wise legislation
on the subject. He declared that a large
corporation was merely a mode of organ
izing modern business, had supplanted
competition and should not be prohibited
but controlled In the public interest. He
commended the Public Utility Commis
sion of New York as a means to this
end and as an advantage both to the
public and the corporations.-
