A JUSTIFICATION OF
INDIVIDUAL WEALTH
That any mau should have the
right to distribute fifty million dol
lars absolutely according to his will,
has become today a curious question
says the St. Paul I Pioneer Press;
there is plain indication on the part
of the public that this cannot hap
pen much longer. And yet, when a
man does so distribute such an
amount that In truth belongs more
to the public than could happen if
the public itself had set aside the
amount, there is perhaps justifica
tion in the possession; certainly
such distribution must give paOse to
the current criticism on possession.
When Benjamin Altman died in
| New York it was recognized that an
important merchant prince had pass
ed from power. It was not known
that his wealth would mount so hig"
and certainly it was not known that
its distribution was planned with a
wisdom and beneficence which no
millionaire has equaled. Mr. Alt
man gave his fifteen million dollar
art collection to the Metropolitan
museum, and lest the museum
could not house It, he provided for
a special gallery if that should be
necessary. The art collection be
| comes the people's treasure, and not
fifteen millions of treasure, but
[ priceless possession, since Mr. Alt
man ^ad garnered the world with a
taste and judgement that matched
his money power. Among his rela
tives ne .distributed a million. He
provided annual Drizes of $1,000 an
$500 for the best paintings by Amei
icau born artists, and he made gifts
to schools and hospitals. After this,
he provided for his emplayes in
that large business he had built in
New York city. Certain sums were
paid direct to those who had been
in his employ for more than fifteen
years. And the remainder, about
thirty million dollars, Is created as
a foundation, the Income to be used
in establishing a profit-sharing sys
tem for the employes. 1
This man lived his life somewhat
apart. His name had not the asso
ciation of Morgan, who left his
treasures and his money to his des
cendants; of Carnegie, who enjoys
taking the public into his confidence
concerning the difficulties he has in
distributing his wealth, and then
does not succeed In much reduction;
of Rockefeller, who is suspect be
cause of his enormous wealth; and
who. would have difficulty should he
return all his millions whence they
came. In whitewashing a not always
justly darkened reputation; of Sage,
who left his money to philanthropy
for a season, but with a recall
clause. The Altman way must ap
pear, even to the socialist, as al
most justification of individual
wealth.

THE BULKLEY STEELED.
Throughout practically the whole
ltngth ot the Bulkley valley a dis
tance ot 130 miles, the Graud Trunk |
Pacific has laid its rails, track
building gangs being almost to Deck
er lake. The tnd of steel is being
carried eastward much faster these
days, and earlier predictions of the
completion of the thorough line are
now being made. Next summer, in
stead of the autumn, is now the
time generally set on joining the tw
ends of steel One of the busiest
towns in Noifbern British Colum
bia today is Smithers. Many build
ings, the first permanent structures,
are rising whil-j contractors are busy
gradiug streets and laying sidewalks
When it is considered that freight
service has not yet been opened to
that point, and that general build
ing supplies cannot be got in from
the coast, the progress being made
in buildiug the new town is remark
able.—Prince Rupert Empire.
