Huge Fortunes
Massed by Few
In Last 50 Years
by HENRY H. KXIEN
(In plain talk)
Industrial America is ruled by
dynasties, and these dynastic rulers
rule the government in and of the
United States.
To these industrial dynasties vast
private fortunes have been aecurhu- j
luted in the past 50 years—fortunes
that far transcend those in any
other nation that eve, existed.
The Rockefeller fortune, accumu
lated during tne past 50 years, is
estimated at between three and five
thousand million dollars.
The Mellon fortune, accumulated
in about the same period of time, is
estimated to exceed one thousand
million dollars. -
The Dupont fortune is also esti
mated to exceed one thousand mil
lion dollars.
The Morgan fortune, accumulated
in the past half century, is estimated
to exceed seven hundred million
dollars.
The Ford fortune, accumulated in
about the same period of time is es
timated to exceed seven hundred mil
lion dollars..
The Baker (Geoge F.) fortune, ac
cumulated along with the Morgan
wealth, is estimated to exceed five
hundred million * dollars. Though
Mr. Baker left* only $75,000,000 when
he died several years ago, he gave
his son several hundred millions
during the 15 years proceeding his
death.
Many Others Cited
There aie many other fortunes
created through industrial dynasties
in the last 50' years, that exceed one
hundred million dollars, in suite of
the economic depression that has
prevailed since 1920. The fortunes
of the Guggerheims, Paynes, Hark
nesses. Phepls-Dodge, Ryans, Whit
neys. Vanderbilts, Harrimans, Hills,
Whjeners, Bradys," A store, and many
others, run between $100,000,000 and
S500.000.000.
There are many other lesser dyn
astic rulers whose fortunes hover
around the hundred million mark,
and many whose wealth exceeds fifty
million dollars each.

WHEAT IN ARTIC CIRCLE NOW
Winter wheat is now being grown
within the Artie circle in the Yaku
tia region of Northeastern Siberia.
Ten years ago this vast plainsa rea
was populated, by soldiers,, hunters
and fishermen. Experiments by the
Russian government showed the
spring wheat would do well there
and the acreage has been increased
every since until last spring when
188.0C0 acres were planted. -Latn'r;'
lests with winter wheat, werfe suc
cessful and were responsible ’ for
20,000 acres being ilanted last fall,
the first winter wht-at e^er grown
this far north. While th. summer
season is short, the weather is very
warm and nearly 22 hours of every
24 being daylight it means quick
growth. Potatoes are also being
grown successfully in a pact- of this
region known as the Kolima-. river
valley.
BILLION DOLLAR ASSETS.
Twenty-four private corporations
in America each have assets worth
more than $1,000,000,000. The total
for the 24 is $43,000,000,000 or half
again as much as the entire national
debt of $27,000,000,000. At the be
ginning of 1933,, there'were 25 corp
orations in the hillion-dollar " class
but one of these, the Socony-Vacuum
Oil company, dropped • below that
figure last year. Richest Of all is
the American Telephone and Tele
graph company whose assets total
nearly $5,000,000,000. Of the 24,
only eight showed gains in assets
during 1933. These were the Pru
dental Life Insurance company, New
York Life Insurance company,
Standard Oil Company of New Jer
sey, New York Central Railroad,
