J.P.MORGAN FEARS CONFISCATORY TAX Declares Present Policy Will Wipe Out Private Fortunes in 30 Years. Bv the Associated Press NEW YORK, November 20.—In- ereasing taxes and governmental ex- penditures, in? the opinion of J. P. Morgan, the financier, threatened to wipe out the great private fortunes of this country within 30 years unless a | retrenchment policy is adopted “Why, even now, anybody who makes any money 'n the United States ;g Actually is work- ing eight months 5 of the vear for - the Government, and who is going to be able to or | will do that in- definitely>” he said last night on his return from England. Asked what he thought of Presi- ¢ dent Roosevelt's chances of re- election, Morgan said “It is not time to worry about that. Really, you know more about it than I do.” . P, Morgan. Frowns on “Bull Market.” Noting recent advances in the stock market, Morgan asserted he did not think “bull markets” make for pros- perity. “It didn't a few years ago—at least, it didn't for me, and it didn't for a ot of people.” Morgan, more talkative than usual on shipboard. laughed when asked if he thought there was a war scare in Europe. He paused and replied, “No. 1 don't think so.” England. he said, is doing a fine job in avoiding war. Recent elections there. he added, were satisfactory. In England business is prospering the financier said. “because the gov- ernment lets it alone and does not double up the taxes on it.” Says Initiative in Peril. The upward trend of taxes in the United States. he asserted, cannot continue without destroying initiative | as well as old and new enterprises. leaving insurance companies and sav- ings banks as the only holders of sav- ings within 30 vears. 1l private fortunes. colleges, many &chools and all libraries would disap- pear. he said Asked whether he believed there would be a return to private banking and investment brckerage jointly by one firm, now banne: by the Govern- ment, Morgan said “It may be very possible at some fu- ture date. for everything is a possi- bility except that the United States or anybody else can go on spending twice as much as is earned for an indefinite period.” MRS.

Roberts proposed that dealers be permitted to sell small orders of coal or coke only in sizes of 15, 25, or 50 pounds, avoirdupois weight, and would require that the packages bear con- spicuous signs showing the true net —A.
