NEW YORK, April 15.—In a letter to the World on “Socialism,” to be printed tomorrow, Henry Clews says: “Socialism. in America is an indefinite term, and its meaning varies according to the industry, wealth and education of the man defining it.

(i SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE‘CAL" WASHINGTON, April 15—It is ‘the opinion of a majority of the Senators and Representatives that President Roosevelt's advo- cacy of an inheritance tax in his speech was an attempt to sound the key note for the 1go8 cam- paign. It is also the opinion of many Senators and Representa- tives that the President went too far.

They are angry and point to the Presi- dent’s proposition as another evidence of his unstability. They say he is frightened at what he thinks is the trend in the country toward Socialism. Doubt as to Meaning. A number of Senators and Representatives favor both an in- come and an inheritance tax. They agree with the President on these two propositions, althqugh the President’s language had ref- erence ‘only to a tax on_inheri- tances. All are at a loss'to un- derstand what the. President meant by his words, “A tax so framed as to put out of power of the owner of one lof these enor- mous fortunes to hand on more than a certain amount to any one individual.” - : This is construed to be “ad- vanced Socialism.” Legislators are puzzled to know whether the President’s idea is to confiscate all in excess of a certain sum be- queathed by a multimillionaire and leave-the rest to the Govern- ment or to provide some other method of disposing of the sur- plus after a certain sum has been left by the will to each individual. Views of Lawyers. The unanimous expression of sentiment is that Congress would have no authority to prescribe what a man shall do with his money after he -has acquired it. This is the opinfon of all the lawyers—such an enactment would be unconstitutional. It is this feature of the Presi- dent’s speech that has attracted the most attention and discus- sion. ~ The natural inference is that he believes in confiscation of all beyond the fixed sum devised by the millionaire. The late President Hayes de- livered a speech in Cleveland in 1880, in which he advocated limit- ing by law the agcumulation of fortunes. He fixed $3,000,000 as the maximum which any one per-} son should be permitted to accu- mulate.
