Letter from Alfred L. Hutchinson to Theodore Roosevelt
Alfred L. Hutchinson sends Theodore Roosevelt a second copy of his book, The Limit of Wealth, to showcase the many things he said in his book that are now happening. Hutchinson handed a book to William H. Taft, and after becoming president, Taft enacted the corporation tax, which is something Hutchinson advocated for. Now Roosevelt is writing about the inheritance tax law, which is a step toward Hutchinson’s suggestion that there should be no limits on wealth, but that wealth should be redistributed after death.
