Fortune Wrecked by Estate Taxes on Baker Wealth
A sprawling critique of the estate tax system centered on George Fisher Baker, once among the world’s richest men with an estate valued at 400 to 500 million dollars. After his death, the estate owed money to the government as the stock portfolio had shrunk, leaving heirs with only a few cents in value for every dollar of securities. The piece argues the unpredictable, chaotic nature of taxes and market swings destroys fortunes overnight and hurts common people, contrasting with Roosevelt’s policies and public sentiment.

Frederic A Taskin analyzes Mussolini rule under a constitutional facade in Italy. He notes the king’s executive prerogatives are checked by ministers and that the Council of State closely guides legislation. Parliament remains bicameral but dominated by the fascist Grand Council, with voters limited by qualifications and a complex party-driven process.
