Joseph Medill Patterson, Chicago public works commissioner, contends that the real anarchists are among the rich. He argues wealth does not exempt anyone from obeying the law and cites cases where wealthy individuals ignore court orders. Patterson warns that such arrogance by the affluent mirrors anarchy and calls for holding the rich to the same legal standard as the poor.
