Under incorporation great achievements are made possible through combining limited sums of thousands, thus equaling the capital of the individual millionaire, making possible gigantic undertakings that are productive of enormous revenue. The dollar of the man of moderate means is equally as powerful as the dollar of the money king. Both serve their purpose; both are entitled to their proportionate profits.
