Radical Changes
Are Advocated
Progressive Candidate for Governor
Would Abolish Tax on Many
Things Now Assessed
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

Trenton, N. j., July 2s.-That GER
tain members of the progressive party
have decided to advance far beyond
the position taken by the last party
platform is indicated here today by the
declaration of Edmund B. Osborne, a
progressive leader, who has just an
nounced his candidacy for governor of
New Jersey. He has framed platform
which includes the following:
"I propose to abolish all taxes on
personal property (including household
furniture, machinery, merchandise and
livestock) and all improvements on
land, such as buildings, and that part
of the value of farm land produced by
labor-clearing, ditching, fencing and
cultivation. This is no experiment; /;
the system is in successful operation in
Vancouver, Victoria and other cities
and towns of Canada. This will en-
courage owners of land to build and i'm
prove, and will put an end to the inc
qualities Of the present absurd taxing
system, which penalties honesty and
rewards tax lodging and evasion. The
attempt to locate personal property has
been tried for more than thousand
years, and has always failed. The tax.
alton of securities is double taxation.
"I favor applying the home rule
principle by giving each municipality
the right by referendum to own and
operate any public utility, such as gas,
electric light or trolley, and to adopt a
new charter"

UNITED Press Staff Corerspondent)
Washington, July 2S.-There is no
more necessity for Mexican interven-
tion than there was mouth ago. The
situation is serious but not critical.
1t is stated in official sources that
the president believes much of the
present agitation is due to newspaper
manipulations, and that certain news
papers and persons who have relatives
in Mexico are responsible for the in.
creased apprehension.
Tt can be stated in the most authOri.
tatively way that the president intends
to continue his Mexican investigations
in "big brotherly" fashion, which has
not yet considered "force of arms. ="
II is understood the president is! not
pessimistic as to the result.
Not Considering Dual Plan.
At the executive offices today a re.
port that the president is considering
dual plan for Intervention submitted
by Ambassador Wilson was called alb
surd. The ambassadors voluminOus
report on conditions in Mexico made
no recommendations
According to the administration, 'ir.
responsible talk" by persons in high
authority and the attributing by news
agency to the president views which he
does not entertain are the only things
now complicating the Mexican situa.
ton. There is no doubt that reports
of Mexican debates in congress have
aggravated certain factions in Mexico,
and have made America 8 problem more
difficult. In the opinion of the pres.
dent and his advisers, this is the only
thing which has changed the situation
in month.
Considers Mediation Closely.
The president has considered media
tion more closely than any other plan
to cope with the Mexican trouble, but
is still open minded on the matter, and
IL may be stated authoritatively that
he is still willing to be convinced that
recognition of the Huerta government
would be a good remedy. It is likely
this will be the first subject he discuss
es with Ambassador Wilson at theil
conference.
It is reported here that there is nj
verification for reports that Huerta i,
willing to withdraw from the presi
dencial race, if he is recognized as pro
visional president and permitted tt
retain his place until a successor quail
flies. The president, however, recog
nizes that conditions might change a
any moment in such way as to fore,
e Intervention, but he intends to avoid !
