ARGUE AGAINST
Wilson's PLAN
Keating Would Place Tax on
Rich to Provide for
Defense.
POOR GIVING ENOUGH
Tells Rational Defense League Sum
Sought by Jinsoes Would Provide
Farms for 100000 First Year.

President Wilson's national defense
program was denounced by Representa-
tiyes Edward Keating, of Colorado: W.
w BAILEY. of Pennsylvania, and Isaac
r. Sherwood of Ohio. before the Ra-
tional Defense League at the Chamber
of Commerce last night. Among those
present were Representative Hilliard' OF
Colorado; Assistant Secretary OF LABOR
Louis F. Post, and Mrs. Winston
Churchill
Il will vote for President Wilson s
proposal il the cost is placed on the
wealth of the country" said Representa-
tive Heating Il will not vote for the
proposal If it isn't placed there.
Il feel that poor men are contriout-
ing their share to the cost OF govern
ment. Since these men are the ones VINO
would have to march to the front, l
would place the burden of preparedness
on the fortunes of the country.
Representative Keating advocated the
establishment of a national defense iunu
in the Treasury. to be maintained
largely by placing a tax on the million
aires of the country. The sl50oeo.co now
being spent annually on the army and
navy would be the only other source OF
contribution to this fund.-
Would Test Patriotism.
Representative Keating said he ad-
vocated such a tax to test the patriot
ism of the men who have been or
sanixing national defense leagues
throughout the country.
IF you would take the sum tne
jingoes want to spend in one year you
could reclaim 2O,000.000 acres of Land
in the West and provide homes for
one-half million happy families there.

wear YOU could gridiron this country

costly roads conceivable"
The platform of the league, as OUT
lined by Mrs. Jessie Hardy Mackaye'
who presided, is: A congressional in
vestigation of the possibilities OF ag-
gressive war by other nations against
the United States: the conservation
of coal, oil, timber water power and
other national resources for purpose
