Their plan was outlined to the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee today by Counsel Plumb. appear
ing in their behalf.
The brotherhoods plan provides
for:
Government ownership with guar
anteed interest return probably four
percent.
Creation of an operating corpora
tion without capital to be controlled
by 4 board of directors, one-third to
be named by labor, one-third by rail-
road officials and one-third by the
president of the United States.
Wage disputes to be adjusted by
committee organized on the same
basis. J
Profit sharing by employees out Of
the net revenue, one-half to go to
the government.
Is Rates to be lowered when the gov
ernment's share exceeds five percent
of the gross operating revenue.
Plumb opposed creation Of a de-
partment of transportation under a
cabinet officer as proposed by rail-
road executives.
That would be regulating the
people in the interest of capital, he
maintained, since it would be enforc-
ing governmental policy to secure
adequate return on capital invested
in railroad enterprises.
AS to the five year extension of
government control originally pro.
posed by McAdoo, Plumb protested
that this would mean that railroad
employees, forbidden to take part in
politics, would be deprived of their
civic rights for five years more.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Records
of the treasury department and the
appropriations committee OF the
house and senate today showed why
congress is about to enact the bfg-
gest tax bill In history-six billion
dollars revenue measure that Will
take an average of $50 this year and
$40 pext year from every individual
of the nations 1Go,000,000 popula-
ton. These records show that the
government will cost the people S1s.'
900 900, 900 this fiscal year and $40,
900 600 900 the 1920 fiscal year.
The tax bill now before congress
raises only one-third of the amount
required for the tax-spending year
ending June 80, 1919, and only forty
percent of the tax expenditures for
the tax-spending year ending June
80, 1920.
Where is the rest Of the money
coming from?

spending can be brought to the limits
of tax-paying, there will be bond
Issues not Only Ill 1919 but III AoNo'
For the 1919 tax spending year
congress appropriated more than
s36,O0O,O ,O0O, 900. But the ending of
the war caused cancellation of con-
tracts totalling more than $4,000 ,O00.-
600 and a bill in congress cancels
1.OO0, 0,oO0, 900 more. The ultimate
total of such cancellations will be
about $4,000, 100000 as the net cost
of the government this year.
OF this amount the pending tax
bill Is estimated to raise $6,070 ,OOO,-
600
Some congressman say 1t won't
raise more than $1,000, 100000, but IL
it raises the amount it's sponsors
hope for, it will leave approximately
s12 CG0, 100000 unprovided for.
This means two Liberty bond
issues this year, mfny members be

Next year the tax bill is estimated
to raise a little less than s4.200,000,

hardly raise $3,0o0,0OO, 900. But If II
comes up to expectations, that will
leave nearly $4,000. .000, 900 to be
raised by more bond issues.

BLOCKADE AS PLAN

PARIS, Feb 7.-rWhile It now
seems certain that compulsory arbi-
tration will not be written into the
constitution of the league Of nations,
the league will not lack means Of
enforcing its decision, The United
Press learned from an authoritative
source today.
Compulsory means that dis2utants
would be compelled not only to sub
NIT their differences to the league.
but would have to abide by its de-
cisions. AS the matter now stands,
the league will force submission OF
arbitrable questions and will pre-
vent recourse to arms until decision
is rendered What action would be
taken in case a disputant disregards
the mandate of arbitration, 1t is i'm
possible to learn at this time, but 1t
is believed the blockade, which
proved SO effective in the case OF
Germany, will constitute the leagues
| weapon. -s-ssse !,
The means Of handling refractory
nations, should they disregard the
award of the arbitrator board, also
remains a mystery. Among the theo-
ries advanced in this connection was
that the blockade, or at least a boy
colt, would be employed.
Following official announcement
that the special committee working
on the league constitution was a
third through its task. it became
known that instead of completing the
draft this week, as previously an
nounced, week or ten days would
be required to finish the work.
Next to the league of nations, the
most important committee sessions
now in progress are those Of the
reparation and newly organized
blockade commission. The economic
program for the entire world is in
vowed in these discussions. Not only
must it be determined what Germany
should pay in the way OF damages,
but what she is able to pay and how
she is to earn the money with which
to pay. The various powers first
file memorandas setting forth their
claims. The biggest problem, how
ever, centers on how Germany can
pay. This necessitates working out
an economic scheme. She must not
only make money in marks but In
the currency Of the associated pow,
ers. This means that her exports
must exceed her imports, the amount
of her credit being in proportion to
the excess OF her exports.
