WOULD PAY NATIONAL DEBT WITH CAPITAL. LEVY ON PROPERTY.
Plumb Tells LabOr-Farm Con- gress to Partition
 Liability

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Discharge o1
 the national debt by capital lew upon property may be necessary Glenn k. Plum, president of the Plum plan league for tripartite control o1
 railroads, said Tn an address here tonight. before the All-Americar Farm Labor Cooperative confer. ence.
 i. Our problem in meeting the na- tional debt," is to to adjust our af- 1alrs that the two per cent of the people owning 60 per cent of the wealth shall pay their percentage ot this indebtedness; the 33 per cent of the people owning 35 per cent of the wealth shall pay the percentage due from them, and that the 65 ner cent of the people who own five per cent of the wealth shall not he required to pay more than their pro- portlonate amount of this indebted ness.
 "lf we meet this indebtedness bv a tax on industry, we distribute the inability to each man in accordance with his purchasing power. When all is said and done, we may be com pelled to accept the solution already adopted in Germany, and now con sidered as inevitable in Great Brit ain-the discharge of the entire na- tlonal debt by placing a capital levy upon property.
 "l do not say that this is the method that must be adopted. But ln our interests we must study this question and determine upon the method which. we unitedly recom- mend for the solution of this prob lem"
 The farmer-labor conference looks to the establishment of a. cooper ative enterprise, MT. Plunb said. embracing every step from the prod uct'on of raw materials to collection, storage and distribu- ton to the ultimate consumer. It IS hoped to include four million men representing upwards of 2O,OOO,OOO lctlzens in the project.
 We are striving to escape from the duress imposed by a government of small group of dominant men," the speaker said, "to free ourselves from a monopoly and control of cred tito obtain for ourselves indepen- derce in. many fields of endeavor from which we are now barred"
 The present monopoly of cred !ts," he continued, "has projected us into crisis, economic, industrial, political, that convicts the adminis- tration and both political parties of absolute impotency,"
 Of an admitted national indebted ness of $30,000, 0,0OO,O0O," Mir. Plumb said:
 "If we meet this debt by tax on industry we distribute the liability Q each man in accordance with his purchasing power.
 "When1 all is said and done we may oe compelled to accept the solution already adopted in Germany and now inevitable in Great Brit lin-the discharge of the entire na- ional deby by placing a capital levy lpon property"
 MT. Plumb vigorously attacked tending legislation of sedition as the first time the law has under aken to declare that an injury to property or an act of hate againstI 'roperty constitutes sedition against he government"
 "The people have the inalienable, and indefensible right o change or alter their form of 'overnment whenever the happiness, eace and prosperity of the people equire it." he said. "That unalter- | ble right is now threatened. Itl 1uSt be preserved.

SEES GREAT MENACE
 IN LABOR PLAN OF ;
 POLITICAL CONTROL
P0indexter Declares Group of Leaders Seek to Form
 AutOcracy

Utica, N. Y, Feb. Exchanges that behind the announced plan of the American Federation of Labor to ob- tain the election of a congress and president favorable to it's policies existed in sinister movement of a small coterie of labor leaders, who have grown powerful by the contribu- tions they have levied on labor to set up government within a gov ernment," were made here tonight by United States Senator Miles Poin- dexter of Washington before the Uti ca republican club.
 Farmers and laboring men of America" he asserted" have in ev- cry crisis been hte great bulwark of our free institutions, and they will not follow the mistaken leader ship which will place the govern ment under the despotic control of government within the government This government within the gov ernment' is not ruled by labor, but is an autocracy of a few leaders who would not only impose their will up- on labor itself, but would extend it not only by the ballot, but by strikes and starvation of the entire people Ol JHe OHiLcu OIdCcS, It IS all Op- noxious as the s'invisable govern ment' against which the people pro- tested in 1912.
 "There is no question of the right of the Federation of Labor to secure control of congress and of the pres- idency by way of the ballot box, if it can do so in accordance with the it has just issued. It will be an evil for the United States and most of all for labor itself if any class in this nation, whether em- ployers or employees in industry. capital or labor, should succeed in any such program; but that is one of tAe perils which the nation must face as the price of free government.
 Flags Gompers.
 "Mr. Gompers curses congress-" he "but is not specific in his On the contrary the an- states that 'all of the essential legislation in labor's bill of grievances of 1906 was enacted This proclamation states that the free in- of the country are me naced' but the only specific refer ence is to the proposed anti-strike The right to throttle the transportation of the nation or which the lives of the people depend is not one of sour free institutions
 "The officials of the American Federation of Labor oppose not only the anti-strike legislation, but op- pose the establishment of a govern mcnt tribunal for the hearing and of industrial disputes. The disposition of Mr. Gompers that labor unions themselves to settle un- these questions must be left to the der the compulsion of tying upI and essential indus tries. This would seem to present clearly the issue of government byl due process of law or government byI coercion. To claim the right of, any, private organization to lay an em- bargo upon the peoples supply of food and other essentials of life is 70 cleim fhe right Of private and civil Nak kI ono clase n tko eommunity s the community it9Slf."

Obregon r. paraded the streets OF the
city for an hour, after which Juarez
became quiet and business proceeded

the military earlier In the day.
In the meantime the international
bridges were closed TO Americans and
those in Juarez were informed that
their passports must be vised by eff
cials of the new government before
they could be used In crossing the line.
Mexicans were permitted to cross to
Juarez, but We're informed that before
returning to the American side their
passports must be yised.
Soon after the revolt was declared
in effect, General Eseobar called on
