There were two currents OF opinion
here. One Is that the directing minds

In opposing discussion OF the amend.

TILE EXPROPRIATORS

An advocate of the Plumb Plan for
government purchase of the railroads
with control by the employees, asserts
that the wage system must end ana
that hereafter employees vii insist
upon having a share in the ownership
Of the property Well there is alb
solutely nothing to prevent any en-
ployee from becoming share holder
in thu railroad by which he is en-
ployed. Many a railroad manager be-
gan at the bottom and worked his
way to the top. The stock of every
railroad in the country is for sale in
the markets Of all the important cit
les in the country. and much of the
stock is selling at less than actual
value, due to temporary depression
resulting from inadequate earnings.
Any man who saves a part of his
wages is free to buy stocks OF that
kind. But that is not what the adj
vocates Of the Plumb Plan propose.
They want the government to buy the
property and virtually give it to them
to run in their own way. They want
farmers, merchants, miners. manu-
facturers, and all other wage earners,
to be taxed to raise funds to buy prop
erty to turn over to them And the
Democratic party has been coddling
the chief advocates Of the Plumb Plan.
