SECRETARY OF
 TREASURY NOW
 UNDER ATTACK
Governor Blaine, of Wiscon- sin, Claims Rich Taxpay-
 CTS Are Shown Favors.

WASHINGT TON, Dec. 2.-Discrim- ination in favor of the rich taxpayer and the profiteer is imputed to Sec retary of the Treasury Mellon by Gov. John G. Blaine, of Wisconsin, in his address before the national conference of Progressives here today

 Declaring that the secrecy of in come tax statements are responsible for many frauds perpetuated upon the government, Governor Blaine said publicity would largely cure the situation.
 Governor Blaine asked:
 "Is it true the government is pow erless to enforce the law against the rich or is it just lack of desire on the part of Secretary of the Treas ury Mellon to place taxes on equality before the law"
 Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, ad dressing the conference declared .unquestioning allegiance to tht party by which that obligation if placed above principal and country is the cause for much political evil in the nations life"
 Government by People.
 U. s. Senator George ". Norris of Nebraska, speaking on "bringine the government back to the people, advocated the abolition of the cleo toral college.
 Senator Norris said his forefath- ers,, writing the Constitution, ''were grooping in the dark, experimenting to some extent" had placed little power in the hands of the people The Nebraskan charged machine control of the national political con ventions and argued the people should be allowed to choose all nom- inees for President as we'll as other offices.
