EX-EIWPEBQR TO VISIT U. S. LAST OF MAXCHCS TO BE EDU CATED IX AMERICA. Chinese Editor Daring Stay in San Francisco Discusses Plans- for Future of Usuan Tung. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 12. (Spe cial.) Yates M. Wang, one of the edi tors of the oldest paper published in China, the Daily Shun Pao of Shane hai, who is at the St. Francis hotel on his way to Rio de Janeiro, gives some interesting sidelights about the boy ex-emperor of China, the last ol the Manchus, Hsuan Tung, and of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, one of the founders of the Chinese republic. "The boy ex-emperor," said Editor Wang, "is still living in the forbidden city of Pekin, where he is being taken care of and educated by the Chinese government. He is now about 15 years old. and there is already a discussion among the government au thorities as to when they shall send htm to the United States to receive a modern college education. The pre sumption is that within the next two years he will be sent to America t a preparatory school in order to qual ify him to enter Stanford university or Harvard." The visitor thinks very highly of the character of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. al though admitting that the latter has lest much of his influence during the last few years with the Chinese peo ple. He considers him a warm cham pion of the republic and believes that he is doing all he can to heal the troubles between North and South China. Mr. Wang, who was educated at George Washington university in this country, has come here to be a trav eling correspondent for his paper. T HIS BY Pi Farm-Labor Congress Hears Wealth Control Berated.

J BUILDING HOPES KILLED Congress Will Xot Receive Bill Pro viding Oregon Structures. OREGON CITY. Or.. Feb. 12. (Spe cial.) There is no chance for Oregon City to obtain a public building by act of the present session of congress, according to information that reached here today from Representative Haw Icy, who states that the committee on public buildings and grounds has decided that neither an omnibus bill nor any special bill would be reported at this session.

Co-operative banking to keep the money of the farmers and worklngmen within their own ranks, was one of the wants which most of the speakers voiced today before the American farmer- labor congress. Glenn E. Plumb, au thor of the Plumb plan for tri-partite control of railroads, discussed the "sinister concentration in the control of the country's business." Chains of co-operative stores with a highly systematized method of opera tion was advocated by Duncan Mc Donald, president of the Illinois Fed eration of Labor. Store System Described. These stores, he argued, could have the benetit of central buying and general supervision. There should be n. simple and uniform system of book keeping, and the whole fabric of busi ness should be made proof against dishonesty by the bonding of the store managers, he said. O. C. Trask said the maintenance of way employes and railroad shop workers have five factories turning out products for them at less than wholesale prices. Co-'operative buying gave members of this union a 30 to 40 per cent reduction on other prod ucts, he said. We turn out good socks for 25 cents a pair in our hosiery factory, he said. "Gloves, underwear and clothes are among: the products." Our problem in meeting the ad mitted national indebtedness of 130,- 000,000.000." said Mr. Plumb in his address tonight, "is U so adjust our affairs that the 2 per cent of the peo pie owning 60 per cent of the wealth shall pay their percentage of this in debtedness, the 33 per cent of the peo ple owning 35 per cent of the wealth shall pay the percentage due from them, and that the 65 per cent of the people who own S per cent of the wealth shall not be. required to pay more than their proportionate amount of this indebtedness. If we meet this indebtedness by a tax on industry we distribute the liability to each man in accordance with his purchasing power. When all is said and done we may be compelled to accept the solution already adopted in Germany, and now considered as inevitable in Great Britain the dis charge of the entire national debt by placing a capital levy upon property. - Situation Requires Study. "I do not say that " this is the method that must be adopted. But in 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 co-operative enterprise, Mr. Plumb said, embracing every step from the production of raw materials to collection, manu facture, storage and distribution to the ultimate consumer. It is hoped to Include 4,000,000 men, represent ing upwards. of 20,000,000 citizens, in the project. "We are striving to escape from the duress imposed by a government of a small group of dominant men, the speaker said, "to free ourselves from a monopoly and control of credit to obtain for ourselves independence In many fields ot endeavor from which we are now barred. The present monopoly of credits, he continued, has projected us into a crisis, economic, industrial, political, that convicts the administration and both political parties of absolute impotency. ... Nevr Ruling Culled "Abuse. The recent treasury department ruling that federal reserve banks might carry liberty bonds as assets at the price- paid when purchased was an "abuse" of national credit, Mr. Plumb said, as many capitalists sub scribed for bonds at par but had never paid for them. Such holders have deposited the bonds with their notes for rediscount and federal re serve notes have been issued against these credits, he said. s Depreciated value of Liberty bond issues caused member banks great distress he said, and "to favor these small groups" the treasury order was promulgated at the same time per mitting them "to compel lesa favored customers to put up further margins to protect depreciated values." Mr. Plumb expressed the belief that the action of the treasury was unconsti- Tanlac did so much for my hus band that I began taking it, and now I am happy to say that it has com pletely restored me to health alscC' was the statement made recently by Mrs. Florence M. Gates of 639 East Avenue 60. Los Angeles. "My health has been extremely poor for nearly a year," she said, "and I felt so tired and worn-out all the time that I went about expecting to 1 give out just any day. My muscles ( ached and I had a constant pain in my back. I had such a poor appetite : that often I would go to the table and get up and leave without eating j no more than two or three bites. 1 1 lost weight, my complexion turned yellow, and I became so weak that my housework was a burden. Be sides these troubles I was going through that period that taxes a wo man's strength almost beyond en durance. "As I said, my husband had taken Tanlac with such wonderful results that I decided to try it, and right from the first few doses I began to improve. My appetite returned and now I am enjoying my meals because everything agrees with ' me. The pains in my muscle3 and back have all disappeared and I can do my : housework without any trouble at all. j My complexion has cleared up, and I ! am gaining in weight every day and ' I am enjoying perfect health.

Sedition Legislation Attacked. Mr. Plumb vigorously attacked pending sedition legislation "as the first time the law has undertaken to declare that an injustice to property or an act of hate against property constitutes sedition against the gov ernment." "The people have the inalienable, unalterable and indefensible right to change or alter their form of gov ernment whenever the happiness, peace and prosperity of the people re quire it," he said. "That unalterable rigm is now tnreatenea. it must De preserved." ,The Dalles Plans Trade Sleet. THE DALLES. Or., Feb. 12. (Spe cial.)
