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.

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.
Oregon City has been striving to ob
tain an appropriation for a federal
building for many years. During the
war congress declined to entertain
the idea of appropriating money for
new public buildings, and in view of
the action of the committee of this
congress, opportunity to obtain a pub
lic building is lost here until the next
session of congress at least.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12. 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. My
husband praises Tanlac all the time, '
and since it has done so much for me :
I feel it my duty to tell others about
this wonderful medicine." i

against these obligations would de

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
