f TRY OF THIRD TARTY WAITS ON PLANK HEWERS Federal Control of Roads and Mines May Prove to Be Dividing Issue. PLATFORMS ARE SHAPED By HUGH FAIL LIE. United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—Entrance of l third party into the presidential camiaign depends on whether certain radical blanks are Incorporated in the platforms if the republican or democratic parties, ccordlng to political indications here oday. The fight to get these planks into the datforaf seems likely to materialize at he democratic convention. The republ.;an platform will be studied out and Beared in advance, at lea sty tentatively. m there does not appear to be much chance of a convention clash over-It. The radicals—this does not mean reds —want government ownership of railroads'"and mines and more government aid for f armers. If such legislation is not promised by the major parties, the inclination of the backers of thes| issuer is to form a third party. W. J. Bryan said dhxing his recent visit here that partial government control of railroads would be the biggest issue before the voters in November. Many believe he will make a strong fight at the San Francisco convention for incorporation of such a plank in the platform. OtAer Important problems, however, are before the platform planners of both parties today. The republicans are expected to lay much stress on governmental economy, possibly advocating consolidation of government departments and bureaus alqng the lines followed by Gov. Lowden of Illinois, and general retrenchment so taxes may come down. A permanent arbitration body, modeled £ ong the lines of the federal trade commisdon, has been'suggested. It was pointed out that labor differences could be brought before' such a tribunal just as unfair trade practices aTe laid before the trade commission. ALSO WORKS FOR HIGHWAY PLANK. Bryan is advocating a great system of national highways and will make an effort to get it Into the democratic platform. A bid for the soldier vote Is likely to be made by both parties through planks promising aid to veterans of the great war. Many democrats think the measure on this subject pending in the house and known as the Mondell bill, is inadequate. Sentiment is developing for an even bigger army than provided in the pending bill in case the United States should ra*Tain permanently out of the league of nations and in this connection It is suggested that provision should be made for several more training .schools like West Point and Annapolis, on the Pacific coast and possibly in the northwest. AMERICeANISM TO BE RECOGNIZED ISSUE. Americanism is likely to make its appearance in both platforms, probably in the shape of a plank declaring party loyalty and denouncing reds. A pronouncement advocating continuance of Income tax legislation probably will be put into the democratic platform Party lenders hall tbelncome-Aax as one of the administration's achievements. The republican declaration of principles, It‘is believed, will contain a pledge to Stabilize the Mexican situation and protect American rights there. Evidence of Mexican outrages, which the Fall committee expects to gather on the border, is being counted on to show democratic klaxness in this regard.
MORE FREIGHT P CARS NEEDED AIIi.'TB’BTIRG, Jan. 14. —Immediate large SP eases in the freight carrying capacity H American railroads is the only hope of avoiding one of the worst financial panics ,in history Samuel O. Dunn, editor of the RnPv Age, told the Rotary club here !■■ * “The people an-- "css of the United States are living i.i a fool’s paradise so far as the railroad situation is concerned,” E'unn said. “The listing of stocks upon the stock exchange |nd other evidence shows we are engaged In investing billions of dollars annually and even monthly |n other industries while only a trifling amount is being invested in railway facilities. "Even now the railways are unable to handle all the commodities that the industries of the country can produce. The freight traffic actually carried has increased 45 per cent in four and one-half years, while the number of freight cars in which to carry it has increased only 2 per cent and other railway facilities in proportion.” Dunn called attention to the fact that lumber mills in the nortlfwest are closed down because the railroads can not furnish cars to haul the lumber, that Gov. Allen of Kansas recently announced 45 per cent of the Kansks wheat crop was still in the hands of the farmers because the railroads could not handle it, and that coal operators are constantly complaining that they can not get enough coal cars. Dunn said at least $2,000,000,000 a year should be invested in railroads for the next three years. Reds in Jail Must , Pay Income Taxes DETROIT, Jan. 14.—The fifty -seven reds now held for dejjprtation in the county jail here will have to pay their income taxes before they can be sent back to Russia, according to instructions to John 'A.
