The article focuses on a progressive program, in order to provide an efficient level of leadership to the Progressives. This program includes the following points: public ownership and management of power sites; increased governmental control of the communications systems, of all other utilities, and of the facilities for the distribution of power, with eventual public ownership and management of these systems; drastic downward revision of the tariff in the interest of a sounder national economy and of the agricultural community; readjustment of federal income and inheritance taxes to insure a more equitable distribution of income, and simultaneous establishment of a system of employment offices and a system of unemployment insurance.
