How about a comprehensive plan to solve our Problems?, ( a little progressive history here)

The formation of a National Council of experts for labor, for industy, for transportation, for the public health, for communications, etc. Selections to be made from the collective professionals or of tradesmen with legislative powers, and elected directly to a General Commission with ministerial powers.

The quick enactment of a law of the State that sanctions an eight-hour workday for all workers.

A minimum wage.

The participation of workers' representatives in the functions of industry commissions.

To show the same confidence in the labor unions (that prove to be technically and morallyworthy) as is given to industry executives or public servants.

The rapid and complete systemization of the railways and of all the transport industries.

A necessary modification of the insurance laws to invalidate the minimum retirement age;we propose to lower it from 65 to 55 years of age.

The institution of a national militia with a short period of service for training and exclusively defensive responsibilities.

A strong progressive tax on capital that will truly expropriate a portion of all wealth.

The seizure of all the possessions of the religious congregations and the abolition of all thebishoprics, which constitute an enormous liability on the Nation and on the privileges of the poor.

The revision of all military contracts and the seizure of 85 percent of the profits therein.
