WAS DRAWN IN
Coal Operator Wanted to Know Why
the President Was Mixed Up
in the Controversy.
PLAN WAS MITCHELL'S
DISTRICTS MAY SETTLE ONE AT
A TIME.

B1ttSDuTS, Mdrch 9--Wh hen the coal
operators of the Pittsburg district 20
to the general convention at Indianap-
oils on March 10 with the operators of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. they will
take a stand as body. This action
was determined at the meeting called
by Francis L. Robbins, and which was
held in this city today. There were
about fifty operators present.
Sensation Sprung.
Tonight it was learned that there was
somewhat of a sensation sprung during
the meeting. From a source that is re-
sarded as trustworthy, it is learned
that demand was made of Mr.. Rob
bins. who was presiding, that an ex-
PLANTATION be made of how President
Roosevelt came to enlist in the pend
ing controversy between the miners
and operators.
The demand, it is said, was made by
George B. MagoOn, vice president and
general manager Of the PittsbuTg &
WeStmoTeland Coal company. one of
the largest of the independent coal
companies.
Mr.. Robbins said the whole matter
was accomplished as q result of the
conference with John Mitchell while
they were in New York. The situation
was serious. and both agreed that 1t
was necessary to get another meeting
of the interstate conference.
Mitchell Called Up Roosevelt.
Mr.. Robbins. explaining further. said
that Mr.. Mitchell went to the Iong-dis-
lance telephone and called up the pres
ident at the White House. After ex-
planning the status Of the matter to
him, he suggested that he write let
ter to Mr.. Robbins urging that new
conference be called. He also asked
the president to talk the matter over
with Robbins and. without changing
the call, Mr.. Robbins went on the line
and arranged for the letter to be writ
ten which would be the basis of the
second call of the general conference.
This was on Monday. Feb "a. and
the following day, Feb. %. Mr.. Rob
bins received the letter from President
Roosevelt and the call of another con-
vention followed. This, Mr., Robbins
explained was the story of the presi-
dents intervention.
SingIe-Year Agreement.
One of the strongest points made at
tOday's conference. it was also said
tonight, was against any settlement for
more than a single year.
It was stated by coal men themselves
today that the partial settlements of
the dispute at Indianapolis or the sign
ing of the wage agreement by the Pitts
burg Coal company with the rest of
the opera tors he ng back, could mean
but one thing and hat was the decline

FOR HIGHER ASSESSMENT.
Grant County Demands Assessment at
Full Value.

Grant county is clamoring for a
full assessment of its property in or
der that the rate may oe reduced. In
commenting on the matter the Grant
County News says:
When the medium taxpayer under
stands that it will cost the entire pop
ulation of the county no more to as
sess property at par value than at part
value, and that it will cost to each of
the said medium taxpayers considera-
BILE less, the fight for honest assess
ment will have been won.
An illustration will prove the first
part of the statement better than an
assertion, and the following PROPOSE
ton is therefore submitted:
The actual value of property in
Grant county is s4,OOO,OOO. In order
to pay off the debt, $4,000 taxes
should be raised. The levy is per
cent-every man pays 80 on every
| 800 worth of property he owns. But
the property is assessed at one-half
valuation or S2,600,000 Now the levy
becomes 4 per cent-every man pays
81 on every 500 worth of property.
No difference in cost to the taxpayers
but a mighty difference to capital
seeking investment. Two per cent
attracts capital; four per cent repels
! it.
The former would be the truth, the
latter is lie.
The truth system in Grant county
is pushing forward slowly, against
much opposition, and through heavy
tangle of subterfuge and evasion
Many people are demanding that
every assessor be placed under bonds
to record the truth first, and required
to make affidavit that he has done so
afterwards.
Should the privileged few progress
too far, bonds and oaths for officers
heavy penalties for the tax dodger
will be found by the common people
into whose keeping all great questions
of state must finally be committed.

PORT TERMINAL RATES

Possibly the railway companies may
earn the credit for cutting the gordian
knot that hinders consolidation agree
ment between Los Angeles and San
Pedro. That surely would be an in
terestlng incident in the contemplated
jointure. And 1t would add to the
strength of the jointure, of course, if
the two cities should be bound together
by railway ties.
A vague intimation has been given
out that the railway interests con-
cerned at the harbor see the i'm
portance of helping along the consoli-
dation project. They are represented
as having taken into consideration the
fact that San Pedro's hesitancy is due
largely to matters within their own
purview. That is, San Pedro demands
certain concessions which are not with
in the scope of this city's power. but
which are directly connected with the
railway management.
AS The Herald has remarked before
San Pedro is entitled to know just what
union with Los Angeles 1t also is right
in holding out for such conditions as
appear to be necessary in safeguarding
the future interests of the port city.
1t is not only the San Pedro of today
but the great world port of the near
future that calls for consideration.
Approaching the immense interests
that the railway companies have in
such upbuilding of the harbor city as
would be assured by union with Los
Angeles, the companies are said to be
willing to make important concessions
for which San Pedro has been contend
ing. 1t is intimated that they have
been considering, especially the request
for terminal rates. which San Pedro has
strenuously contended for. AS an in
d:cation of the commercial Importance
of such rates it is said that cement
shipped from Missouri river points
costs nearly 25 per cent more for
freightage to San Pedro than to Los
Angeles. This because of the high
local tariff from the terminal point CLOS
Angeles) to San Pedro
1t is believed that with such railway
concessions secured as San Pedro de-
mands, all opposition to consolidation
with Los Angeles would disappear at
the port city. The concessions would
involve some present loss to the rail-
ways, but that loss would be immaterial
compared with the gain resulting from
such powerful backing as the harbor
city would get from it's allegiance with
Los Angeles

POLITICAL OPENING WEEK

a quite general opening OF the polit-
ical campaign has occurred this week.
Several state conventions have been
held and preliminary steps taken for
such conventions in many other states.
All along the political line there are in
Gications OF great activity during the
three months and a few days that Will
intervene before the election.
In national politics the most interest
ing incident OF the week is the publi-
cation of letters from William J. Bryan
relative to party affairs in Illinois. Mr..
Bryan insists that the Democratic ma
tional committeeman from that state
shall either resign or be deposed, be-
cause he procured the position by al
legged fraud and was, as Mr.. Bryan de-
clares, one of the leaders in the high
crimes and misdemeanors committed
against the Democracy of Illinois,"
Some Characteristic sentiments are
expressed, of general character, in the
letters alluded to. For instance, Mr..
Bryan says: There is room in the
party for all who honestly favor Demo-
cratic principles, but the leadership
must be in the hands of those who have
the confidence of the party and whose
prominence will strengthen the party"
The sentiment thus quoted is in strik-
ing contrast with the action of a would
be rival OF Mr.. Bryan, as just reported
from New York. W. h. Hearsts de-
N 10 - ko
cratic organization of the state to his
candidacy for governor" says a dis
patch from New York, has been re-
jected by the Democratic state COM
mittee by vote OF more than four to
one" Failing thus to bulldoze the COM
mittee, as related in the dispatch,
Hearst took the field as an independ-
ent candidate today and will fight the
regular Democratic ticket"
Turning to the Republican side of the
weeks picture, the internal warfare in
the party in several states first claims
attention. The attempt to heal the
breach between the rival factions in
Iowa resulted only IN widening the
gap, Notwithstanding outward appear
ances. 1t seems certain that a large
percentage of the Republican vote in
Iowa will bolt the head of the ticket.
The situation in Ohio is quite as un-
satisfactory to national Republican
leaders as 1t is in iowa. President
Roosevelt is taking a hand in an effort
to harmonize the factions for the sake
of holding the present Republican seats
in the lower house of congress. The
election OF a Democratic governor last
year accounts for the "last resort" of
inducing the president to butt into"
the Ohio campaign.
Skipping the political activities in
other states, where the campaign is
rapidly warming. the bubbling in the
local political pot attracts attention.
Here. also, we md In vogue the Re
