Tax paid by corporations above, in 1900,

an increase of $4,000. 1.-THE tax commits
sloner's office is to be credited with this
raise" he said.
On the other hand, the friends of the pro-
posed system declare that the county as
SCISSORS books viii also show that all
these corporations have been raised just
as much as in the city assessment. Thus
the question is left, open to argument.
Ex-Mayor Thomas Hector said he was
opposed to the elimination OF the tax COM
missioner, on the ground. that only after
the office was created did the corporations
of the city receive an assessment any
where near just or equal. .
The men opposed say that the South
tax commissions was always last
to raise the assessment and that in each
case he had followed the lead of the
county assessor.
Jerry Howard, 1t is declared, has organ
lied a rebellion against the tax commits

the fire department. rejecting the double
shift. 1t is said a meeting has been called

There is no middle ground. Mr..

home, is not disposed to regard the
matter so lightly. After refusing to
recognize either faction, and urging
harmony. the Republican says:
Tho seriousness of the situation

both sides OF the conflict are loyal

more OF faction than of party and
has some selfish aim to advance.

REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE.

1t isn't n far cry to the time
when the whole country rang with
denunciations of "bilion dollars
congress- and the students OF gov
lernmental affairs wondered where
Republican extravaganza would end.
These appropriations were so far
out of all proportion even to the
growth Of the country in wealth
and population that people looked
grave and shook their heads over
the prospect of the future.
But appropriations like those for
an entire congress almost sound
like pin-money compared with the
Republican extravaganza of today
when we read Of billion dollar APP
preparations for a single session of
one congress.
The chief clerks of the commit
tees of the house and senate, re-
spectively. have just made up the
official figures of the first session Of
the sixtieth congress, which show
an aggregate of a billion eight mil
lion dollars-with few odd hun
dred thousand which we can afford
to ignore when talking in terms of
such extravaganza.
This is an increase of cighty-sev-
en- and a half millions above the
appropriations of the last session of
the fi.ty-ninth congress, which was
record breaker itself.
The fact of the matter is that
when we come to examine these
appropriations in details we find
that there has been an increase in
every one of the general appropria-
tion acts, except in few minor de-
partmcnts which aggregate some
thing over four hundred thousand
dollars by way of decrease.
There is nothing academic about
arguments like these. When
party has been in power so long
that it has the impudence to spend
this much of the peoples money at
single session OF congress, it be-
comes a self-evident fact that it Is
time to make a change. Atlanta

STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE

Though many people affect to be-
heve that Bryan has again forced
himself on the party, we do not
think there is reasonable founda-
ton for this notion. II ever a can
didate avs freely chosen Bryan has
been freely chosen. He is the can
didate was freely chosen Bryan has
party wanted him. He had no fed
eral officers at work for him, no
machine which he could control ex-
cept through his own popularity.
All that we can say. all
that one can say, is that Mr. Bry-
ans nomination has reused great
enthusiasm, that he is the free
choice of his party; that that party
is united as it has not been for six
teen years; that Bryan is stronger
than he ever was before. and that
people are no longer afraid of him
at least to the extent that they
once were. The situation has
changed in many ways and every
change is favorable to Bryan.-In
