Poor old Ohio, the home of Presi- dents, is having hard time of it.. Be sides being the Taft Home state, it also has Governor Harmon to push as a presidential candidate-and as tho these two burdens were not enough there are the difficulties of the Gar fieldites and about all the other ties that are going. The Buckeyeites have also listened to Senator La Toilette. who invaded the state and added to the joy and confusion of political knowledge. Ohio seems to be the storm center of the political cyclone, and this rush of politicians to it. must indicate that all classes of party lead CTS are eager to be on hand, when the rainbow comes up, in hopes that the pot of gold may be theirs.

BRYAN AND THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE

MT. William J. Bryan of Nebraska, injected his personality into the Ma tional Committee meeting at Wash ington, D. c. this week, by means of a proxy and as usual was unsuccess- full in his attempt to dictate to the Democratic party. This is the second attempt MT. Bryan has essayed in this role of self constituted dictator dur ing recent months. His first offense was his attack upon the democratic majority of congress, led by that bril- liant democrat of the South, Oscar Underwood. The democratic majori- ty, by an overwhelming vote, again resented the interference of the gen. tleman from Nebraska in the role of a dictator to the party which had thrice honored him with the democrat ic nomination for President.
 In the meeting of the National Con- mittee at Washington, MT. Bryan boasted that he had "six million vot- CTS behind him. and when the commit tee refused to unseat National Com mitteeman Guffey of Pennsylvania, MT. Bryan threatened to appeal to the people, It is quite true that as the democratic candidate for Presi-
 dent MT Bryan received Upwards of
 six million votes cast by the rank and
 file of the democratic party, but MT
 Bryan is in error if he is imbued with the idea that the rank and file, at the same time, constituted him their at torney in fact for all time and on ev- cry occasion to speak and act for

 with an exaggerated idea of his own importance during the off years. The democrats still have great admiration and a warm spot in their hearts fol

The Convention of Assessors, in Bisbee this week, recommended an in- crease in the bullion tax now paid by the mining companies from 25 per cent of the gross output to 40 per cent. In addition to this bullion tax mining companies are to pay on the full cash value of all other prop erty. With the low price of copper, such as has been witnessed in Arizona during the past years, such taxation scheme would mean the closing down of some of our largest producers. The fairness of the proposed taxation scheme by the Assessors depends en- tirely upon the price of copper.
