ING LETTERS.
BY Associated Press.

Sea Sirf, N T., Aug. 2.-Formal an
nouncement was made today by Gov
ernor Wilson that he will not resign
the governorship of New Jersey dur
ing his campaign for the presidency.
The governor had kept his mind
open on the question of resigning ever
since the Baltimore convention. Lead
ing Democrats in the state, however,
have urged him to follow the precedent
of Grover Cleveland. who was nomi-
mated for the presidency, but con-
tiuued in the office Of governor of
New York.
Governor Wilson Is keenly inter
ested in prospective reports from COM
mittees investigating the tax problem
and the efficiency of state affairs in
New Jersey and prominent Democrats
havS asked him not to forsake his
office holess called to a higher one.
notwithstanding the demands on his
strength, Governor Wilson declares he
is in excellent health. His recent
yachting trip had a healthful effect,
even though he' admits he is not ac-
Customed to sailing.
Joseph e. Davies, secretary Of the
rational committee, who was here
Tor a conference with the governor,
suggested another sea trip soon' but
Governor Wilson answered by quoting
this limerick:
''I wish that my room had a floor,
I don't so much care for a door,
But this walking around without
touching the ground
Is getting to be such bore"
Through stacks of back correspond
ence Governor Wilson continues to
pick his way cheerfully along, facing
constant interruptions from callers.
II feel about my correspondence" !"
he said, very much like the frog that
tried to get out of a well. Every time
it jumped one foot it fell back two"
Letters about the campaign flow
into the summer capital by the hun
dreds. The governor intends giving
his personal attention to all.
Governor Wilson gave his attention
early today to the problem of or
ganizing the national committee. The
goveEnor said the delay in organiza-
ton was due to the committees
earnest desire to make thorough
preparations for the division of cam
paign labor.
Governor Wilson spent fully an hour
today writing his own name as swiftly
as he could while a negro stood by
blotting a stream of letters. No more
rubber stamp signatures will go forth
from the summer capitol.
Three visitors from the south visit
ed Governor Wilson today. They were

Suggestions for bettering the tax and

George OF New York by Leo Simmons Of

Clifford Pinchot's assumption that he is
underassessed. Mr.. Simmons says in
part:
Real estate assessments might be i'm
proved by providing law for taking the
assessments as they now stand for q
basis. Give the President of the United
States power to appoint three men who
have knowledge of real estate values and
who have resided in the District Of Co.
lumbia and have been taxpayers for at
least six years; who shall sit as q board
OF tax appeal for six months every second
year.
Let the present board of assessors act
as investigators and when they believe
that piece Of real estate is assessed too
low. let them notify the owner of same
that they will appear before the said
board during its session, and ask that
the taxes on such piece Of real estate be
increased, and provide also that the own
er OF any piece of real estate in the Dis
trict who believes his property overas-
sessed or excessive. may serve notice on
said board OF assessors or investigators
that he will appear before the board OF
appeals and ask that his assessment be
reduced.
In this way, each man would have
his hearing before a proper and impartial
tribunal and there could be no dispute or
continued clamoring about the assess
ments being too low
