REASSURING
Sign Seen In Presidential
Race BY Clark
Large Number Of Candidates
Shows Great Interest

Washington, March Champ Clark,
speaking of the political situation re-
Gently, said it was one of the most
promising signs of the times that SO
many men were seeking the presi-
dental nomination in both great par
ties. He thought it indicated unusual
interest by the people in public af-
fairs, and would work In the direct In
terest of the nation as a whole.
Mr.. Clark noted that not for many
years have there been as many active
candidates for the Democratic nomina-
tion. Certainly, since the advent of Mr..
Bryan, in 1896, the field of Democratic
presidential aspirants, he said, has
been limited. The party had no can.
didate in that year, and representa-
tives went to the Chicago convention
on a man hunt.
There had been some talk about
"Sllver Dick" Bland of Missouri, and
perhaps he might have been nominal
ed but for Mr.. Bryan's eloquence. In
1900 the Democrats renominated Mr..
Bryan by acclamation. In 1904 Judge
Alton b. Parker and w. r. Hearst
were the real candidates for the nom
ination. In 1908 Mr. Bryan was again
the unanimous choice of his party.
In the unusually large number of
Democrats seeking the nomination this
year Mr.. Clark sees strong evidence
that this is to be Democratic year.
Talks with some of the leading Dem
ocrats in the House disclose the
grounds on which the Democratic hope
for victory this year is based. After
making allowance for the present sit
uation in the Republican party, and
the likelihood that no nominee of that
party this year will poll the entire
party vote the Democrats point to the
result of the 1908 election. While
President Taft won by popular ma
jority of 1,269,S04 1t is declared that
that figure does not tell the true story
of the contest. American presidents
are not elected by popular vote, and
on more than one occasion candidates
receiving popular majority have had
minority of the electoral college.
A change in three states, say the
Democrats, would have elected Bryan
over Taft In 1908. These three states
were New York, Ohio and Missouri,
with a total of so electoral votes. New
York went for Taft by plurality of
203 ,000,, and change of 100000 votes
there would have given It's 80 votes
to Bryan. A change of 900 votes in
Missouri would have given IS elector-
al votes to Mr.. Bryan. A change of
81, 900 votes in Ohio would have given
23 electoral votes to the Nebraskan.
A change of 5000 votes would have
turned Indiana from Mr.. Taft to Mr..
Bryan.
To Offset the 1908 Republican vic
tory, the Democrats this year will not
have to change 100000 votes, or one
half OF the popular majority which

cratic leaders, are jubilant over the
outlook, provided the Democratic
House makes no serious mistakes dur
ing the present session. They say
they have the whip hand for the first
time since 1892, and that while their
party is reasonably well-united, the
Republican party is disturbed by fac
tional differences.

Means sinnle Tax?

o
Means Single Tax7
A great many people believe, and
there are reasonable grounds for such
opinions, that the proposed constitu-
tional amendment to permit classifi-
cation of property for taxation is a
move in the interest Of the single tax.
Governor Harmon brought about an
enforcement of the constitutional pro-
vision which requires all property to
be taxed at its true value In money,
and the results are satisfactory to so
large majority of the property own
ers, that changing that rule for plac-
ing effects ON the tax duplicate would
bring forth strenuous protests from
the people.
Judge II. M. Dittey, Of the state tax
commission, spoke of this subject be-
fore the taxation committee of the
constitutional convention as follows,
recently: Classification may be Sc
cured In either of two ways-by dl.
rectly incorporating In the constitu-
tuition a provision permitting classia-
cation, or by placing no restriction up
on the general grant of legislative
power. IL the subject Of taxation is
left wholly within the discretion of
the legislature, or IL 1t be permitted
to classify property and levy taxes at
different rates, there will be con-
tinual struggle for special advantage,
and the active, the vigilant, the dill
gent, who are always looking out for
their own interests, will shift their
burdens to the shoulders of those least
able to bear them. 1t would be class
legislation of the worst kind.
"The unrest and discomfort among
our people is due largely to the un-
equal distribution of wealth. So long
as wealth is unequally distributed its
possessors should contribute equally,
each according to his ability, to the
public expense. ! do not believe that
the taxation OF moneys and credits
would drive capital out of the state.
In my opinion, this is bugaboo"
Governor Harmon, in. his message
to the Ohio general assembly which
sat In 1910, asked that the land own
er, especially the farmer and home
owner, be justly dealt with in taxa
ton affairs, and he also made 1t plain
that he was opposed TO the single
tax. No other governor In the history
of the state did 80 much as did Gov
ernor Harmon, to take from the shoul-
ders of farmers and home owners, an
unjust portion of the tax burden they
had been bearing for years.
In his message OF January 3, 1910,
the governor referred as follows to
the method of valuing property for
taxation. "The constitution points
out the only road to fairness. And il
is the only safe road for the great ma
jority of tax payers, All property OF
every sort should, therefore, be val
ued by the rule ordained by the con
stltution. The results of yaluing oth
erwise have not been happy with re
| spect to real estate, especially farms
and ordinary homes. These have al
! ways paid more than their fair share
OF taxes. But the owners of such pro
perty will not and should not submit
to this valuation unless all other prop
erty is treated In the same way. II
this be done the glaring inequalities
which now disgrace the duplicate will
he avoided; and Il can be accomplish
ed by no other means"
