President Is Willing To Take Denomination,
 He Tells Ohio Voters
Continued from page I

Ohio may make known their prefer ence in regard to that nomination.
 ''In order, therefore, to satisfy the technical requirements of the sta- tutes of the state of Ohio, I hereby consent to the use of my name as a, candidate for the Presidency by any candidate who seeks to be elected a delegate. to the national Demo cratic convention which is to assemble in June next
 I This was the first time the Presi- dent had consented formally to have his name used in connection with the nomination. His name had been plac- ed on primary ballots in several states, however, through the activities of friends. The President takes the po- sitfon that the voters will have to de- termine whether he will make the race for the presidency in 1916 as the written to A. Mitchell Palmer, the re- presentative from Pennsylvania be- fore his inauguration, MT. Wilson madeNit plain that he would only be a candidate again if the Democratic voters desired 1t.
 Political advisers and friends of the President have taken it for granted for months that he would be the nominee Of his party and have made their plans accordingly.
 The national Democratic commit tee has prepared all the campaign ma teriaI with the idea that he would be the party candidate.
 The formal announcement today is expected by Dem mocratic leaders to cIarify the political situation through ont the country. Supporters of the President, they said today, now would be able to work for him more openly

 Why can't we stand together in an earnest~ effort to release our nation from foreign control Of one of the worlds greatest industries.
 Mr.. Hill is member of the ways and means committed. which is con- sidering a bill designed to establish and encourage the dyestuffs industry in the United States

F FAMOUS ENGLISH
 WRITER HERE TO

Sidney Brooks Lauds Dodge's Achievements As
 Ideal of Preparedness.

Sydney Brooks, the English pub- Iicist, who was for many years the London correspondent of Harper's weekly and isNa frequent contributor to the leading American magazines, was here today on a visit to the Rem- ingto41 Arms plant. To a reporter, who asked for his impressions. MT. Brooks said:
 s"The whole thing strikes me as one of the induStria1 marvels of the world. When you Nconsider the imagination and the speculative courage that could alone conceive and carry out such an undertaking, the astonishingly short time in which the plant has been con- stfucted, the immense organizing ability shown in the way everything, or pretty nearly everything, had been foreseen and provided for, and the prodigious output that has already been attained, you are almost forced, to throw up your hands in sheer an6azement-''
 Bridgeport may well be proud of having such an establishment in its midst I know something of the Eng Rish. factories but I know of none SO ef1cient in every detail and none in which the safety and health and com fort of the employees are so assiduous-s ly and successfully studied If I were an American mechanic out of a job, it is here that should come to try my luck Indeed am not all sure that the welfare work connected with the plants is not even more remarkable, than their size or their thoroughness ior any merely industrial quality they possess. It strikes me as not only the biggest thing of it's kind but the best a model factory in which the care. that is taken of the employestis as up Ito date as the machinery itself
 -sAnother thing that appeals to me is that while other people are talking l. port you actually have it. What MT. M. Hartley Dodge and his extraordi- nary able colleagues are doing is noth- ing less than a national service and of infinitely more value than speeches in Congress or agitation in the country. If we had such a plant Ia England rvhen the WAT broke out, many things would have Tone dfferentlys'

CORBIN URGES
 INTELLIGENCE
 IN TAX LEVIES
State Commissioner is Star Witness Before Special
 Committee Here.

The appointment by the state of trained assessors who would be able to bring expert knowledge to the sub je',t of taxation, waa advocated this morning by State Tax Commissi oner William H. Corbin when he appeared at hearing of the special committee appointed by Governor Holcomb to investigate the tax problem. The hearing was held in the county courthouse and atten ded by represen- tatives of several local manufacturing g concerns. The members of the com mittee are former Governor Simeon E. Baldwin, Frank H. Stadtmue1ler of West Hartford and Guy P. Miller of thms city.
 Commissioner corbin/ declared one m member of the staff he favored should be an engineer. Tn case the appoint ment of such a board by the state was not favorably considered he thought appointments by the counties of as sessors well who could devote time to the subject of taxation would be a good plan.
 He questioned whether the towns and cities at the present time are able to adequately cope with the tax ation problem. He said the average assessor is not qualified to put valua- ton on merchandise or manu1actures which require special Knowledge. The last general assembly, Commissioner CT
 
 tax legislation than ever before.
 A. H. Ballard of the Bullard Ma chine Tool Go. spoke in favor of a uni" form rate. He said land values were easily obtained but he thought some provision should be made for a re- bate in the case of depreciation in manufactured products.
 A brief was received from Attor- neys EIill & Boardman, who said they represented wealthy local man, wh ose name they did not care to dis close. In the brief it was claimed that the present tax on personal prop erty should be abolished as it was easily evaded and was not fair to everyone. A carefully drawn income tax similar to e/Federa1 income tax was recommended.
 This committee was appointed as a result of a resolution passed in the last General Assembly. It will report at the next Assembly. After a short hearing an adjournment without date was taken.
 It was reported that the new state income tax would bring enormous revenues from the concerns making war munitions. One company, the Scoville Go. of Waterbury. will pay $12o, 900.
 Among the local manufacturers rep resented at the hearing were the In ternationa1 Silver Co.,. Warner Bros, Bullard Machine Tool Go. and the Brid geport Hardware Co. Judge B. K. Nicholson appeared for the Chamber of Commerce and J. H. Blakenan of Stratford for the State Grange.
