The gold will be transferred from

GROESBECK is SEEKING
FOURTH TERM IN OFFICE
Friends of Comstock Hope for Re-
nomination Despite Strong
Opposition in Field.
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE,


DETROIT, August 25.-Although
nominees are to be selected in the
Michigan primary September IL for
1 senatorial post and II members Of
Congress. interest in the primary
campaign thus far has been monopo-
lized almost exclusively in the con-
tests for Republican and Democratic
governorShip honors.
Probably greatest interest has been
attracted by the Republican contest,
not so much because it embraces a
contest on the part of the party to
recapture the control 1t exercised over
Michigan's political affairs for so
many years, but because there also is
involved an effort on the part of Alex
J. Groesbeck, three-time Governor
of the State, to be renominated for
that Office.
Opposing him are Frank D. Fitz-
gerald, Secretary of State and the lone
Republican to survive the Democratic
hurricane Of November. 1882: John
w. Smith, former mayor Of Detroit,
/ and Orla Bailey, a Shiawassee County
farmer.
Charges Are Denied.
Smith has emphatically denied as
sertions heard in some political circles
that he has entered the campaign
merely to defeat Groesbeck. At the
same time much of his campaign has
been leveled against the former Gov
ernor. AS the lone Republican sur
vivor of the Democratic cleanup OF
1882, Fitzgerald has been regarded in
some quarters as the titular head Of
his party in the State.
On the Democratic side Of the gu
bernatorial wars Gov. William A.
Comstock, who tried for many sue
cesSive elections to place Democrats
in possession of the Wolverine States
political ofices, is opposed by John K.
Stack, jr., of Escanaba, Democratic
auditor general, and Arthur j. Lacy
of Detroit. Comstock has made little
active campaign thus far. Among his
friends the attitude appears to be
that Comstock led the party to VIC
tory after many lean. years and is
entitled to denomination without a
fight.
His opponents are promising gov
ernmental economies and tax reforms,
the while criticiZing some of the
measures backed by Gov. ComStock.
Not the least of the measures put
through by the Governor and the
Democratic Legislature are the 3 per
cent sales tax and an old-age pension
tax calling for annual payments OF 81

DALLAS. Tex, August 25.-Plans
for Texas centennial celebration in
1896 are proceeding apace, as the
United States and foreign govern
mentS consider means Of cooperation,
and five Texas cities loom as rivals
for the role Of host to the exposition
Within a few weeks a committee
from Congress, headed by Texas
junior Senator, Tom Connally, will
visit the State to determine what
Federal assistance in the affair shall
be extended.
The governments of France, Spain
and Mexico are expected to respond
to invitations to cooperate, since the
history of Texas under six flags
those of Spain, France, Mexico. the
Confederate States, its own Lone Star
flag and the United States--is to be
portrayed.
Meantime Austin, Dallas, Fort
Worth, Houston and San Antonio are
in the running as sites for the CEN
tral exposition. Dallas has formu-
lated a proposal offering about S.
000, 900 in land and money. and q
campaign is under way to obtain ap-
proval Of the citizens.
Houston has been conducting
straw vote on a proposed municipal
bond issue of $1,000 900 to $4,000, 600,
which, in addition to land, probably
would place its offer in the same gen-
eral amount as that Of Dallas.

Senator Stephens
Gains Strength in
Mississippi Race
White House Support in
Tuesday Primary Be-
Iieued accorded.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
JACKSON, Miss, August 25.-With
new deal support from the White
House, Senator Hubert D. Stephens,
one of the four Democratic candidates
to be voted on in the Mississippi
primary of Tuesday, gained some
strength during the last week of the
campaign.
Although an open Endorsement was
not given Senator Stephens, people
in Mississippi believe that he has the
same tacit Endorsement Of President
Roosevelt that Senator Tom Connally
of Texas had. And the preference of
Democratic President means much
in Democratic Mississippi.
The nomination in the Democratic
primary is equivalent to election.
There is hardly a possibility that the
Republicans will enter a candidate for
the election of November. 1t isn't done
in Mississippi except when a Repub-
lican is President, and then the small
Republican vote polled in Mississippi
is used as argument by the Repub-
lican leaders for Federal patronage
through their Endorsement.
Called in on Conference.
When Senator Stephens was called
from the campaign in Mississippi to
attend a conference at the White
House with President Roosevelt, it
was considered significant in the
State campaign. Dispatches from
Washington following the conference
this week strengthened that belief in
Mississippi and, incidentally, strength
ened Stephens.
Representative Ross Collins. who
had sure place in the Lower House,
but who became a candidate for the
Senate. claims that he will be in the
second primary. Although the new
deal is the foremost issue in the
Mississippi race. neither Collins nor
any other candidate is an open op-
| ponent of the new deal program.
| Stephens, however, made the keynote
of his speeches the new deal, by which
he was willing to stand for reelection.
Stephens supported the administration
measures except the prohibition re-
peal, but Mississippi is one of the
extremely dry States-legally.
| Appealing to Veterans.
Representative Collins is making q
strong appeal to the soldier vote He
is advocating immediate payment OF
the bonus, against which Stephens
voted. Collins is generally believed tc
be the choice of United States Senator
Huey Long of Louisiana, who is hav-
ing excitement enough in his own
State directing his punitive expedi-
ton" to New Orleans.
Theodore G. Bilbo, twice Governor
of Mississippi. claims that he will be
in the second primary. And he may
be. His strength is unknown. He is
promising the people of Mississippi tc

MARYLAND MOVE
FOR UNIFORM TAX
YEAR LAUNCHED
Cities, Towns and Villages
Urged to Adopt County
Assessment.
BY ]. C. DEPONAI.


BALTIMORE, August 25.-A move
for uniform State tax year-that is
for all counties, cities and towns
throughout the State to set January
l as the date of finality-was launched
this week by the State Tax Commis-
sion.
Jesse D. Price, chairman of the
commission, urged the authorities OF
cities, towns and villages which have
separate assessments for municipal
taxes to adopt their county assess
ment, thus unifying and simplifying
the tax basis in each county.
Such action by local authorities Is
particularly desirable at this time, Mr..
Price said, because of the general re-
assessment which is to take place next
year. The 1881 Legislature postponed
until 1885 the regular reaSsessment
which was to take place in 1882. The
Tax Commission, whose duty it is to
supervise the work of county assessors,
expects the Job to be started in jan
uary.
Variance i'm Systems.
Fright now only Baltimore City and
four counties-Baltimore, Hartford,
Anne Arundel and Frederick-have
fiscal years which correspond to the
calendar year." he said. THE other
10 counties vary by as much as six
months. This makes it almost i'm
possible to tell just where We stand
at any given time. 1t makes statis-
tics on delinquency, for example. un-
reliable, in that a taxpayers delin-
quency in county with a fiscal year
beginning in January occurs six
months before it does in a county
whose year begins in July.
In addition, it confuses the work
of the State Finance Department. In
stead of knowing on September 10,
when collectors have to report to the
controller, just how each county
stands with reference to its collec-
ton of State taxes, we have to take
into consideration their different levy
dates. Among other things, this i'm
poses an unnecessary burden on per-
sons OF Corporations paying taAcS III
more than one county,
Views on Assessments.
In commenting on the proposed
Statewide reassesSmentS, Oscar Lesser,
a member of the Tax Commission since
its establishment in 1914 and rec
ognized authority on assessments, en-
phasized that assessments do not de-
termine the amount of taxes. The
amount, he explained, is determined
by the governmental authorities who
prepare the budget and make the ap-
preparations. Assessments establish
the proportion of the burden which
each property holder bears in rela-
tion to other property holders.
"Trere is common impression that
reasSessment necessarily means in
crease in assessment" Mr.. Lesser said.
This is true only when the assess
ment now on property is below its fair
value. If the decline in property
values during the last few years per-
sists, there is bound to be a general
lowering of assessments next year"
