STATE QUESTIONS.

Having done that, 1t is our duty 10
turn to the affairs of our own state.
Let us be fair TO our adversaries. They
are In the majority in the Legislature,
and Mt the last session Of that body
they passed the Longworth bill which
makes 1t easier in the future to amend
the state constitution. Under that law
we of Ohio shall no longer be tied
down by the narrow ideas of half n
century ago. The dead hand has been
lifted. This is probably the best law
that has been put OH the statut,
books OF our state In the last thirty
years.
But on the whole, that same Repub-
llcan Legislature has lent itself to the
service of the monopoly corporations.
Most of It's members carried railroad
passes in their pockets while they
buried the bill to reduce railroad fares
to the peoples and they suppressed the
bill to tax steam railroads on the same

fortune of any state to offer. They
have only to say the word, and every
city within our borders will govern
itself in local affairs, and throughout
the whole great commonwealth
the principle of just taxation
will prevail. Home rule and
just taxation! Let us adopt
those ideals of ali good government,
and we shall solve 1.-THE riddle which
the Sphinx of Fate puts to our civili-
zation" and which 1t must answer or
he destroyed. These are the issues of
this campaign. These are the shibbo-
leth of the Ohio Democracy today,
and my prayer is that they will con-
tinue so to be until they are realized
Home rule and just taxation! Fellow
Democrats, under that banner let us
fight, and by that sign we shall con-
quer.

"RIPPER' LEGISLATION.

When 1t was discovered that the city
government of Cleveland could be
neither bought or brow beaten, the
Republican attorney general was APP
pealed to by the frightened monopo-
lists, and he brought an custer suit. We
have heard of ripper legislation; this
was ripper litigation. Cleveland has
confessedly the best city charter in
Ohio. 1t had been granted by Repub-
lican Legislature dozen years ago, to
whom the credit belongs and both the
Republican and Democratic masses of
Cleveland approved it. No attempt
was made to break that charter until
the people elected an administration
that dared question the privileges of
the public service corporations. Then
it was assailed by Republican politi-
clans, spurred on by monopolists, and
the attorney general asked the Su-
preme Court Of the state to declare it
unconstitutional. That court did so.
But it did not stop there. 1t also de-
clared the whole charter system of
Ohio invalid. For that. reason the
Legislature is now convened in special
session to frame general municipal

THE UNIVERSAL CODE.

In so far as the Republican leaders
aim to make proper system of muni-
cipal government, they should have
the cordial support of every Demo-
cratic member of the Legislature. But
If, rs now seems certain, they try to
foist upon our municipalities system
of board rule, their work ought to be
condemned by good citizens of all par
ties. For board rule means boss rule
in its worst sense, as everybody must
know who knows how Cincinnati is
governed. Board rule, divided respon-
sibility, control from the state capitol,
that is the system that creates and
maintains hopeless civic conditions in
Cincinnati. The little finger of the
boss is stronger than the loins of the
people. But under home rule, under
until ripper litigation had done its
work, no boss has been able to hold
out against public sentiment. In Gin
clnnati, under their boss and board
ridden government, a fifty-year fran
chise was boldly granted to the street
in power; but the mere attempt to
make twenty-five year grant in
Cleveland swept from Office every man
\ who favored the proposition from the
chief executive down. This illustrates
the difference between political lead,
ership through the manipulation of
boards. and political leadership di
rectly subject to the will of the peo,
pie,
In framing our municipal code there
should be extraordinary vigilance
regarding franchises, especially those
of street railways. The fact that the
street railway grants in Cleveland are
about to expire and that the latest ju
dicial decision declares unconstitution
al the fifty-year franchise in Cincin
natl, makes the temptation great fol
all the powerful public service corpor
ations Of our cities to unite in an eff
fort to slip into the municipal code
4 provisions hostile to the public inter
ests. A cunning and well paid lobby
4 is at work, and the only sure way o.
bringing its clandestine schemes I
naught Is to provide in the code tina
no franchise, and no renewal of fran
chise, shall be operative In any cit,
until the ordinance granting it ha
been ratified by majority vote of tn
people OF that city.

CONCLUSION.

The opportunity opens before the
people of Ohio to engage in a noble
work. II they choose they may take
their place in the van of the great
moral as well as political movement
that Is making headway wherever the
English language is spoken. They
have only to say the word, and our
state will set an example in human
progress such as seldom falls to the

basis of valuation as homes and farms.
The board of equalization for railroads,
all Republicans, had decided that the
present laws are so defective that
steam railroads cannot be assessed
for taxation as high as homes and
farms. The Supreme Court had sus-
tained them in that decision. Every
Supreme Court judge is Republican,
and some of them were railroad at
torneys. Respect for the court pre-
cludes our suggesting that it was in
fluenced by these facts, though we
know how difficult it is for any man,
even though he be a Judge, to escape
the influences of association. But,
Notwithstanding the defect in the tax
laws, the legislative committee gave
but scant consideration to the propos-
ed remedy and the measure was not
allowed to come to vote.
| Now note what this Republican Leg
islature did to cover its tracks. 1t re-
duced state taxes OH real and personal
property more than one-half. But how
did it make up most of the consequent
loss to the state revenues? BY taxing
monopolies? No. BY taxing other in
terests that were paying less than
their share? No. 1t did 1t principally
by taxing the stock of the corporations
that have no monopoly privileges but
do a competitive business. This stock
is owned almost entirely within the
state. At the same time the Legisla-
ture exempted corporations owning
rich monopoly franchises in Ohio, the
stock of which is held almost entirely
outside the state. The Ohio stock
holders in saw mill company, doing
business in Ohio, are to pay taxes
called license fees, on their capita
stock; but stockholders in monopoly
corporations, who live in New York
are exempted from that form of tax
alton. Noris that all. There are gross
determinations between the owners o.
stock in Ohio business corporations
And these determinations favor tn,
rich. Whether stock is worth $40
share or $500 share, 1t must pay tn,
same tax per share. So the forme
must pay higher taxes than the latter
in proportion to value, by eighty time
or nearly 5000 per cent.

PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN STATE
OFFICIALS AND RAILROADS.

If the Legislature had taxed steam
railroads and other public service cor
porations fairly, it could have abolish
ed the state tax on real and personal
property altogether, without taxing the
stock Of competitive business corpor-
ations Mt all. But the Republican lead
ers could not consent to that. They
had made n bargain with the steam
railroads to permit no hostile legisla-
tion If the railroads would submit to
a slight Increase of taxes. Pursuant
to that bargain, the governor proposed
and the Legislature adopted n law in
creasing the tax on steam railroads
100000 year. This is less than ten
per cent of what the increase would
be if steam railroads were taxed as
much in proportion to the value of
their Ohio property as Ohio farmers
and home-owners are. A fair proper
ton for the steam railroads would be
an increase of $4000,0O0 a year in
stead of 100000.
BY such unmstakable signs the lead.
ers of the Republican party in this
state have exposed their willingness
to guard and defend the interests OF
privilege and monopoly at the expense
of the unprivileged people. | say Re
publican leaders, because do not be
lieve that this partnership with mono
poly is approved by the Republican
masses. Acting for monopoly inter
ests, the state officials and the mem
hers of the dominant party In the Leg
islature have defeated all legislation
looking to the correction of inequali
ties in taxation Incontestable proof
was furnished them that the steam
railroads and the other public service
corporations together are evadlng pay

as compared with home owners ant
farmers, to the extent OF not less thar
S600o,0o0 or $7,000,0OO a year. TIL,
facts are conceded. Yet every attemp
to correct this manifest inequality hal

posed Of Republicans, stand in th'

ture stands in the way of making

ence of the city of Cleveland dung
the past year and a half. The city
board of equalization raised the valu-
alton of the local public service cor
porations nearly $20,O00,000. This
brought 1t up from per cent to 60
per cent of its market value, which is
the customary basis Of valuation in
ordinary cases. But state board,
composed of the governor, the attor-
ney general and the state auditor, wip-
ed that assessment out. leaving these
corporations to make their own assess
ments; and the Republicans in the
Legislature legislated the faithful city
board out of existence. In place of
that board new city board has been
appointed by the same State
officials. 1t Is composed of
men who can be trusted
to guard monopoly interests. The old
city board of equalization was not alone
in offending the monopolists. The city
Council offended also. 1t provided for
a street car system with three-cent
fares and ultimate ownership by the
city. Government by injunction was
thereupon brought into play. The
|
Cleveland Council is now enjoined
from granting street car franchises with
low fares, while every other city in the
state is at liberty to grant street car
franchises with high fares.
