MUST DO ITS WORK OVER
OHIO LEGISLATURE CONVENED IN
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION.
Called to Enact Laws to Take the
Place of Those Declared Invalid
by the Supreme Court.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 25.-The Ohio Leg
islature convened at p. m. to-day in ex-
traordinary session to enact laws to pro-
vide for the government of municipalities
and to restore lost jurisdiction to the SUI
preme Court, these matters having been
rendered chaotic by the action of that court
during the early summer. In his message
Governor Nash first calls attention to the
act passed last May, depriving the Supreme
Court of nearly all the appellate jurisdic-
ton formerly possessed by the court The
repeal of the act is recommended Contin-
uing, the message says:
During the last days of June the Su-
preme Court of the State handed down sew
eral decisions which practically deprive our
municipal corporations of all government
1t is apparent that this is an extraordinary
occasion, which needs a remedy at the
earliest possible moment. Constitutional
government must be restored to our cities
and villages. The labor demanded of us is
not much a work of construction as of
reimbursement. The question now is, not
what We think would be a model municipal
government but what we can get consider
ing the constitutional limitations and all
the circumstances surrounding us The
task must be approached with a spirit of
give and take, and with a determination
10 accomplish something tnat Will bring
order out of chaos. 1t is time enough to
attempt to have our favorite ideas in re-
gard to municipalities incorporated into
law after order has been restored and when
the General Assembly has ample time, at
its regular session, to discuss and consider
them"
The Governor then traces briefly the his
tory of constitutional government of mu-
inequalities in Ohio, and advises that the
Legislature ignore the requests for con-
stitutiOnal convention. He then submits
his ideas for the necessity of the situation
in the form of a municipal code bill the
enactment of which he recommends Con-
Guiding, the Governor says: Il suggest
that by joint resolution you refer the school
laws to the state commissioner of common
schools and the attorney general; the laws
relating to the compensation of county Off
GERS to the auditor of state, secretary OF
state and the attorney general the laws

that it is inexpedient for the Democrats

the Democratic managers that common

The special session of the Ohio Legisla-
ture which began yesterday is of more than
ordinary interest to people beyond the
boundaries OF that State. because it will
consider the subject Of municipal govern
ment. Unexpectedly the Supreme Court
made a decision which makes every city
charter in the State unconstitutional, not
because of their provisions. but because
the Constitution adopted over fifty years
ago contains clause which divides cities
into three classes, each class to have the
same provisions in their charters. Legs
latures have ignored this provision of the
Constitution by subdividing classes so that
it has come about that laws have been
passed which apply to one city only. BY
throwing out these laws the Supreme Court
has made a revision of the entire system Of
city charters necessary. II il to adopt
charters conforming to the Constitution
that Governor Nash has called the Legis
lature together. So far as can be gathered
from newspaper reports two systems are
discussed. One of these is called the fed
eral system, which gives the Governor pow
er to appoint police commissioners, thus
practically putting the control of the police
in the hands Of the State executive. The
other system would concentrate the execu-
tive power in the hands of the mayor. as it
is accomplished by the present charter of
this city. If the inhabitants of cities would
do their duty as voters either of these sys-
TENS would be satisfactory, but the patent
