The locals were back in form again
last night and disposed OF Urichs-

tured by the great work on Hickey in
the Marion cage.
The contest started out rather slow

became much faster and the last two
periods We're. all that could have
been desired. Marion should have
scored first as Shaw shot the bulb
into the cage after six minutes of
play, but Il refused to stay within
the draperies and rolled out into play
again. minute later Quigley put
one past Hickey.
The lead of the visitors was short
lived. Marion braced, tied the score
and passed into the lead. Although
at times the visitors were danger

kept them from scoring. On next
Tuesday night Ashland will play here

SAME OLD
QUESTIONS
House Takes Action Which
will be Repealed by The
Senate.

WASHINGTON. March 20.-The
houee mas voted to abolish the
etate pension agencies, as usual
and the senate will undoubtedly
restore them, as usual This per-
Torrance has been repeated for a
session or two.
Ohio has one OF the agencies at
Columbus, presided over by Gen.
W. r. Warneck.
Representative Taylor OF Colum-
bus made his debut as floor
tighter in opposing the amendment
to consolidate these agencies in
one, and that one at Washington.
Gen J. Warren Keifer reported the
proposition TO consolidate the agen-
ties and stoutly supported 1t. Tay-
lor was beaten. as was Dalzell
last session. The vote was SO to
l45 on a standing count and SG to
l39 by tellers But Taylor sue
ceeded in lining up most of the
Republicans Mt that. The solid
Democratic strength thrown in op-
position made the heavy tally
against MN.

The Ohio members present support
ed Taylor. Against him were Bur
ton, Keifer, Longworth, Howland,
Bannon and Kennedy The argu-
ment for the consolidation was
economy and the criticism directed
against it was that II was simply
transfer OF patronage to Wash
ington. The debate developed the
fact that pensions TO the amount
OF $1,000, 600 are paid in foreign

of those voting in favor of the
laws as submitted.
The friends of direct legislation
| in the senate will accept grumb-
lngly the amendment inserted by
the house on the theory that half
a loaf Is better than none. Indi-
cations are that the proposed
amendment to the constitution will
be submitted to the voters next
November in practically the same
form in which It passed the house.
Under the terms of the resolu-
ION as 1t stands the right is re-
served to the people to reject laws
passed by the general assembly and
10 initiate legislation. No laws
passed by the general assembly are
to become operative in less than
ninety days after the adjourn
ment of the assembly enacting
hem.
If before the expiration of the
ninety days petitions, signed by
D per cent. of the electors of tho
state. are filed with the secretary
of state, demanding a popular vote
on any law or part of a law pass
ed by the assembly, the same must
be submitted to the voters at the
next election following at which
a governor Is elected.
An act passed by the general
assembly and submitted to d.
rect vote of the people shall take
effect and become law unless n
majority of the votes cast at such
elections are against the proposi-
ton. In the same manner any
measure submitted 10 the people
will become a law.
Proposed laws or repeals OF
laws as enacted by the legislature
are to be submitted upon sep.
arate ballot without any political
party designation. These ballots
are to be deposited in boxes sep
arate from those containing the
regular election ballots.
The proposed constitutional
amendment itself will be submitted
on the regular party ballots next
fall. Mauy members of the house

debate with torrent of invective
aimed Mt those who fought for
the Judiciary committee amend
ment.
The long two days. fight was
confined almost entirely to whether
majority voting in favor of the
laws as submitted or majority
OF all those voting at the election
should be required. The attempt
to amend the report of the COM
mittee and require only majority
of those voting OF the laws was
defeated by the close vote of 62
TO SO.
The controversy over the ques-
ton OF direct legislation made It
appear that some of the best
equipped members OF the assembly
are those who are seldom heard.
Representative Kolinsky of Cleve-
land made one of the ready notable
speeches.
The leaders in the initiative and
referendum movement who have
been about the state house since
the session begun are already plan
ming their campaign for an adop-
ton OF. the constitutional amend
ment. Initiative and referendum
literature Is to be scattered over
Ohio by the ton. Later the litera-
ture is to be supplemented by
speeches which the direct legisla-
tion advocates say will be made
in every county in the state.
Republican leaders have put the
brakes on any further temperance
,loIyislation at this session of the
assembly The program Is to stifle
quietly all pending antl-liquor
bills. SO far as the liquor interests
are concerned this is much like
ocking the stable after the horse
Is stolen.
Behind the move of the big
Republican party leaders, including
conspicuous candidates on the
state ticket, is the fear OF a re-
action on the liquor uestion 1t

break on election day.
A number of the strongest tenn

publican members of the assembly
have been pledged to the move to
cry quits on sumptuary legislation.
