THE COUNTY OPTION BILL
COMES UP FOR PASSAGE THIS
WEEK IN THE HOUSE.
The Bronson Primary Election Bill,
Loaded with Amendments, VIII Be
Given Another Chance for Life.


Columbus, o., Fab. 24--County op
tion, primary elections and insurance
reform will be the leading subjects
before the house this week. The Rose
county option bill. which passed the
senate by a vote of 23 to Ia, is spe.
cial order for Wednesday afternoon
in the house That 1t will pass Is
confidently claimed by It's supporters,
the only question In their opinion be-
ing as to the size OF the majority,
Sixty-two votes are necessary and the
temperance people. claim that more
than so will be cast for 1t.
That the passage Of the Rose coun.
ty option bill will end the temper.
ance legislation at the present ses.
sion is not altogether certain, al
though the program OF the Anti.Saloon
league does not go beyond the enact.
ment of that measure and the amend.
ment of the Johns bill to prevent the
"pocketing" of saloons In residence
districts In cities. The bill giving
women the right to vote at local option
elections, which was defeated in the
house two years ago. will be re-intro.
duced in the senate.
Il is said that bill to increase the
Akin tax to $4,000 has been drafted
and is In the hands of one of the sen.
ators. f
The Bronson primary election bill,
which was defeated last week for the
lack of three votes to give IL con-
stitutional majority and which was re-
considered. Is special order for
Thursday In the house. The advocates
of the measure expect to have enough
votes to pass II when 1t comes up
again. The bill as 1t has been amend.
ed provides for compulsory direct pri-
maries for the selection of candidates
for county, municipal and township
offices. and for district offices when
the district lies wholly within a coun-
ty. Candidates for all other district
and state offices are to be chosen by
delegate conventions. There is pro-
vision also for the placing of the
names of candidates for United States
senator on legislative tickets and a
registration feature which requires all
persons voting at primaries to make a
declaration of their political affiliation.
If the Bronson bill is finally passed it
will probably be sent to committee
of conference and be considered in
connection with the Huffman primary
bill passed by the senate
The Ia insurance reform bills which
are on the house calendar are not ex-
pected to be the subject of any pro-
tracted debate. The bills, while they
are less drastic than the New York
laws, after which they were modelled,
are regarded by the advocates of In
surance reform generally as adequate.
The Spicer bill to repeal the Long
worth law relating to the printing of
constitutional amendments on the Aus.
tralian ballot is among the other i'm
portant measures on the house calen-
dar and 1t is expected strong fight
will be made against II by the advo-
Gates of the initiative and referendum.

about a year. when by degrees they
begin wearing thinner veils.--London

There is much general activity

encouraging part is that the

sold to investors. Under the
provisions of the Reclamation

must own, live on the land or in
the neighborhood Of it and no
single party can secure water

rid of the land sharks that
