PLAN TO PULL
PAINE LAWS TEETH

Columbus, Feb. 21.-In the hope of
preventing the wiping out of existence
of boards of public safety on August
/, as provided for in the Paine federal
plan law, a bill will be introduced in
the house, probably Monday after
noon, by an upstate member, to amend
the law in question SO that these
boards will continue in Office until next
January, when most of the changes in
the present city form of government
take place. The bill will also seek
to strike out clause in the law max
ing it easy to remove police and fire
department appOintees for trivial and
unwarTanted reasons. The amend
ment will limit the grounds for re-
moval to reasons which are a sufi-
cient cause.
1t is believed that safety board mem
bers who do not relish the idea of
parting company with their jobs on
the first day Of next August are be-
hind the bill, which also has another
purpose and that Is to prevent pres
ent administration from ripping up
the various city departments and fOist-
ing new appointments of their own
making upon their successors. The
bill has been drawn and is ready for
introduction.
Harmon Means Business.
Columbus, Feb. Ex-Governor Har-
mon will send a message to the legis-
lature this week urging some action
looking to the amendment of the taxa
ton laws, and if adjournment is taken
without doing anything it is likely
that he will call a special session.

elected in 1910 will be democratic"
Sounding a word of warning to
President-elect Taft, he continues:
THE President-elect cannot pos
sibly satisfy the expectations of both
elements of the republican party.
With a republican senate and re-
publican house controlled by what
Mr.. Roosevelt calls reactionaries,
how can he escape conflict either
with the republican leaders or with
the republican voters of the Missis-
sippi Valleyf"
In discussing the tendency toward
reform legislation Mr.. Bryan saysi
TIE democratic party is In SYM
pathy with the growing demand for
remedial legislation; 1t is therefore
rowing with the tide, for the tide Is
onward, Democrats. recognizing the
responsibility Of their position, and
strong in the confidence they feel in
the righteousness OF their cause, are
prepared to wage a winning fight
against All opposition already panic
stricken"
Influential democrats declare Mr..
Bryan's article 10 be the most impor-
tant political paper printed since the
election Gf Mr.. Taft last November.
