The Woods bill to create a state
taxation and public utilities board
passed the house March 2 and was
sent to the senate March 3, where
it met with obstruction from the
very start, its second reading be-
ing cut off by dilatory motion to
adjourn, which carried. This bill
was referred March to the senate
committee on judiciary and there
it met the same fate that befell all
other taxation measures at the
hands of the senate committee on
taxation because the Republican
leaders in the senate were deter
mined that there should be no
taxation legislation.
For blind to excuse their &C.
tion to their party constituents the
Republican senators adopted reso-
luton to refer the whole subject
of taxation to a special committe
for investigation and report at the
session next year, but their reso-
luton was twice rejected by the
house before the day Of final ad.
journment.
The senate still had all of last
Tuesday to pass a taxation bill,
in which the house have concurred,
but it held to it's obstinate course.
There was still time to pass
taxation bill after the governors
message was read. 1t would have
taken no longer to call up and pass
any Of the bills being smothered
in committee than it took to adopt
Senator Clevenger's resolution to
stave off the whole subject until
next session by creating special
committee of three senators to re-
port next October.
All of which goes to show that
Governor Harmon's special message
placed responsibility for failure to
meet existing exigencies where it
properly belongs.
The people will agree with the
governor and should keep these
facts in mind.

Governor Harmon and the
Legislature.

Columbus, Ohio, March 15.-In
his special message before adjourn.

sponsibility for failure to enact
remedial tax legislation during the
extraordinary session where it
properly belongs-on the legisla-
ture itself.
Senator Clevenger's insolent
declaration that the Governor 8
message was meant for political
effect is so absurd as 10 further

the general assembly, especially
of the senate, instead of excusin g
IL. When he said that the mess
age came at the eleventh hour,
was the fault of the Legislature,
especially the senate, and not the
fault of the governor, for it was
not the governors first official
utterance on the subject.
Governor Harmon discussed the
states finances in mis- inaugural
address. He backed that up by
specific accommodation in his mess
age on January 10 in which he
said: ~ am confident that We
are not getting the best results

My, O my, what splendid OPP
portunity Senator Foraker had
last week in his speech in the Ohio
legislative hall, to clean up on
some PEOPLE who have been run.
ming the steam roller over him of
late, and unless the daily papers
reported his say enormously, the
distinguished gentleman took ad-
vantage Of the opportunity. He
was fresh from the passing out of
his distinguished career as a law
maker of this great nation, being
denied the serving of his second
term, and the lash of the powers
that are greater than he, were
still smarting on his sore back, and
with his flannels still on to irri-
tate the lasceration, he came be-
fore the Ohio senate and house of
representatives which had also
turned him down, and he let out
the venom that has rankled in his
manly bosom for 10 these many
years. There he stood a private
citizen owing nobody anything,
not even a pleasant look, and how
he did pour it into them, and the
fellows all listened and cheered.
The former Senator, (the word
"former" coming by the grace of
Taft sad that he is happy to now
be a private citizen and to assist
in making the other fellow walk
straight and to toe the mark, and
to that cause he expects to devote
his time. That for the balance of
his life he expects to devote much
of his time to the assisting in
making presidents in these United
States and to the making of Unit
ed States Senators, and that he
expects to stay in politics and to
rally his friends together and see
to it they have something to say
as to who shall be who in Ohio
politics. Mr.. Foraker says that
he is not candidate for any office,
but he is going to devote his time
in paving the way for his friends
and himself to have say as to
who will be the candidates here
after in Ohio. The senator made
it very plain throughout his talk
that Foraker as u citizen would be
more harmful to the bosses of his
party, than Foraker as Senator.
We welcome the senator into the
mire of Ohio politics. He may
add sulphur TO the fumes.

different boards are made up OF

action"
AS an immediate step toward
working out remedy for this
condition Governor Harmon furth.
er said: 81 recommend single
board of three members to replace
all existing boards which have to
do with taxation who shall give
their entire time to the work now
assigned tn these boards." Among
other reasons given for this
recommendation the governor
stated his belief that Gin this way
the revenues can be materially in
creased under existing laws
This is not all Governor Harmon
said on the subject of taxation in
his direct message to the legisla-
ture. These extracts are quoted to
show that Governor Harmon put
the subject squarely before that
body two months ago. 1t WASH t
politics then but business and all
the politics there has been in it
since that time has been in the
refusal of the Republican legisla.
ture TO heed the practical sug-
gestlon of Democratic governor
at the beginning of his admin
stration.
More thsn all this Governor
Harmon set forth in interviews
published in newspapers at the
time t1at the states revenues
could be increased at least 81 ,000,-
600 per year through proper en-
forcement of existing laws by a
board which would devote all it's
time to such duties.
1t was disclosed during the sem
ate committee investigation of
the state treasury and tie state
auditors office last year that the
present ex.oflicio boards perform
only perfunctory service because
the state officials who compose
them have as much as they can do
to attend to the ordinary duties of
their offices and have not sufficient
idle time to attend properly to the
duties of these various taxation
boards. 1t was disclosed and ad-
mitted by Mr.. Guilbert, state
auditor at time, that most of these
duties devolve upon the state
auditor alone, and the records of
his office in tins important service
had not been properly kept up for
two years.
1t has been openly charged on
the floor of the Legislature that
some corporations, under lax en-
forcement of these laws, pay taxes
on manifest undervaluatIons, and
that at least one corporation paid
taxes on valuation but little
larger than the aggregate of it's
With all the experience and ex-
posure of existing conditions star
ing legislators in the face from the |
beginning of the session, they did
nothing to put into effect the
practical recommendations of Gov
ernor Harmon made two months
ago.
