The WOODS BILL MEANS
MERELY ANOTHER WHlTEWASH

session on all proposed Investigations
helped to defeat Governor Harris last
fall. On top of that MIR. Erwin, the
Republican floor leader, admitted that
as amended the bill was practically
{he same as the Republican house
passed last session at the suggestion
Of Governor Harris. 1t was well
known at the time that Governor
Harris in a special message urged the
passage OF that bin after q conference
with the panty bosses, and that its
purpose was to thwart the inyestiga-
tion then being made by a committee
OF the senate. ui
1t was also disclosed by the protest
OF Representative Kemple, Of Akron,
that during the discussion of the
Woods bill Oil Inspector william H..
Phipps, Secrd.ary of the Republican
state executive committee ana newly
created field marshal Of the Republic
can party in Ohio was on the floor
of the house directing the fight.
And so the Republican majority OF
the house was lined up by the bosses
for the amended bill just as the Re-
publican majority was lined up last
session in opposition to probes, az
admitted by Mr. Woods.
The whip of the machine bossea
was cracked over the heads Of Re.
publican members of the house for q
bill which originally was intended tc
extend the authority OF the governor
but which was so amended as to take
away what authority the governor
now has to Investigate two state de-
partments and delegate It to com
mittee which must meet the approya
Of the senate.
Being unable to defeat the PERM
cious amendments the Democrats IL
the house voted unler protest foI
the final passage of the bill, be
cause they would have been falsely
accused by the Republicans of belnl
opposed to investigations had they
voted against the monstrosity.

Absolutely Fair"

During the debate in the house
on the b.ll TO give the governor
additional authority 10 investigate
state offices and institutions, Republi-
can members had much to say abont
IL being "a fair measure" and ''just
what the governor asked for" and
being free from paTtisanship," even
as emasoulated by the Phipps amend
ments to take THAT authority away
from the governor and give IL to
two men appointed ''wLth the con-
sent OF the senate"
An this time Field Marshal Phipps
was on the floor of the house direct
ing the fight on the Republican side.
Which shows how absolutely fair
and unbiased and free from partisan
ship was the Republican majority oi
the house.

Partisan Obstruction

How much longer will the people
of Ohio tolerate such malignant par
tisanship as was exhibited by the
Republican majority in both house
and senate of the Ohio legislature
dur.ng the past week Unless they
forget the resolution that Is grow
dng stronger each day they will go
TO the polls in November next year
and wipe out the machine-serving
Republican majority in the legisla-
tar e, as they see now they should
have done last November.
When the Woods bill to create a
state tax commission in lieu OF the
dozen taxing boards composed Of
state officials, was sidetracked in
the house by being sent from the
calendar to the committee on tax
ation for burial, Tire evil sway of the
state Republincan organization over
the majority in the house was once
more demonstrated.
In his message to the. legislature
! Governor Harmcn recommended that
one board be created TO perform the
duties now divided between dog
en- ex-ofiio!o boards. The Woods bill
proposed to do this, but Il also in
cluded some provisions relating t.
public utilities, whfcn overloaded the
ball and endangered its passage, as
pointed out several days ago.
Notwithstanding these additional
provisions, Governor Harmon advised
the Democratic members, TO support

II was feared at one time that the
rate of coal consumption would soon
outgrow the rate of production, and
there was talk of curtailing the use
OF coal in many industries. But the
inventor proceeded to make coal-min-
ing machinery which lessened TIE

TO the washery, and comes out at the
other end TO be dumped on cars. The
cars quickly cross the country to
some river or bay where canal-boats
are waiting. The transference from
the cars to the boats, and from the
boats to the wholesale and retail
dealers coal-yards, is performed an

comes into our homes It is shot
down chutes into the cellar, and not
carried there in buckets and baskets
as of old. ~
And yet for all this simplifying of
labor, this invention of machines to
reduce the dust and ashes, nobody
likes coal, and we all pray for the
time to come when it's use may be
abolished. 1t is not a popular aricle
