His RaOOr6

His Record
The News, Port Huron, Michigan,
in declaring for Gov. Harmon. of
Ohio, for president points to a long
list of what it says are practical
reforms the Buckeye executive has
instituted and then issues a challenge
to others to produce another Demo-
crat of presidential timber who has as
good list to his credit.
The following reforms were enum-
Grated by The News as showing
"whHre Harmon stands on political
issues"
1st. He stands for the criminal
prosecution of guilty trust magnates
under the criminal provision of the
Sherman antitrust law.
He is the only official who dared to
start proceedings to Jail the officials
of an offending corporation. He was
stopped by Pres. Roosevelt.
End. Personally conducted and won
the first government antitrust case.
The law had slept for six years.
Harmon as Attorney General pros
ecuted the Addyson Pipe case and
the Trans-Missouri Traffic Associa-
ton case; secured a sweeping decision
in the U. S. Supreme Court,
Sd. Harmon stands for the direct
election of U. S. Senators by the
people.
4th Harmon stands for the income
tax amendment to the federal con-
stitution. Ohio passed his resolution
to that effect.
5th Harmon stands for equal taxa
tiOn. His tax commission added S487,-
600, 900 to the assessed valuation of
the Ohio railroads. One and one half
| million to the assessed valuation of
corporation owned property in Ohio.
This conservative governor has in
creased railroads and corporation
values nearly a billion dollars, an
aggregate increase of 255 per cent,
and has reduced the taxes of farmers
and home owners more than $1,000
600 year.
9th. Harmon stands for economy
in governmental expenditures, and he
has Topped off nearly 100000 of the
annual tax burden of the people.
7th. Harmon has urged and secured
the enactment of the following laws:
(a) A law providing for the non
partisan election of the Judiciary in
Ohio.
(b) The non PARTISAN election Of
delegates to the constitutional con-
Vention.
(c) A public utilities commission
with authority to regulate issues
of stocks and bonds, rates and services.
(d) A workingmans compensation
act to be paid out of fund of which
the employer provides 80 per cent and
the employee 10 per cent.
{e) A law for central board of
control of all state institutions.
This law was advocated by Gov.
Osborn, of Michigan, but failed of
passage.
(0 A law providing civil service
for employees of state institutions.
(g) A law granting initiative and
referendum to municipalities.
(h) A corrupt prabtices act''
modelled on English statutes, and
fixing the maximum amount of money
to be spent by candidate.
G) A law providing a nine hour
day for employed women.
ID A reform of Ohio election laws
to prevent corruption and fraud.
(k) Gov. Harmon advocated but
failed to have enacted:
(a) Direct primary for every
Office in the state, county and city.
(b) Theremoval of party emblems
in municipal elections.
The above record is one that Gov.
Harmon need not be ashamed of, nor
afraid to go before the people upon.
He is man that is progressively con-
sentative, and a safe man to be in
charge of the peoples interests.

The scene in this city reminded old

floods were more frequent than they

people of this state voted for that
which stood for progress at the
last election, and it is fitting that
the amendment of the present ar
birary contempt law which the
people have throughout the state
denounced, should be the first
consideration cf the legislature.
On Tuesday afternoon Senator
Landon introduced the amend
ment in the upper house immedi-
ately after the reading of the
governors message. 1t was the
first bill introduced in the senate
following the one at the opening
of the session providing for the
appropriation for legislative eX-
penses.
Yesterday in the house, Victor
Zednick introduced the same bill.
1t is known as house bill No. l..
