ing his opposition mainly against the
Initiative and referendum, and is
looked upon as the leader of his
side.
The Initiative and referendum forms
the most important plank in the
platform OF the Ohio progressive con-
stitution league The league is advo-
eating the submission of constitutions
al amendments on petition not to
exceed twelve per cent Of the elect
ors; the submission of desired laws
on not to exceed ten per cent; and
of legislative acts on not to exceed
eight per cent. Further it believes
the initiative and referendum should
be applied to all the political SUBJ
divisions of the state.
The discussion before the united
committees, Tuesday evening, in the
chamber Of commerce auditorium was
on the subject Of home rule in taxa
tion. John u. White, of Chicago, an
authority on the single tax, took the
affirmative side and NJ +. Thrailkill
