1910, and it has been interpreted as
invalidating the above sections.
Therefore improvements made under
the sections have been questioned as
to their legality.
II. b. 522-Smith of Butler-This is
a bill which creates three socalled
model forms of municipal govern
ment, either of which any municipal
ity may select for itself by referen-
dunn vote. The three forms so pro-
vided are, the modified federal form,
the commission form, and the general
manager form. All city officers elect
ed under any of them must be elected
on non-partisan ballots.
S. B. 95-Jung of Hamilton-The
small school board bill. Provides
that all cities of over 100000 must

present plan.

sundry appropriation bill. This car
ries an appropriation of million dol
lars for various special purposes. One

day bill affecting women's employ
ment. Its only feature, however, is

H. B. 472-King of Ashtabula-Th
"cures" the defect found by the SUI
preme court in the vital statistics law.
The court held that the old law pro-
posed to compel physicians to report
information concerning births and
thus sought to compel service with
out compensation in contravention of
the ordinance of 1887. The new law
circumvents this by paying for the
postage used by the physicians and
compelling them to report only such
information as happens to be in their
possession. Local registrars are ex-
pected to secure information which re-
quires extra work or attention.
H. B. 159-Cooper of Mahoning
county-The new white slave law. 1t
makes all of the provisions of the

years for persons convicted of traffick-
ing immorally in women or girls. A
fine of $1,000 is added to the prison
sentence.
