Columbus o., Jan. "a. - Declaring
that Republican Legislators, who have
demanded repeal of the Warnes
taxation law and amendment OF the
liquor license law so as to make
county license commissioners cleo
tive, were not in line with their par
ty'B policy, Governor Cox not only re-
fused to grant their requests, but
characterized them as exponents Of
the taxation policy of medieval Eu-
rope, 400 years ago.
Governor Cox said that, in the light
Of the effectiveness of the liquor IL
eense Jaw, the demand of the Repub-
licans casts general suspicion that
they are seeking to break down the
machinery which makes law enforce
ment possible"
In commenting upon the Warnes
tax law, the governor, in his state
ment, said the old system of listing
property was most glaring trav-
esty," and points to the fact that,

Safeguarding the !. and r.
Before reporting the substitute
measure for safeguarding the initia-
tive and referendum, the senate conf.
mittee broadened its scope, relative
to punishment of persons who would
seek, by intimidation and force, to
influence others in favor or against a
proposition. Instead of confining the
scope Of punishment to employers,
foremen and superintendents, the
provision is made general to include
any person who seeks to induce by
duress, persons to sign or refrain
from signing petition, or person
to circulate or refraining from circu-
lating such petition.
