oEPLoREs ATTEMPT TO SADDLE
ADDITIONAL BURDENS ON
TAXPAYERS.

Graham P. Hunt, of Cincinnati,
comes out with a straightforward
shoulder statement to the effect that
the grossest Misrepresentation have
been made to voters and tax-pay-
ers of Ohio, regarding the Home Rule
Amendment.
In their attempt" said he, "to sad
die upon the taxpayers of the state,
an additional burden as a result of the
utter destruction of vast taxable re-
sources of revenue to the state, the
grossest Misrepresentation were Off
cially made last year by paid agita-
tors regarding the Home Rule Amend
ment.
The voters and taxpayers of the
state of Ohio are entitled to the truth
on any question, no matter which side
they may be on, and it is high time
now, that the voters of Ohio be re-
minded Of these gross untruths of last
year and be on their guard against
their repetition this year
Misleading and contradictory state
ments not only do an injustice to the
voters and taxpayers, but to the state
itself
Before the 1914 election, these
same paid individuals" says Mr.. Hunt,
had large posters pasted up all over
the state reading as follows:
Home Rule as demanded by Brew
ers' Initiated Amendment to the Con-
Btitution, means Rum Rule and Home
Ruin. 1t will repeal the County OPP
tion Law, the Sunday selling, the law
against the sale to minors. 1t will pre-
vent the enactment Of future state
prohibitory laws, and makes wet ter
ritory Of all townships with no munich
palities in them
This, and similar, statements were
published in the press at large, pro-
claiEed from the public platforms and
sent out in letters and hand-bills to
every voter in the state.
Mind you, that was before the 1914
election, at which election the people
Of Ohio decided by substantial ma
jority that they wanted the Home Rule
Amendment.
Nov, after that election, these same
people came out in an official petition
in the case of Hockett VS. The State
Liquor Licensing Board, in Home Rule
Amendment Case No. 6S805, filed in
Common Pleas Court of Franklin
County by the Anti-Saloon League, No

SENTATIONS OF HOME RULE AMEND

regulating and controlling of the liquor
traffic in the State, and the results of
the Home Rule Amendment have been
satisfactory in every way.
1T places the matter in the hands
of the local authorities and is closer
to the public demands.
Law observance Is always best
when local public sentiment is behind
it.
THE enforcement of law by local
authorities is always more thorough
and effective.
Again, the Home Rule Amendment
is more democratic. 1t is Just and
equitable. Each community decides
exactly what it wants and what it does
not want.
"Other people who do not pay taxes
in and do not have the right to vote In
that particular township or municipal
ity ought to have no voice in what the
people Of that particular community
should or should not have, or should
or should not do.
AOCA LhC L1OLlC Ilulc
the community can abolish the gale of
liquor, II it wants to, without interfer-
ence on the part of outsiders. 1t
makes things just as the people in that
particular community want things to
be. Whatever they sAy will be in ac-
cord with their own home public SEN
timent
Then again, it makes way for each
community to regulate its own affairs
without interfering. in the least with
the rights or liberties or privileges of
other communities.
These same paid agitators who
were responsible for the misrep-
reservations of last year have Pc
titiOned again this year for vote on
the question and it has been stated
publicly and officially that they will
keep this up until their opponents
have bankrupted themselves and are
worn down and worn out
This means continual agitation and
unrest 1t means defiance of the
majority rule. 1t means a continual
disturbance of business; continual
destructive rather than constructive
policy.
THE people of Ohio have had too
much Of this thing. They set
tied the question last year. Ohio
is too great state; its resources,
natural and otherwise, are too extern.
sive and her business and agricultural
interests too important to be cont1nu-
ally upset and interfered with by this
constant agitation.
What we want is to get right down
to do business and let we'll enough
alone. We need more business and
less agitation
THE Home Rule Amendment is
working fine and should be given q
fair, square trial before any attempt
is made to substitute anything for it."

vember, 1914. This case was decided
adversely to the petitioner in every
court, including the Supreme Court oi
Ohio and the United States Supreme
Court itself, the latter decision being
in February, 1915. The petitioner made
statements directly opposite to the pre-.
dictions made in the poster, proclaim
ed from the platform and in other
ways, The petition reads as follows and
speaks for itself as a complete contra
diction of their statement before the
election:
Nor does said Home Rule Amend
ment, so called, by it's adoption above,
impair, repeal or nullify within said
Logan county, or within said other
forty-four counties, or either o. them,
any provision of said County Local Op-
tion Law, or any other Law under the
provisions of which said counties or
any subdivisions thereof have hereto
fore prohibited the sale, ful nishing or
giving away of Intoxicating liquors as
a beverage
Nov, mind you, these two official
statements were from the same official
sources and, as l have just said, con-
Trajectory to each other.
mot one single consequence proph-
esied by these people has come to pass
under the Home Rule Amendment.
The local option laws, residence dis
trict, municipal and township, con-
tinue in undisturbed operation as
evidenced by the elections held since
the adoption of the Home Rule Amend
ment.
Then, again, there was another
gross Misrepresentation of facts
ITO bolster up their arguments to
the voter, these very same people
even went to the extreme of actually
changing the language and the pune
tuation of the Home Rule Amendment.
"The changed amendment was hand
ed for expert opinion to good lawyers
who in good faith, as a result of said
changes, gave opinions contrary to the
intent and spirit Of the Amendment y
The agitators even went 30 far IS
to try to make the voters believe that
saloons would be established in many
townships with no municipalities in
them, regardless of the wishes of vot-
ers in such township. This charge
was completely disproVen by the fact
that no such thing has been done un-
der the Home Rule Amendment.
"As l have just said, the voters of
Ohio decided in November, 1914, that
the Home Rule Amendment was the
best possible legislation by the Com
