IN THE LEGISLATURE

and senate held only brief sessions
Friday, adjourning to witness the pa
rade of the returning troops of the
37th division.
Leaders of both branches of the as
al RI
until Monday, May 8. when they will
return to complete the work of the
session.
The Parrett fish and game bill. codi-
flying all the fish and game laws of
the state, was before the senate to-
day for concurrence in many amend
ments injected by the house yester-
day Commercial fishermen and Ohio
sportsmen we're displeased with the
house amendments and hope to have
them stricken out by having the SEN
ate refuse to concur in the amend
| ments sending the bill to committee
of conference.
! Not Aware of Opposition.
Republican members of the taxation
committee and other Republican mem
. bers of the assembly said today they
were not aware of opposition to an in
come tax law on the part OF Republ1-
| can organization leaders as charged
| by Governor Cox in his speech yester-
day before the Democratic organiZa-
/ ton conference.
Senator Parrett, Republican chair
man of the joint taxation committee,
said he did not believe an income tax
| law should be enacted until after the
classification had been voted upon.
Both branches Of the assembly &C
cepted the report of the joint confer.
ence committee, fixing the date OF
| holding special elections in local tax
ing districts to vote deficiency bond
issues as June 10, instead of May %.
The emergency relief bill for cities
| and school districts was thus complet-
ed and will be sent to the governor for
his approval as soon as it can be en-
crossed and signed by the president
of the senate and speaker of the
| house.
Apparently to meet minority at
tacks upon the original weasel
words" Of their English language bills,
the Republican majority has retaliated
by reopening the attack on Secretary
of War Newton D. Baker. From the
German propaganda committee in new
form appeared the joint resolution by
Representative Clyde H. Hooley OF
| Champaign.
Prospect of Special Session.
1t seeks to convey severe disap
proval" to Baker for his treatment OF
conscientious DIRECTORS" The report
was carried about in pockets of mem
bers for many days, and placed before
the house of representatives only yes
terday. 1t is expected that it will be
adopted although the majority mem
bers are not enthusiastic about it.
The prospect of an immediate spe
cial session appeared stronger after
members learned of the derunciatior
by Governor Cox of the failure to ac
on the income tax. Weak support Civ
en- to the emergency deficiency taxa
ton bill indicates that it cannot hurdle
!, the governors veto, and that some
other plan must be attempted.
For Consideration Tuesday.
The Crabbe bill is on the senate
calendar for consideration Tuesday
but if reports current today are to be
credited another postponement will BIZ
requested by the prohibition leaders il
order to extend the time until after
the members return from their twelve
day recess. The Miller substitute en-
, forcement machinery bill, transferring
the appointing power from the cover
nor to the encouragement, also is OF
the senate calendar for early consid
: GRAFTON, but it, too. may be postponed
until after the recess, as it carries al
emergency clause.
When questioned today concerning
the reports James A. White. Superin
tendent of the Ohio Anti-Salool
League, evasively replied: Il do no
think So"
PLANTS ARE CLOSED.
