TAXATION Will HOLD
ATTENTION OF OHIO
LEGISLATORS SOON
tBy Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 2s.-Taxa-
ton and departmental reorganization
promise, to be the principal subjects
OF legislation during the session of
the Ohio general assembly which con-
venes Jan. 3.
The ground work for both these sub
jects has been extensively prepared
and they probably will be taken up
Immediately by the legislators as
soon as they get organized for the sea-
son. Both were given considerable at
tention during the last session, the
taxation subject having been consid-
cred at a special session, and the
proposition Of recognizing state de-
special committee with the aid of
experts, on which a number of re-
ports embodying recommendations
have been made.
May Suspend Present Law
Chambers of commerce, the state
grange, farm bureau organizations and
many other civic bodies have agreed
upon two kindred taxation measures
designed to relieve the present finan-
cial situation in cities as well as rural
taxing districts. They contemplate a
temporary suspension of the limita-
tons of one percent tax law, whereby
levies may be made to wipe out pres
ent Indebtedness and placing a limit
on future Indebtedness.
Under the present limitations of the
one percent law practically every city
in the state, and many rural districts,
have been forced to resort to bond is
sues to defray running expenses, with
the result that interest and sinking
fund charges now absorb most of the
revenue that should go for current
operation, necessitating additional
bond issues each year.
The present tax laws, while limiting
the tax levies, do not limit the amount
of indebtedness, hence the resort in
the past to bond issues. 1t is this
condition which the proposed tax laws
will seek to remedy.
Dry Forces Active
Dry forces also are backing legisla-
ton that would set up prohibition en-
. forcement machinery in the state.
The Crabbe enforcement act, approved
by referendum at the November cleo
r ton. while it provides penalties, etc.
does not provide the machinery for
enforcing its provisions. AS both
I branches of the legislature are over
whelmingly dry, it is expected such a
law, creating a prohibition enforce
ment officer with a number of assist
ing deputies, will be enacted.
