GOVERNOR DAVEY WANTS SALES
TAX ON FOOD REMOVED

"The people of Ohio will have a
voice in removing the 80 sales tax
on food consumed in the home
Governor Martin L. Davey said re-
Gently as he placed in circulation
100000 petitions to be signed by
Ohioans favoring the constitutional
amendment definitely prohibiting
the food-consumed-in-home tax.
"Help Governor Davey remove the
sales tax on food" has been adopted
as the slogan for the popular cru
sade which will be conducted in the
88 counties of the state. 1t will be
necessary to obtain approximately
100000 signatures, representing 10
percent of the vote in the last gen.
eral election, but Governor Davey's
aides have received enthusiastic sup
port from every section of the state.
In announcing circulation of the con-
forever prohibit a sales tax on food
consumed in the home, Governor
Davey intimated that it was con-
servatively estimated that a million
or more signatures would come pill
ing in. ''I submitted plan to the
legislature for removing the sales
tax on food consumed in the home,
but procrastination of the general
assembly has made it necessary to
carry the issue directly to the vot-
ers'' the governor declared. Gov
ernor Davey heads the list on the
committee to represent the petition
ers in charge of circulating the ini-
tiative petition. Others on the COM
mittee include Mrs. Myrna Smith,
Kent, secretary to the governor;
Miss T. Gertrude Fortune, Cleve-
land, assistant secretary to the gov
ernor; Charles S. Leasure, Zanes-
vile, executive clerk in the gov
ernor's office; John Caren, executive
secretary of the governor.
kilograms, letters and phone calls
from all parts of the state have ap-
proved the effort to repeal the food
consumed-in-hOme tax. The signed
petitions will be filed with the sec
retary of state not later than Aug 5, !!
but the committee in charge of the |
circulation has announced that all |
petitions must be signed and re-
turned to the governor not later |
than Aug. 1. The proposed amend
ment would provide that ION and
after Nov. IL, 1886, no excise tax
shall be levied or collected upon the |
sale or purchase of food for human
off the premises where |
sold.'
NJ B.: Petitions are to be found |
in practically every grocery in the
twin cities. If you approve of re-
moving sales tax on food, don't fail
