Guest Editorial From
Akron Beacon JOurnal)

Speaker of the House Roger Cloud
comes from a small toWn-Degraff- but
he has known for a long time that most
of the big cities are pinched for operating
funds. Furthermore, he has long been aware
of the cities complaint that state subsidies
always give them back less money than
they pay in.
$50, two years ago Cloud asked one
of the more competent legislator lawyers,
Rep. Edmund James of Noble county, to
begin a study of the cities problem with
view of proposing legislation to help
then-especially to help the cities help
themselves.
"The results of James research were
presented to the House on Tuesday of this
week. James program to help the cities con-
sisted of four bills, and the Noble County
Republican did an excellent job of explain
ing them. But Minority Leader James Nc
Gettrick of Cleveland responded with jokes,
and other city legislators, with too few
exceptions, failed to see merit in the bills.
"TWo of the bills were passed. One of
these would enlarge the County Budget
Commission to five members, giving cities
representation on that body along with the
County Auditor chairman of the County
Commissioners and Prosecuting Attorney.
The second bill would revise the formula
for distributing local government fund
money among the subdivisions within the
county, the aim being to increase cities
share of this money.

The Right lO Know

The taxpayers of Caldwell have a right
to know what goes on at any meeting held
by a group of elected officials, whose
primary duty must first, last and always,
be in the interest of the people who put
them there.
Whether a diesel engine is purchased
for the Caldwell light plant from the sale
of revenue bonds or otherwise, public
official or a representative of the company
so anxious to sell this engine cannot make
a statement that it won't cost the taxpayers
a dime.
Indirectly, but most often directly what
ever the village does in the way of spending
money affects the taxpayer
It was strictly to eliminate these SO
called CLOSED meetings" that the Ohio
General Assembly adopted an open meet
ing" law applying to state agencies, county,
township, municipal and school district
public bodies.
This law specifics only one exception
in that it does not apply to the pardon and
parole commission when its hearings are
conducted at panel institution for the sole
purpose of interviewing inmates to deter

Competent Legislator

"The other two bills, both designed to
enable the cities to help themselves, were
defeated. One would have authorized cities
to enact an automobile tax of up to S. per
year and the other would have permitted
enactment of utility consumers tax of not
more than 3 per cent.
at should be understood that both of
these bills were permissive, not mandatory.
A city which didn't need more money could
have ignored the authorization to put new
tax to vote. And both proposed new taxes
would have required vote of the people.
''The city of Youngstown, by the way,
at one time collected a utility consumers
tax. The Supreme Court threw it out, on
the ground that the state had preempted
the field, but the courts opinion said the
Legislature had the power to authorize such
a tax at the city level Youngstown couldn't
wait 1t was forced to adopt payroll-income
tax
"Of course, James bills carried no
guarantee that voters in any city would
approve an automobile tax or a utility tax.
Nevertheless, the cities for years have been
demanding that the Legislature broaden
their authority to levy local taxes. The
James bills were a move to comply with that
demand.
Reps. Ed Rowe, Ray Sours and Thomas
l.. Thomas of Summit County were among
the city legislators who evidently didn't
realize that the Speaker of the House and
a hard-working rural lawmaker were only
trying to do the metropolitan centers a
favor"
