PRICE, ft$L50 A YEAR HOWMANY MEMBERS WILL SIGN PLEDGE? There are Indication* that the Ohio legislature will be called into action some time in January to correct son** bills relative to the Dodds and Vary’# laws which have disrupted busbies* in about 44 counties in Ohio, The legislature is under the direct control of Cincinnati politician*, Robt A, Taft as House leader and Joseph R, Gardner, president protein of the senate. Taft is attorney for big util­ ity interests and Gardner a product of the Hynicka political machine in Hamilton county. - The utility interest* are taking no chances on members coming back and passing any. bills restoring to the public s.tolen rights. The Ohio Pub­ lic Utility Commission has: some, bad charges at its door from close, as­ sociation of members with utility in­ terests to booze parties, The utility interests are not interested in moral# . but higher rates and the legislative leaders are going to see that the pres­ ent condition is not .disturbed. Members of the legislature must sign a pledge that i f called back it must be only for a day, and every mail must do exactly what the lobby ele-' ment and politicians dictate and noth­ ing. else. Member* are mot to have an open mind or even thought of the constituents back, home. A questionaire has been mailed to each member and four questions are to be answered. If enough of the mem bers answer the‘ questions favorably, and at the same time brand themsel­ ves as bumbbells, to be tools "of the corrupt interests, the legislature will be called into action. If any number of the members refuse to bind themsel­ ves to such a plan, there will be no session of the legislature called. The plight, of many school districts, cities, county insTihueions mean nothing to the utility interests. The legislature on a return must, eat a portion of crow cooked for itself when it passed many hills over the Governor's veto. Every word that Gov. Donahey said ha* 6ome true and the legislative leader*, realize it but Here are the four- questions that each member'must answer: Are yott in favor o f a .one-day ses­ sion, as outlined in the accompanying letter? Are you in favor of confining the matters to be considered at this ses­ sion to the financial relief of coun­ ties?. * Are-you willing to bind yourself not to permit consideration of any other bills? . . iWill you attend a session about the middle of January. Another reason why the legislative leaders want to restrict the members . to one subject is the subject of the state being forced to pay $2 600,000 for a site for the new state office build ing when the state owns a. site direct­ ly- across the street that is available. , Columbus politicians are profiting in this hold-up and legislative leaders have the nerve to want to bind its members to one subject rather than suffer exposure. It will not be many days until, the public will hear whether the legisla­ ture has a majority of men with clear conscience and red blood in their necks or whether they are but mere tools in the hands of designing politician# who live and thrive ns barnacles.
