Motorists Reject Measure to Legalize Com­ mercialized Courts In State — Great Victory Greene County kept pace with most of the other rural coun­ ties in the state and returned a majority of nearly 700 against the justice*of peace fee bill that was up on a referendum .vote, Only eighteen counties out of the 88 ip the state gave the bill a majority “yes” vote. The other 70 counties returned major­ ities than ran the total majority for the, state up to 459,604. The result was a great shock to the supporters of the bill Who,had the utmost confidence in the voters of Ohio returning a favorable majority for the measure. The .Ohio- Anti Saloon League threw its entire force in the campaign for the measure but the united effort of the motorists lead by the State -Auto- mobile Association and the various bounty clubs along with uie . support of the allied auto trades organizations, proved a combi­ nation of strength that could not be checked when put in force. . In opposing the.measure the organized, auto club members nuni- bered 164,000 members. To this must be added 75 per cent of . the owners of automobiles. At least 12^000 garages, oil stations, auto sales agencies, accessory stores-and allied trades headquar . Lers for the auto trade-proved recruiting stations ,to~kill a meas­ ure that was designed to make the motorist the goaf for the- commercialized justice-of peace courts that had been put out 6 f business by a recent decision of the United States Supreme court. ’The approval of this hili would ftitve .caused a reign of terror for motorists - A i All efforts of.thq Anti Saloon League to make a wet and, dry fight out of the contest failed* Scores of the driest rural coun­ ties in the state returned majorities against the measure. The motorists could not be blinded-by such claims and resented the League’s charges tha t it was a ^ t - d r y fight. The bill had beer forced through the legisjature/ky a $L'f% : blub' was Held over the head of bach member, that woufd not vote for its passage. * < . > ■*. - SENATOR’S NEIGHBORS COULD NOT SEE IT . k Senator L. T. Marshall was given the bill to introduce and it carried his name.- How home folks lookedjon the measure is best shown in that the Senator’s own precinct gave the bill a big “no” majority. His ward did the same and Xenia city a majority of more than 500. His dounty by nearly 700. “Yes” one county •|n his Senatorial District. “Yes” ,in two counties in the’Seventh Congressional district. For the state only 18 counties approved the measure. The bill suffered about the worst defeat of any measure yet submitted the voters of Ohio under the referen­ dum, . ., ' , As the legislature is expected to be, called into session sooh after the first of the year, the public awaits t’o See if Governor. Donahey in view of the verdict rendered Tuesday will attempt to include a repassage of such a bill in his call. Members of the legislature who have political aspirations; may go slow in taking a course such as the votors have just rejected. The result Tuesday will hot have been forgotten by the tithe Members of the Legislature meet again. The motorists fexpect no tnore^such bills and the wise legislator will from now on consult with his constituents, rather than take orders from a lobby such as was done when the justice bill was passed last spring. WHATITWASALLABOUTAND THE WHYOFTHEJUSTICEFEEMEASURE What it was all about—that is the much discussed justice bill. What brought it about? Few people really know the legis­ lative history of the justice bill. Senator George H. Bender, for years directly connected with the Anti Saloon League, introduced a bill for the protec­ tion of the motorists who were being made victims of sham charges in commercialized courts. Senator Bender’s bill would have restricted justices of peace to operating in connection with their constables to their own townships, and not at .large over the county where they resided. There being a Host of such courts scattered over-the state almost over night the justices began to bombard the bill. Most of these justices at once set up the claim tojprotect them in col­ lecting fees from motorists; that Senator.Benders bill was a stroke at prohibition enforcement, The Anti Saloon League to keep friendly with the Commercialized courts that might be heeded in liquor Cases, joined in the protest. From that time on the wet and dry issue was involved, yet the original bill was from 3 prominent churchman and member of the League staff in Cleveland. Bender broke with the League, The League was supported by the “third House”, or the utility lobby, which had no use for Bender, as he refused to west the. utility collar in the previous session. The famous Tunney case was argued in Washington before the U; S. Supreme Court. Word reached Columbus that all in­ dications pointed to the court taking an adverse position as the members of the court were critical about the fee system in Ohio. Several bills went into the legislative hopper. Meantime the lobby would not let the Bender bill come to the surface. The Supreme Court decision followed $nd from that time on has continued the debate with the interests of the motorists involved in a purposely planned sham wet-dry fight that the commercialized court might be fastened oh the state with sev­ eral thousand constables, deputies, and others who would have had court costs guaranteed from the various county treasuries in the state. <• v <1 It is certain following the decisive decision Tuesday that no attempt will be made soon to restore such Courts without " ‘ ....................................... ‘ protection for the motorists of Ohio, part of the legislature would only bri: dum such as we have just experienced. w , Any other action on the ng about anotherTefereh-, r i ^ M * i 1 * m%r ’4 *\ ’ 1 J ■ y. s - , IN •' 1’ * ■ -v' P 4 ' > N
