Single-House Legislature Is League's Goal
Columbus headed by U S Senator Vic Donahey as honorary president, the Ohio Single-House Legislature League plans a constitutional amendment to replace the Senate and House with a single House. The tentative plan calls for a House not over 100 members elected by districts proportional to population, about 66 000 per seat, to be submitted to voters next fall. If the Legislature blocks it, petitions will push a ballot measure likely in 1938.

Parties Split Over New Tax and Session Dates
In Columbus the Legislature split into two factions over April adjournment with House Republicans backing the Senate plan to adjourn April 15 while House Democrats resisted. A gasoline tax hike from three to four cents per gallon was opposed by Republicans though a Roads measure would raise about 10 million dollars annually for new construction. The Senate passed a bill limiting magistrates’ criminal jurisdiction to their home township by 22 to 3, and the House approved a 40 percent reduction in farm truck license fees. The House and Republicans likewise backed expanding the Shway Patrol from 120 to 150, boosting patrol staffing and duties as the Senate considered. The act would raise the patrol rank and expand jurisdiction, with reports to patrol officials included.
