Home Rule Amendment Delayed Until 1933 Vote
Columbus Aug 11. The County Home Rule Association Executive Committee postponed submission of its proposed constitutional amendment to November 1933 after failing to reach the 196,000 signature goal. 178,427 signatures were collected with sufficient returns from eight counties meeting the five percent threshold in more than half the counties. Chairman Charles P. Taft II said the delay allows a stronger, non presidential year campaign and notes current conditions favor future tax relief. Secretary of State Clarence J. Brown stated petitions filed now would be valid for 1993 if the needed signatures from more than half the counties are reached based on 1930 electors.
