He urged eliminating loopholes, notably depletion exemptions for oil and mining, and proposed trims to corporate rates above and below $50 000 while preserving revenue.

Plans Made To Drain Lake Logan Dam Work Underway
A V shaped notch will be cut Tuesday in the Lake Logan dam to drain the prematurely filled lake. Jim Wells of the Ohio Department of Conservation reports the notch lies between a drainage valve and a spillway as heavy rains filled the basin faster than the 24 inch valve could drain. The earth dam lacks stone facing and relocated roads. Final plans described as relatively minor were set after a Sunday conference with Wells engineer F O Kugel and Dr C F Rauch of the Izaak Walton League. Equipment moves to the site were under way.
