SLEEPER GIVES HARMON TAX MACHINE GRIP
Columbus March 3 Many members of the legislature do not favor provisions in the Edwards taxation bill as rewritten by the state taxation commission. The bill allows a governor to build a political machine when his party holds two tax commissioners. Some Democrats privately defend the aim as power in the state. The proposed change shifts from county boards to a deputy tax commissioner in each county, appointed by the state tax commission, with a possible elective county tax commissioner opposed by some lawmakers. Capital punishment abolitionists lost ground as the Kennedy bill failed 38 to 54, proposing mercy limits and life imprisonment otherwise. Ratliff’s abolition amendment failed 37 to 53, ending the original measure. The piece notes continued debate on party nomination procedures.
