Ohio Republicans seek big majority to shape 1911 politics
Ohio Republicans warn against overconfidence as they push for a solid House majority to influence the 1910 election outcome. They emphasize the Legislature will choose a U S Senator to replace Foraker and redraw districts for ten years, arguing a Democratic gain would weaken McKinley era policies and Roosevelt's agenda. They defend taxation efforts of the past decade, rebut Tom Johnson's plans, and vow to revise tax laws to ensure equal burdens.

Kilbourne Tax Theory Used to Critique Railroad Valuations
The Ohio State Journal challenges Tom Johnson's rail tax theory by comparing Kilbourne & Jacobs Manufacturing in Columbus. It shows the firm’s real estate and adjusted personal property totals, and calculates market stock values to argue that railroads pay higher proportional taxes than Kilbourne & Jacobs under Johnson's 60 percent rule. It urges Kilbourne to address the issue in Bucyrus and calls for equal treatment of all corporations under the constitution.
