Relief Thrown Back To Local Communities
Relief funds in Ohio were exhausted as the state relief commission dissolved after lawmakers failed to pass a new bill. Governor Davey blamed lobbyists in the Senate for the crisis and warned counties would face feeding and clothing 270000 people for about ten days. The unresolved conflict centered on a 1937-38 relief bill and reallocation of 15 million dollars.

Ashbolt And Rogers Vote Against State Income Tax Bill
In Columbus on April 15 the Hull State Income Tax Bill cleared the House and moved to the Senate. The measure, designed to raise 15 to 18 million dollars annually, was amended to increase exemptions, likely reducing revenue by over 5 million. The bill includes three percent rates up to 5 000 and steps to nine percent beyond 8 000, with exemptions for families and dependents. It would tax state employees and change intangible tax rules, with individual returns due between Feb 15 and March 1. Rep. Ladis Huml contends the plan targets middle and lower earners and would fund schools and local government.
