Tobacco Tax Debate in Ohio Hearings downtown
Spokesmen for tobacco interests warned in Columbus hearings that a tax on tobacco and cigars would ruin retailers trigger bootlegging and wipe out the state tobacco growing industry. Proponents argued the levy is needed to fund schools and prevent cuts to teacher salaries and school operations. The hearings were held at different times. Tobacco dealers opposed a one cent per ten cigarets tax and a 20 percent retail tax on manufactured tobacco products citing overtaxation.

Redistricting Defeated in Ohio Assembly Amid Bill Clash
In Cleveland Ohio May 27 an effort to tack a redistricting bill to the election code failed in the state House after earlier refusals in both chambers. Senator Joseph N Ackerman proposed creating 23 congressional districts with four in Cuyahoga county but no changes elsewhere. The plan would elect one congressman from Cuyahoga and one at large, though the amendment was ruled out of order. The election code passed 28 to 0 as an emergency measure. The Senate passed a Whittemore bill cutting fees for Ohio company incorporations, keeping current fees for small firms but reducing large-issue fees to align with other states. A second chain store tax bill was introduced by Senator Walter G Nickels modeled after Indiana law, with license fees from 3 3 per store to 25 annually per group of 21 stores or more, projected to raise about 1 5 million dollars for schools. The Roche bill sought 180 000 to finish land purchases on the site.
