Home Rule Taxes A Blow At Trusts In Ohio
Ohio legislature opens in biennial session with Gov Nash reading his annual message advocating a new tax plan. It would tax state purposes from corporations and franchises while keeping direct county taxes to counties, and call for stricter corporate reporting to safeguard public credit. The governor urged reform to curb corporate abuse, noting many chartered firms operate with little capital paid in. He proposed mandatory capital stock payment, public filings, and regular examinations by state officials. He also touched on labor and a St Louis Exposition invitation.

Kerens Turned Down in Missouri Appointments
Washington on Jan 6 President Roosevelt notified Representative Bartholdt of Missouri that he declined to appoint Ben Weethia as internal revenue collector for the eastern district of Missouri to replace resigned H C Grenner.
