Ohio Legislature Divides Wet and Dry Factions in Committees
In Columbus on January 15 Speaker Swain announced house standing committees revealing a one vote wets majority on the liquor traffic panel. Wet favored members include Welsh Chapman Snyder Horwitz Sweeney and Homan while Hunter Barthelmeh Cooper Anderson and Gilson lean dry. The fate of home rule for cities rests largely with the senate Municipal Affairs Committee led by Thomas M. Gregory, with members Greenland Lloyd Hillenkamp Cahill Haas Hudson MecDermott and Moore. The temperance committee, chaired by Greenland, will shape the new license law amid wet dry clashes, and the senate majority also tilts wet. The administration liquor bill, likely drawn from the anti-saloon bill, centers on county licensing officers chosen nonpartisan under a Wisconsin style system, while licensing within local politics is limited. The proposal includes referendum limits on saloon numbers, removable licensing officers for violations, revocation for fraud, hearings for opponents, and residency parking for saloons near churches or schools. A license transfer requires qualification and the constitution’s “good moral character” clause is interpreted to prohibit liquor sales to minors or drunkards and to bar gambling or immoral conduct.
