TAX AMENDMENT IS TO BE RESUBMITTED TO VOTERS OF OHIO

COLUMBUS, O., March 12. The special joint taxation committee of the legislature voted tonight to resubmit the classification taxation amendments to the voters at the primary election to be held August 12 as part of the general taxation program. The committee announced that it has not abandoned the proposition of introducing the emergency relief measure for municipalities and school districts which It already has drafted. It also announced that the taxation program will not be submitted Vo Governor Cox for his approval until It has been completed by th- committee and can be submitted as a whole. Compromise Made. The tentative draft of the classification amendment, as approved by the committee tonight, follows: "All property shall be taxed by such rules and methods and in such classes as may be provided by law. The rule and methods shall be uniform within the classes to be established." The amendment also will provide for exemptions as now are provided by the constitution. No new exemptions are contemplated. Senator Frank C. Parrett, chairman, and Representative Francis M. Thompson,, secretary of the Joint taxation committee, conferred with the governor today relative to the temporary relief bill which is proposed as an emergency measure in order to allow cities and other taxing districts to wipe out deficiencies. While the governor did not disapprove the temporary relief measure, he did not favor the method of procedure and has suggested that some permanent measure to prevent future deficiencies be provided before the relief measure is adopted. Resubmission of the classification amendment at a special election was vigorously opposed at a meeting of various agricultural interests here today.

Week Closes Second Period of Semester This week ends the second period in the second semester of the high school. Pupils will receive their grades for this period Wednesday of next week. The Seniors will only be given one week at the end of this semester instead of two. It has been customary to give the Seniors an extra week at the end of their last year. Owing to the fact that a nine month rear is in operation rather than a nine and onehalf month year, it has been necessary to change. If Seniors are carrying work other than senior work or are not. making an average grade in their work they will not be granted this vacation.

Strong Sermon Given At Whitewater Church "Why has church attendance decreased so in the last two years?" . "I'll tell you why," said the Rev. Mr. Kitrell in his Bermon at Whitewater church last evening. "It is because this nation and every other so-called civilized nation in the world has lost its way. God's way. That's why." Mr. Kitrell preached a sermon to personal workers, telling them to "Get up and get." "The fellow that really has religion is going to have a mighty hard time to pack it around in cold storage," he said. "If the church should stop the salary of ministers, I wonder how many
