Mr. Richards is an ardent Republican and has taken an active part in politics since leaving college. He has been a member of Ward, City, District and State Committees engaged in the active organization and conduct of campaigns. He has been a delegate to City, County, District, State and National Conventions. He has spoken for the Republican party throughout Ohio and in other states. On becoming State Senator, he made a study of taxation in Ohio, with special reference to constitutional limitations. : The accepted opinion was then that, under the Constitution'of Ohio, as it stood, nothing but property could be taxed for general revenue. Accordingly when several unsuccessful attempts, at great expense, has been made to amend the Constitution and enlarge the taxing power, he took the position thaf no amendment was required, that rights, privileges, franchises and occupations could be taxed under the Constitution as it stood. These views have since been embodied in our tax laws, which have added largely to the revenues of the State and have been sustained by the highest courts. Among these are the laws levying taxes upon foreign corporations, upon telegraph, telephone and express companies, upon railroad, street railway, electric light, gas, water, pipe line and similar corporations, upon sleeping car companies, upon freight line and equipment companies, in fact practically upon all corporations, foreign and domestic, of a quasi public nature, enjoying peculiar franchises. :

In addition to drafting and sustaining these laws, Mr. Richards drafted the present election laws of Ohio, a modification of the Australian ballot system and sustained them in the courts. He drew the present law relating to the practice of medicine in Ohio, and as the - counsel of the State Medical Board maintained its validity in the courts.

He sustained the constitutionality of the Compulsory Education law of Ohio in the Supreme Court, and subsequently redrafted the law, putting it inits present form. As Solicitor General, he is the representative of the Government before the Supreme Court of the United States and has argued the more important cases which have been submitted to that court during the present administration. In doing this, he has had to meet the leaders of the bar from every section of the country, but has been no less fortunate in the results, than he was as Attorney General of Ohio.

Notable among these cases are the Joint Traffic Association case (171 U.S. 505) argued for the railroad by Mr. Carter, the leader of the New York bar, Mr Phelps, Ex-Minister to England, and Ex- Senator Edmunds, of Vermont; the case of Nichol v. Anns (173 U. S. 509), involving the validity of the Federal Tax on sales at exchange, and board of trade, in which Ex-Secretary Carlisle and Mr. Robbins, of Chicago, presented the opposition to the law, and the Addyston pipe case in December, 1899, in which the Sherman anti-trust was first applied to an industrial combination.
