The Indiana School-Book Law.
he Editor of The Dispatch


Much is said just now about school books be-
ing furnished by the State, and the trusts are
quoting California and never once referring to
Indiana, where there is a law in operation that
is giving complete satisfaction. A gentleman,
in a letter to the writer this week. says respect
ing the operations of the law in Indiana: In
the first place. it is giving satisfaction and is a
complete success. Every inch of ground has
been contested by the trusts. They sent mis-
leading circulars to every teacher and trustee
in the State, and every other means in their
power was used to break down the law, but
they 1alled- 1he only thing now wanted is the
whole series of text books, and thing the Leg
islature has made provision for them. To be
more precise-l It gives complete satisfaction
to patrons and pupils. 2 1t gives satisfaction
TO teachers and am quite well acquainted with
a number. 5. The people would not return to
tie old way and pay two prices for books.
1t is not a sensible thing for people to discard
superior article for an inferior one. much less
pay twice as much for the inferior one as the
superior. To return to the old books and ways
is a thing of the past and is not debatable.
4. The press generally supports the law,
and speaks in the highest terms of it. Some of
their headlines are: The New School Book
Law Is a Success School Book Trusts ale
Down and the Law Is Triumphant and so on.
We have better books at half or near half
price,"
To make plain what is above indicated the
State has organized school book company
and they publish, or have published for them.
line of books that for example, a book
selling IL this State at 20 cents per copy, sells
there at 10 cents. That is First Reader
The Second Reauer sells here at 40 cents, there
at Is cents. A geography here 81 25, there 70
cents. AS the State proposes to educate the
children by furnishing teachers and buildings
and apparatus why not give them books at say
half the present price? Indiana does do it. and
SO can Pennsylvania. S. B.

Is 1t a Dead Lefter2

10 the Editor Of The Dispatch;
The antitrust argument in a recent Sunday

is sound TO the core, and if 4 few more Leading
dallies in this country would PRINT similar
arguments against selfish grab-all com mbinations
much good would be done. Disguise the fact
as anyone may. pools, combinations or trusts

To destroy wholesome competition and extort

Can be no mistake about this statement and

But what we write particularly for is to

This Ends the Controversy.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
My attention was called to certain statements
made by Mr.. John Rowan, published in the
Sunday issue of THE DISPATCH. he said IN
referring to the Ancient Order of United Work
men, Royal Arcanum, Hepuasophs and others,
that in the present investigation they will not
be touched, and added, he heard of one not
long ago that promises 81 900 at the end :of
seven years for about sS25 put in by the mem
bers, and that he had tried to figure out how
this sum will make $1,000 IN that time, but
failed, etc. Please, Mr.. Rowan, tell US how
you figure the payment of 5000 on the pay
ment of 81 or 81 50 per month in the Workmen.
Let us take the average of 81 and 81 so per
month, as you state, which is 81 25per month, or
SIG annually for s., 600, which is S. annually on
$1,000. According to your own statement, you
pay in during the expectancy, Is years, average
age 40, S224 and your heirs will get 81 900, ac-
cording TO your own figuring. The "seven-year
pian," upon which you figure pays in SS25,
which is slOl more than you pay. Now, where
does your 81, 600 come from? We know it does
come every time.
But let me still press this question-Where
does the 81, 600 come froml How is 1t produced2
If s224 produces in the A. o. U. W. in Is years
without interest. will not sS25 in seven years at
compound interest together with all the
factors, produce s., ,000f Is not the seven
year plan" which you condemn Sl0l-and the
:
are compelled to admit the fact Mr.. Rowan,
the trouble with you and all members of these
mortuaries is you know you must die in order
TO let some one else get your money. hence you
never ngure up the amount it will cost in Is
wears. But when we present you with the
seven year plan" you commence to figure, as
you expect to get the money yourself Another
trouble is you, and many others like you, do
hot understand the plan.
The seven year plan" does Dot agree or offer
SLOOO in seven years for S325, nor does it offer
any fixed amount. But it does offer 81, ,000 at
cost. Experience and history teaches us, how
ever, that all cooperative mortuarles" have
paid the legal heirs of deceased members s., 600
for less sum than $500 paid in. Hence every
time the member pays in $500 the legal heir
takes out 81, 100, or every time the member pays
81 the legal heir gets S5. And be it spoken to
the praise of these orders, they have never de.
faulted in a single claim, and have proved
themselves to be a great blessing and benefit
ITO widows and orphans" as you say. All we
ask is a thorough and careful investigation of
the plan by legislators and disinterested actua-
ries of admitted ability. FAIR PLAY.

The Free Library Site,

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
An afternoon paper in discussing the availa-
bility of the park entrance for the Library and
Music Hall, still holds up its old argument
that they should be placed down town." 1
do not wish to be put upon record as a library
crank but If any of the editors of the paper
had been present at either of the 'Shakespear-
can readings" given recently by Mr.. Hannibal
Williams in Carnegie Hall. Allegheny they
might have been very much surprised to find
that, on both occasions fully one-half the
audience were from localities lying between
Oakland and Homewood, and that, too, on two
Of the most inclement nights we have had this
season. And this has been the case with al
most every entertainment given at that hall
this winter.
Now, If the people in the East End are so
Wldeawake that they can go all the way to
Allegheny for what is worth having the people
in other parts of the city must be very slow IN
deed if they cannot go halt that distance for
the good things Of life. Fortunately though,
perhaps for everybody concerned Mr., Car
negle, after having proven himself so generous
already, will study to do the greatest good to
the greatest number, and in ACCOMPLISHING
that we do not doubt but that the Aforesaid
buildings will have to be at the entrance to the
park. CITIZEN.
