These schemes both look to state publ
cation and state uniformity of school
books, principles which are unanimous
ly opposed by more than nine-tenths of
the educators of this and other states.
In his last report State Superintendent
Sabin goes over the entire school book
question, citing the experience of other
states, and declares very strongly
against state uniformity and state pub
LEGATION of school books, as the plan al
ways results in very inferior books, be-
cause the stimulus of competition is re-
moved. He strongly favors free text
books. The question will be discussed
this winter, but no radical legislation is
expected. State Superintendent Sabin
reports that the present law has worked
with satisfaction in the state and has
resulted in greatly reduced prices.
Plan for Representation.
Mr.. Whelan, of Emmett county, the
chairman of the committee on constitu-
tional amendments in the house, has in
troduced a resolution passed last ses-
sion for the submission of a constitu-
tional amendment changing the plan
of representation in the house. 1t is
proposed that there shall be one mem
Der of the house for each county and one
additional for every county that has an
extra population of three-fifths of the
ratio, which is to be fixed after every
state and federal census by dividing the
total population by the number of coun-
ties. This resolution was passed by the
last legislature, and if ii is passed this
session, as seems likely, the amendment
will be submitted to the vote of the
people this year, and the change will be
made for the next Legislature. 1t will
result in increasing the representa-
for the northwestern part of the state,
while the eastern and older parts will
lose, because they now have an undue
representation.
officials Chosen.
The republican joint caucus held last
week renominated Freeman r. Conway,
of Brooklyn, for state printer and La.
fayette Young. of Des Moines, for state
binder, and N. N. Jones, of Atlantic, for
warden of the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary, all by reclamation for third
terms. w. A. Hunter, of Belle Plain,
was nominated on the first ballot for
warden of the Anamosa penitentary, to
succeed p. w. Madden. This unanimous
action in favor of Conway and Young
indicates that there will not be much
fight over the state printing and binds
