Sentiment in favor of publication Of
school books by the state seems to DO
growing in the Legislature, and tho
house committee on educatioon has al
ready reported fayorably on the meas-
ure. which will come up this week for
consideration by the house in commit
tee OF the whole. This bill is substi-
tute for several other bills, retaining
their best features. and it's friends hope
for its passage through both houses.
The prospects for the two bills on the
new capitol seem to be very favorable.
One of these bills provides for the pay
Elent of the interest on the advanced
building fund outside Of the special tax
in order that the full s.. 0o0. 900 may be
devoted to building. The other covers
matter of detail dealing with the co,l-,
tractors. The apparent object of these
measures is the expediti1$ Of work on
the handsome new state house, and the
opposition that formerly existed to tho
main proposition now simply consists of
an un,noveable purpose to see that the
limit OF cost is, in no way exceeded.
Amendments to the general law must
first provo that taey cannot extend the
limit OF cost, altar which, they have
clea1 sailing. The fact is counted on
