The ''school Book Law.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

IO the EQl.Or Cl Gue OispatCu.
twill be remembered that there was
an intimation in former article that
such legislation was believed to be
D p,ssible in this State as would result
in immediate relief to very many OF
our people, and ultimately effect a
saving of very large amounts OF
m 'ney.
The sSchool Book Law" of the
State of Indiana, now lying on my
desk, has been operative for ten
wears; and has been modified and per-
fected until the people OF that State
are being wonderfully benefited by
it's provisions.
It is too lengthy for publication in
your paper, but brief reference to
its salient points will be interesting
and instructive. The State Board OF
Education is constituted a Board of
School Book Commissioners who are
required to select or procure a series
of text books for the use OF the COM
mon schools.
They must advertise for sealed
proposals for furnishing text books
to the Trustees, from publishers or
authors or persons who are willing to
compile certain specified books. The
Board is empowered to contract with
the lowest bidder who furnishes the
required bond-but the cost OF the
books must not exceed certain prices
which are specified in the Act. The
contractor is to be paid from the sale
of the books only; the State not in
anywise becoming liable. School
Trustees are required to apply to the
County Supe,intendents for such
books as are needed in the respective
schools. The County Superintend-
ents apply in turn to the State
Superintendent who orders from the
contractor, The books are shipped
to the County Superintendents and
delivered by them to the School
Trustees, by whom they are sold to
the patrons. The prices are fixed by
law and printed plainly on the cover
of each book; and to sell for higher fig
.ures is made a misdemeanor for
which the punishment is provided.
Quarterly reports must be rendered
and the money from the sales for
warded through the proper channels
to the contractor. Trustees who do
not properly account for the books,
or their equivalent in money are held
to be guilty of embezzlement and
punished accordingly. This removes
the necessity for requiring bond
which might prove embarrassing, as
the Trustees are not salried officers.
TIE above is very brief synopsis
of the original law. The perfected
statute, with its amendments, fills a
pamphlet of some twenty five pages.
Some of the results will next be
considered, and We cannot do this
better than by furnishing a compa-
tive statement of the cost of text
books in the two States of Indiana
and South Carolina. The prices are
taken from the School Book Law
of the first named State, and from the
price lists of two of the leading book
houses of this State.
This table gives the comparative
prices of list of books in common
use.

A NICE CATALOGUE.

We have before us catalogue,
of the Munger Improved Cotton
Machine Company, of Birmingham
Alabama.
The catalogue contains 100 pages
on heavy paper profusely illustrated
with photographs pertaining to
their works and machinery.
The Mungers have proven masters
in treating the cotton after it is
taken from the field, as has the
McCormicks made name for the
manner of gathering our large
wheat crop with their improved
machinery.
The Mungers were the first to take
cotton direct from the wagon by
suction and feed it into the gin and
in this process have special con-
structed machinery to bear and fan
the dirt from the staple before il
passes into the gin, thus making it
bring better price in the market
after being handled by their ma
chinery.
To show you how the business has
grown we can say that in 1888, the
firm realized from sales only $500,
and the sales have grown until
they reached in 1898 1906, ,703.
The catalogue can be had by ad-
dressing the Birmingham house or
the one at Dallas. Texas, and if you
contemplate buying a gin the Nun
ger system is a good one to put in,

SELF CONVICTED.

Responsibility for trust conditions
cannot be successfully evaded by
the Republican party on the plea
that it was unaware that the trend
Of class legislation was toward mo-
nopoly of industrial commercial and
transportation facilities.
1t has not only been compelled by
events to note the cause-and-effect
relation in trust growth, but in the
last Congress the democrats offered
an opportunity to pronounce upon
the evil
The Republican party rejected
the offer aud thereby wrote itself
down as willingly responsible for the
encouragement and multiplication
OF trusts.
The occasion for this assumption
of responsibility arose during the
passage of the Dingley bill. Mr..
Dockery introduced dn amendment
providing that all manufactured
articles which might thereafter be-
come the subjects of monopoly by
trusts or combines should be placed
upon the free list by order of the
Secretary of the Treasury, upon the
proper presentation of proof.
This amendment was supported
by the entire Democratic represen-
tation in the House, but on motion
of the Republican leader on the
floor it was defeated by the the
unanimous vote of the Republican
majority.
The record of the Republican
party's Endorsement of trusts is
prominently and plaiuly written il
the chronicle of congressional pro
ceedings. The party cannot go be
hind its authorized returns. - Re
