ARE STILL FIGHTING.
Efforts Being Made to Get Unfriendly
Text Book Commission.

It seems that the fight on maximum
rates for text books did not end with the
defeat of Senator Leidy's bill this win
ter OF course this section of the law
cannot be turned down by the text book
commission, but an unfriendly commits
sion might cripple it's usefulness, and
such is now the scheme To this end
Governor Stanley has been importuned
to appoint Senator Leidy, and other SER
ators who fought maximum rates. on
the ground that they would hold the
other side level" and secure the best
books. This Is a fiimsy reason, and Gov
ernor Stanley would stultify himself to
be deceived by it. Should not only friends
OF maximum rates be appointed? A
divided commission would destroy the
purpose of the law, and by hook or
crook the book trust would be able to put
a distorted construction upon the law.
One unfriendly member could undo all
that the legislature has done To secure
good books it is not necessary to oppoint
men who a month ago were trying to put
the pa tron of the public schools at the
mercy of the book trust That there is
a book trust, everybody knows That it
had agents here this winter, both ON the
floor of the legislature and in the lobby
was apparent to all, managing and Gi
rectzng the fight. A special agent of the
trust sent from Chicago, sat in a lux
urious room in a Kansas City hotel. Ele
was in constant touch with the legisia-
ture by long distance telephone and X
necessary he summoned legislators to see
him in person All this influence fought
maximum rates and lost, and now under
the guise of good books it is proposed
to appoint the men who fought the in
terests of the people this winter What
the people want is commission that
will follow the exact letter Of the law.
They will stand no Juggling.
