tlon Favors the Free School
Book Measure


after two hours executive session
yesterday. agreed to report the Perley
free text book bill with recommenda-
ton for its passage.
The debate covered a wide area of
territory, and is said to have been
heated at times On the test vote there
were but three votes recorded against
the bill. The bill will be reported by
the committee today. but il is expected
that its troubles will only then begin.
Members have been flooded by remon-
strances against the passage of the
measure and it was freely predicted
last night that the Perley bill would
never pass the house..
Members Of the committee on educa-
tion were asked prior to the meeting
yesterday to kill the bill in committee
that IT might not give them trouble on
the floor, but the committeeman re-
solved to put it out on the floor and let
it have hearing in committee of the
whole.
Withhold State Aid
The measure was amended in COM
mittee to make it effective Sept. /, 1906.
AS penalty for not installing free
text books prior to that date, the state
special aid to rural. graded and semi
graded schools will be withheld.
The committee on education recon-
mended all three of the agricultural
school bills, which have been before 1t
for the past three weeks. for passage.
On the Mannix bill. providing for a
bonus for the first five rural schools to
install agricultural instruction, the
committee was unanimous. There was
some little opposition to the Anderegg
bill, providing for a county consolidat-
ed school plan, but spirited debate
occurred on the L. H. Johnson bill. pro-
viding for county agricultural schools.
Friends of the bill succeeded In having
1t reported for final disposition on the
