Opinion Filed.

Major Anderson filed with the stem
oerapher at this point an opinion rem
dored by himself with reference TO the
schoolbook question. in which he ex-
pressed views favorable TO uniformity
Of books in the schools in the various
communities.
Il don't think there is anything in
the Constitution" said the witness
which could be construed. either direct
" or by Implication. into requiring the
state Board to adopt a uniform straight
single list"
That Is just the point" said Mr.. Cox.
The convention intended that the StaA
Board should have this discretion ana
delegated TO any local committee or
board Whatsoever.
Now. didn't the State Board do that
very thing when IT called on local com
mittees to choose the books for their re-
spoctive countless"
Il do no think 80. These committees
recommended. and the board selected the
books
But. General. didn't the board rele-
gate this fight between the book-agents
TO tho countless
That IS true to n certain extent"
Mr. Cox tried to find out from the
witness whether there had been corrupt
methods used IN efforts to secure local
adoptions, but the latter could not saw
there had been. Some slight complaints
had been made as 10 certain agents
changing their bids. but no serious
charges had been brought to the atten-
ton OF the board.
Opinion of Book Agents.
He thought. as a rule. tho b~ook-agents
