Springfield, H., June 1l.-(Speci2L)
The so-called "Busse bond bills,
which completely revise the revenue
laws of Illinois, were signed today ny
Governor Deneen The bills are house
bills No. 60 TO II and 293 to 29f, inclu

the provisions of bill No. 496, signed
by the governor several days ago,

duces in corresponding proportion,
the limit of tax rate in the several

Stead Finds Flaw.
Springfield. Ill, June 14.-If Gov.
ernor Deneen follows the opinion of
Attorney General w. s. Stead he will
veto the maximum price school book
bill. which passed both houses of the
general assembly by practically
unanimous votes. and is conceded to
be probably the most popular with
the general public Of all the legisla-
ton which emanated from the 46th
general assembly.
Because the Ettelson bill does not
fix maximum prices 10 be paid for all
books that are used in the schools
it is held by the attorney general tC
be class legislation. and therefore un-
constitutional. The attorney gen.
erals opinion was transmitted to
Governor Dencen. 1t was made pub
lie by Mr.. Stead last night.
Stead states Opinion.
At the outset Attorney General
Stead in his opinion holds that tho
state clearly has the right to regu.
late the adoption, use and price ol
text books used in the public schools
The question he is called upon tC
decide. he says, is whether the legis
lature. in attempting to exercise the
right through senate bill 272, VIC
lated the provisions of the constitu
ton.
Because the words free public
schools" or public schools" are no
used in a restricted or qualifyin,
sense, either in the title or in tn,
body of the bill, the attorney gen
eral hol' that it clearly embrace
high school, in which, he says, it i
common knowledge that algebra, ge
ometry, Latin, German, French am
chemistry are taught. On this, tn
opinion says:
Picks Flaw In Bill.
None of the text books necessar
for use in teaching these branche
are affected by the provisions of thi
