President Said to Contemplate Veto
Of Tariff Measures.

Washington. Aug. 3. Republican
"stand-patters" who talked vita Pres
ident Taft made the positive predic-
ton that Taft would veto both the
wool tarirr revision bill and the free
list bill II they reached him.
The president himself is reticent on
the subject, but the confidence exhb-
ited by stand-patters was taken TO
indicate that he had given them some
hint regarding his intentions. If the
senate and house agree on the two
measures. as now seems likely, and
the president vetocs them, the pros
poets are that the present session
will come 10 an abrupt end.

Onlo W AloWeo 10 Nloidte law
Columbus, o., Aug. 3.-Govornor
Harmon. Secretary of State Graves
and State School Commissioner Mil
Ter, comprising the state school book
commission, discussed the school
book situation in Ohio at length, and
here are some of the conclusions
reached. as explained by Graves:
Many school book companies, while
insisting they can't sell their books
any cheaper in Ohio, are selling the
same books at less price in Indiana.
Book dealers throughout Ohio are
today selling books in English liter
ature for less than school boards sell
them and the book companies admit
they sell these books cheaper to the
dealers than they do to 'he school
boards.
That the American Book company,
the largest publisher of school books,
will have a practical monopoly in Co
lumbus and other large cities If the
courts permit 1t to disregard the new
ruling of the state school book com.
mission. namely. that book companies
must sell their books in Ohio at not
more than 60 per cent of the list
price.
Before the state commission ruled
that book companies cant sell their
books for more than 60 per cent of
the list price. the companies hed been
allowed to sell for not more than 20
per cent. Many of the so-called indie
pendent companies said they couldn't
stand the cut and, therefore. wouldn't
relist their books this year for an
other flve-year period.
Rellsted Books Last Year.
But last year the American Book
company relsted all its books in
Ohio at time when the companies
were permitted 20 sell at 10 per cent
of list price.
The state commission doubts
whether the American School Book
company had a legal right to relist
It's books last year before the expira-
tion.of the five-year period for which
they had been listed. Attorney Gen
eral Hogan has been asked to rule on
this point. If he rules in favor OF
the company 1t will have an immense
advantage over its competitors, who
couldn't come in to compete unless
they cut their list prices to so per
cent. II Hogan holds the company
had no right TO relist its books last
year the state commission can com
pei It, along with the other compa'
nies, to sel its books at 60 per cent
