Santa Fc. \. NJ, May 4.-The joint
committees OF the senate and house
of tho state Legislature attended "a
hearing by subcommittee OF the
senate committee or education yester-
day afternoon. az which an effort
was made 10 investigate the reason
for high-priced school books and the
manner In which these books were
contracted Tor.
Alvan y. White, superintendent Of
public instruction. and members OF
the state board OF education were be-
fore the committee during the after
noon. Senator sulzer Of Bernalillo
county, whose resolution Ia tho sem
ate brought about the Investigation.
took an active part In the inquiry.
read a number of letters he had re-
coircd from residents Of Bernnlillo
county and asked many questions OF
the witnesses.
The inquiry has not proceeded far
enough 20 determine ita outcome, but
| Il is going 10 be a thorough one and
may result In witnesses being called
Ia from other parts OF the state.
According 10 the testimony of Prof.
Light. the state board Of education
when Il made contracts with the var-
ious publishing companies for books
had but one object la view--that be-
lng 20 secure text books Cor the chill
dren of the state at the lowest pos-
sible price. Accordingly bids we're
called FOR Prof. Light said, ana the
board then passed upon the bids and
. al
difference In price was greater. Prof.
Idght said tha state board usually
gave preferences 60 ths lower price
az tho expense Of the text book. He
cited several instances whore this had
been che case.
Hc said that the state board Of odu-
cation had made q contract with the
various publishing concerns Ia the
text book busines for the regular tex,
books necessary In the schools pro-
vidlng that those books should boz
placed az stated points In New Mex
leo accessible 10 tho school districts
az a fixed price. and that the retail
price Of the books should be stamped
in tfr books together with the exc
change price In order that no dealer
or agent Of the concerns could charge
la excess Of tho contract price He
said that no far az the state hoard
WIS concerned Il knew nothing of the
lifcld company in any manner be-
cause its contract was direct with the
publishing companies and provided
shat they should deliver the books AZ
a fixed price.
ID seems that after having tied up
the state board in a contract for tour
years, the publishing companies then
made the nfeld company of Las Ne-
gan and Albuquerque tho Distributing
agent ana made an individual con-
tract With that concern. what thiH
contract a. the state board has no
