UNEARTHS
PROFITABLE SCHEME
Book Company Planned to Clean Up
Between $4,000 and $1,000 by
Evading Its Contract,

The A. NJ. Palmer company Of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, evidently tried to put
the thumb screw on the state when it
accepted contracts for furnishing Ger.
tain school books for use in the schools.
It contracted to furnish Writing Les
sons" for the primary grades, one to
three inclusive, at 20 cents each and
"at no greater price than it charged
in other states"
When the books were received for
distribution it was discovered that they
had printed on their backs the state
ment that they were to be sold at Is
cents. Superintendent Churchill at
once got busy and the company ordered
the j. X. Gill company Of Portland, the
firms distributing agents. to sell the
books at IS cents. Superintendent
Churchill became suspicious and as the
company had contract for furnishing
4" Palmer Method Of Business Writing
for use in the grades from the fourth
to the eighth, inclusive, with an agreed
price of 25 cents. Mr.. Churchill wired
Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of
Chicago's schools, as to the price Of
this book there, and received reply
that it was 10 cents. Mr.. Churchill i'm.
mediately made a demand on tho com.
pany that it give Oregon the same price
as Illinois, which under It's contract IL
must do, No answer had been received
up to noon. The saving will be cents
on the first book Of which $4,000 will
be used, and cents on the other, Of
which about 100000 will be required.
1t looks like the company was guilty of
little sharp practice, as the differ.
ence IN price would amount to between
10000 and $1,000.

Welch appeared on the scene. The

the statement made by the Pullman Car

"It is ridiculous" said the railroad

Greed Real Reason.
"The real reason is that the Pullman
directors will not let the company
manufacture more steel cars because
they realize that If they substitute the
steel cars, the oldfashioned sleeper'
must be thrown into the junk heap at
flat loss. tt is a matter Of dollars
and cents with the Pullman directors
and they will not increase the output
of steel cars unless they are forced tc
so do by the government.
"It is also untrue that the Pullman
company has furnished 5000 steel cars
to the railroads in the last three years
I am certain that not more than l5O'
steel cars have been built within tha'
time.
"Western railroad officials are dis
gusted with the action of the Pullman
company, in furnishing steel car
largely to the trunk lines in the Eas
and allowing the western lines to g
