Free Text Book
Question Discussed

California, like Nevada, is having
trouble with the enforcement of the
law providing free school text books
for the pupils. In both states laws
have been enacted but for various
reasons they have never been enforc.
ed. In Nevada the bill was vetoed
by the governor after It's passage by
both houses two years ago.
A solution OF the mystery concern
ing the strong opposition appearent
to free text books was revealed yes
tsrday In Sacramento when senat
investigating committee learned that
the. education boards were working
~ the interests CT the book trust
Upon investigation It might be found
that the book trust was responsible
for the vetoing of the Nevada bill.
California voters were oyerwhelm.
inely In favor of the constitutional
amendment providing for free text
books, but the amendment was 80
wcrded that the state printer cannot
be forced to print the books and &C.
cording to the present status par.
ents will be compelled to purchase
ttxt books for their children until
the next legislative session untangles
The conflict. %
Two years ago both the republican
and democratic platforms of Nevada
contained planks In favor Of free text
books Every member of the legis.
lltlre was bound by the platforms
and when the bill providing for the
text books as promised in the party
platforms was introduced 1t passed
both houses without opposition. II
is true that opposition arose while
I The bill was in the hands OF the sen
ate and assembly committees, but
i this opposition was from the state
superintendent of public instruction
who was elected upon the democratic
ticket, and from the deputy superin
4 tendent who was appointed by the
elective superintendent,
Failing to kill the bill In the legis
lature the opposition sought the gov
elnor and were successful In thie1
iouest. The bill was vetoed and II
remains for the coming Legislature
to determine IL the bill shall become
a law Notwithstanding the objections
Oft the governor and 1t is possible
that believers in the law may secure
the required number of votes-that
is If the book trust don't get to then
first
During the last legislative session
it was rumored that the school bool
trust was responsible for the objec
tions to providing the children o.
Nevada with free text books. Sucl
move would be bad for the pub
fishers, for not only would thousand
of dollars be lost annually, but othe
states might full in line and pass ;
like measure. The habit would b
bound to be catching and every stat
I. furnishing free books would take
J fat sum from the pockets of tn
trust officials.
AS long as the book trust control
: the schools of Nevada it will requir
hard labor to circumvent the repr,
; sentatives who will work for the il
: terests of teir masters. An allie
| front presented by the various coul
| sies of Nevada will procure result
and this front should be in evidenc
at the coming session even thoug
