RENEW OLD CONTROVERSY
Effort Again Made to Have Certain
State Documents and Books Printed
Under Contraet-Would Take Aqri.
cultural Year Book From State
Printer.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 1S.-An effort has
been made here by interested parties
to revive an old controversy in re-
gard to the manner of having certain
state documents and books printed.
The effort is to induce the state eXecu-
! tive council to make an appropriation.
under its general powers, to have the
agriculturay year book, issued by the
agricultural year book, issued by the
contract, and have the contracts
| handled thru the secretary of the exc
cutive council rather than to have the
work done in the regular and ordinary
way.
1t seems that the controversy first
came up in 1902 and the matter was
submitted to Attorney General Mullan
with the result that he held the year
book was state document and subject
to the same business regulations as
other state publications. Later an eff
fort was made to induce the legislature
to pass some special bills authorizing
publication by contract of this book.
These were very ably backed by own
ers of large job printing establishments
some business they believed would be
profitable. But nothing ever came Of
it and the matter was dropped.
More recently an effort has been
made to get at it in another way and
to have the secretary Of the council
authorized to handle this business on
contracts Again interested persons
have come to the front to help get it
to a contract basis.
But the law is very plain on the sub
ject and the work for the department
of agriculture will be done the same as
for the horticultural department. geo
logical department. state auditor and
other departments Tho state agricul-
tural board 10 not concerned in having
the matter done on the contract system
and has not urged . change, being
abundantly satisfied with the present
method. The ruling Of Attorney Gen.
eral Mullan will undoubtedly be ad-
hered to until the legislature changes
the law if 1t ever does.
A good deal Of suspicion attaches to
the latest movement to get control Of .
small part Of the state printing and to
place 1t where 1t can be handled by
those other than the persons directly
concerned.

EARTH SURELY RIGIG,

Seattle, April 29-"Ii they had said that there was a tidal in- uueuce Of an inch ou tie earth's surface. it would be more reason able" said Professor Edwin J. Saunders of the department of geOI- ogy in speaking on the theory of Professor Nicholson of the Univer- sity of Chicago that the earth's core is as rigid as steel. 'It seems to me that an earth tide of a foot is very large, since the tide Of the open sea is only a foot and a half in height.
 The theory that the earth's cen ter was a molten mass has been suspended by the theory that the earth is solid" he continued. "All our geology is based on the theory that the core is plastic, and it is on this theory that we explain the movements of the continent al blocks"
