prices are paid at the same letting for
articles of the same general character
used in different institutions. Quail
tiles are always considered. That this
variance in contract prices was as
much the rule in Republican days as
it ever has been was established last
night when Harry C. Bowman testi-
fed under Schenck's cross-examina-

ularity in the awarding at other than
the low figures submitted in 1912, of
contracts on a score of important
items bought by the then Republican
was chairman.

Der of The control board, taken an ac-
tive personal part in the letting of

IT was busy with other work. he
declared. 1T was important work
such as was specially qualified to do.

the republican board my part of the
, work on the contracts. collected
and codiied all the laws relating to
the state board and state institutions,
working from s o'clock in the morn

along with his proposal to save the
state thousands of dollars by CONSOLE
