California and Kansas are the only
States in the Union in which the
Book Trust was whipped and State
publication allowed.
California is producing school
books cheaper than ever before and
Kansas is fully abreast of California.

Kansas has Just commenced, and
here is what she is doing q quote
from a statement issued by the State
Printer, w. r. Smith,:
The State of Kansas has operated
it's own printing plant since July 1,
1905. The grounds and building
cost $4,000 and equipment approx
mately 5000. The Legislature in
1913 appropriated $150,000 addi-
tional to purchase ground and en-
large the plant and install equipment
necessary for school-book making.
They have the best plant west Of
Illinois. They have floor space of
SO, 460 square feet. They COM
menced publication of school-books
about July l, 1905. The first five
months they produced over 100000
school-books at a saving to the pur-
chasers of $30,6O1,55.
I quote from the report: cit is
conservatively estimated that the
Eastern book concerns at the present
time are selling $250,000 worth of
school-boOks in Kansas each year.
The State can publish these books
at 40 per cent. less and the tax
payers will be saved at least $100, 600
each year.
"The State does not need to keep
high-priced agents on the road con-
tinually. Nor is it obliged to spend
large sums in advertising Neither
