Free Text Books for
Public Schools VIII Be
Up to the Voters

Attorney General Brown has prepar-
ed the ballot title for proposed amend
ment to the constitution providing for
free text books in the public schools.
The amendment is to be circulated by
petition and is proposed by w. B. Nc
Kinney of Portland. The attorney gem
eral holds the amendment applies only
to the public schools, although the first
Impression was that it applied to all
schools within the state. Superintendent
Churchill says it viii take $500,000 to
carry out the provisions of the law, and
doubt is raised as to whether the legis-
lature could pass valid laws under the
amendment should it carry. The ballot
title as prepared by the attorney gen.
eral follows:
Free Textbooks for All Pupils At
tending Public Elementary Schools:
Purposes: A constitutional amend
ment providing for a State Board of
which shall compile and
adopt a uniform series Of textbooks to
be provided at state expense and dis
tributed by the board under such con-
ditiOns as the Legislature may pre-
scribe, free of cost to all children at
tending day and evening elementary
schools of the state, and the printing
thereof may be done by the state print
ng plant under the direction of the
board. Text books so adopted shall con-
,inue in use not less than four years"

THE MARKETS
x x y X 4 x X x 4 X x \

The eastern buyers shipped several
car loads of eggs into Portland ahd
this has had the effect of slowing up
the market. When the wholesale mar
ket reaches the so cent point and the
retail five or ten cents more, business
in eggs falls off. 1t seems that when
the average housekeeper sees five
cents disappearing with every egg, she
is not quite so anxious to serve eggs
at every breakfast. Hence the demand
for eggs has slowed up and many buy
ers think so cents wholesale is about
the limit.

ANTI-GAMD[INCBILL
INTRODUCED SENATE

Senator Thatcher of Eureka yester-
day introduced an anti-gambling bill
designed to prohibit entirely the play
ing of all games of chance for gain
or percentage, and placing all slot
machines under the ban. The meas
ure is so constructed, however, that
it will permit the conducting of lit
tie poker game when staged as a
private party.
No reference is made in the meas
ure to betting on horse races by the
pari-mutuel system which is now le-
galized by an act of 1915. Stud and
draw poker are prohibited, as are all
games usually inscribed in the gam
bler's catalogue. Even the playing of
slot machines for checks or merchan-
disc is made a misdemeanor. Viola
ton of the provisions of the act is
made punishable by a fine of not less
than $50 or more than $500, or by
Imprisonment for not less than thirty
days nor more than ninety days, or
by both fine and Imprisonment.
The sheriff is authorized to seize
all gambling apparatus and devices
when the same are believed to be had
for the purpose of violating the law.
Such devices are to be taken before
a magistrate and, after the examina-
ton of the proper witnesses. shall be
ordered destroyed.

BY vote of IL to the Senate yes
terday afternoon passed the Huskey
primary measure. Senator Harring-
ton of Ormsby opposed the bill from
the outset and sought to re-refer it
to the judiciary committee with in
structions to eliminate all reference
to the removal of county and town
ship offices from politics. He was
voted down and he then endeavored
to make the same changes by offer
ing amendments, and again was un-
successful.
That section giving candidates the
right to reject certain portions of the
platform was likewise opposed by
Harrington and his motion to strike
out was lost.
The five Senators who voted against
the passage of the bill were Brad
shaw, Buol, Kinney, Summerfield and
Harrington. The measure now goes
