TEXT BOOK FIGHT IS
WARM IN ASSEMBLY

+ Sacramento, March 14.-Chargine
that the Harris bill providing for free
high school text books and recon-
mended favorably by the Assembly
committee on education, was draft
ed absolutely in the interest of the
textbook trust of the East Assem-
blyman Dan Williams. school teach
er, today declared he would fight the
proDoSed measure to the finish.
The Harris bill provides that the
Looks be purchased by the various
districts and distributed among the
high school students.
Williams big objection is that the
bill gives the state printery no op-
rortunity even to make bid for fur
nishing the books,
ample provision is made in the
bill for eastern concerns says Will
liarns, "but there is no provision for
publicatio by the state. l am not
charging Mr.. Harris with unfairness,
hut l do say that the legislative text
book Investigating committee, OF
which he was a member, and which
recommended such plan as his bill
proposes, was unduly prejudced in
favor of eastern book concerns. Some
consideration should have been given
the state printery.
Il have a bill which would give the
state printery chance, but | would
be satisfied with an amendment to
the Harris bill if it would only give
the state an opportunity 20 print the
books. provided that the state print
cry could turn them out at as low a
cost as anyone else. But the trouble
with the Harris bill is that it is draft
ed so carefully in the interest of the
eastern book concerns that 1t could
hardly be properly amended"
The state educational commission
q and the state board Of education
Rave endorsed the Harris bill, holding
that it would be impossible for the
late printery to produce the books
Z. a saving unless a Standardization
system was provided for, so that high
school books in the various subjects
v'cu,d be Uniform throughout the
state. Simultaneously it was held
that such uniformity would retard TIE
advancement of high school educa-
ton.
But Williams replies that even if
there is no standardization or uni
formity, the state printery, if per-
mitted to bid could save the school
districts 100000 a year.
~ was one of the joint authors of
the constitutional amendment which
brought about free textbooks for the
elementary grades" says Williams,
"and in my argument for the amend
ment l predicted that the state would
turn out these books at saving of
something like 100000 a year. This
very thing has been accomplished, and
now / say that if the state prin.ery
is given a chance it can turn out high
school books at a saving of 100000
q wear"

IRON AND STEEL

New York. November 25.-The inabilit. of the railroads to assemble raw ma terial is the most serious impediment to production of iron and steel and the prospect for early improvement in this respect is not bright
 A shortage of crude steel is resulting from an inadequate supply of pig iron and the finishing mills are curtailing rollings because of the scarcity of bil- lets. The Steel corporation is fortunate in being able to buy 1S,000 tons of in- gots from an independent plant.
 The government continues to buy sheets heavily for shipment to England and to France and all of the mills are working on government orders pre- viously placed Allotments of 600,o0o base boxes of tin plate, largely for export, have been made to the mills Domestic consumers. outside of canners, are likely to find supplies short
 Light rails are now to be sold on the basis of cents a pound for 9 pounds, put the price of standard sections has not yet been considered. The emer- gency fleet corporation has distributed additional large plate orders among the mills for ship construction. The govern ment is now in the market for 10000 tons of plates for munitions.
 The American International ShipbuiId- ing corporation has distributed orders for the fabrication of 100000 tons of steel plates and shapes and is negotiat- ing for 135,000 tons additional
 Sales of pig iron amounting to 150O00 tons have been made this week, but ad- ditional contracts for 100000 tons are going begging because lack of fuel is re- stricting output.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-11-26
STOCK AND BONDS

New York. November 25.-The past week in the stock market was again governed almost entirely by immediate foreign and domestic developments. The British offensive in France heartened sentiment more than any other event of recent months, but was counterbalanced both by the chaotic conditions in Rus sia and the increasing complexities con fronting the railroads of this country.
 Unity and coordination in the future conduct of the war strengthened the foreign exchange market, except ltahan remittances, which fell to point ln- dicating the acute economic dlsoraer prevailing in that country.
 In speculative circles there appeareo to be a growing recognition of vaiaes' especially in industrial shares. This was most evident in the steels, some of which made appreciable gains on the week.
