establishment of such plant would
 open up opportunities for graft and political knavery such as have never existed. Almost every state institution
 has at one time or another fallen in-
 to corrupt hands and been grossly
 and fraudulently mismanaged. Who can guarantee that state printing plant would not undergo the same experience And who can estimate
 the tremendous and irreparable damage that would be done to the children of this and future genera tions who would be forced to receive
 their instruction from books compiled
 and published by a board composed of interruptions politicians?
 There is no more reason why the state should publish text books for
 the public schools than there is that
 the state should establish furniture
 factory to construct the seats and desks that are used in the schools, or that it should buy coal mine to furnish fuel for all the schools. The
 house should defeat the Emory bill and if it passes it, Governor Brough should not hesitate to veto it.

A STUPENDOUS FOLLY.
s.'s..s.-s..s.--.s..s-s..ss......s...........-...

The enactment of the Emory text book bill, which passed the state senate a few days ago, would with out doubt be costly blunder and a stupendous folly. That such a meas ure could have passed the senate with the opposition of only four senators seems inconceivable, yet it actually occurred, and the only hope left is that the house will defeat it or the governor veto it.
 The Log Cabin Democrat has not yet had the privilege of examining a copy of the measure, yet it contains one provision-that of establishing a $20O,O0O state printing and pub fishing house-that should at once condemn it in the minds of every thinking person. Whether or not there should be state uniformity of text books or whether or not there should be state commission to se- lect text books are questions upon which much may be said on either side, but as to whether or not the state should embark upon such a venture as that of attempting to print its own ext books is question to which there could be but one answer.
 In the first and most important place the children of Arkansas are entitled to enjoy the product of the best brains of the United States, or
The log cabin Democrat., 1917-01-25

of the world, for that matter, and to say to them that they should study only such books as could be produced in Arkansas would be to deprive them of this great privilege of se- lecting from the best works of the wisest and most experienced authors in all the world. It is true that Ark ansas is not entirely without talent in text book authorship. But how many of our citizens have ever pro- duced a series of text books on math- ematics that could compare with those of Ray or Wentworth or even a spelling book that could compare with the famous old Blue Back? The Emory law would forever debar our children from looking into the covers of any of the world famed text books that have stood the test of time, for the simple reason that the copyright and publication privi- leges of such works are owned by others and could not be bought by the state. Every book that would be placed in our public schools would be a new, untried experiment, and it should be remembered that not one in one hundred of the new text books that are written ever proves practi- cable and comes into general adoption. Why should we erect a Chinese wall around our children, make them the proving ground for experiments that are more likely to be failures than successes, when we can so easily allow them what time, experience and intelligence has shown to be the best in the world?
 Even if the books could be pro- duced and sold at one-half or one third the present cost, it would be no less than a crime so to circum- scribe the opportunities of our school children. But the fact is, as anyone with the slightest knowledge of the printing and publishing industry knows, that it would not be possible for the state to manufacture it's own text books as cheaply as they can be

bought in the open market, even if
 all the copyrights of all the best
 books now extant were available and
 free. When we buy books from one
 of the great national publishing
 houses, the cost of royalties, admin
 istration, manufacture and distribu-
 tion are divided among 48 states.
 If the Emory bill becomes a law,
 these items of cost would have to be
 shouldered by the people of Arkansas
 alone. Anyone who has ever had 1 thousand letterheads printed knows that he can obtain five thousand at a much lower cost per thousand.
 If 25 or 40 states are using the same
 text book it stands to reason that that book can be sold mucn more cheaply than if it's sale were con- fined to single state.
 Of course, if Arkansas should go
 into the business of making text
 books for it's children, it should be satisfied with none except the best and most experienced men to select the material for these books and to direct their manufacture. The sal aries that such men can command are far more than any legislature would
 be willing to pay We do not know the compensation of the president or general manager, for instance of the American Book Company, but we should hesitate to believe that it is less than $25,O00 or $5O,OOO year possibly much more. Therefore, Arkansas could not obtain the best and brainiest men to place in charge of it's publishing plant and we should have to be satisfied with men of med iocre ability-men who could not pos sibly qualify for similar positions un- der private corporation.
 Conceding, however, that none of these objections are we'll taken, it is peculiarly inopportune time for the state to enter upon such a ven- ture. Arkansas just now happens to be bankrupt and her treasury war rants are not worth face value, be- cause there is no money with which to pay them. The $2O0,OOO appropri- ated in the Emory bill would be a small sum compared with the amount that would have to be expended be- fore the state could actually begin selling text books to its children Our revenues are in no condition just now to undertake such costly and such a foolish experiment Another obstacle just now is the greatly in creased cost of paper and every ma terial that goes into the production of books. White paper now costs from POO to 400 per cent more than it did prior to the outbreak of the European war. These high prices, paper experts declare, will be- main- tained for many months after the war closes.
 Despite this condition there have been no advances in the retail selling prices of school books. Text books today are relatively one of the cheap est commodities. They are sold on a smaller margin than any other kind of publication. The enormous vol tune of business done by the great national publishing houses enables them to furnish books and make a l good profit on them at a lower cost than single state could possibly produce them.
 All of these arguments assume that the proposed state printing and pub- fishing house would be honestly and intelligently administered. Yet the
