HENRY PAYS $l5,799
TO REVENUE AGENT
Matter Being Straightened out
Money Was in Bank.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 20-In the
Matter of the claim of Stokes V. Rob-
ertson, state revenue agent, against
I. M. Henry, insurance commissioner
for the amount of $36,897, alleged to
be due the state of Mississippi on ac-
count of premium taxes collected for
parts of the year 1919, 1920 and 1921
Commissioner T. M. Henry TODAY
turned over to the state revenue
agent checks to the amount of $15,-
799.41.
This amount was turned over with
statement in which Mr.. Henry claimed
that this amount was all that was
-uae, and that it had been in the bank
to his credit as insurance commission
er. 1t appears that it was overlooked
on previous settlements. AS to the
remainder Of the amount claimed.
Commissioner Henry stated that over
$4,000 had been already paid into
the treasury, and that about $4,000
CT the amount had never been collect
ed from the companies.
The revenue name since the filing
Of the original claim, claims an add.
tional amount of about $4,000. This
latter and the difference between the
audit of the revenue agent and the
insurance commissioner as to the
original amount will be checked over
and is now in process of adjustment
between the auditors on both sides.

preliminary and the committee prom
ises to make complete report later
after taking further testimony. The
report made to date is as follows:
Mr.. Speaker and members of the
House of Representative of the Leg
islature of Mississippi:
Gentlemen: Your committee au-
thorized by resolution No.--beg leave
to make the following partial report
of its findings to dtae:
The committee has conclusive proof
in substantiation Of the charges made
in the press of the state that the text
book commission, appointed by Gov.
Russell, adopted the books of certain
publishers for use in the schools of
Mississippi for the five-year period
1920-1925, at prices greatly in excess
of the prices at which these books are
being sold under contract in other
states. And for your information on
this point we submit the following
table of prices:
A comparison of the prices of GER
tain books in several states. Prices
governed by contracts by publishers
and the state authorities:
The north Mississippi herald. (Water Valley, Yalobusha Co., Miss.) 1888-1929, 1922-02-24

From the above table it should be
observed that Tennessee and Missis-
sippi schools use the same geogra-
phies and spoilers; that Alabama and
Mississippi schools use the same arith-
metic; and that all three of these
states use the same readers up to
fourth reader of the series. It ap-
pears that these readers were adopted
In Tennessee in the summer of 1919,
in Mississippi June, 1920, and in Ala
bama in January 1921.
When we compare the number of
books adopted for use in this state
for the above mentioned fve4year
period, we found that there had been
added six (6) basal and thirty-four
(34) supplemental books to the list
for the 1920-1925 period. We are try
ing to find reason for this startling
increase. However, we will state here
that we have been unable to find a
law that could authorize the adoption
of any supplemental books of any KIND
by the Mississippi Text Book Com

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1s.-Gep.
eral suspension of work by union coal

dunn vote of the union membership,
was ordered late today by the con-
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America unless new wage agree
ments are readjusted before that date
in both the bituminous and anthracite
coal fields.

day by the convention of the United
Mine Workers of America as q part
Of the policy the union will seek to
have included in new wage agree
ments, effective April 1. This de-
mand had the united opposition Of the
unions leaders, including the district
presidents.
The convention action for the short
er work day, however, was the only
radical change in the wage policy pro-
posed by the unions scale committee,
which centered the unions policy pro-
ossls toward retaining present basic
wages for soft coal miners and gain
ing increases for anthracite workers
under the threat of general strike.
The strike and wage proposals by the
committee were adopted by over
whelming votes. The strike declara-
ton, however, provided for its submis-
sion TO A referendum vote of the union
membership before any walkout is or
ccred by officials.

lar and seventy-five cents G.75), for
three histories, while in Mississippi
five histories are listed in the course
and they cost five dollars and twenty
five cents (5.25). Alabama and Ten
nessee authorities agree that two
physiologies are sufficient, while in
this state the seem to consider three
books on this subject necessary.
Further examples Of loading down the
course with numerous books and
emptying the pockets of the people
of Mississippi are unnecessary.
We find that from just one grade
the basal and supplemental hooks
adopted and listed in the present
course of study for that grade cost
thirteen dollars and twenty cents
1920, while the cost of all books
adoped for this grade under the pre-
vious adoption was only three dollars
and sixty-seven cents (3.67). We
feel that from these statements of
fact the members of the House can
form an opinion as to whether the
1920 text book commission was DOM
mated by desire to serve the public
interest or not.
There appears to be a slight differ
ence In the amount of subject matter
of the two or three copies of books
adopted in Mississippi and Alabama.
However, 1t is not such a difference
as to justify the increase in cost of
these books in Mississippi over the
cost of same in Alabama. It occurs
to your committee that this is plain
subterfuge, and that if the situation
was handled vigorously by the text
book commission this injustice could
be remedied-
While it appears from the record
that the chairman of the textbook
commission has had up, by corre-
spondence with the publishing COM
panies, the matter of comparative
prices of textbooks in Mississippi and
other states, no results have been OBJ
tanned. We feel that the gravity of
the situation demands that the COM
mission be convened and that a
through investigation be made of
textbooks prevailing in the various
states at this time. We desire to
commend the efforts of Chairman
Bond along this line and urge him to
convene the commission and to take
such official action as the facts de-
mand. Paragraph II of the contracts
guarantee that Mississippi and Mis-
sissippi children shall have books as
cheap as other states and children.
Your committee will make final re-
port later on in the session. We are
now engaged in taking testimony with
further reference to the subject mat
ter of this investigation.
