BEFORE PASSING UPON IT Publishers Contend It Would Put Them to Great Kense Kt tel.son Defends Measure. Springfield, 111., June '9. School book representatives, county and city super intendents of schools and school book jobbers appeared before Governor De neen yesterday and urged him to veto the Ettelson maximum price bill. The representatives of the book companies declared that the bill, if it becomes a law, will drive them out of the busi ness in Illinois. They claimed that the demands of the Kttelson book bill are extravagant and drastic and that the bill would prevent the best text book3 from being used in schools. Senator Ettelson appeared alone in defending the bill. He made a strong argument in favor of it, and for an hour answer ed questions that were fired at him by the book representatives. Krquirrn Many Snmln. J. B. Scott, representing Scott, Fores man & Co., said the bill would compel his company alone to furnish SSS.320 sample copies of text books if it sub mitted bids" in the 11,816 districts in the state. As a bund is required to ac company each bid, he said that it would cost his, company $55,000 to put up bonds, which would aggregate in all the school districts $1,500,000. Ettelson took issue with statements made by different representatives of the book companies, to the effect that the bill would compel them to furnish surety bonds in every district, amount ing to millions of dollars. Ettelson said that the bill contained nothing about surety bonds, and that under its provisions any publisher in good re pute could furnish security, outside of surety bonds, for the performance of the contract.
