It Is the understanding that all of
these bills are to pass.
The Culbertson bill, which permits
Hanover college to reincorporate so as
to receive endowments and Increase

the senate. It had already been passed
by the house. .

bill to regulate the construction and
maintenance of flat buildings, apart
ment houses and tenement houses. As
the McGInnlss bill now stands it ap
piles to all cities of the state. But
when the senate got through with the
Mattlingly bill the other day, which
was, like the McGInnlss bill, it only
applied to cities of more than 50,000
population. The senate will probably
amend the McGInnlss bill as It did the
Mattlngly bill.
There ls grave danger that the Gar
rard blll to repeal the uniform system
of school books may pass the legis
lature, and thus throw open the flood
gates of graft and corruption that ex
isted in former years when each coun
ty made its own s-electlon of. text
books. There Is the strongest lobby
behind this bill that has ever been seen
in this state during a session of the
legislature. The brewers lobby is as
nothing whe ncompared to it. The
school book lobby is made up of a
score or more of the most trusted
agents of the school books combine
and the most able of the combine's
manipulators. They are men who have
been trained to do the very work that
they are doing here and they know how
to do anything that ls necessary to be
done to pas sthe bill. 'They have all
the money that can be used, as the
school book lobby always has. None
of these men ever go about the state
house. They stay at the hotels and
men who wish to do business with
them go to the hotels to do It.
T. A. McCaslin of Cleveland, a law
yer, is the head of the lobby, the man
who directs the fight for the school
book 'combine by which It hopes to rape
the people's pocketbook. He has room
732 at the Claypool hotel, and close to
his room ls that of Charles T. Brown,
also of Cleveland, who is in the Cleve
land city directory as the agent of the
American School Book company.
Under the able direction of these men
the school book lobby is working. The
work is being done quietly and under
cover, and it is the most dangerous
kind of work, for it is as a foe that
strikes In the dark.
Each County to Have Different Books.
This lobby proposes by the blll
which, strange to say, has been Intro
duced by Representative Garrard of
Vlncennes, the democratic floor leader.
to take out of the hands the state
board of education the authority to se
lect textbooks for the schools of he
state, and place that power in the
hands of a commission in each county.
This county commission would consist
of a county superintendent, appointed
by the township trustees, and two
members of different political parties.
appointed by the county superintend
ent. This commission would then se
lect and adopt the books for the schools
of that county and the people who have
children attending school would be
obliged to pay for the books whatever
price the school book companies might
see fit to ask for them.
Public at Trust 'h Mercy.
It can be seen at a glance that this
would throw the public school system!
into the dirtiest kind of politics. All
that would be necessary in order for a
school book combine to control the se
lection of books in a county would be
to elect the township trustees, because
they elect the county superintendent
and he appoints the members of the
school book commission. It would
mean a return to the old reign of cor
ruption and graft when men were
tempted-by the gold of the school-book
agents and fell. It would mean high
prices for school books, for the com
bine would make the people pay back
in the incerased price every dollar that
It spent in carrying the elections and
bribing officials. It would touch the
pocketbook of every family in the
state that has children: in school. And
this is the bill "that this lobby Is try
lngto pass and which it will pass un
less public sentiment throughout the
state 'is -aroused sufficiently to prevent
It.
, Xo Party Politics in Fight.
Fassett A. Cotton, state superintend
ent of public instruction, is against the
bill to repeal the present system. So
Is Robert J. Aley, who succeeds Cot
ton in oince next month. One is a
republican and the other a democrat
so there Is no party politics in this
fight. It is a fight of the people against
the attack of the school book trust,
which seeks to overthrow the present
excellent school system of the state
and plunge It into the depths of dirty
politics.
All over the state the educators and
school people are opposed to the change

Bill Has Narrow Kseape.
One of the reform bills backed by
the merchants and commercial organi

cape in the senate yesterday after
noon. It is the bill that provides -that
when two members of a grand jury
notify the governor that a prosecutor
is not doing his duty the governor shall
instruct the attorney general to take
charge of the matters in which the
complaint is made and conduct the
prosecution. The committee made a
divided report on the bill, the minority
report being to kill the bill. The mi
nority report was adopted, but soon
afterward Senator Wood of Lafaj'ette
moved to reconsider the vote. Senator
Kirkman, who fought the bill, moved
to lay the motion on the table. The
tabling motion was lost. Then the vote
was reconsidered. A hot debate fol
lowed, participated in , by Senators
KIstler, Beal and Kirkman to kill the
bill, and Cox and Kane to save It.
When the vote was taken a second
