NOTHING DOING FOR THE SCHOOL BOOK TRUST By virtue of his office, Governor Marshall is a member of the state board of education. The members of that board, in their capacity of school book commissioners, have finally settled the question as to what books are to be used in the public schools during the next year. And the question has been settled in favor of the people and against the school book combine. That this is so is due almost wholly to Governor Marshall's determined stand against unnecessary changes in textbooks. The book trust, through the crafty manipulation of its agents, had framed up a scheme to throw out all of the books now in use and for which it was necessary to make new contracts. If this scheme had succeeded the people having children in the schools would have been fleeced out of an enormous sum of money. The readers were changed because it was conceded that the old ones were no longer fit. But no other changes were made, thanks to Governor Marshall

and State Superintendent Aley. These officials were mindful of the people's interests. The result is that hundreds of thousands of dollars will remain In the pockets of the fathers and mothers of the state which would have gone to further enrich the school book trust if its grab had succeeded. With a big majority in both branches of congress, the Republicans have made a tariff law that is a disgrace to the country and an injury to at least 90 per cent, of the people. The result is that many clear-headed men see that there is going to be a popular revolt which will manifest itself in Republican defeat at the next election. In this emergency they are raising up the cry “that the tariff must be taken out of politics.’’ But it will not be taken out of politics so long as all of the people are heavily taxed for the benefit of a few who don’t need the money except to maintain expensive establishments abroad and more than royal palaces at home. A tariff for public revenue and not a tariff for private graft must be put in operation before the question can be taken out of politics.
