The stand that will be taken by the Democrats will probably be thrashed out at a caucus to be held Monday or Tuesday night. It also appeared probable that the course to be pursued in the controversy over purchase of school text book? would be mapped out at this caucus, as the text book issue threatens to overshadow all others during the early part of the week. Several bills designed to iron' out the muddle, including one for printing school books by the state, and another for purchase of books by boards of education for rental to pupils at not more than 25 per cent of their original cost, have, been introduced. A rigid investigation of affairs j of the whole department appeared likely at the Friday adjournment,!

I after the house amended a con-1 current senate resolution to re-, quire the stale department of eduI cation to produce nil data concernI ing the school book question. [ No organized opposition has, materialized against placing of a tux on cigars cigarets, other to-bat-co products and cigar stores. '■ but It was considered unlikely that a general levy on them would, be adopted without a fight. 1
