McNutt Textbook Change Will Cost Parents A Million Has Only Month-Old $599 Basement Firm, But McNutt Board Gives Him $350,069 “Plum”. INDIANAPOLIS — Indignation was at fever heat throughout the state this week as parents of school children realized that the latest move of Gov. P. V. McNutt, self-styled “friend" of education, had cost the family purse more than $1,000,000. The governor’s state board of education adopted three new readers, three new arithmetics and a set of 'eight copy books. This meant that parents could begin getting ready to shell out $300,000 next fall for brand | new books, a less amount each year for the next four years, the whole bill amounting to more than a mil- ! lion. The move automatically banned the purchase of second hand books next September in the changed classifications. Although the board claimed that it “had been inclined to accept the low est bid consistent with good educational standards” not a single book contract went to the bidder. Every change was made over the written protests of nearly 1,100 coun ty, city, town and township school officials who were polled prior to the adoptions by a member of the state board. The wishes of the local educators were ignored although about 400 made prompt replies to the board ) members questionnaire. Friend of Governor* As if to add more confusion to the whole affair, the Governor, after making numerous lofty statements against “high pressure” tactics in school book bidding, permitted the board to give one of his most intimate friends, Paul Feltus of Bloomington, a $350,000 copy book contract although Feltus’s firm was less than a month old,-'consisted of a small basement print shop in that city, and its paid-in capital was but SSOO. Expected It to be Pure. Many an Indiana school patron had expected the April letting of school texts to be as pure as the breath of spring, particularly after Gov. McNutt had declared that the “school book situation stinks." The fat school book contract let to PauLFeltus who was not the low bid der, came right on the heels of the following statement by Mr. McNutt flaying “high pressure* sales tactics: “The school book situation in this state stinks. I have informed members of the state board of education that if I found anyone of them directly or indirectly working for the interests of a book publisher I . would dismiss that member immediately. ” But this high-sounding language apparently carried little conviction. No sooner had the Feltus firm obtained its contract than the press unfolded the following facts: 1. Mr. Feltus publishes the Bloomington Weekly Star in a small basement plant which is also the address of “The Columbia Press. 2. “The Columbia Press” in its ar- ; ticles of incorporation filed with the j secretary of state last month stated : its paid-in capital as SSOO. 3 Mr. Feltus’s new firm stands to i do a business of more than $350,000 i in the five year contrast period. 4. “The Columbia Press” bid was ! not low, but exceeded that of sevI eral companies by 30 to 40 per cent. 5. Mr. Feltus incorporated the I concern on March 6, issued first edij tions of the tests March 23; got the official award f othe contract twelve days later. Mr. Feltus conferred here last week with the governor. He was the choice of the McNutt forces for the postmastership of Bloomington, but a rival faction was successful in placing one of its members in the position recently. The contract awarded Mr. Feltus’s concern was for the writing books used by the first eight grades thruout Indiana. It is considered by book men to be one of the most lucerative contracts let by this state because once used they cannot be sold second-hand. Under present enrollment in Indiana grammar schools the Columbia Press will have a customer list of 511,000 public school children annually for the five-year period. The bid of the Columbia Press was 9 cents a book, which means.that the contract should amount to about ; 535u,000. The 9-cent bid of Mr. Feltus’s concern exceeded severs! other bids, some of which were as low 'as 5.833 cents, 6.3 cents and 7.5 c. Incorporators with Mr. Feltus were two employes in his shop, Robert Howard, a printer and Leslie Shaw, a linotype operator. Since the adoption the governor has complained: “Can’t any friends of mine do business with the state if their product is good? LOVE AND LAUGHTER The new theory is that we laugh ourselves into love. Being pretty won’t get you anywhere and neither will being smart. You have to leave them laughing. The next trick is to find away to laugh yourself out ox love. —Chicago Daily News. O LAST MINUTE NEWS. The fire department was called shortly after noon today, to the H. W. Buchholz home, where the roof of the shed at the rear of the lot was on fire. Neighbors had found the shingled roof aflame and had fought the .flames with a garden hose so they almost extinguished the fire before the department arrived. No one knows the cause of the fire unless it might have been a spark from an engine on the railroad setting fire to the dry shingles

NO PARDON PETITION SIGNED FOR HAWTHORNE Residents of the east end of the lake, where last fall' occurred the shooting fray between Freeman Moore and Jimmie Hawthorne of Ft. Wayne accompanied by two companions, asked if it were true that Judge Vanderveer and the 12 jurors in the case had signed a petition that Hawthorne be pardoned, as the residents said they had been told, and asked to sign. When questioned yesterday, it was stated by Judge Vanderveer: “No recommendation has been made from this court that Hawthorne be released. “The court has recommended that the parole board look into facts which the application has set up.” 0 FUNERAL HELD TODAY. Mrs. Myrtle McKibben of Milford mother of Mrs. Noble Myers of Syracuse, died at her home, Tuesday evening. A heart attack was the cause of her death. Mrs. McKibben was 59 years of age. She w’ould have been 60 had she lived until the 11th of July. Funeral services for her are being held this afternoon at her home in Milford, with Rev. Duker of Goshen in charge. Burial will be in the Milford cemetery. Mrs. McKibben was a tfi'ember of the Grace Brethren church. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Myers; two grand-children, two sisters, Mis. Pippinger and Miss Frances Becknell of Chicago; a brother, Earl Becknell of Milford. y WIN SUGAR. Sugar winners last Saturday evening were: Marie LeCount, S. R.

A republican is one who believes that even in an emergehey the purpose of our constitution is to guarantee individual rights against the arbitrary authority of government. He believes in free speech, a free press and the free competition of fiee individuals. “3. A republican is one who is opposed to a managed or planned economy whether it be communist, fascist or socialist. He believes that the prosperity and , progress of America can best be promoted, not by a federal bureaucracy but by private enterprise and initiative properly policed against abuses but with a minimum of red-tape regulations. “4. A republican is one who believes that recovery will come more quickly from restricted confidence in natural economic forces than from a socialistic experiment which perplexes and bewilders and frightens both investors and producers. “5. A republican is one who favors a sound, stable currency based on gold. He is one who believes that the control of the national credit should be vested in the federal reserve banking system, not in a federal bureaucracy in the treasury. 6“A republican is one who does not believe in compulsory limitation of the products of the farm, but would rely upon an extension of world markets for those products. “7. A republican is one who, while recognizing the social obligation of the local, state and federal government to feed and clothe the destitute, insists upon the most rigid economy in public expenditures and the swift demobilization of the huge army of bureaucratic employes now on the public pay roll. “Finally, a republican is one who believes that the tax burden bears a direct relationship to prosperity, that the government can never spend its people into prosperity, that economy is no less a public necessity than it is a private virtue. “These, then, constitute what seem to be the essentials of a sound republican policy. They bear without exception the indorsement of successful practice. They are in accord with the spirit of our institutions and most of them have played a large part in building here in this country, a great, free, prosperous nation." O . Governor Pinchot opens his campaign for the Pennsylvania Republican senatorial nomination by an appeal to the “plain people.” Doesn’t he want the women to vote for him? 0 We would be more impressed with : what Senator Brookhart says about- - future of Russia if we didn't ' remember that a couple of years ago ’ he said that prohibition was here to ' May.
