;oncnts of the bill. It was also
argued that the bill in reality favored
the "schoolbook trust,' and that its
passage would result in the sale of
many thousands more books In Ore-
iron than are sold under the present
system.
Taxpayers Foot All Bills.
Speaker Bean, speaking for the bill.
fleclared it made no difference what
fry?tem was employed as to the pur
chase of schooibooks; that in the end
, the taxpayers would pay for them.
"The real purpose of this bill is to
lower the cost of school books in the
state of Oregon," he said. "It is up
to us to break the hold of the school-
book trust in Ort'gon. The states of
Kansas and California have broken
the hook trusts that existed in those
slates, and if we break it in this state
it will mean that we will break up a
combination which has been squeez
ing the very life blood out of school
natrons for manv vcars.

BILL ENLARGES VETO POWER
Constitutional Amendment Asked
In Senate Measure.
STATE HOUSE. Salem, Or., Feb. 17,
(Special.) A proopsed constitu
tional amendment introduced by Sen
ator Eddy, if approved by the voters
t the next special or general elec
tion, will give the governor authority
to veto single items in appropriation
bill.
He also may veto any provision in
new bills declaring an emergency.
without thereby affecting any other
provision of such proposed law.

trust' and it would mean a reduction
of at least 20 per cent in the cost of
books. The bill should pass."
Sjntem Not Kxperiment
Representative Hindman, who
championed the bill in the house, ex
plained that the free text-book sys
tern was not an experiment, but had
bei-n tried out successfully in many
states, including Pennsylvania, Kew
Jersey and New 1 ork.
. School books furnished to pupils
without charge have a longer life
than books privately owned, accord
ins to Kcprcsentative Overturf, who
was formerly a school teacher In
state which furnished free textbooks,
Air. Overturf branded the present law,
which provides free textbooks for
indigent children, an insult to the
state, and said that one of the prin
cipal reasons he had for supporting
the bill under discussion was to avoid
having children branded as indigents
where parents were not in financial
condition to purchase books.
Oregon is weighted down with
taxes now, and free textbooks would
be merely another load which would
be unbearable, according to Repre
sentative Kay of Marion county.
A bill providing for state printing
of school books and the sale of such
books to children at cost would have
the support of Representative Davey
he said, but he was opposed to the
tate purchasing books for children.
Teacher Opposes Bill,
Opposition to the bill was voiced
by Representative Fisher of Wash
ington county, the only school teach
er in the house membership.
There is some talk of recalling tin
Iil tomorrow, some of the propo
nents, including Senator Banks, the
author, claiming to have won a num
ber of hou.se members over to the
free textbook idea.

Washington Sheep Owners Declare
They Will Eliminate Middle- "

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Woolgrowers of Washington
ore planning to market their product
as cloth Instead of raw material, thus
eliminating the marketing charges of
middlemen, as the result of a report
made by a special committee com
prised of Dr. S. B. Nelson of Wash
ington State college and William tiis-
lop and R. A. Balsch. Spokane? Thia
committee, according to Mr. Hislop.
has made a report to Thomas, Drum
heller of Walla Walla, president, that
the plan is feasible and has been
worked successfully by woolgrowers
of some parts of Montana and Illinois.
"The plan, which we believe can he
handled profitably," Mr. Hislop said,
to contract with manufacturers
to mako the Washington wool into
cloth, and for the Washington Wool
growers' association to establish a
department for marketing the cloth
with the makers of clothing.
"We had some Washington wool
made into cloth in the woolen mill
t Washougal, and the experiment
was successful. The cloth was made
nto suits by local tailors and the
inished suits cost from $41 to $51
each. The cloth for these suits, how-
ver, averaged $12.60 a suit. At that
lme we based the cost of wool at 40
cents a pound, while the prevailing
price in Spokane is just about 12
cents a pound."
