hoi-ls. The bill nun lost for lack
a constitutional majority of
thirty-one vote. The indications
are that an effort will be made
for its reconsideration tomorrow.
Conslieratlon of thin bill brought
about spirited debate, the support
of the bill h-inx led by Represent
atives Hlndman, Korell, Sheldon,
BurcUck. Carter, .win, Overturf
and Speaker Bean.
The opposition was led by Ilep
rcsentatlns Kny, Belknap, Davey,
Visiter, Roberto and Woodson.
Hlndman urged that this system
has been tried out in other states
and has proved successful, espe
cially in Iowa, Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey.
Speaker Bean declared the law
would bring the cost of school i
book down where they ought tn
be and would break the school
book trust In Oregon.
"Two years ago I introduced a
nimllar measure in this House,"
Bald Speaker Bean, "providing that
the state printer should print the
school text hooks, and there never
was a lobby so powerful In this

by bill.
Sheldon urged that the schools
should be free in fact as well a

book supply should not fall on the
individual parents any more than
the other school expenses,
Opponents to the measure urg
ed that many families would not
want Jlo accept tree text books,

paupers; that there would he clan

advantage of the hook trust, as
more hooks would he reiiuircd

house for further and final consid
eration. Just before the vote on
that hill was taken, the road dis
tricting bin, companion measure to
the Roosevelt highw ay hill. v. as
passed by a vote of 17 to 13.
Senator Robertson, who voted
for the districting bill, changed his
position when it came to the Roose
velt highway measure, taking the
attitude that while he was not
averse to the formation of highway
construction districts should the
voters Of anv selected area wish to
Incorporate themselves together for
that purpose, yet he was not In fav
or of the Roosevelt highway bil! in
its present terms and under present
conditions.
.Makes Maiiei.s Worse,
Tin- passage of the two measures
still further complicates the high-1
way program. While Senator Hall,
told the senate during his argu
ment in support of his measures
that "two members of the highway
commission had assured him that;
they were neutral," it is tin open
secret that Chairman Booth of the
commission is bitterly oppoied to I
the enactment of the ROosevdlt
highway measure at this time, con
tending as he did til an open hear-'
Ing before the highway committee i
that it would be unwise and against
the Interest ol the highway con
struction program.
It is also known that, while it
may be a fact that the other mem
bers of the eommislsbn are neu
tral" so far as open opposition to
the, bill is concerned, nevertheless
they do not favor its passa g,.' in
trutli and do not want to sec it
written Into the law.
Whin Will House Do?
Whether the house will pass the
Roosevelt hill is the instant puzxle
about the lobbies. It was the hous
