STATE TEXT BOOKS
Taxes arc piling up they will bo higher next year that
this and yet there Is a strong movement on to hnvo tho state
go into tho business of publishing text books for our public
schools.
There may bo some business that Is more risky than the
publishing business but if so we tho not Informed as to Its
nature.
To produce books with correct, undisputed and vorlfled
text, and containing good clear illustrations, nil neat and tnsty,
printed on tough paper and bound substantially to withstand
tho wear and tear of school usage, is a Bpeclal lino of business.
Private capital has succeeded in this line, and Is producing In
American school books-a prodtict of which civilization can bo
proud. If thereare mistakes and losses, the publisher stands
the expense.
Why load this special business on the taxpayer?
Do we walnt the politicians, the boosters and tho school
teacher with a pull to write what Oregon children Bhnll learn?

(Ashland Tidings.)
Is there a business man in Ashland or a firm thnt has
turned down a cash sale ofc$100 during tho past month? Tho
Ashland Tidings has done that very thing. Tho Tidings has
, turned down a chance tofseli $100 worth of space for cash.
No member of the Tidings force would havo suffered financial
ly or morally had we accepted the advertisement offered. Yet
It was turned down. The Portland dailies will run Blmllar ads.
Magazines which you take into your homes will run similar
ads, It may be slightly quixotic, but the Tidings and, we aro
happy to say, a great proportion of the small city papers of
the state, did the same. We refer to dvs. of certain California
wholesale liquor houses who are building up a mail order busi
ness In Oregon.
