SALIO.M, Die., Aug. i;."-ltui few
changes in the texts already nuihor
iv.ed In the public schools of Oregon
were made by the- state textbook cum
in ission which met for its final ses
sion here yesterday und let contracts
for two-thirds of the books to be used
during the coming year. Prices, how
ever, will range from It) to 70 per
cent higher for the same texts.
Records cif the stale superintendent
show that most of the books adopted
are already embodied In the state
course of instruction which means
that in thousands of cases pupils of
the public schools will not be required
to buy new texts.
Indicative of the high prices of
fered to the commisMon for new con
tracts was the New World Speller,
put dished by the World Hook t'oin
pany. In 1 J 1 ! the book was con
tracted for at 31t cents, while this
year the publishers demanded ,1i
cents. The prices secured by the
commission, it Is said, are no lower
than publishers offered to the state
department of instruction several
weeks ago and before the governor
ordered the special session of tho text
book commission.
Whether court action will be taken
to contest the act of tho commission
is problematical. The coininistdon met
contrary to (lie ruling of t he stale
attorney general, who held that the
body did not have legal authority to
meet at any other than the dales
specified by law, the next one of
which would have been in November.

meet' and adopt the books, however,
under uu opinion written for them by
Watson and Wilson, Portland law

code permitted and authorized emer

Mrs. New berry Overruled
Throughout the two-flay session

l he ground t hat the extra expense
which would result to school patrons
from the discard of old textbooks was

Moro than forty representatives of
publishing firms were pre sent and
were allotted five iriinutcs each for
argument in favor of their lexis. The
Increase In prices was just I fled by
them with (he pica (hat materials and
labor used In book manufacture had

Old Price lEeliiH'd
The meeting of the commission Fri
day was called by the governor after
textbook publishers hail refused to ex
tend expired contracts at the old
prices as contemplated under tho net
of 193, which provided for the atlop
tion of one-third of the textbooks
every two years. . One-third ot the
books were adopted by the commis
sion last November with the two
thirds remaining unprotected by con
tracts. To meet this situation Hie 1 leg
islature passed a law aut tiorl.lug (he
stale board of education to purchase
the textbooks nt the best prices ob
tainable. On the ground that the law
"played ino the ha mis of I he book

To seek a way out of this tangle the
fpJostioii was referred to the attorney
general of whether the textbook com
mission could meet lu special session
