Another bill, Introduced by Blan

commission to consist of four mem
bers to be appointed by the governor
with the stato labor commissioner
Bcrving as secretary, .with a vote, and
the state superintendent of public In
struction Borvlng as chairman of the
commission, but without power to
vote. The commission will be au
thorized to change text-books as often
as the county superintendents, by ma

DSTS similar to the above of Henry George, the great single taxer,
will be offered to many libraries throughout the country by the Henry
George library bureau. The life size bust In bronze was made by
Richard F. George, second son of the author of "Progress and Pov
erty," and was presented to the New York library. The bureau hopes to
present copies of it to as many important libraries as possible. The philoso
pher of the single tax was born In Philadelphia In 1839 and died In 1897, leav
ing a heritage of good deeds and noble thoughts for the benefit of mankind.
Henry George's beliefs have demanded widespread respect, and many will be
glad that his memory Is being thus perpetuated.
