SCHOOL PUBLISHERS LINE UP FOR BATTLE Proposition In to Ilr Submitted to the Voters nt tin Co inline Hlec tlou und Is IitUcly to Cnrry. County Superintendent O. J. McManus hns called a mooting of the county Board of Education for this afternoon In his offlco In tho court house to make provisions for submitting to tho electors of Pottnwattamlo county nt the annual school election March 11 tho question of county uniformity of school text books. Tho county Board of Education consists of the county superin tendent of schools, tho members of tho Ilonrd of Supervisors nnd tho county auditor. Pottawattamlo county is ono of thlrty threo counties in tho state which will adopt text books and give five-year contracts for 'tho supplying of tho samo this spring. The present contracts cxplro nt that time. Tho Iown law prevents frequent changes of text books, but in many of the districts In this county tho schools are using text books which nro now considered antiquated and not tho best adapted for tho needs of tho pupils. A Inrgc number of counties throughout tho stnto adopted five yenrs ngo uniformity of text hooks ami Superintendent McManus is of tho opinion that tho proposition which will bo submitted at tho coming school election throughout tho county will carry. In tho event of tho county adopting uni formity of text books, tho contract for supplying them will bo n largo one. Many of the school book publishing houses nro In tho Held nnd havo had their representa tives out skirmishing for several months. Tho awarding of the contracts Is In tho hands of tho county Board of Education. A representative of ono of the big book Iioubvs who Is hern looking tho field over said yesterday: "The contracts for tho text books for thn county schools means n merry war this your among tho publish ing houses, and tho competition will bo unusunlly sharp because of tho fact that so many school bopk houses havo como Into tho field tho lust flvo years. Thero la not, ns Is generally supposed, n trust or combination In tho school book busi ness, unless the American Book company might bo termed ono. But tho Amerlcnn Book company Is not now what It was in tended to bo. It was formed with tbo pur pose of swallowing up tho school book business of the country and was formed twolve years ago by tho consolidation of four of tho largest houses In the country. It swallowed up a number of its smaller competitors, but It could not gobble all of them. During tho Inst flvo years at least twenty different concerns havo coino Into tho business, and a combination of all tho companlos Is no longer possible. Thoro will be at loast twenty houses look ing for tho contract hore." The board nllowcd County Superintendent McManus $C0O in addition to his salary, tho same to bo In full compensation for clerk hire and traveling cxponses. Under tho aw tho county superintendent of schools Is ullowcd $4 for every day ho Is ongaged. Tho records show that ho draws from $100 to $108 n month. Tho board having learned that tho road hnd not been established, graded or mado ready for travel, rescinded Its action of or dering tho erection of a bridge over Honey Creek In Hock ford township. N.

Hp In to l'ny Tliein nnd I.nnic Stnudlnir l utility Dispute In Nettled, Under a new arrangement mado yester day with Sheriff Cousins by tho Board of Supervisors his deputies will now have to look to him instead of to the county for their pay. Tho matter of tho doputles' salaries hns been more or less a bono of contention between Sheriff CouslnB nnd tho board ever slnco tho former was elected to tho ofllco, but It Is thought that tho agree ment entered Into yesterday will now dis pose of tho matter satisfactorily to all con cerned. Tho law provides that tho salaries of tho sheriff and his deputies shall only Do paid provided tho fees of tho offlco are sulllclent. Whllo tho sheriff's odlco has enrned about fees sulllclent to pay tho salaries, all of these fees have not been collected and tho county hns held that the fees collected and not those earned must be sufficient to pay tho salaries before tho auditor can drnw a warrant In favor of the Bherlff or any of his doputles, The county holding to this Inter pretation of tho law has resulted In soveral of tho deputies receiving no Balary since last July, except thoso who draw n per diem aa court bailiffs. In order to remedy this stnto of nffalrs Sheriff Cousins yesterday submitted tho following proposition to the board: "In view of thn fact thnt tho fees of the ofllco earned nnd collected, togothor with tho bailiffs' fees now allowed my deputies. do not amount to n sum sulllclent In thn aggregate to pay the salaries of this office I deslro to submit to the board for Its con sideration tho fallowing proposition: "If tho board will allow me tho fees earned In this office during my term and pay tho bailiffs' salaries as is now dono I will tnko tho snmo In full consideration of nnd will pay nil salaries now bolng paid this ofllco by tho board, Biicb amount of fees to be retained by me Bhall not exceed In total amount tho sum allowed by statuto to bo paid thin ofllco." Thn board accepted this proposition nnd agreed to allow tho shorlff to retain all fees earned during his present term, provided thoy did not exceed tho amount now being paid him nnd his deputies. In caso tho fees exceed tho salaries tho shorlff Is to turn the balance over to tho county. This ar rangement hn to recclvo tho sanction of the deputies, so that they will walvo any tuturo claim they might havo on the county. Under the arrangement tho Bherlff Is to de potlt with tho county trcasuror, after de ducting his own salary as allowed by law, all fees and then draw the amounts out on warrant from tho auditor, The deputies signified their willingness to agroo to the arrangement, as, they now see some pros pect of receiving their pny.
