UNIFORMITY OF TEXT BOORS
Queition of County Control Oomi Up Before
tho Board Today.
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. J. Peters wus appointed constable in
Boomer township nnd Henry Smith, lustlco

I13Pi;Tll3 LOOK TO SllKItlKl'.
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.

tho republican state ticket will bo prac
tically disposed of long before the con

fellowship now manifest In nil pnrts of tho
state will rosult In nn agreement with

A. B. Cummins and ho will bn tho cnndl

A meeting of politicians of tho city nnd

nil factional differences ought to bo laid

provided It could bo done without stirring

yet consented to bo n candidate, hut will
moot his friends later In tho week aud Is
likely nt that tlmo to Indlcato what course
ho will pursue. Ono by one tho others

II. W. Byers of Harlan had been considered
a possible candidate, but ho refuses to

NO CHANGES MADE IN THE MEASURE
FIkM on I'nrutnnllc Tube Service U
Abandoned to lie Hcnevfed In the
Semite Other Amend
ment it Defeated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. The postoftlce
appropriation bill, debate on which has
cousumed almost an cnttro week in the
house, was passed today.
Tho debate hovered nbout threo topics
railway mall piy, pneumatic lube service
and special fast mall facilities but it bore
no fruit. The amendment to reduce the
rale of railway mall pay was ruled out on a
point of order, tho amendment to continue
the pneumatic tube service in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia was ubandoticd,
with tho purpose of muklng tho fight in
tlu senate, nnd motions to strike out the
npproprlntlons for spcclnl mail facilities
wero defeated,
The Besslou was opened with n speech by
Mr. Moon of Tennessee agalust tbo special
facilities proposition. He said that if the
people of his district should deliberately
nnd knowingly Instruct him to vote for this
subsidy he would throw down his commis
sion nnd wnlk out of the house, (Applause.)
Mr, Fleming of Georgia, a member of the
Joint poBtal commission, favored certain
modifications and reductions in the rates of
railway malt pay. This closed the general
debate. Tho chair ruled the Joy amend
ment to appropriate $2GS,000 for pneumatic
tube service out ot order on tho ground that
the current law contained n provision
against tho extension or tho scrvlco beyond
Now York, Philadelphia and Boston.
Mr. Sctiddon of Now York withdrew his
amendment to appropriate $225,000 for the
continuation of tho scrvlco In Now York,
Boston nnd Philadelphia. He explained
Inter that he had taken this action to n''old
n posslblo adverse voto In the house, whl'jh
might complicate tha situation when tho
amendment wan offered In tho senate
Mr. Maun then Insisted upon his point ot
order against the amendment of H. C. Smith
of Michigan to reduce railway mall pay and
tho point of order was sustained.
Votlnir 011 Amendments.
Tho flmt voto wns tnkon upon the motion
of Mr. Iiurku of Texas to Btrlko out tho
appropriation ot $193,000 for special mall
facilities botweon Now York nnd Now Or
leans. It was defeated 73 to 123 nnd then
tho motion to strtku out the appropriation
of $2S,000 for special facilities between
Knusa8 City nnd Newton, Knn., was beaten
without division. The opponents of tho
appropriations for special facilities carried
tho light Into tho houie, where thero could
bo a record vote, but wero beaten by volt's
of 60 to 82 and 33 to 79 a.id tho bill was
passed,
Tho speaker lnld before tho house certi
fied copios of tho doctoral vote In tho sev
eral states, excepting thoso of Colorado
and Tennessee. Tho voto will bo countod
ut n Joint session of thn houso nnd senate
Fobruary 13. Tho speaker appointed Mr.
Grosvenor of Ohio and Mr. Rtchnrdson of
Tonnosseo to act as tellers on behalf of
tho houso upon that occasion.
Tho senate bill to allow travel pay to
certain ofllcers and men who ro-cnllstcd In
tho Philippines upon their discharge from
tho volunteor servlco waB passed.
Tho military academy bill nnd the bill,
for tho adjudication of tho SpnnlBh war
claims were sent to conference. Confer
ence reports upon the bills providing for
the nbolltlon of grnde crossings in tho Dis
trict ot Columbia and construction of sta
tions by tho Pennsylvania nnd Baltimore &
Ohio railways wero adopted.
Tho house then took up tho diplomatic
nnd consulnr appropriation bill. Mr. llltt,
chairman of tho committee on foreign uf
falrs, explained that the bill carries $1,80?,
808, being $88,830 less than tho estimates
and $37,610 moro than tho current law.
Without action on It the houso at S:2S p, m.
adjourned.
