COMBINE IN SCHOOL BOOKS Dei Moines Board to Lsj Evidence Before Grand Jury.

The local board claims that prices on school books sub mitted by tha American Book company, D. Appleton & Co. and Olnn tc Co. are all the same figure and that these prices are 25 per cent higher than the prices quoted by the same companies In Indiana, Oklahoma and Kansas, where tha atate buys the books through commissions. Iowa haa a uniform achool text book law. The 8tate Board of Educational Examiners constitutes a commission to pass upon school books, but tha local city boards of education make the purchases. There have been many allegation of trusts existing In the school book business, but so far as Is known this will be the first case in whloh any evidence will be aubmltted to a grand Jury, if the local authorttiea carry out their announced determination In that direc tion. ' In making the contract for achool books thla year tha Dea Molnea Board of Educa tion contracted for $12,000 to 115,000 worth and In spite of the efforts of the board to beat the prices down, the prices are claimed to be 20 to 28 per cent higher than In many ether atates. On the question of geographies It Is as serted by tha local board that they are charged 94 cents each, while in Kansas, Oklahoma and Indiana the price la 76 cents. The pooka are published In Boaton and tha freight rates are not a matter of consldera tlon.
