fail to vote the bonds

They sold their power plant for $505-
000 and are now sueing in court for
the return of their property charg-
ing the council with bribery in its
sale notwithstanding that they re-
ceived a profit of approximately
$250000 for their franchise They
want it back Let's protect our city
and vote the bonds"
J F Cattron large property inter-
ests in Cushing—"I am in favor of
the bonds In the face of the fact
that Duncan Yale Mangum Ponca
City Winfield and about 30 other
cities have reduced their taxes thru
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties We are told by the self-constituted
"Taxpayers Committee" that it

OKLAHOMA CITY Nov 28—(IP)
—Definite announcement that he will
sponsor a free textbook bill in the
13th legislature was made today to
the United Press by Rep Nat Taylor
of Roger Mills county
It has been virtually certain a free
textbook law would be proposed but
no legislator had definitely said he I
would introduce the measure
"I intend to sponsor a bill for free
textbooks for both grade and high
schools" Taylor said "My bills will
Provide for a committee appointed
to complete tre content for the text
of these books
Copyright to State
"This committee would be composed
of the heads of the various depart-
ments of our state colleges awl
would serve without additional pay
to their regular salariei
"The copyright would belong to the
state and thus cut off the usual ex-
pense of paying authors for their
copyrights This committee would
meet yearly and bring the textbooks
up to date if this is deemed neces-
"I also favor the state printing its
own books and having a rehabilita-
tion' plant where used books can be
made over This can be done at
about half the price of a new book"
The state textbook commission re-
cently refrained from adopting new
text: because of the possibility of
the next legislautre passing the free
textbook law 1
Free school texts were indorsed in
