O. Skinner and Secretary of State George S. Myers, held another meet- ing on Thursday of last week. A resolution offered by Secretary Myers was adopted by the commission set­ ting forth that the maximum price for textbooks fixed by the commission need not be followed or used as a criterion by school boards throughout the state; that said figure is merely a maximum beyond which school boards and textbook commissions could not go. In addition thereto the resolution recited that the text book Commission urged all boards of edu­ cation to purchase all textbooks as cheaply as possible and that the Text­ book Commission “ offers to the boards o f education all possible aid in secur­ ing the minimum prices consistent with the production of high class text­ books.” However, immediately there­ after on the question of fixing the maximum prices for school text­ books Mr. Skinner, Director of Edu­ cation, made a motion that the maxi­ mum be 75 per cent o f the list price. This motion was seconded b y .Gover­ nor White. Secretary Myers moved to amend the motion and to fix the maximum at 50 per cent of the list price. ' Myers supported the amend­ ment while Governor White and Di­ rector Skinrter voted “no.” There­ after the original motion for 75 per cent was carried, Governor White and Director Skinner voting “ yes,” while Secretary Myers voted “ no.” The Supreme Court of' Ohio on Wednesday of last week made ruling in three cases involving referenda on three separate acts passed by the Ninetieth Genex-al Assembly. One ruling held that the Mosier-Lawrence act was not subject to referendum. However, this case may be carried tc the Supreme Court of the United States. In another action filed against the referendum oh the road patrol bill and transfer o f the Bureau o f Motor Vehicles the Supreme Court sustained Secretary o f State George S, Myers in his instructions to Boards, o f Election, that the. signatures on referendum petitions must be written by the signer himself but that the ad­ ditional information, if not written in by the signer could be filled in by another. This ruling helps to pre­ serve to the people the right of ref­ erendum on laws • passed by the General Assembly. In another ref­ erendum action it was sought to re­ strain the Secretary of State from placing on the November ballot the said acts creating the road patrol and transfer of the bureau of motor vehicles to the Highway Department: In this action the -Supreme Court overruled the demurrer filed by At­ torney General John W. Bricker but the case has not yet been heard on its merits. An answer is to be filed by the Attorney General on behalf of the Secretary of State in the near future. The decision to be rendered in this case will materially affect the right o f the people to make their own laws and will perhaps be the most far reaching o f any decision by the Supreme Court since the new Con­ stitution was adopted in 1912.
