The piece questions whether lower costs justify state publication, urging that if Kansas can provide equal books for half the price, the state should act, despite opponents who do not bear the expense.
The writer argues Kansas could save money by publishing its own school books, cutting costs by a quarter of a million dollars annually, and employing local labor. They warn of a powerful lobby from major publishers aiming to deter state publishing and claim Kansas has both the means and integrity to publish better, cheaper texts.
