as has been done in previous years. The Herald runs a weather table showing comparison of temperatures and charges nothing for the publica- ton. The board though has to pay the telegraph toll.
 Several letters of inquiry and solici tation of aid for the furtherance of commercial projects between Cali fornia and the Mississippi river, were read and filed without action.
 The matter of board membership was again brought up and it was noted that there has been a slight increase of membership constantly of late, but the additions have not been as numer- ous as desirable or as they should be at this season of the year. It was de- cided therefore that the directors should continue the campaign of per sonal solicitation and for that purpose they will meet at the board room at 10 o'clock Thursday and call upon citizens as, a missionary body.

THE CEMENT QUESTION
Comment of a Seattle Paper on the
 Action of the Trust.

Speaking of the cement controver- sy brought to an issue by the Tonto enterprise the Seattle Post-Intellin- ger says:
 The protests of the cement manufact- urers of the country against the prop
 isition to establish a government fac tory in Arizona will hardly meet with
 any large amount of sympathy. For
 the purposes of large irrigation scheme it was proposed to erect an i'm
 mense dam in Arizona. Bids were ad-
 vertiseG for to furnish the cement
 needed in the construction or the dam.
 The cement manufacturers saw. or
 thought they saw, ar opportunity to hold the government up, and, there
 fore the bids, evidently COllusive. of
 fered the cement necessary for the
 purpose to the government at a figure which the government engineers claim
 ed was extortionate. The same engin-
 eers reported further that as the raw material for cement making was read fly obtainable in the neighbcrhoo9 of the proposed dam. there would be q very large saving if the government would make it's own cement. the say ing being more than sufficient to off, set the cost of the plant.
 The cement manufacturers. having failed in the attempt to swindle the government, now protest vigorously against this proposal that the govern ment make its own cement, and insist that the government should not com pete with private enterprise. The gov ernment is not competing with private | enterprise in this particular case. The government is simply doing what any | private individual would do under the 1 circumstances. Finding that through 9 combination of bidders, it is unable to i purchase needed material for it's uses at | q reasonable figure, it is proceeding to make the material for itself. The ce- | ment manufacturers have already | Overreached themselves.
 1 According to practically uniform eX- perience in the past, it is quite certain | that private individuals could manu- 1 fracture and deliver cement to the gov 1 ernment cheaper than the government | could make the cement for itself, and
 still the private manufacturer could make a fair profit. This was not a case
 of being content with fair profits. The l cement manufacturers wanted an ex- tortiCnate profit, out of all reason. ] Their avarice has overreached itself ] AHe SONSi iiiliSllI VIII HIdhS Us ONil 'S | ment. The cement will probably cost more than it would have done had the cement men been prepared to furnish material to the government at a fai1 profit; but it will cost very much less than it would had the government
 submitted to the proposed hold-up
 More than this. a very good lesson has
 been taught to those contractors who labor under the impression that the
 national government is fair game for eXtortion through a combination of bidders

HONOR TO GOVERNOR TAFT,

Governor Taft leaving the Philip pine islands and retiring from the of flee which he has held for three years. was honored by great parade which included not merely soldiers and office holders, but large delegations sent bv political parties and labor unions from the provinces. Twenty thousand spec tatOrs are said to have crowded the line of march. There was universal expression of esteem for him as man. universal thanks for what he had ac- cOmplished for the islands. and univer- sal regret at his departure.
 It is satisfactory to know that Cover nor Taft finds the progress the islands have made in the past year very rapid and that he looks forward to great prosperity in the future, providing only that the United States ofers more fla vorable terms for the admission of the Philippine products to it's markets. He told the Filipinos that they might eX- pect to enjoy T rapidly increasing par ticipatior i'll the administration of the government. but he warned them not to speculate on an independent self government until their schools were full of pupils and the masses had be- come better educated.
 It is to be hoped that Governor Taft's expectations for the islands will be re- aliZel. and that his successors will all ways be men who vii show the same spirit of self-sacrificing devotion to the 1interests of the islanders that he has shown.-ChicaGo Record Herald.
