The Iron Age reports that interest
has centered lately in the remarkable
business taken by the lake shipyards.
Orders were placed for II boats for
delivery at the opening of the navi-
CATION season in 1907. these including
four 12,OOO-ton vessels for the United
States steel corporation. In all, 81
new boats have now been ordered snr
1907, and the total on the books of
the lake shippers is 40. This means
an addition of 100000 to 100000
tons a season to the carrying capacity
of the Great Lakes. Midsummer buy
ing of unprecedented proportions Is
said to be indicated by the fact tina:
the United States steel corporation
has booked a distinctly larger aver
age tonnage in July this year than
was the case last year. The pig iron
market shows an advancing tendency
Foreign rail orders amount to from
10000 to $4,000 tons for shipment tc

would practically wipe out tAe de-
ficit.
Nobody denies that the regulations
governing second-class mail need re-
forming, and it is hoped that with the
aid of the new congressional commits
sion reforms will be brought about
Meanwhile the executive departments
in Washington are keeping tabs on
mail matter sent out from day to day.
A careful record will be kept of the
aggregate weight of letters and pack
ages mailed by all departments Of the
government from July l to January l..
Statistics show what this matter
would cost at the regular postal rates
will be ready early next year and will
be submitted to congress.
The figures ought to show how
much reason and how much clap-trap
there is in the outcry against second
class abuses"

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PAYS.

The New York sun. always the
obedient servant of the trusts and, in
consequence. a savage opponent of
municipal ownership, has been in
forming itself and its readers on that
subject with much profit.
Sunday the sun printed an article
concerning Port Arthur, Canada, a
city where municipal ownership re-
lieves the public absolutely of the bur-
den of taxation, which was one of
the clearest and most forcible argu
ments for common ownership of pub
lie utilities that has yet been ad-
vanced.
The facts about Port Arthur which
are given below are taken from the
Sun. They completely refute the edi-
torials on the subject previously
printed in that newspaper, and as
they are given to the public through
AN agency formerly extravagantly hos
tile to municipal ownership, the
reader may be assured that they are
utterly beyond dispute.
In the first place, there are no taxes
levied in Port Arthur.
The city owns all utlities-the
street car line waterwOrks, telephone
system, lighting plants-everything.
All these utilities are conducted at
"a profit.
There is, of course, nothing surpris-
ing in this condition of affairs. 1t is
so manifestly apparent that if the
people received the benefit of their
own franchises, if they reaped the vast
profits piled up by the gas companies,
the railroad companies, the telephone
companies. and other utility trusts,
the money now going to swell private
fortunes would flow into the public
treasury. and would enrich all the
people instead of the few.
But the Sun goes further than this
II tAp4dlllo Nllhl III L VI <hi Niiul FH'i ;
citizen takes a personal interest in al
the city enterprises-that the man or
the street knows to cent what each
plant is making, and is mine of in
formation on the subject of municipa
ownership.
In other words, each citizen feel
that the gas plant, the electric plant
the telephone and trolley line ar,
partly his own, and watches thel
operation as he would watch the con
duct of his private business.
With such a system graft is i'm
possible. No business man allow
graft in his own affairs any longe
than he requires to discover an
eliminate it, And no member of
community doing business as on
great company will tolerate graft, 70
he knows that the minute graft be
gins to enter into the conduct of pull
lie business he begins to be robbed.

LIGHT ON POSTAL ABUSES.

How much of the yearly deficit in
postal revenues is due to abuse of
the franking privilege will soon be
known with q fair degree of exact
ness.
It has long been the fashion Of
congressman who had no scruple in
burdening the mails with tons of
campaign literature and general mer-
hands in horror at the "abuse Of the
second-class privilege"
These pubic-spirited gentlemen
have assumed after what has seemed
a superficial examination Of the facts
that a correction of the "abuses"

Telephones that used to cost $S6 a
year now cost S24, and residence tele-
phones cost $12.
An additional source of revenue to
the people of this municipality owned
city is its water power, which it owns
and rents to mills and other manu-
factories, In fact, nothing goes to
waste. only the stores, shops and
purely private businesses are private
everything included iir the plan of
municipal ownership-upon which
campaigns will soon be made in all
the great cities of the United States.

reports pertaining to the water supply,
and the effect of the mill dam on the
stage Of water In the gravel beds. One
OF the affidavits was from Superin-
tendent Mack who expressed his belief
that the water supply viii be jeopa.r-

tails Of the water supply. was also filed

of stock at $3.50 per share to be fully
paid with an additional pledge of $40
per year for five years after the cur
rent year of 1906 if necessary to meet
the expense of maintaining an annual
fair. This plan made the maximum
possible cost for the term of five years
$685. This was later changed to the
one most Of You signed, making the
shares $50 each with 40 per cent pay

than two shares at cost of $65. Six

failed or refused to come in under the
