LOWER RATE ON CEMENT

1t was officially stated last night
that the Southern Pacific railroad has
reduced its rate on cement from the
high price of rs cents to the fair price
of 35 cents per 100 pounds from Mis-
souri, river points.
This is righteous deed that will
meet with appreciation in this city.
Los Angeles is almost continually on
the ragged edge of a cement famine.
Building here is so rapid and on such
an extensive scale that the building
material market is kept awake nights
trying to supply the demand. And in
view of the quick reconstruction work
in San Francisco, there were grave
fears that building in this city would
be retarded, if not stopped, by the
scarcity of material-partlcularly ce-
ment, for which the demand is always
greater than the supply.
The action of the Southern Pacific
railroad will tend to bring in large
quantities of this much desired ma
terial and will help forward the pros
perity of this city.

RUSSIA'S CRUCIAL PERIOD

It would be folly to attempt fore
cast of results from Russia's parlia-
mentary experiment which was inau-
gurated yesterday. State policy in the
cars domain has latterly become as
variable as a weather vane. 1t has
been so changeabe. in fact, as to excite
ridicule in outside diplomatic circles.
The parliament is composed OF two
branches, one ostensibly representing
the people and the other representing
the monarchy. The popular branch is
nominally similar TO the British house
of commons, and in some respects the
other branch resembles the house Of
lords. But there is a string connect
ing both houses with the throne The
ozar's hand win clutch that string,
and from the throne the proceedings
OF parliament will be controlled. Nom
inally the parliament win be a CO.
ordinate branch of the government;
really II will be just what the mon
archy wishes it,to be.
The turbulent scenes in ST. Peters,
burg preceding the asesmblage Of the
parliament are ominous OF trouble. The

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY

Here is another striking evidence of
the fact that Southern California is the
district. par excellence, for the Ameri-
can beet sugar industry. One of the
largest beet sugar companies in the
east, located in Dodge county, Neb.,
has just gone into the hands of re-
ceiver. The plant cost $1,277,000 and
was bonded for 100000. A dispatch
says: Failure of the beet crop to prop
erly ripen last year has been given as
the cause of the trouble"
The uncertainty of climatic condi-
tions in the east makes the growing
of sugar beets there an extremely haz-
ardous venture. The industry is profit
able in the United States in favorable
circumstances. but the enormous Euro
pean crop of beet sugar allows of no
great risks in competition. Even in
face of the import duty of nearly one
cent a pound 95-1OO) the United States
imports more than 100000 tons of
sugar annually. The entire beet sugar
output of the United States is only
about 100000 tons a year The out
put of Germany is 1000, 900 and of the
rest of Europe nearly 100000 tons.
Southern California is the only Sec
tion of the United States that affords
ideal conditions for the beet sugar in
dustry. The major part of the sugar
consumed in the United States might
be, and ultimately will be, produced in
California.

AN EARTHQUAKE PROOF CITY

The leading men in the work Of re-
constructing San Francisco are giving
due consideration to the peculiar geo.
logical formation underlying the city
and adjacent districts. The consensus
OF opinion among biologists on that
subject is accepted as n basis Of action
in the plan Of rebuilding. While nc
repetition is expected OF an earthquake
so violent as the recent one It is
deemed a wise precaution to heed the
suggestion Of scientists. The faulty
formation below being recognized, II
Is the part of wisdom TO guard against
future seismic trouble to the fullest
possible extent.
e. II. Hartman, who is one Of the
most earnest workers in the task Of
rebuilding San Francisco. has been ex-
pressing his views freely for publica-
ton on his record journey from San
Francisco to New York. The clear
ness of his business judgment, as at
tested in his phenomenal success as a
railway manager, makes his expressions
on the subject especially interesting.
Mr.. Hartman says: "It is fortunate
that the construction of many large
buildings was only in contemplation;
their erection can now be pursued with
the assurance of substantial construc-
ton" That is equivalent to saying
that architects, contractors and build
ers will use every practicable means to
overcome the geological defect in sub
terranean structure.
In following this fundamental idea, as
explained by Mr.. Hartman. the sky
scraper will be barred. He says: "Under
the new laws all buildings will be re-
constructed under requirements which
will prevent indiscriminate erection of
faulty structures" Furthermore, "the
height of the buildings will be restricted
to one and one-half times the width
of the street"
Assuming that the building policy
thus outlined will be adhered to strictly,
San Francisco's tall structures will be
confined to the Call and Chronicle
buildings now standing and such as
possibly may be erected where street
widths permit. This restriction may
detract somewhat from the imposing
aspect of the city generally, but it will
be recognized as a wise safeguard.
And, as Mr.. Hartman concludes,
when San Francisco is rebuilt no ma
terial damage by any earthquake need
be feared"

small use to argue the case. The gov

ton and given very good reasons for
his course. We must do the best pos

When the noise and crash of the earth
quake
Ceases and troubles no more;
When the smoke and flame of the

Die down, and their rage is DER;
When the hungry and naked and weary
Are sheltered and soothed and fed;
When the wearied are tenderly cared

And reverently buried, the dead;
When the rush and roar of rebuilnding
Gives birth to a city anew;
And, phoenix, like. San Francisco
Dons rosemary instead OF rue;
When the stress and the struggle of
living
Drop back to their usual plan
Give pause, D Golden Gate city,
Heed the regular army man!
He came to your confines, a stranger,
You cared for him little at all;
Till hell overwhelmed you in terror.
Who first heard your piteous call?
He paused not for fire or for temblor;
No danger made him hesitate;
He grappled the full situation,
ana StOou DetWlNt you anu your idte'
The man of the regular army.
Has saved you from deepest despair;
He knew neither fear nor fair favor;
Your life was his one, only care.

When the historys made known by

Will be writ of the real army man!
