Governors Salaries,

Illinois is going to have the highest
paid officials in the country. The new
salary bill just passed by the legisla-
ture raises the salary of the governor
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, which
will make him the best-paid of Amer
lean governors.
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania pay their chief executives $10S
600. Massachusetts, and Indiana pay
$4,000.
Most OF the other states pay 5000.
Vermont pays the smallest guberna-
torial salary, the amount being $500,
or a clerks hire. New Hampshire and
Delaware are on a 81, 900 basis. South
Carolina pays $4,000.
Texas and Connecticut are $4,000
states, although Texas is more than
so times as big as Connecticut.
Georgia is in the $4,000 class.

METAL MACHINERY FIGURES
Census Bureau Issues Statement
showing Development of One
Line of Manufactures.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The census
bureau today issued a bulletin relative TO
the manufacture of metal working ma
chinery in the United States in 1905, the
total value of which was $32, 4OS, 766, which
is an increase of s7,670,s62, or 81 per cent, in
the value Of this class of machinery over
1900
The term, metal working machinery" is
defined as relating only to power operated
machinery for working metals, including
also the parts and small tools necessary
for the operation of the same. but does not
embrace machines or tools for use In the
hand trades
Lathes were the principal class Of metal
working machines manufactured in both
1900 and 1906, their value forming 1873 per
cent Of the total at the latter census. A
considerable decrease is noted both in the
quantity and value of lathes manufactured.
Although the number OF milling machines
manufactured in 1906 was slightly less than
In 1900. the value was considerably greater.
The reverse is true OF boring and drilling
machinery. which was of almost equal i'm
portance with milling machinery in the
value OF the product. The most marked
Increase shown for any class of metal
working machinery was for pneumatic hand
machines, the manufacture of which was
OF little importance in 1900, but was of
such extent in 1905 as to be entitled 70
| fifth rank among the products of this in
dustry. The number OF such machines
manufactured increased 12546. OF almost
twe-fold. and the value 81, SIS. 7s2, or over
eleven-fold.
slight decrease is shown in the pro-
duction OF planers, boring and turning
mills. and slotters and shapers. and an in
crease in punching and shearing machines,
grinding and polishing machinery, bolt,
nuts and pipe threading machines. and
steam power and drop hammers.
The bulletin says American manufacture
ers have been progressive in changing and
adapting their machinery to meet European
methods, with the result that American
made metal working machinery Is now 10
be found in almost every part OF the world.
American manufacturers have shown pro-
| gressiveness also in their readiness and
ability 70 manufacture special machinery
for use in new machine building industries.
This was true OF the manufacture Of bicy-
eies' and IL now true OF the automobile
