BOARDING PUBLIC MONEY.
Manson Journal


There is no occasion to pile up
lot of money in the various treasures
so that someone can tell how sound
the finances of a state, county or city
are. Enough is just as good as
million. Some years ago it was the
policy of the Manson school board to
have a surplus Of several thousand
dollars on hand but of late they have
only levied enough to carry them
thru the year, believing that 1t
was better for the people to keep the
money in their own pockets until it
was wanted, than to pile 1t up in the
treasury. What is more, no one has
made any objections to the change.
What is true of local affairs is true
Of larger ones.
The opponents of Governor Cum
Minis have insisted that he should be
blamed for the lowness of the state
treasury If he was to have credit for
the reform laws that were passed
since he became governor. Even this
is not a tenable proposition, for the
very good reason that the reform
laws were passed. largely because the

WITH WHAT WILL We BUlLD7

The retarding effect ON the future
result from the constantly diminishing
supply of lumber unless some substi-
tute for wood as building material can
be made available, Is evident to any
one who has given the subject thought.
or the various materials which 1t has
been proposed to use for this purpose
cement is at this time the one that
gives promise Of most nearly taking
the place of the lumber which has
become exhausted largely because OF
the mistakes and recklessness Of those
to whom our forests have been in
trusted.
Business blocks. dwellings and
bridges already constructed bear evil
dence Of what may be expected Of ce-
ment after the still further depletion
OF lumber has taken place. The dis
covery OF deposits necessary to its
manufacture are considered as a
source of rare wealth TO the locality
in which they are found According to
recent report Of the United States
geological survey there have within the
past year been ninety-four plants To-
Gated in twenty one different states en-
gagged in the production Of Portland
cement tifty-two plants in fourteen
states producing natural cement, and
ten plants in eight states, puzzolan or
Stag cement.
In the production OF Portland cement
Pennsylvania leads all other states
with product of 2O,393.965 barrels,
valued at $40, 69S.o0e. New Jersey
ranks second, Indiana third, with Mich
igan and Kansas fourth and fifth. 1t Is
estimated that il all the kilns now IN
existence were to be operated at their
full capacity, Portland cement could
be produced at the rate Of 100000
barrels per month, or 60,000,00O per
year.
Owing. it is thought, to the recent
financial conditions, the cement pro-
duction of 1908 will not greatly ex-
coed that of the preceding year, but
the universal satisfaction with which
its use is meeting, the necessity OF
some substitute for lumber, the FREE
uuent discoveries of material entering
into is manufacture, and the willing
ness Of capitalists to invest money
for the erection Of the necessary plants
all Indicate remarkable impetus in
the cement industry Of the near future.

NEW ETHICS IN FINANCE.

In these days of Hartman finance ii
is refreshing to hear a man as large in
American business as Mr.. A. &c. Bart
lett, OF the wholesale hardware firm Of
Hubbard, Spencer. Bartlett & Co, Of
Chicago, enunciate such doStrines of
business ethics as he did before a
gathering Of business meu in Mar
shalltown. Mr.. Bartlett believes that
lines of railways the rebate was an
honest and helpful method Of saving
the shipper from ruinous competition
with some other shipper on a Compel
ing line of road, yet in these days OF
railway consultations the usefulness
OF the rebate has passed away and he
is one OF the great captains of indus
try who welcome government regula-
ton of rates.
But more important in his code Of
ethics Is the view that a director in a
corporation becomes the trustee of the
money of the stockholders He actu-
ally startled his audience when he de-
clared that director had no right to
use his inside information of COM
pany's office in purchasing or selling
its stock to or from other stockholders
less fully informed. He insisted that
the director of a business corporation
becomes trustee of funds as much
as the trustees for a college endow
ment. Such ethics IL applied to mod
ern dnance would precipitate a. BUSH
