IRON AND STEEL OUTPUT.

1--WE do not recall that any general
estimate has ever been made of the
value of the product of the iron and
steel industry. on a basis of computa-
ton familiar to the trade. yet such a
study is not without interest says the
Iron Trade Review. There are, of
course, census reports. but such reports
do not usually draw the limitations as
they would be drawn in the trade, and
beside this there is no recent census
report which would measure the indus
try as it stands today.
Complete statistics for the 1908 pro-
duction are not available, and in any
event it is more interesting to make

THE STREET PAVEsIENTs.

Those new rules and regulations laid
down by the city council which will
compel plumbers, contractors and 9TH
ers to properly repair -~h portions of
the pavements of the streets as they
find it necessary to tear up from time
to time will go into effect on July 1.
They are to be rigidly enforced and
that will be a great, good thing for
maintaining the pavements in good
condition and it will also be respecting
the rights of the property owners who
have expended their good money on
these desirable and necessary street
improvements.
But these new regulations will not
affect the existing holes in the pave
ments which have already been created
by negligent persons who have torn up
pieces of them in times past and failed
to repair them in anything like an
| adequate fashion. There are a thou
sand such holes, according to the city
| records on this subject. Some of them
are worse than others but all of them
are bad enough and the longer a pave
ment is permitted to be used with holes
and breaks in it, the sooner will it be-
come worn out.
Mr.. Rogers, the city engineer, has a
plan for the repairing of the existing
holes and breaks in the pavements He
would have the city do the work either
through contract or the medium of the
street department and it is his idea
that this work should be done imrne-
diately so that it could all be finished
by the end of this month. So, when
the new regulations in regard to the
repairing of pavements go into effect
all of the pavements in the city will be
in the best possible condition. These
+ new rules will then protect the existing
pavements and the new ones from fur
tIler depredations, because they give
! the city authorities the necessary pow
er to compel the repairing in a proper
and substantial manner Of all pave
ment that may be torn up.
| This plan of Mr.. Rogers would ap-
pear to be an excellent one. The exist
| ing holes in the pavemen will have
| to be repaired sooner or later by tine
city if the pavements in which they are
located are not to be destroyed quick
| ly. And why not have this rc-airine
done now? It's e~nense will be nothing
as compared with its value and Their
on July l the city will start off with g
clean slate, as it we're, in respect to its
street pavements. All of them will be
| in good condition and under the new
regulations on the subject it will be
possible to keep them so.

COMMISSION RULE POPULAR.

In view of the fact that Topekans
are soon to have the opportunity to
decide by their votes whether or not
this city will be conducted in the
future under the commission form of
government, brief editorial review
on the progress of this movement in
Kansas and the prospects for it's more
general adoption which appeared re-
Gently in the Kansas City Star cannot
fail to be of interest. 1t follows:
"It is evident that practically all
the leading cities in Kansas will soon
adopt commission government. The
absolute success OF the plan in
Leavenworth has left no doubt in the
minds of those who are interested in
good government as to the efficiency
and feasibility of the new system, and
plan has been given a thorough test
municipalities Kansas City, Kan,
will vote upon the adoption of the
plan next month and there appears
no doubt but that it will carry by a
very large majority.
''In Topeka Mayor Green has sent
out petitions for the calling of an
elecuon 10 adopt the plan there this
summer and the business men are
giving the movement their hearty
support. Wichita has already
adopted the commission plan.
Among the smaller cities of the
state. Ottawa, Lawrence. Salina and
Cherryvale are agitating the question,
while Independence. Hutchinson and
Anthony have been operating under
commission government since May 1.
'And there is nothing surprising,
either, in the fact that Kansas should
lead in the movement FOR a modern
form of municipal government. In
no state in the Union are the cities
more progressive or enterprising, and
cities of that kind appreciate the adj
vantages of a municipal rule that in
Sures a do-something civic policy.
at must be remembered also that
Kansas has eliminated the saloon and
the saloon statesmen, and thereby re-
moved one of the most aggressive
enemies of commission government.
Next to the franchise grabber the
saloon views with alarm any
municipal rule that promises to keep
its brand of statesmen out of author
ity in civic affairs"

The writer of this has had unusual
opportunities for studying Arabian
horses, having lived for years where
thesc critters abounded. There were
more genuine Arabians in that place

their breeding was above criticism,

Their ancestors Travelled the desert

they inherited soft feet, and the hard,
stony soil of the United States lanes

three hundred years of acclimatization
they might have good feet, but they
are not worth the experiment, as they
are too small. Their diminutive size is
the fatal objection to the Arabians in

300 pounds is exceptional and that is
too small a horse to gain popularity in
