CITY TIRED OF THIEVES

Edward Butler late political
boss Of St. Louis, left q fortune Of
SIS. 100000. He made it oil in the
political game. largely from city
contracts.
In Philadelphia, where the
corrupt ring in control of
municipal affairs is under investi-
cation, there are . number of
millionaires who Rave never done
anything but hold city Offices. run
politics and take city contracts.
Thus in two typical American
cities we see how the politicians
make their largest profits.
In Philadelphia when a municipal
building was to be put up a
favored contractor was given
advance information. Of course
specifications were dawn up, but
they were generally 50 confusing
that bidders blunde red over them.
However, the man on the inside
understood how they would be
interpreted and knew that the
plans would be altered sub
sequentIy in such a manner as to
allow him to submit the lowest bid
and yet be sure Of snug fortune.
For instance the revision of the
plans after the award of the
contract would provide for the
substitution Of cheaper materials
blue stone instead Of granite and
pine instead of oak. On one job
the contractors profit was $50, 900
out of a total Of $125, 600 paid
him, and that was only one rank
fraud revealed.
4 Philadelphia now wants a clean
government; st. Louis is better
off than she WAS a few years ago 4;
San Francisco has just vot d
against official graft. Other cities,
persistently plundered for genera
tions, are turning to reform,
among them New York. There is
cause for qualification in the
general awakening of American
municipalities to their enormous
losses under corrupt boss and
gang rule.-Sacramento Union.

PRODUCTION OF LIME IN
THE UNITED STATES

One Of our practically inexhaust-
ible natural resources is lime.
The available limestone rock
widely distributed over the United
States can not be estimated even
in millions or billions of tons. II
is fact also that the more lime is
"thrswn away"-scattered over
the Ground-the better it is for
the country. Lime is great soil
renovAtor, and while it is b lieved
to have no actual fertiliizing value
in the sense Of being in itself a
plant food, it is a well known fact
not, only among farmers, but
among soil scientists that spread
ing it upon ths fields and blowing
under makes many soils more
productive by rendering available
the plant food they already con.
tain. Lime has also a great
variety Of other highly important
uses: in fact few mineral products
have so wide scope Of useful
ness.
A little more than half the lime
manufactured in the United States
is used as structural-in lime
mortars, Portland cement mortars,
concrete, gypsum plaster. and
whitewash.
Large quantities are also used
in the manufacture Of chemicals,
IN clarifying many products. in the
milling and paper industries. in
sanitation, in the smelling and
Timing industries, in sugar he.
manufacture, etc.
The total production Of lime in
1910, according to figures COM
piled by Ernest +. Burchard and
just given out by the United
States geological survey was g.
469.4l6 tons valued q $l3, 300, 200,
a slight decrease in both tonnage
and value as compared with the
figures for 1909. The average
price per ton in 1910 was 1898.
