IRON AND STEEL EXPORTS
From the United States and Other
Leading Countries
1900 to 1911


The high record expectation OF
practically a quarter billion dollars
worth of iron and steel manufactures
from the United States in the calen-
dar year 1911 and of over l " billion
dollars worth in the decade ending
with that year has led the Bureau OF
Statistics, Department of Commerce
and Labor, to prepare a statement
showing the relative rank of the
leading nations in the expectation OF
that important factor of international
commerce.
The worlds leading exporters of
iron and steel, according to official
figures covering the latest period for
which statistics r available, are the
United Kingdom, Germany, and the
United States, with totals ranging
from a little less than 400 million
dollars down to about $50 million
dollars each. To these might be add
ed a second group of countries with
smaller totals, which would inclde
Belgium, Netherlands, France, Switz-
erland and Sweden. These eight
countries had in 1910 a total exporta-
ton of iron and steel of over one bill
lion dollars, or about s per cent of
the entire value of all merchandise
entering the international markets of
the world. At the head of the list
of exporters of iron and steel is the
United Kingdom, with a total, of 361
million dollars, exclusive of 16 mill
lion dollars worth of agricultural ma
chinery, manufactured in part from
iron and steel and by certain coun-
tries included under that title. Ger
many is second in exports of iron and
steel, with a total of 339 million dol
lars, in addition to which exports
of agricultural machinery aggregated
9 million dollars. The United States
is third, the 1910 figures being POI
million dollars for iron and steel and
81 million for agricultural imple-
ments. Belgium shows IS million
dollars worth of iron and steel, in
GLIDING agricultural machinery, ex-
ported in 1910, and France a total of
As million dollars, exclusive of IL
million dollars worth of agricultural
machinery. From Switzerland and
Sweden the exports of iron and steel
were, in the latest available year,
about Is million each, exclusive of
agricultural machinery, amounting to
nearly one million dollars in the case
of Sweden and about $4,000 in that
Switzerland.
While the United States thus ranks
only third as an exporter of iron and

DIDN'T THINK 1T WAS FAIR

Last week we published the facts
concerning the marriage of two sis
tiers to the same man, the elopement,
the return and the efforts made by
them to secure the release and to Gull
tivate the affections of the man who
had disgraced them or the mar whom
they had gotten into trouble.
This week we received an unsigned
letter criticising us for making such
things public, saying that it gave
the girls undesirable publicity and
that after all, lots of other people
are no better than themselves. The
writer asked that his, her or their
be published, but failing to
stand by the communication with a

WHO is THE JOKE ON?

When Mr.. Hawley was campaign
ing he roasted the Republican adj
ministration for loaning school mon
eys in large sums and in amounts in
excess of the value of the farms given
in security. This money, he said,
should be loaned out to the common
people in small sums to be used
where 1t would accomplish the great
est good, and not among specula-
tors.
One of the first loans that came
under his w administration was one
for s.. ]. Rich on his farm at Tyhee.
Rich applied for $1,000 and this was
granted, the law giving the board the
right to loan only one-third of the
value of any property given in Sc
curity. This shows that Mr.. Rich's
farm was considered by the board
worth 100000 or more, and Mr..
Hawley doubtless gave 1t his per
sonal attention" as he said he would
do all such things.
1t now develops that Mr.. Rich paid
taxes on this anne thirty thousand
dollar farm by Hawley's leash value"
method, and the price fixed by the
was $500. Mr.. Rich stands
pat and says the farm is worth $48,-
900, and if the assessor did mot tax
him enough, he, Rich, is probably
that much to the good.
There is also something of a cry
that others who had applications in
for smaller loans were not accommo-
dater because there was not money
enough to go round, and small won
der since the governor let Mr.. Rich
have as much as five or ten ordinaril-
ly apply for.

steel, her progress in that branch OF
commerce has been rapid, the total
exports of that class of articles having
increased from 1913 million dollars In
1901, to nearly or quite ESQ million
in 1911, and of agricultural imple-
ments, from II million to IS million
dollars during the same period. TAX
ing the period 1%90O-1910, the latest
period for which figures are availa-
BILE in the case of foreign countries,
the growth in exports of iron and
steel has been as follows: The Unit
ed Kingdom, from 271 to 361 million
dollars; Germany, from III to 339
million; United States, from 1870 to
201 million; France, from 81 to As
million; Belgium, from Al to IS mil
lion; and Switzerland, from II to Is
million dollars. In exports of ag-
ricultural machinery the United
States leads all other countries, with
a total in 1910 of 81 million dollars,
against 16 million for the United
Kingdom, 8 million for Germany, and
IL million for France.
The $50 million dollars worth of
iron and steel and 35 million dollars
worth of agricultural implements ex-
ported from the United States last
year found markets in practically ev-
cry part of the civilized world. Steam
locomotives and steel rails went
largely to Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Ar
gentina and Japan, where the rapid
development of railways enabled an
increased absorption Of those mater
ials from this country. Structural
iron and steel of American manufac-
ture is being utilized in increasing
quantities by most of the leading
countries of North America, as we'll
as in Australia and Japan. The farms
of Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Austral-
la, and New Zealand are requiring
increasing quantities Of American
wire. Our sales of electrical machin-
cry show a healthy expansion in such
markets as the United
and other European coun-
tries, as we'll as the newer communi-
ties of the western hemisphere. The
same might be said of sewing ma
and Woodworking machinery.
American cash registers and type
writer's are facilitating business in
offices scattered in every part of the
world-in France the United King
1om and Germany; in Canada, Mexi-
20 and Cuba; in Argentina and Bra
Ill; in India and Australia, and in
many other countries, nearly all of
hem showing larger totals In 1911
han in any earlier year.

VALE, LANSDON.

An exchange says that Bob Lans-
don, former secretary of state, is
again in the saddle assuming direc-
tion of affairs of the Republican par
ty in Idaho.
Either the exchange is mistaken or
the entire personnel of the Republican
party ought to be looking for clubs
with which to beat Lansdon's polit-
ical head off. The party has tolerat-
ed him too long already.

the editor of the Idaho Call, a Dem
acratic paper published in some news
paper office at Idaho Falls, the Sec

DR.. Mack is a nice fellow and we
believe Is a good game warden, but
his editorial effort does not impress
us as being worthy of very serious
attention. 1t is of the cheerful kick
and-stab variety, devoted almost en-
tirely to politics.

REMOVE IT TO BASALT

The city council should have added
another paragraph to the ordinance it
enacted Tuesday night relative to
%auctioneers. 1t should have provided
that all persons, firms corporations
or associations wishing to engage in
the selling of goods by auction or the
cutlery and bidding method, and mot
being able to pay the required IL
cense fee of $3.50 per month, shall
remove their business to Basalt, Ida
no, and recommended that interested
citizens wishing to participate in the
bidding or listen to the outcry, shall
first pass a physical examination be-
fore the city physician Ito be appoint
ed) before leaving for Basalt to join
in the acquisition Of goods, wares and
chattels.
Basalt is a flourishing town of
some hundreds of souls, less than a
mile from the railroad station of
Firth, it is incorporated, has business
houses, politics, religion and matri-
mony, and is far enough along in
commercial science to know that the
way to build a city is to bring as
much business as possible within it's
limits instead of driving it away.
Blackfoot has a couple of auction
GERS who have done much to increase
blsiness and the circulation of money
by putting waste or idle goods into
service, and every close observer must
have recognized this good but because
somebody came to town and went
broke after doing a few days auction
business, the council feels called up
on to prohibit any other people from
coming to town to offer goods for
sale where bidding is done, and they
prohibit local men from continuing
their chosen %avocations in the same
line.
Blackfoot is said to be a quiet town
and if the council continues to mani
fest such colossal wisdom as that
which is responsible for ordinance
number 1852, the rumble of the mail
cart will become the chiefest thing
to be heard, wheeling orders for
transmission to Sears & Roebuck, and
other persons, firms, corporations
and associations" that not only take
care not to pay an auctioneer's IL
cense, but keep far enough away to
escape the dray man and the tax col
lector, and leave local business men
more time to swat the fly"
For every mistake that is made
there is a remedy, and we suggest
that the remedy be speedily applied
in this matter, leaving, if they will,
the present prohibitive price for those
who stay only a month, but giving
the man who takes out a license for
the year, a rate that he can afford
to pay.

GOVERNOR CONGRAT-
ULATES SELF.

Governor Hawley has given out an
interview that is being widely copied
by the press of the state, some edi-
tors giving it space in praise to the
governor and others because it is
amusing to observe what the govern
or and thinks and says when his W
administration is the subject. Here
is what he says:
II am more than gratified over the
showing made by all the departments
in the state government during the
year that has just closed. l believe
that during the year past, there has
been more actual business and more
uniform administration than this
state has had before, and l do not
say that to be egotistical. We have
worked as n big business house in
the transaction of the business of the

matters are cause for him to feel
