which it probably will be. This
corporation is to spend about $780,
900. 900 in betterments during the
year, or in things planned and not
fully completed during the year.
And this is what our country
needs far more than government
owned steel plants. The indepen-
dent plants are altogether better in
every way, and the government,
instead of seeking to run its own
mills should aid in every legitimate
manner the growth and efficiency
of the big concerns it now has
within its borders. Canada is set
ting very good example on how
this should be done: 1t is encour-
aging its steel makers with bounties
and with duties on importations in
that line. We do not need the
bounties, but we do need the tariff
protection. Politically-operated
business was always expensive, not
comparing in efficiency with the
business handled by individuals
and where skill has been developed
through competition.
The Bethlehem Steel company
in the taking over of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel company, has added an
important concern and assured
itself of another large ore-produc-
ing property in Cuba. Bethlehem
is to spend $40 100000 in better
ments this year. Bethlehem is one
of the great ordnance makers of
our country, our Krupp, if you
will, in the production of fighting
material.
The Midvale Steel & Ordnance
company is another great gun
maker, and its absorption of the
Cambria Steel company gives it
much iron ore as the base for its
manufacturing operations. Some
of these ore properties are located
in the Lake Superior country and
it has in addition large ore ton
nages in Cuba that are as yet un-
developed.
The United States Steel corpora
ton secures all of its ores from the
United States, principally from the
Lake Superior producing fields,
and this ore is the guarantee of its
future. When it went into its
operations in big way by consoli-
dating so many concerns it was
wise to fortify itself with the iron
ore. FITS mining representatives
did great work for it in picking up
mines at low prices, and in no
other branch of its business did the
big corporation make so much for
the future as here. Mines were
low in price and some wonderful
bargains were made. The profits
on these mines alone will run into
the billions before the exhaustion
of the ore bodies contracted for
during this period of the corpora
tons existence. It was a wise
policy and insures the activity of
these great steel-making plants for
very many years from its own
mines without having to go into
the markets of the world for a
single ton unless it may be for
special ores for certain purposes,
and which means a very insignif
icant tonnage compared with that
annually smelted in the corpora.

selection of iron ore mines the cor.

On the republican side Mayor William
Hale Thompson and the candidates he is
supporting have conducted a bitter fight

wards in which republican aldermen have
opposed the mayors policies and now seek

added unusual interest to the campaign.
In public statement Mayor Thompson
asserted that forces representing liquor
interests are behind the movement which
is opposing his policies.
Large Vote Is Expected.
Six months ago the mayor issued an
order closing the saloons on Sundays.

On the democratic side the fight Is

employed to watch the polling places.
