August Was Record
in Cement Industry
Present Condition* Indicate Sub
stantial I'all in Demand
Demand for Cement
All records for the production
and shipment of portland cement
were broken In August, according
to figures Just issued by the t'nited
States Geological Survey. Several
times this year people who have
been in doubt as to the productive
capacity of the cement industry,
have had their guesses shattered by
the way the industry has kept p.ice
with demand. Production during
August was 12.967.000 barrels, an
increase of 350.000 barrels over
July, the beet previous record, and
1.300,000 over August last year.
Production for eight months ending |
August 31 was nearly 88,000,'0.00
barrels or more than was produced
in any one of the entire years 1915,
191S or 1919.
Shipments from the mills during
August were only slightly under
15,000,000. or more than 600.000
vlous month. Shipments for the
first eight months of this year
were nearly 91,000,000 barrels or
more than 19 per cent greater than
ever before.
Although shipments exceeded ?
production during August by1
a/)out 2.000.000 barrels, the stocks j
of cement in manufacturers' hands I
at the end of the month were some
what greater than Vast year and |
amounted to slightly over 6,000,
000 barrels.
fc*r sent conditions Indicate a!
substantial Till demand for cement !
so returns for the full year should !
be fare beyond any previous exper-1
lence. Building permits issued "in j
August show a substantial Increase!
over last year. There Is a very
heavy Volume of building now un
der construction and prospect* for
winter construction are considered
good. Many highway official"
have expressed a determination to
complete this year's road building
programs so the amount of ce
ment ' consumed in concrete pave
ments will undoubtedly be greater
than in any past year.

DAIRY PRODUCTION
IS BEING DISCUSSED
World's Dairy Congress in
Session at Wa*l>iii?ton,
Chief of Agricultural Eco
nomics Speaks.
Washington. Oct. 3.?Dr. H. C.
Taylor, chief of the Bureau of Ag
ricultural Kconornirs of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, addressing the.
World's Dairy Congress here today,'
declared establishment of dairy pro-]
? duction In hnth?hemispheres had]
done away to some extent with the .
periodical shortages which had re
sulted from easonal changes in the j
northern Hemisphere.
Citing the vast growth of inter
national trade in dairy products,
and pointing ouf that the Ameri
can Imports of cheese practically
btllDCt exports of butter, con
densed and evaporated milk and
other similar products, he declured
"the outstanding points of signifi
cance are the development of dairy
ing in certain countries of the
?QllthTn hemisphere, the attendant I
prominent place obtained by these'
countries in the world's Internation- '
I al trade, and the general decline!
'of Canada and the United States as |
exporting countries."
Improvements in transportation,
he said, have affected both quantity !
and quality of dairy shipments and |
refrigeration has made possible the
transportation .of fresh milk over
great distances. It has come about,
he added, that the price received
for dairy products in any one coun
try now is determined by conditions
of supply and demand the world
over.
"More than 20.000,000,000 lbs.
of milk " paid Dr. Tnyfor. "were re
quired during the past year to pro
duce the butter, cheese and pre
served milk that entered into the
international trade of the world.
I Fifty years ago the total Interna
tional trade in dairy products
amounted to about onc-o?urth Its
I present size and consisted of ship
ments to England of butter from
Denmark and France, of cheese
from Hollan dand Switzerland, of
cheese from the United States ami
ol butter and cheese from Canada.
In the pa?t 25 years, dairying has
been developed in New Zealand.
Australia and Argentina and these i
countries have come Into promt
r.cnce as oxportlng countries. Pen- 1
mark. Holland and Switzerland I
have become increasingly impor
tant. Russia attained an impor
tant place in exportation of butter
Just prior to the world war but is
i.ow entirely out of International
trade and Canada'has become n,
lesser factor as an exporter of
cheese but holds an important place
In butter exports." ,

when the meeting was called to or
It was expected that the tariff du i

would come In for discussion during
the sessions, which will continue to- ,
"'"Mr^Hagenbarth said In part:
??It must be our function In the

ly manner to the attention of the
rresident, and to the Tariff Commis
sion. and even to Congress and Its
nuraoniiel -wlien necessary.. tin- nn
derlylng facts wlilch make for pros

mlt the selfishness of human nature

for the purpose of giving voice to

together. Our motto must be that or
Alexander Dumas' 'Three Musket
eers.' 'One for all and all for one. j
"!.et us approach our problem :
with respect for our opponents and |
with due regard for the right. We ;
are here to permanently organize
the Western Tariff Association. This
association, which we Sh a "perfect.,
will servo as a medium for the prop
er presentation of facts before the
Tariff Commission in Washington
whenever any group of our organiza
tlon. or any Western product. Is un
der attack. We hope to.demonstrate
effectively and permanently to the 1
Commission the commercial and eco
nomic faeiors Involved, and as affect
ing the West.
??Congress In its wisdom passed
what was known as the emergency ,
tariff measure and. I might say, in
passing thift this measure came
nearer being a non-partisan measure
than anv tariff measure ever passed
hv Congress. I.ater on. in the sum
mer of 1922. the Fordney -McCumber
tariff act was passed after niiny
months of arduous consideration or
the various new problems involved.
It was freely predicted that this
measure would stop the flow of Im
ports into and exports from the I nlt
e<l Stales. As shown by the record
up to date, a contrary result has
been accomplished. The stubborn
facts 111 the case show that a pros-'
perous America was enabled to bu,
generously frrfm an Impoverished
Europe, notwithstanding the so
called high tariffs impored by the 1
art The revenue derived from ih'
net lias been a surprise to even its
niort ardent champions nnd this rev
enue by the way has com'' at a time
when it was sorely needed by tlie >
American taxpayer.
"Opponent;! of this provision
charted that it was unconstitution
al: that if the Tariff Commission and
ll.e President could be elven author
itv to lower or raise the tariff 50 per i
cent, they could be given authority
in like manner to rnl*e if or lower
It VI per cent. Thus dolnu away en
tirely with the constitutional provl- |
slon that taxes and the raising of
revenue should be solely a function I
of Cnm-reps. Other opponents saw a j
grave danger In giving to any body
of men the power, virtually, to raise j
or lower the values of production
and industry in this country to the
? \t?-nt of billion* of dollars annual
ly. Otht rs again ?uw that such a
provision would mean a constant un
it lint; and instabiltt v of business.
Th? y cSainnd that if if was had to

who saw tin* apparent necessity. in
vi? v of the alarming conditions of
for?dun exchange, for some port of
a th xible provision, were desirous
that it be limited in its operation for
one year, or two years at the most. |
"Notwithstanding all of this oppo
sition. the plastic provision was tin
ally written into the law as it now
stands, and now It is contended that
the Tariff Commission, by the rules
and regulations which it has adopt
ed. is violating the spirit, if not the
letter of the law. The commission
has apparently seen fit to ro con
strue the law that it has authority to1
initiate movements to cliarige the
tarifT without a preliminary hearing.
This, the law does not contemplate.
"It is with much temerity that I
presume to criticise any act of the .
TarilT Commission,_or any act passed
by Congress. However, our after- j
sight is better than our foresight, i
The actual operution of the law. as
ft is apparently proposed to be ad- !
ministered, gives the Tariff -Commis
sion arbitrary rights over the values
of property, which must give us 1
pause, and cause us to stop, look and [
listen. President Coolidue has said i
MJIve administration a chance to
catch up with legislation.' In the \
t.r. s. m before the ink Is
fairly dry on the Fordney-McCtimhor~
tariff act. agitation has begun for
the reduction of tariffs. It is a sin- \
gular coincidence that complaints for1
reductions up to date which have
been filed with the commission are
leveled principally at agricultural
products and so-callod raw mate
rials.
