Show I 1 THE PROVO Roy Stewart Famed for His Love of Horses WBnsrlHIe (SaflUedl j (SeimemiO: In 1824, an English mason wanted to produce a better cement than any then in use. lo do this' he burned finely ground clay and limestone together at a high heat. The hard balls called clinker that resulted were ground to a fine powder. . When a mixture of this dull gray powder 1 with water had hardened, it was the color of a popular building stone quarried on the Isle of Portland off the coast of Eng" land. So this mason, Joseph Aspdin, called his discovery portland cement. That was less than one hundred years ago- - Portland cement was not made in the United States until fifty years ago. The average annual production for the ten years following was only 36,000 sacks. Last year the country used over 470,000,-00- 0 sacks of Portland cement. Capacity to manufacture was nearly 600,000,000 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1923 POST Union Pacific Taxes $36,306 A Day There is probably no finer all around horseman and lover of horses In the motion picture industry than Roy Stewart, Universal Western star although he has never been known as the distinct cowboy type. In his youth Stewart spent much of his time on the famous Santa Marguerita rancho, one of the biggest and most famous in the west After the style of vaqueros of the southwestern cattle country, Stewart acquired a taste for beautiful saddles and bridles and eventually procured one of the finest looking outfits in the country. He utilized this equipment for the first time before the camera in The Love Brand, his latest starshowring vehicle for Universal, now sadThe theater. Princess the at ing dle is silver mounted, carved in beautiful Spanish design, and the bridle is also extravagantly, though beautifully, decorated with silver The outfit is very valuable, but Stewart never figures its value in dollars and cents. He wouldnt part with It at any price. Stewart rides his own horse, a beautiful thoroughbred, in the play and other principals in the cast also from his famous stables, ride horses ' although dozens of horses were available for atmospheric players at the Santa Marguerita rancho. Supporting Stewart in the play are Margaret Landis, Marie Wells, Arthur Stuart Hull, Wilfred North, Sydney De Grey and Boris Korloff, m Union Pacific System taxes practically trebled between 1912 and 1922, or from $4,668,875 to $13,251,552, Our 1922 taxes amounted to $36,306 a day. This would box cars every day or a modern have paid for 17 freight or passenger locomotive every other day. Union Pacific Sy stem tax payments sijice 1900 have been as follows : ' all-ste- el WBK- t Fiscal year ending June30. Calendar year ending December 31. Union Pacific System taxes for 1922 consumed 6.87 cents out of every dollar of gross earnings and 27.03 cents out of every dollar of net earnings. Total taxes paid by all railroads of the United States in 1922 were $304,885,158, which was almost as much as the cost of digging the Panama Canal. Taxes exceeded, cash dividends paid by the railroads in each year! since 1917, or the entire expense of running the United States, Government in 1916. They amounted .to 5.4 per cent of the entire gross earnings. Railroads are the largest tax payers in many states. In some counties railroad taxes equal one-ha- lf the total. Some of the tax money provided by the railroads is used to build and maintain highways on which trackless competitors operate. Some of these highway transportation routes serve as feeders for the railroads, but in most cases they take tonnage from the rail lines, and the taxes levied on the railroads and their trackless competitors are often unjustly apportioned. Senator Borah, speaking in Congress last December, said : It will be very difficult toreduce freight rates if we continue - sacks. , . Cement cannot be made everywhere because raw materials of the necessary chemical composition are not found in sufficient quantities in every part of the country. But it is now manufactured in 27 states by 120 plants. There is at least one of these plants within shipping distance of any community in this country. To provide a cement supply that would always be ample to meet demand has meant a good deal in costly experience to those who have invested in the cement industry. There have been large capital investments with low returns. In the last twenty-fiv- e years, 328 ce- ment plants have been built or have gone 'through seme stoge of construction or financing. 162 were completed and placed in operation. Only 1 20 of these plants have survived the financial, operating and marketing risks of that period. Xfcei r capacity is nearly 30 per cent greater than ti e xterd rs ileitand.
