into the room on her left and sat down

A true-blue American constitution. one that protects every Individual and interest, will do more to attract capital and people to our state than ali the advertising We can do for the next twenty years.
 There is a sentement abroad that Arizona has populsitic tendencies; that We are opposed to railroads and corporations in general Such is not the case. and this is our opportunity to disabuse the public mind on this question.

THE CORPORATION TAX.

Senator CuiIom of Illinois has in troduced a resolution in the senate to suspend the collection of the corpora ton tax until Jan. l. 1911 The prin- cipal thing to be said about this B that it should have been done imme- diately following the announcement Of the supreme court that the cases in- v0ving the consitutionality Of this tax should be reargued. It is uEcer- tain. wih the desire of so many sena- tors and representatives to get away from Washington, whether this reso- lution wiH pass as it also has the op- position Of the president.
 We are witnessing a very peculiar situation. 1t has been figured that the treasury VIII receive s270OOOOO from this tax by July I. Some of the lead ing lawyers of the country are abso- lutely convinced that the law is uncon- saiautional. and that every dollar col lected under it will have to be refund ed to the corporations. President Taft  objects to postponement on the ground that if he cannot have this s27.OO0, 900 to meet the expenses of tho government, an issue of certificates O indebtedness VII be absolutely neees sary.
 The working balance of the treasury is now abous s15.0OO.OOO. and pay monts to be made following July will decrease this amount materially so that if the corporation tax is sus pended. an issue Of bends or certif catcs will have to be made to replen ish tho federal excheqGer. as the pres dent and his secretary Of the treasur have counted on the income from th cor7crat.ou tax to meet the heay drain during the month Of July.

THE COPPER
STATISTICS FOR MAY.


 copper statistics for May is not to be denied. A substantial decrease in the European visible supply was more than offset by an unexpectedly large increase in the American accumula- ton. During the first five months of 1910, the worlds visible supply has in- creased from Ss5.S7o.s11 lb. to 3ss.- sS,S73 ID. This assumes that the cop afoat from America, which ranges ordinarily from 10 to 9 million pounds, was the same in amount on June 1 as on Jan. 1. Although this copper is visible. it is not Included in the statistics
 Insofar as the reported visible sup ply is concerned, the statistics in- dicate that during the last five months  the consumption Of Europe and Amer lea has been little less than the sup ply. However. there is no doubt that the invisible supply has diminished in this country and perhaps also in Europe. and that actual consumption has consequently been in excess of the production. This idea. together with the probability that during the re- nlainder of this year there will be no great increase in production, has been the basis for such optimism respect ing the situation in copper as could be expressed. If. however. a reaction in commercial conditions in this country is going to retard our consumption of copper. the outlook Is ominous and the market cannot be expected to hold its own under a maintenance of the large production Safety will lie only in a eurtailment of production.
 Curtailment is indeed what ought to heve been inaugurated six months ago and what ought to be started now; not concerted curtailment that might be Illegal. but individual curtailment based upon the recognition that more copper is being produced than is im- mediately required. and that it is a poor policy to sacrifice resources for lower price than they ought to fetch This is an argument that should appeal especially to those producers whose cost is so high that no real profit is realized at present prices.
 We are inclined to think that some producers will be more disposed to consider ,his matter. now that there are lean times in the stock market There was untl resently an object in making 8 large production by mines whereof it was desired to distribute the stock. There might be no profit in producing copper, but the sale of stock yeilded a good profit to some persons interested. There is no longer any market to speak of in Wall street and State Street, and consequently we shall hear less of the wonderful pro fits that some mines are earning ol are going to earn. We are getting tc the point where promoters are think ing that they may have to work theil mines for what they are worth. Thb may even have a healthfuI reflex act ion upon the market for the metal E. and M Journal.
