COPPER
COPPER Large Selling Agency Predicts 15t Cooper Within Two Weeks

COPPEH
 Large Selling. Agency Predicts 15c Copper Within Two Weeks One of the largest selling agencies of copper metal informs us that the price is firm at 14 1-4-3-S. We hear of one bid for. many million pounds above IA 1-4c, for consumption, not speculation which was turned down because agency didn't have the copper for the deliveries. required.
 In speaking of the metal situation, our informant states: While it is true that some small blocks of copper are being disposed of at IA 1-4c per the metal at IA 3-8, while others are out of the market entirely.
 ''The Copper Producers Statement, which will appear on the eighth Nof next month, should be a very favor able one, and I think it will show a reduction in stocks at least equal to, if not greater than, the November statement.
 The outlook for copper is very good, and l believe that within two weeks time we will see the metal sell ing at 15c per pound"
 Leading interests in the trade in- SiSt that the present price of the met al is based on the strongest possible fundamentals, and that there need be no fear of any reduction in the price of the metal in the near future, with production of the country sold two. and three months ahead.
 Fifteen cents for copper would not Interfere with consumption, but there is general desire on the part of the copper selling and producing interests to prevent metal prices advancing above that figure, and it may be that then CIV production coming forward in 1912 will be the remedy to prevent this.

WOMEN AND THE MARKETS.

Undoubtedly the expedition OF the
Housewives League to Washington Mar
ket was the initial experience OF many
of its members In purchasing supplies at
first hand. 1t was an interesting expert
ment, carried out with picturesque eff
feet and an eye to advertising value. But
it was more than junket into, an un-
known quarter of the city and a chance
for the women to listen to the Mayor and
generally boom their organization. Indi-
vidual members carried notebooks and
jotted down remarks about prices and
quality Of foodstuffs for comparison with
conditions at the grocery and butcher
shop around the corner from home
That indicated a serious purpose, fell
determination to make the dollar repre-
sent more purchasing power than at

get acquainted with the market. Per-

OVERWHELMINGLY FOR TAFT"

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / beg TO call your attention to the
portion OF remarks made by Colonel Roose-
welt at the Auditorium. Chicago. on the
evening Of March Il 1912. and published in
your paper lie said, in part:
In Colorado, outside Of Denver. i'm spite
OF every attempted trickery and foul play.
we carried a majority Of the delegates. but
we were beaten by tho most outrageous
methods in Denver itself by the Guggen-
helm Evans machine.
The total vote in our Republican State
Convention AT Colorado Springs March q.
1872 was SOS. out OF which Denver had l2S
votes. leaving 10 votes beyond Denver, Of
which number Roosevelt received 243 and
Taft 52S votes or over two to one I'm favor
of Taft outside of Denver.
The vote in the state convention was so
for TAFT and 93s for Roosevelt.
We had no contests OF any kind from
any county or precinct before the state con
city and county OF Denver was most har-
inonious In every particular. No contesting
delegates claiming election appeared before
our committee on credentials IN our county
convention. Therefore. solid delegation
from this city and county was elected for
Taft.
Knowing The Tribune, its reliability, at all
times standing for square deal empha-
sized, the Republicans of this city and the
State of Colorado very respectfully ask you
TO give this statement OF facts publicity In
your paper
The sentiment In Denver and the state is
overwhelming for Taft.

THE GOVERNORS STATES RIGHTS
BRIEF.

For every argument which the gov
ernors use in their brief filed with the
Supreme Court to show that restricting
state regulation of railroads so that 1t
will not interfere with federal regulation
of interstate commerce destroys the con-
troll Of states over commerce WITHIN
their borders another argument exists TO
show that unless the authority OF states
is thus limited the authority OF Congress
over interstate commerce is destroyed.
When state rates are lowered, as Mime
sofa was enjOined from lowering them,
either rates into that state from inter
state points have TO he lowered TO meet
them or the state has erected barrier
around itself, excluding certain articles II
interstate commerce which can no longer
compete with the same articles produced
within the state and subject 10 lower
freight rates. In the one case the states
really determine interstate rates ana III
the other the free flow of interstate COM
merce is interrupted. notwithstanding the
constitutional prohibition. In either case
the power of Congress over interstate
commerce is denied.
The question is. Which must yield fed
eral or state regulation. so that there
shall no longer he any room for conflict!
Which should he pre-eminent under our
system of government? OF which will
preservation of the full vigor best serve
the interests of the whole people?
States rights Of the sort which the
governors seek 10 set up deny and le-
stroy the rights of other states. 1t was
state. not the railroads and not the
federal authorities. that complained OF
the rates made by the Texas Railroad
Commission. which Disseminated against
products from places outside OF leXas.
Texas could only maintain such rights
as were asserted in that case by deny
ing the equal right Of Louisiana TO sell
in the Texas markets. Such rights as
those are inconsistent with our federal
New-York tribune., 1912-04-04

Of American policy. 1t must, OF course,
be recognized that to considerable ex-
tent the application Of the purport OF me
doctrine has been changed. 1t was origi-
nally, at least in the view Of this country,
intended for the protection Of the United
States. 1t has come to be more largely
for the protection of the other and
smaller American republics. The United
States does not, as matter Of fact, re-
quire such doctrine for It's own protec-
tion to anything like so great an extent
as 1t did In 1898. Some Of the other
states, however, do need It,.
Moreover, even if the other states did
not need 1t, or did not desire the enforce
ment of the doctrine, there would still be
enough of the original principle left to
warrant this country In maintaining 1t.
We are entitled to protect our own tran
uuillity, as we'll as our existence.

WANTS COAL OPERATORS STORY

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: WIN much interest ! have read your
news items concerning the possibility OF
a hard coal strike. When this seemed a
possibility news items appeared In many
papers from the coal towns telling us about
the prosperity of the miners. In your issue
Of to-day the miners say they earn about
500 annually under the present wage rate.
Disinterested scientific men say an income
OF at least 500 Is needed for the support
OF a family. This seems to show that the
miners ought 10 have more pay.
The operators respond by saying they
cannot increase the pay unless the consum-
ers pay more for coal. Why do the oper-
ators not state the facts to us? Why do
they not come before the public with state
ments showing the actual cost OF the
mines. the machinery, the wages, and the
profits which they make? Until they do
this the thinking public will not believe
the operators. because il is not a square
deal. either TO the miners whose earnings
the public knows. nor to the public, which.
they say. must pay more for coal II the
miners pay is to be increased. The public
wants TO know why the operators cannot
Increase the wages without increasing the
price OF coal The public has not forgotten
the Lawrence strike. in which the mill
owners said they could not Increase the
workers pay. Yet when the white light OF
publicity was turned on the mill owners
they hurriedy raised the wages OF the
strikers II the coal operators cannot in
crease the wages. why do they not trust
the public with the proof of their inability
to do do? WILLIAM l.. SAHLER.

THANKS FOR TRIBUNE SUPPORT.

Sir. I want to take this occasion TO
thank YOU for your editorial support OF the
Assembly bill introduced by myself relating
TO weights and measures. l would INFORM
Won that this bill has just been signed by
the Governor. II was the last bill to pass
inst a few minutes before adjournment AS
q matter of fact, actually ran with the Dill
from the Senate Chamber to the Assembly
Chamber. so as to get It handed down
from the Speakers chair that might move
a concurrence of the amendments made by
the Senate in time before adjournment
which occurred only few minutes there
after.
Should you see a demonstration IN the
state Department of Weights and Measures
Of how the public is imposed upon to-day
i'm the sale Of unmarked packages, etc, you
would be amazed. This law now Will force
Congress to enact a similar nationwide law,
as the New York market controls the atti-
tude and action Of most American manu-
factureIs. Similar bills have been defeated
I'm Washington for the last ten years; thus
the new law is farreaching. affecting as lI
docs every home and person within orr
state.
II is a bill to which have given attention
during the last six years, since my return
from Europe, where observed the working
Of such a law, and, therefore, I am deeply
gratified over It's enactment into law in TINS

support given to me by the public press ana
