Copper Tax Is Defeated

The southwest has its fight to prevent the in
clusion of special copper tax in the emergency
enue bill despite the earnest desire of large part of
the house of representatives consider copper
munition subject taxation.
The house had included copper taxation in the
enue bill which II passed, disregardng the protests of
various southwestern organizations and spite of the
earnest efforts Of representative Carl Hayden of Arr
and few others.
In the senate however the efforts of those who
wished to save the copper industry from wrongful
burden proved more effective Under the leadership of
the Arizona senators, fight successfully waged
that the provision stricken from the revenue BILL
and the bill passed There other changes in
the house bill which necesSiated sending the bill
passed by the back conference of house and
senate committees The house cOnerees gave notice OF
a determination to reinstate the copper tax They
abandoned it, however when informed the senate
ferees willing to abolish the stamp tax Removal
Of the stamp tax administration idea and house
leaders anxious to carry 1t out. The agreement
made accordingly and both the stamp tax and the
copper tax went BY the board.
Perhaps It was Just trade which saved the copper
industry from unjust but certainly less earnest
efforts would have been made in and had
not the commercial organizations of the southwest
opened the fight.

congress- has prevented fighting the issue along its
original lines So vigorous his attitude that the

Santa Fe president their leader.
Though the Adamson bill has been passed, and a
strike averted Mr.. Ripley determined still

court of the United States to obey its provisions 1t
his belief the supreme will hold the Law valid
In the meantime, he states, Santa Fe employee will
receive increase in wages. This sweeping decision
seems to apply to clerks elegraphes and mechanics
well as to the in the operating department. In
his opposition the situation is president
Ripley has gone to extreme in making employees
at all concerned in the wage controversy suffer equally
with those who threatened a strike.
1t is evidently Mr.. Rpley's purpose to create ma

IS right IN contendng that the principle of arbra ton

 Castner did not take the blunt inti- nation For the little distance inter- vening between the power company s new offices and the Niquoia building he tramped beside the young engineer Niquoia he would have gone his way if Brouillard had not said abruptly:
 "I gave you fair warning; I'm not looking for chance to play the Good Samaritan to anybody-not even to Stepher Massingale, much less Van Bruce Cartwright. The reason is be cause I have pretty decent backload of my own to carry.

 Castner accepted the implied chal- lenge soberly, and together they as- cended to Brouillard's offices. Once be- hind the closed door, Broullard struck out viciously.
 "YGu fellows claim to hold the keys to the conscience shop; suppose you open up and dole out a little of the precious commodity to me, Castner Is it ever justifiable to do evil that good may eome?'

The letter-which, after all, might contain nothing helpful-lin- gered on the way and the crisis. the turning point beyond which there could be no redemption iu revival of the speculative craze, had arrived.
 Breuillard took up the draft of the Washington telegram and read it over He was cooler now, and he saw that it was only as it came from the hand of traitor, who could and would delib- erately wreck the train of events 1t might set in motion, that 1t became a betrayal. Writing as the commanding officer in the field, he had restated the facts-facts doubtless well known in the department-the probability that congress would intervene and the hold the opposition was gaining by the sus- pension of the work on the dam. If the work could be pushed energetically and at once, there was possibility that the opposition would become dis ceuraged and voluntarily withdraw Would the department place the men and the means instantly at his dis posal?

 There is trouble threatening for the Cortwrights. Stephen Massingale is out and about again, and l was told this morning that he was filling him. self up with bad whisky and looking for the man who shot him."
