DEMOCRATS AGREE
To PREVENT THE
UNJUST TAX

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = The
democratic caucus has completed its
work and last week Senator Simmons,
chairman of the committee, reported
to the senate the revenue bill. The
chief fight in caucus revolved around
the tax on raw material that goes
into the manufacture of munitions of
war. The fight was led by Senator
Ashurst of Arizona, assisted by all
of the western and number of south
ern senators.
The bill as it came from the house
provided for a tax upon manufacture
ing all munitions of war and fur
Their provision taxing every person
smelling copper ore or copper con-
centrates in rising percentage upon
the gross receipts derived from the
sale of the product.
The senate committee struck out the
house provision with regard to cop
per and inserted tax of ten per
cent on any mineral or other material
which eventually went into the man.
ufacture of munitions of war;, 1t was
contended in the democratic caucus
that this provision would tax every
seller of mineral or material that
finally went into munitions of wal
and would go back to the very first
production of metals and other mate
rails.
The provision was finally amended
in caucus upon the suggestion Of
Senator Ashurst, limiting the tax tc
those directly selling material to OF
manufacturing material for the manu-
facturers of munitions of war and re
ducing the tax to five per cent of the
net profits derived from such sale tt
manufacturers of munitions.
This provision exempts all mines be
cause mines do not sell their produc
directly to munition factories. 1t Il
considered a great victory for ives
ern senators. The tax was limited t.
one year after the war is over. Mr.
Kitchin, leader of the majority in tn,
house, declares he VIII not stand TO
the senate provision and a bette
fight of the two houses when tn
bill goes to conference.
! Senator Ashurst's amendment t
allow the mines to Offset the entir
values of the ore taken out durni
the year, measured by it's value in tn
mine, instead of only five percent c
the value at the mine as by dedut
ton from the income tax figurin
the amount of depletion was adopted

SHANNON BUYS Up
TEXAS COPPER
GROUP

4 Douglas Gray, a well known mining
man of Tombstone, who recently took
over the State of Texas group of gold,
lead, zinc and copper claims in Monte
yuma canyon, Huachuca mountains,
from the August Baron estate, has
sold the property to the Shannon Cop
per company of Clifton. This prop
crty is considered promising pro-
Queer, and passing into the hands of
such a large company as the Shannon,
a large number of men will soon be
put on development work. j. w.
Eennie, general manager of the Shan
non, and Superintendent John Penn
/ berthy, of the Copper Belle, subsid-
iary OF the Shannon, are expected in
Tombstone within the next several
days to complete final arrangements
and begin unwatering the shaft. The
proper lies are situated about twelve
miles from Hereford and excellent
railroad facilities are afforded for the
shipment of ore.
The Exposed Reef claims, also in
the Huachucas, recently taken over by
= g.cup of individuals from Albert
Steinfeld, of Tucson, now has about
fifty men at work, according to Mr..
Gray, cleaning up the old workings
and pumping water preparatory to be.
ginning shipments of tungsten. 1t is
stated that this property contains the
largest body of tungsten ever found in
any one property in this part of the
country, and it will be worked solely
for this character of ore. 1t was first
discovered as a gold property, but de
velopment soon exhausted the vein
and it was abandoned.

THE METAL MARKET.

Copper is very strong and sales are
being made in good volume for deliv-
cry during the last quarter of this
year. For September delivery lake
and electrolytic are q IA to 81 "a
cents, and for the following three
months 26 IL to 81 cents per pound.
Practically all of the copper availa-
BILE for August and September de-
livery has been absorbed and the
few consumers whose requirements
are not fully covered may be oblig-
ed to pay considerable higher prices
or go without. Sc far as can be
learned, the ammunition manufacture
ers are using more copper now than
they have at any time previous.
The export movement continues
heavy and the foreign visible sup
ply is still decreasing. European
consumers, including the English
French and Italian governments, are
said to be negotiating for the pur
chase of 3OO,O00O00 to 500,000,0oC
pounds of copper for delivery next
year. 1t seems probable that this
will be supplied by the leading pro
ducers at around &c cents per pound
no disposition being shown to demand
q higher price than is consistent witt
prevailing trade conditions.
The largest volume of production
so far reached is being maintained
and the copper companies are doinG
everything in their power to suppl!
the enormous demand. There i:
nothing in sight to indicate tina
<. sumption requirements will be an!
smaller than they are now during thu
coming two or three years.

REPRESENTATION IN
PIMA COUNTY NOT
PERMITTED

TUCSON, Aug. %. Following the
denial yesterday by Judge Lockwood
of the, Superior Court of Cochise
county of a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the county recorder to change the
registration of James Chapman OF
Lowell, Arizona, from non-partisan to
Democratic, Recorder R. B. >Vinson
of Pima county announced that he will
abide by the decline to change the
registration of any person. In max
ing his announcement Recorder Vim
son contradicted story published yes
terday afternoon stating that registra-
ton could be changed in the future.
Il gave no one any authority" he
said s'to state that 1 had decided to
allow persons to change their registra-
ton at will. / stated some time ago,
and l desire to reiterate now, that l
will abide by the decision of the
court in this matter, Any statement
to the effect that changing registra-
ton will be allowed in this county in
the future is absolutely false"
The decision yesterday by Judge
Lockwood was based on case in
which James Chapman, who had reg
istered as non-partisan desired to
change his registration. Following
the refusal of the Cochise county re-
corder to grant his request Chapman
applied to the superior court for a
writ of mandamus to compel the Off
cial to accept the change. The writ
was denied.
In discussing the matter of the de.
cision Mr. Vinson stated that he did
not think it would effect the vote OF
the few residents of Pima county
whom he had permitted to change
their registration prior to the hand
ing down the decision. There are
about half a dozen persons 1 think,
said Mr.. Vinson last night, whom
have permitted to change their regis
tration. 1 did this at the instance
of Attorney General Wiley Jones who
gave an opinion several days age
suggesting that 1 permit changes tc
be made. In future however, 1 w1sf
to state positively that will abide
by the decision of the court in the
Cochise county case and will decline
to change the registration of anyone

Iron Is Greatest of All Strength

And this af- ter they had in some cases been doctor ing for months without obtaining any benefit.

You must take iron In form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want 1t to do you any good, otherwise 1t may prove worse than useless Many an athlete or prize fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron.

lieved that he is left handed, although, since being taken to the jail he has said at one time that he is right hand ed and again that he is left handed. A person in Putnam who has known him well for years says he uses his left hand in counting money and do- ing most other things where one hand plays a. part predominating over the other. This is of interest because the fracture of ElIiott's skull is on the left side of his head. In straining for sensationalism there has been an effort to say that Miss Pettis was so kind to Elliott that he may be excused for thinking that she cared for him. This is ridiculous. Miss Pettis never did any more than show courteous degree of kindness toward Elliott She never gave him, people who know say, more attention than teacher might show to a pupil and all the slush about sentimentalism in her relations with Elliott, which were purely of busi- ness nature, are too silly to be given any consideration.

PUTNAM MAN
FATALLY INJURED
Charles Jacques Knocked Down by
 Automobile.

Charles Jacques, 58 years old, 8 farmer of Putnam Heights, died at the Day Kinball hospital shortly after 10 o'clock tonight from a fractured skull received by being knocked down by an automobile from DeliS1e's garage about eight o'clock this evening. Frank Vadnais was driving the car and took the injured man to the hospital. Vad- nais was returning from Willimantic with a travelling man as passenger. He was coming up Pomfret street in Putnam and just as he got to Canal street, where 1t intersects Pomfret street, Jacques and Frank Smith. a neighbor started to cross the street. Smith saw the car coming and step ped back but Jacques kept on. The driver of the automobile steered his car to the left trying to dodge Jac- ques. Jacques kept on right in front of the car and just as it reached the sidewalk the right fender struck him knocking him down. His head struck the concrete sidewalk, fracturing his skull and causing other injuries about the face and head. The car made a complete semi i-circle and when brought to a stop was headed at right angles from the way it was going. It ran over the curb and sidewalk on Pomfret street and headed north on Canal street Vadnais was taken to the po- lice station where he was questioned by Capt. Joseph Ryan. and was then allowed to go Vadnais said tonight at Delisle's garage: 'T was coming from Willimantic as I reached the Putnam street laundry just west of Canal street was going about fifteen miles an hour.
