SMALL PRODUCER
WILL SUFFER IF
METAL PRICE CUT

PHOENIX, Dec. 4.-Bringing into
prominence for the first time that it
is the leaser and the small producers,
with the miner and the workmen in
the copper products factories of the
east, upon whom the brunt of hard
ship resulting from decreased copper
production must fall, men who have
been here from all over the state the
last two days adjourned the sessions
OF the Arizona Chapter, American
Mining Congress, this afternoon.
Resolutions were forwarded the gov
ernors of the mining states, the chap
ters of the Mining Congress in these
states, and the departments and
departments and boards interested at
Washington in metal price fixation
and income tax law interpretations,
urging that the side of the industry
be considered which relates to costs
of production of metal, involving the
maintenance of the high wages which
are necessary to fair profit for the
workmen in the mining states. With
out the fair considerations by Wash
lngton of the costs sides, particularly
as relating to small producers, it is
borne in by the resolutions that the
maximum output of metal cannot be
secured, and that Arizona's loss of
metal on price reduction alone
would amount to more than 100000
600 pounds of copper the year.
A resolution sent to Washington
this morning and transmitted to the
various mining states through Amer
lean Mining Congress organizations by
the Arizona Chapter advanced the fol-
lowing recommendations of changes
in the tax law:
/ Elimination from section 2O7 of the
words "but in no case to exceed the
par value of the original stock or
shares specifically issued therefor" :"
the object of this recommendation be-
ing to do away with the favor the
law now shows to wildly capitalized
and, in many instances, purely wild
cat organizations, when the real aim
of the legislation doubtless was to put
the larger burden upon these instead
of upon the smaller operators, many
of whom will be wiped out by enforce
ment of the present Interpretation of
the law.
To strike out the words Eat the time
of such payment" in section 207,
which are particularly to the disad-
vantage of small operators, who are
debarred from any benefits from
money expended in exploration before
they make a mine.
To secure an Interpretation of the
words earned surplus" in section 297
to mean inclusion of the values of ores
and mineral deposits discovered and
developed since organization of the
company, and therefore to be reason
ably considered as invested capital.
Unless these constructions can be
secured, the mining industry will be
seriously crippled in it's most serious
part, the legs, which the small pro-
ducers represent.

Liberty Bond
Christmas

Urging upon the banks of Arizona
the necessity of continuing the work
of distributing Liberty bonds among
as many investors as possible, and
placing these securities in the hands
of persons who will hold them
through the war, Governor Campbell
has addressed the following letter to
the various banks of Arizona:
December 1, 1917.
My Dear Sirs-I am reminded by
the governor of the Federal Reserve
bank of the twelfth district that a
continued effort upon the part of our
bankers for the widest possible dis
tribution of Liberty Loan per cent
bonds is necessary.
Our government requires every dol
lar of new money available for the
purchase of it's bonds during the war,
and the real purpose of the Liberty
Loan campaigns is a distribution OF
these government bonds among in
vestors who will hold them during
the period of the war.
Officers and employees of all banks
are urged to constant effort in the
distribution of any bonds they have on
hand among residents of their dis
tricts who have not already invested.
1t is pointed out that the approach
ing holiday season may well furnish
an incentive to the purchase of these
bonds. Every effort must be made by
letter advertisement and personally
to prevail on our people to buy these
bonds as Christmas gifts to relatives
and friends, instead of the useless
offerings SO commonly made at that
time
l have assured the governor of the
Federal Reserve bank of the twelfth
district that the bankers of Arizona
will respond manfully to his appeal
With best wishes, am,
THOMAS E. CAMPBELL,
Governor.

ARIZONA BAKERS
GET LICENSES
DECEMBER 10

PHOENIX, Dec. THE office of
the Arizona Food Administration is
working out plans for the enforce
ment of the rules and regulations to
be placed in effect December 10, when
every bakery in the state using more
than ten barrels of flour month will
be placed under government control.
In explaining the scope of the new
regime and it's application to the bak-
ers of Arizona, Timothy A. Riordan,
head of the State Food Administra-
ton, said:
Standardization of bakers bread
throughout the nation was the first
aim of the presidents proclamation
placing the bakeries under federal Ii
cense. And the object of standardiza-
ton is to reduce the cost of public
baking and distribution, to reduce the
waste of flour and to limit the use Of
sugar and lard in the preparation of
bakery bread. By fixing the unit of
weight at one pound, and with a sta
bilized price of flour, the present diff
ferences in quality will tend to vanish
and for the period of the war compe-
tition will be reduced to a matter of
price and service.
There is nothing harsh or unjust
in any of these regulations, in that all
are placed on the same plane. Some
of the regulations imposed call for the
very things which the bakers have
long desired, but were prevented from
adopting because of competition. For
instance, investigations show that a
large portion of returned stale bread
for which the retailer was credited
was actually destroyed, and that the
amount of good wheat flour lost to
the nation in this one item has
amounted to more than a half-million
barrels annually"
The general rules which will go in
to effect in Arizona, with the licens-
ing of the bakeries summarized, are
1AIAOQ W P4O
1. Movement of goods to the con-
sumner in any but the most direct line
possible and with minimum delay
2. Licenses dealing in food COM
modities for the purpose of creating a
monopoly.
8. The destruction of bakery prod
ucts or the commission of other
waste.
4. The return of stale bread or
crediting the retailer for unsold bak-
cry products.
5. The manufacture of bread ex-
cept in 16 or 24-ounce units or multi
pies thereof.
In view of an apparent misunder-
standing, it was stated all applications
for licenses should be made direct to
the U. S. Food Administration, Ii
cense Division, Legal Department,
Washington, D. G.
