because it might prevent states now wet from going dry, and indefinitely postpone nationwide prohibition.
 Distillers and whiskey dealers, on the other hand, were vigorously Op- posed to the measure. There are at this time, Representative Shirley of Kentucky declared during the debate, more than 22S,000,060 gallons of Whis- key in bond in the United States, and 40 per cent of such liquor has been sold heretofore in partially dry terri tory. Under the amendment concur red in today all of this must be sold in absolutely wet territory, probably, he argued, at great loss. iMr. Shirley made a futile attempt to amend the proposal by extending for one year the time when it will go into effect. This move, like all others looking to the amendment of the provision, was overwhelmingly defeated.
 Many States Affected.
 In several states the measure will anticipate action by the state legisla- lures.
 Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington all have "bone dry" laws already in operation, or to become effective shortly.
 Utah has enacted such law, effec- tive August 1, month after the date the appropriation bill is to become effective.
 The legislatures of Kansas and South Dakota have sent "bone dry' bills to their governors for signature.
 Bone dry' measures are pending, with some prospects of passing, in Colorado, Iowa, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina and Michi- gan, and "bone dry" regulations for Alaska has already been favOrably re- ported in congress.
 GeOrgia's governor has announced that in the event of the failure of the Reed amendment to carry he would call a special session of the state leg islature to adopt measures prohibit ing the importation of liquors into the state.
 Of all the Southern states, liquor can be sent, under the Reed measure l concurred in today, into only four 1 Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Ken l lucky. These, with about score oi local option states, are in no way affected.

Advocates of prohibition divided among themselves over the eXpediency of the step, some friends of the cause declaring that so drastic law would have reactionary effect. In the same way those who have opposed prohibit tion were not unanimously opposed to the measure when the vote was taken. The roll call brought cheers and cries of 'bOne dry" from all parts of the house, and the result was greeted with a noisy demonstration.
 The vote was 32l to 72, but a re- check of the roll call changed it to 319 to 72. Party lines were complete ly broken down, and numerous rep resentatives from prohibition states were recorded as voting in the mega tive. So large vote is seldom re- corded on any measure.
 A provision barring liquor adver- tisements from the mails into all states that prohibit such advertise ments is included in the measure which came before the house as a rider to the annual postoffice appro- priatiOn bill, inserted by the senate last week on motion of Senator Reed by a vote of D to II.
 Although the bill will go to confer ence because the house disagreed with other senate amendments, there is little possibility that the prohibition amendment, which was concurred in Members of congress are taking il for granted that President Wilson will approve the measure.
 1 May Be Effective at Once.
 Although some members have given it as their opinion that the "bone dry and other features added to the apprO- priation bill will not become effective until July 1, the effective date of the appropriation carried by the bill, sena- tors and representatives who are con- sidered authorities on such matters said tonight that all the legislative riders, including the Reed prohibition amendment, undoubtedly will become operative as soon as the president has 1 signed the bill.
 Dry advocates were jubilant tonight Representative Webb of North Caro- i lima, father of the resolution for { national prohibition cAnstitutona amendment, declared that the over whelming vote had "killed' the state's rights argument, and that the nationa amendment already reported favorabl! certainly will pass the house at thi session.
 The national legislative committe' of the Anti-Saloon league issued ; statement, saying that this act hat cleared the decks for the nationa amendment"

Copper Mining in Chile

Mine operators in Chile are not dis
.urbed BY the threatened imposition OF
an export tax on minerals, according
70 f. s. Basin, of the United States
Geological Survey, who recently re-
turned from Rancagua, Chile, where for
eight months he had been studying the
geology of the Braden copper proper
ties. A Chilean commission is at pres
emit engaged in studying conditions TO
determine the ACCESSIBILITY OF imposing
EXPORT taxes While it is Impossible
10 forecast the decision, Mr.. Basin
saws that there is no apprehension felt
by the mining industry; the policy OF
the Chilean government in encouraging
investment in the industry is too well
established 70 allow any shortsighted-
ness in the matter Of taxation.
Despite the great difficulty in OBJ
tanning supplies the production Of cop
per from the Braden mine is being
increased materially. Work is also
progressing rapidly on the new smeit-
cry and on a large fume for the devel-
opmcnt of hydro-electric power, as well
as on the tunnels which are being
driven to permit tailings disposal IN an
adjacent valley. 4 plentlluI supply OF
efficient labor is said to be available.
The difficulty in securing supplies
from the United States is stimulating
the manufacture of many articles in
Chile.
A geological department was also or
ganized by Mr.. Basin for the Braden
company and has been placed in charge
of Leroy lie Due, who will carry on the
geological work Systematically as the
development proceeds. Mr.. lie Due re-
ceived his geological training at the
University of Chicago. A geological
examination of the Chuquicamata mine,
in Northern Chile, was also made by
Mr.. Basin during his stay, in associa-
ton with Professor Waldemar Lind
gren. of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology.

serve bank whenever by so doing it is
possible for him to more adequately
respond to the needs Of his patrons.
! There is no better security in the
world for bank to handle than the
sort of commercial paper that is
available for rediscount at the Fed
eral Reserve banks. The rediscount
facilities of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN have scarcely been tested as yet,
and thousands of banks do not know
what it means to rediscount their
paper. There are apparently good
grounds, therefore, for the sugges-
tion made by an interior banker
that each Federal Reserve bank
should send an officer to visit all the
banks in its district so as to inform
them respecting the advantages of
the rediscount system. In no other
way apparently will it be possible
to bring the country banker out of
his shell and instruct him in the only
double-quick way of converting a
commercial note into a credit upon
the books of the Federal Reserve
banks. And this credit provides cash
whenever the country bank cares to
take it.

Prohteering in Germany
