The market closed higher.
(By Thomson & McKinnon)


That we are in the midst of a general
price-cutting movement becomes more
evident daily, as new announcements arr
made by various corporations.
Today some additional motor companies
have been added to the list and there can
be little doubt but that there will be no
change in this respect until this move
ment has run Its course.
The only trouble at the present time Is
that there are very important lines that
have so far given no indication Of their
policy on this point, notably the steel
INDUSTRY.
1t is essential that price revision should
take place in order that cost of prOduc-
ton of manufactured products shall be
kept within limits that will permit rea-
sonable profits and in the midst of such
a situation, it hardly seems likely that
investors will become very enthusiastic
about acquiring larger holdings Of indus
trial stocks.
It therefore seems more likely that we
will for the immediate future experience
Just such irregularity as we have had
lately, though short covering viii give US
substantial rallies now and then.

PROGRESSIVES
OF ARIZONA TO
BACK HARDING

PHOENIX, June 25-"I am going to
support Senator Warren G. Harding
for president and l am confident that
every true progressive in Arizona will
do the same" declared Capt. ]. L. B.
Alexander, former Bull Moose leader,
today. Though Harding is of the
conservative type, he is a clean-cut,
aggressive, and withal big man, just
the kind to head the business admin
istration which the country so sorely
needs today He is another Mckinley
and there isn't anyone who can say
anything against him and make it
stick"
Captain Alexander is loud in his
praise Of the Arizona delegation to the
Chicago convention for sticking to
Wood through thick and thin
3"They went there to express the
wishes of the people of Arizona" he
said "They might have switched their
support to some other candidate but
that would have been disloyal to the
republicans at home They took the
only loyal course and they are to be
commended for it. They stayed with
Wood until there was an overwhelm
ing majority for Harding and they
they showed their party loyalty by
voting to make his nomination unani-
nous.
Alexander IS confident of repubii-
can victory in both state and the ma
tion. The people are tired with the
dictatorial sway of Wilson," he said
They demand a change, while here
at home they are becoming weary of
seeing the same names and the same
faces in public office year after year.
AS result there is going to be a
clean sweep of democratic inefficiency
all around
Senator Harding will carry Ohio by
at least 100000 and win the electoral
vote of that state even though Gov
ernor Cox should be nominated at San
Francisco, is the prediction of Allan
b. Jaynes, republican national com
mitteeman, just back from Columbus,
where he went following the Chicago
convention.

SAFETY FIRST

BY William M. Wilson, office boy,
general office Anaconda Copper Min
ing Co., Red. Dept, Great Falls, Mont.
Midst the shot and the fire, the hell
and the flame,
When our soldiers in France were just
winning their fame;
When below the ground trembled,
above the shells burst,
The highest of discipline was obey
Safety First.
In the trench, in the shell-hole, in a
dugout so small,
There was not much protection-or
any at all
And the hour at zero, or the fighting
the worst,
The highest command was, "obey
Safety First"
Now, around the converters, or under
the cranes,
Though you're ever so busy with
Drawn or with brains,
1t may save great expense, OF ride
in the hearse
If you only take time to obey Safety
First.

COPPER IN WAsHTuBs
Thousands of Housewives Are Great
ing a New Outlet for the Red Metal

Boston-In it's issue of May "a, the
Chicago Evening Post has an inter
view with William A Paine, of Paine,
Webber & Co.. who stopped at Chi
cago on his way west to make an in
spectiOn trip of some of his mining
properties. We quote as follows:
"The lowly Washtub, after ages of
plebeian service, has come into it's
own according to Mr.. Paine, ".and is
now cutting quite figure as one of
the chief mainstays of great indus
try The four-dollar a-day laundress,
hard to find and fussy when found,
has driven tens of thousands of house
wives to put aside the fragrant hand
lotions to which they are accustomed
and substitute suds. Machinery has
come to their relief and a great new
market has been opened.
Il was amused to learn from west
ern manufacturer, that, next to the
automobile manufacturers, the max
ers of washing machines are now the
greatest consumers Of copper. The
utility companies, which in normal
times are large users of copper, can.
not buy much now because they can't
get the money. But washing machines
are being turned out by thousands, in
an effort to meet the shortage Of la
Dor, and the attractive and durable
copper machine is the best seller
This demand, with the heavy pur,
chases of automobile makers, has had
All Important part in the depletion of
surplus stocks Of the metal.

SNAKES? OH, NO!
ONLY JAkE,'S new
SPARRlNG PARTNER

One prominent young man, who had
been legitimately delayed ia his arriv-
ing at Ray at an earlier hour parked
his car in front of Steinfelds and
ambled on his way to the hotel. He
had just passed the storehouse when
he saw something crawling across the
sidewalk toward the old building
where Rays Cash store gave up the
ghost. This was at 2:3O a. M His
thoughts were of Hayden at the time,
as he had left the dancing pavilion
where the crowd presented a beauti-
full picture, and, naturally, when the,
reptile crossed his path, he rubbed his
eyes to make sure he was not SOM
nambulator. He stopped, looked once
more. Yes, there was no question
about it. There was the snake Could
the heat have affected him? Had the
excellent lemonade, of which he par
took at the dance in Hayden, really q
spike in it, and had he dissipated to

collectible? What was he to do? He
could not go to sleep until the mys-
terry had been probed. Surely our
genial deputies would have no objec-
tion to adding new laurels, so he en-
listed their support (and, incidentally,
brought down on himself their WRATH.
When he returned with Sam, no
snake was to be found. The return
ing salesman looked at Sam, Sam
looked at him. Neither spoke. Looks
were sufficient. Both went their way
He was up at his usual time next
morning. Immediately after break
fast he hastened to Steinfeld's. Ap-
parently, those in the place had moth
ing unusual to excite them. All
seemed normal Would he tell them
about it, and have them give him the
same look as the deputy? No, he
would not. He would solve the mys-
terry himself. He would engage some
of the employees in chatter and keep
his eyes open. Presently, he was re-
warded. Holy smoke! Was he see
ing things again? This time it was
broad daylight; he had witness to the
fact that he saw the snake. Jake
otaiger came forth holding it aloof
and looking at it with admiring eyes.
He was stroking it's back and fondling
it as would have Cleopatra. The sales
man used his every effort to restrain
fmself He wanted to grab it and
runA with it to Sam. Should he dis
turb Sam in his peaceful slumber?
Would Jake give up his pet and
friend? Would he be. able to put his
hands on it and carry it? No! he
would watchfully wait Presently
Jake came up to him and admiringly
called his attention to his pet bull
snake isn't he a, Beauty? Look how
fat he is! Best ratter in the coun-
| try! The mystery was now solved.
The salesman proved himself to be a
good sport He told the story He
| bought. His added thoughts became
normal A little later in the day he
questioned Jake and elected the in
formation that, in addition to be being
J a good ratter, Jake used him for a
sparring partner in his shadow boxing!
You are wondering who the salesman
is. None other than our good citizen

DRIVE ON THOSE
WHO FAIL TO PAY
income TAX, Plan

The following statement is issued
by Collector Of Internal Revenue AL
fred Franklin:
In this, as in every other section
of the country, there will be conducted
during the next two months an in
tensive tax drive for the collection of
delinquent sales and other misceI-
laneous taxes, such as the so-called
luxury tax, the soft drink tax, the ad-
mission tax, the manufacturers tax,
the tax on jewelry and works of art,
and the tax on toilet articles and pro-
prietary medicines. Reports of lax
ity on the part OF dealers and other
persons responsible for the return and
collection of these taxes have reached
the bureau of internal revenue from
many sources.
ITO remedy this condition, Com
missioner M. Williams has assigned
to the work of investigation It's spe-
cial revenue officers. These men
will compose flying squadrons which
will visit every large city in the Unit
ed States, cooperating with assistant
supervisors and field deputies. The
total force numbers 1000.
THE drive will be under the imme-
date supervision of collectors of in
ternal revenue, and is expected to re-
suit in the collection of millions of
dollars in delinquent taxes and pen
alties.
In formation from the sales tax
unit of the Eureau OF internal revenue
is that many dealers in soft drinks
and ice cream either are keeping no
record of the amount of tax collections
from such sales, or that the record
is insufficient or incorrect
Special attention will be directed
to the collection of this tax as we'll as
to the tax on toilet articles and pro-
prietary medicines Through the fail
ure of retailers to collect in full the
tax of one cent for each 25 cents or
fraction thereof of the amount for
which toilet articles and proprietary
medicines are sold, lit is estimated the
government is losing several million
dollars annually. The tax is collect
ed by means of stamps ranging from
one to forty cents, which the law
J
provides shall be affixed by the deal
Ell, and cancelled
1T is the intention to conduct as
thorough and effective a campaign as
possible in such a way as to bring to
| justice willful violators, and cause no
| embarrassment to merchants and
business men who honestly are en-
| deav0r.ng to comply with the revenue
laws. Discovery Of evidence to show
willful tax evasion will be followed
I by prosecutions. In fragrant cases,
the bureau will urge the imposition
of extreme penalties. For willful re-
fusal to collect and pay the tax the
| penalty is a fine of not more than
$4,000, or one years Imprisonment,
OF both, together with an added as
sessment equal to the amount of tax
evaded. For failure to make return,
the penalty is fine Of not more than
$1,000
Persons desiring to file amended
returns of tax collections for which
they are responsible should do so he.
fore government investigation, in
which case the policy of the bureau
will be one of leniency. There is
great difference between the self-dis
covered tax delinquent, and the tax
evader discovered by the bureau"
