SEND PUEBLO RELIEF
 FUNDS TO RED CROSS

In a statement made by the citizens committee of 20 in Pueblo, Colorado the people of the United States are called upon to send all contributions for the Pueblo Disaster Relief to the American Red Cross. Red Cross or ganizations exist in every community and can serve as transmittal agency for the stricken city, and George Fill mer, Manager of the Pacific Division has authorized chapter chairman to accept and transmit Pueblo relief funds.
 Indicating the confidence placed in the administration of the American Red Cross in the relief emergency, the Pueblo committee urged Congress to make it's aid through the Red Cross or in closest cooperation. This state ment was made by M. D. Thatcher, Chairman, Ava Adams, treasurer of the committee, and Robert Cast, cities agent in relief matters.
 Red Cross responsibility in Pueblo, according to announcement by James L. Frieser, director-in-chief of Amer ican Red Cross Disaster Relief Op- erations in Pueblo, covers the rebuild ing of homes, the rehabilitation of business and industries and every phase of relief. Fieser estimates that family rehabilitation vii cost at least half a million.
 Large additional sums are required for business rehabilitation. The Pueblo municipal government is be- ing aided by the United States Public Health Service and state troops in cleaning up the wreckage, and upon the Red Cross will fall the protracted task of restoring family life to nor nal.
 National Headquarters of the American Red Cross has forwarded $105,0O0 to supplement Southwestern Division resources in emergency phases of relief, until the public at large responds to the appeal made by President Harding and Governor Shoup.

GOVERNMENT READY TO
 PAY BOND INTRES7

Postmaster Metcalfe received the following from the Treasury Depart ment this week:
 On June 15, the Government will stand ready to pay $15,291 ,590.5O in cash as interest on the First Liberty Loan Bonds and Victory Liberty Loan Notes sold in the Twelfth Federal Re- serve District. You can perform a distinct service to the people of your community if you will give wide pub licity to this fact in your newspapers and by hanging signs in your windows and offices.
 Uncashed Liberty Bond coupons represent dead money. All holders of Bonds should take the trouble to clip their coupons and present them at any bank for redemption. The proceeds can be advantageously invested in Government Savings securities, such as 25c Thrift Stamps, $1 Treasury Savings Stamps, $5 War Savings Stamps, and the $25, $100 and 5000 Treasury Savings Certificates, or in purchasing more Liberty issues at the present very attractive market prices.
 Won't you do what you can by in structing the men at your window and on the urban and rural free delivery routes to advise all patrons that their Liberty Bond coupons are due and payable on June 18th, and urge them to reinvest the interest in Government Savings securities, paying 49o, com pounded quarterly? We are writing the banks in your locality, calling their attention to the payment of this tremendous sum on June 18th and asking their close cooperation in sec ing to it that as much as possible of this interest money is re-invested in Government Savings securities or ad- ditional Liberty issues. We are also sending a story to your newspapers but hope you will follow it up with a local story. We cannot readily esti- mate the amount due in interest on the First Liberty Loan and Victory Loan Notes sold in your city or town.

The Copper Situation

Daniel Guggenheim, head of tbe Ameican Smelting and Refining con- pany, and who is really an authority on the copper situation, was inter- viewed few days ago and is report ed to have said:
 "As we all know, the price for which any article may be sold depends, in the last analysis, entirely upon pro- duction and consumption. The best estimates, based upon conditions as they exist at the present time, but not including. the large increase in the demand for copper which should come from Germany and the rest of the world, are that consumption is about 675,000 tons per annum, while mine production is about 375,000 tons per annum. At this ratio, it will be readily seen that it will not take a long time to absorb the entire cop per surplus, and thus again put the industry in splendid condition.
 "The German plants manufacturing copper products are now re-establish- ed at full capacity; the demand for those products is worldwide, and the only way to satisfy that demand is to acquire the necessary copper. It is a well known fact that raw materials are now needed by the Germans, and will be badly needed if they work as they will be compelled to work to dis charge their colossal indemnity obli- gations.
 Germany, however, is only single country. The whole world at the present time is under-constructed and under-equipped with all materials products requiring the use of copper. So little copper was used during the last seven years that trade and com- merce are starving for lack of copper in all forms. Though it is human to err in such predictions, I do not be- lieve that world consumption of cop per in large quantities can be. delayed much longer"

BILL WILL C0TO VOTE OF
 PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER

Phoenix, June 6.-There has been a lrked let-up in the signing of refer dum petitions against House Bill
 83, and it is now problematical
 ether the enemies of reclamation
 succeed in securing enough names
 defeat consideration of this impor- ht constitutional amendment.
 Now that the public in general and farmers in particular are begin hg to realize the true significance this measure, and what it will mean
 them in the matter of securing a fger number of people to share the ministrative expense of the state vernment, petition workers are find 5 it increasingly difficult to make eir daily wage at 20 cents per name d, in some instances are said to be reatening to cease their efforts un- Is the rate per name is raised.
 While the proposed constitutional hendment will be of particular bene-
 to irrigation districts, its general nefit to the state will be tremen- us, for it means simply this: Ad- population, increased taxable land ca, and hence a less per capita tax carry on the state government than
 present.
 From which it will be seen that cry community, and every industry l d every taxpayer, big and small, i Il be benefited, even the big cop r interests of Arizona( which today y 60 per cent of the taxes, will be lped in that the development of az eulture will take just that much bm the burden of taxation they are hSying today.
 hen these facts are taken into ksideration it is thought strange ht the mining interests should be hcerned in the defeat of so meri- .ious a measure, and yet this is actly what is happening, for from liable sources it is learned that the mining companies are backing the |ferendum and presumably paying e workers for securing names.
 The development of reclamation in |.izona, coupled with development

 Nevada, for instance, was alive with neral development at one time. st wealth was wrested from her h deposits of gold, silver and it emed inevitable that prosperity |uld continue.

 The measure is gaining favor every ky, and this is shown by the fact l at in many instances persons who |advertently placed their names on |e petitioners against it are demand (g that they be stricken off.
