THE SIGN OF THE TIMES


 Faith in the future prosperity of the copper industry which has been such a potent factor in the growth and progress of Arizona in the past, has not been dimmed because of the curtailment of production during the past eight months in order to meet a situation brought about by the sud- den and unexpected termination of the World War. One of the causes which has kept this faith alive and steadfast has been the policy of a majority of the large copper com panies of the state in utilizing the full in production to make improvements build new plants, engage in explora- tion work, and lay out plans for a resumption of operations on larger scale at a decreased cost of produo- tion.. This has been the program at Jerome, Bisbee.s Nacozari and the Globe district and with the consoli- dation of the properties of Phelps Dodge Go. and: The Arizona Copper Go. Ltd. in this district we expect to see; millions of dollars spent for a similar purpose We see men who have spent their lives in the produc- tion ofS copper getting ready for greater activity in the future then at any time in-4the past.

HELPING OURSELVES


 When will western copper mines reopen? They will open when busi- ness again iustifies.
 If we sit still ana suck our thumbs, it will take\business longer to revive
 One way that the people can help in the re-opening of our copper mines and the employment of tens of thou sands of worknien, is by taking an interest in products manufactured from copper.
 We live in the heart of a copper producing country and yet we manu- facture but minus quantity of cop per articles, while the field for the use of copper is almost unlimited k As an illustration, what material will make a better road sign than a sheet of copper?
 It would last for ever and would not have to be replaced every few years as do the present painted met. al signs. Why not use our ingenuity and revive our tagging industries instead of waiting for Europe or some bankrupt foreign country to come to our rescue with orders The road sign is merely one of a thousand uses that can be cited fof copper.

ID GET POWER FROM FROM ARIZONA
 FLOOD WATERS

Kingman, Ariz., Nov 15-Inspira- tion and number of the other larger mining corporations of Arizona have joined with the Jackling interests Tn what are known as the Grand hydro electric plans in the lower part of the Grand Canyon, near the mouth of Diamond creek. These plans, calling for eventual construction of five dams, are the only ones thus far to secure franchise recognition from the inter for department.
 James G. Girand, Phoenix engineer lately finished the diversion dam of the Gillespie irrigation system on the Gila, 50 miles west of Phoenix For years he has been working in the canyon at the lower end of the black granite with the idea of installing a number of dams for power develop rent.
 He calls them detention dams for possible effect OF river floods and on lower river irrigation.
 To Stabilize Flow
 It will be possible to hold back the bulk of the early summer flood flow, stabilizing the discharge from the dams to the end that a minimum How will be secured above Yuma, more than enough to assure full year ir- rfgation of fields of the Yuma and Imperial valleys and to leave still more available for such new p:o- jects as those at Parker and in the California district south of Blythe.
 But the primary object of the Gi- rand constructive work is to provide low cost power for the mines of Ari- zona, Nevada and Utah, with possi- bility of application of electric cur rent to the processes of ore redue- tions or bullion refining of copper manufacturers.

 The attitude of MT. Hunt on his re- turn to Arizona has been debated by cessor has been named by President Harding.
 While written in jocular vein, his letter to MT. Mcbride leaves no doubt in the minds of those interested i1 politics that he means to again at tempt to assume the leadership of the party with which he is affiliated. He proposes to return to Phoenix some time after the first of the year. He left Siam several weeks ago and is now touring in India. He plans to travel in Egypt, the Holy Land andl possibly France, Belgium and England before his return.
 Harry Midkiff also received let ter from the former. governor, writ ten before he left Siam, in which he stated that on the night of writing the king was giving a dinner in his honor The letter enclosed a hand some green jade jewel for stickpin It is understood that the friends of the governor are arranging recep- tion for him on his return: that they will have all the brass bands that can be collected to head procession that will meet him at the station on his arrival i% i..t- .;,i #

REPEAL TAX ON GOLD MINING

Senator Nicholson of Colorado has performed a very valuable service in securing the adoption of his amend ment to the revenue bill which pro vides for the exemption of gold mines from the operations of the excess profits tax. 5
 Such a provision was made part of the law of 1918 and it was evidently the intention to provide for this ex- enptioti in the law of 1917 thru the depletion provision of that act, but on account of the methods used in administering the law, it has failed of it's purpose.
 Should Senator Nicholson's amend ment be finally incorporated in the revenue act, it will not only provide for the future. but will be retroactiEe so as to remedy the iniquities of the 1917 act.
 To impose an excess profits tax on the production of gold is, on it's face, an absurdity. Gold has but one market and that is the United States mint. Its price is fixed at $20.63 an ounce and no conditions can change this price.
 The. cost of producing gold can be increased, as it was during the war, but the increased cost of production cannot be added to the selling price, Neither the discovery of new sources of production nor the exhaustion of old ones has any effect. Here is:the one place where the law of supply and demand does not operate.

statesmen. with Washington well in

ing the central problem of European
recovery. 1t is with France that these
discussions are in progress. and the
main question to settle at the moment
is Germany's default in reparation pay
