NEW LIBEL LAW.

A bill is to be introduced at
the coming session of the state
legislature which will make it a
punishable offense for anyone to
give a newspaper alleged news"
that may be untrue or that may
libel anyone.
Under the law as it now
stands, the publisher of a paper
is liable if he prints untruthful
statements concerning anyone,
no matter how innocent he may
be of any wrong intent. The
busy editor has little time to
scrutinize or verify the news
that comes to him over the tele.
phone, by letter, or that is given
to his reporters, and by making
the original informant liable, the
the new law will go long way
towards ending the all too com.
mon practice Of giving q paper
false information.

COPPER HITS HIGH PRICE.

New York-Sales of copper
we're made in the east this week
at Is cents pound. the first
time in II months that electroly
tic has reached that figure. The
15-cent mark was reported in the
middle west some time ago.
News that actual sales of the
red metal had been made in New
York at Is cents was received in
Arizona by officials of smelters.
No comment was made regard
ing the effect the steady rise
would have upon the industry in
the state, although it is stated
that producers can make some
profit at that figure.
The opinion was expressed in
some quarters that it would take
time to determine whether the
recent rise in copper was the re
suit of sound economic condi
tions that will make permanent
improvement in the industry or
was a result Of manipulations
preceding new financing of for
eign projects.
The activity in copper shares
on the New York market, where
II of the copper stocks rosa to
new high levels this week. indi,
cate a general feeling of conf
dence in the future of the in
dustry.
The editor of the Arizona Min
ing Journal, Charles F. Willis,
in discussing the copper situa
ton. had tue following to say:
The recent rise in price is
undoubtedly due to the filling of
orders to take care of the needs
of the fabricators for the first
quarter of 1925, as it was known
that they shortly would be on
the market and that they had
not filled their requirements.
Tho weakness that develop.
ed in the copper market, due TO
the increase ia production dur,
ing October, a matter of about
5000 tons, and the consequent
feeling that the mines we're in:
creasing production, has been
overcome with the announce
ment of the November produc.
ton figures for the United States
totaling 1887 tons as against
the October production record of
81. .OO3 tons. October, a 81 day
month, has the high record for
production of the year and the
decrease, back to about July,
August and September marks,
shows that there was actually
no increase in production. Pos.
sibly some unusual and indi.
vidual circumstances in addition
to the 31-day month was respon.
sible for the October rise.
The production of copper for
the first II months of 1924 is
about equal to the entire years
production during 1923 and about
two and one half times the pro
duction of 1921, so that it is ap.
parent that the United States
production is not going to be so
much greater than in 1923 even
though the consumption has been
materially increased.
Exports continue we'll, the
first 10 months of 1924 totaling
472, 522 tons against 442, ,861 for
the full year of 1928 and 377 ,759
tons in 1922. The importing
countries in order of their i'm.
portance are France, United
Kingdom, Germany. and Italy.
Because of the attitude of the
producers in showing no disposi.
ton to grant concessions, demes
tic business has been inclined to
be quiet and the principal activ.
ity is abroad"

| Governor Hunt this morning for
the purpose of urging upon him
the necessity of taking every
possible means to preserve in.
tact Arizona's rights in the Colo.
RADIO river.
You are aware of the fact
that since the war the business
depression in the mining indus
try and in agriculture has been
particularly felt in this State,
which has made it difficult to
raise by taxation the revenues
necessary to conduct the State
government and also provide
adequate funds to make the sur
veys and Investigations neces.
sary to demonstrate Arizona's
contention as to the practica bill.
ty of irrigating several million
acres of land in Arizona in ad
dition to the immense power de.
velopment. j..
We called upon Governor
Hunt to assure him that in order
to protect our rights in the Colo
rado river we favored asserting
every legal right Arizona pos
sesses as sovereign State; that
it is our desire that we maintain
friendly relations with our sister
states in the Colorado river ba.
sin, but that we do not intend to
be inttmidated, browbeaten or
coerced into any position which
, will jeopardize the interests of
the State.
with food control as a pre-.
tense, California is trying to
force through the Swing John
son bill, which will give Califor.
MIA water and power, but which
will make the irrigation of mil
lions of acres of land in Arizona
impossible. This should not be
permitted, and the attempt to do
so will be met with all the re
sistance it is possible for US to
develop in this State. The wei
fare of California does not make
lit necessary that Arizona's inter.
ests should be sacrificed. The
building of the Boulder Canyon
i;dam Will flood the river at places
where dams should be properly
built if Arizona is to have any
large agricultural development.
With dams properly located it
will be possible to have flood
control, full power development
and also irrigate several million
acres of land in Arizona. This
will be putting the river to it's
highest and greatest beneficial
use and development.
The State of Arizona is put.
ting a survey party IN the field
this week to obtain information
as to disputed engineering ques
tions at Spencer Canyon and
other places on the Colorado
river and in Arizona. We hope
to have more complete informa
ton to be submitted to Congress
for its consideration in a short
time. We urge you to utilize
every means at your command
as Arizona's representatives in
Congress to assert and protect
the rights of the state and to
prevent legislation that would
be ruinous to US"
