$4,000 EXPENDED
BY TUCSON FIRMS
In RATE BATTLE

TUCSON-Mercha of Tucson
were forced to spend approximately
$4,000 to fight the recent applica-
ton of the railroads, which asked
that they be permitted to charge
lower freight rate to Pacific coast
points from the east, to the exclu-
sion of intermountain points-in-
Guiding Tucson-it was stated this
week by E. S. Fitch.
While the application of the car
riers was denied by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the defeat
of the Gooding Bill, leaves the way
open for further rate petitions by
the railroads, which will mean ad-
ditional large expenditures by the
local shippers and receivers Of
freight, unless the second bill pre-
sented by Senator Gooding, becomes
a law. Information that the fight
against permitting railroads to
charge lower freight rates for a
long haul, than for shorter inter-
mediate hauls had been renewed
in the senate Friday, was received
by Mr.. Fitch.
Despite the defeat, on Wednes-
day of the Gooding long and short
haul bill, Senator Gooding of Ida
no reintroduced the bill in slightly
modified form. The defeated meas
ure would have provided applica-
tion of the long and short haul
principle to meet any water compe-
tition, but the new bill prohibits
it's invocation only to meet water
competition through the Panama
Canal
Two application Of the kind have
been denied the carriers by the
commission to date, Fitch said, and
while there is little likelihood that
such an application, frankly, detri
mental to the intermountain states
would be granted, still, as long as
the railroads have the power to ask
such rates, the shippers of Arizona
as well as those of the other inter
mountain states effected, will be
faced with the burden of financing
the fight against the granting of
such petition.

Clifton Plans Special
Brand Of Pure Copper

CLIFTON = Experiments consid-
cred by manufacturers of copper
products as of great value are be-
ing made at the Clifton smelter of
the Phelps Dodge corporation and
tend toward an evolution in copper
smelling throughout the world.
These experiments are now well
along toward successful completion
and will lead to the turning out by
the smelter here of pure grade
of copper, under a special trade
brand, ready for the manufacturers
in the making of copper products,
with special reference to thin plate
and tube products. Heretofore all
bar copper from smelter has had
to go TO refining plants before be-
ing placed on the market for sale.
The new process will do away with
these refining plants.
Experiments here have been con-
Quoted for some time under the di-
rection of J. o. Amber, superin-
tendent of the Clifton smelter. So
successful have been these expert
ments that the Phelps Dodge COR
poration has assigned it's consult
ing metallurgical engineer, Col. H.
H. Stout, to the Clifton smelter to
cooperate with Mr. Amber in COM
pleting the experiments, it was Of
fically announced.
Mr.. Amber on. a small scale has
conducted successfully the expert
ments on this new type of copper,
and the next step in the develop
ment will be to work out the prob
lem on a commercial scale, the
success of which will follow as a
scientific sequence to the Amber
experiments, it was stated.

Annual High School Picnic

I w AAO soy I1AS w AAiCAON
High School can't have a big
school picnic? Its going to be a
big success this year.
Last year the annual high
school picnic was held on Arbor
Day. AS Arbor Day approached
this year, many of the pupils
suggested that the custom of last
year be followed; that today,
April 2, be the day of the high
school picnic. At an assembly of
the student body Tuesday, the
idea carried.
Big preparations have been
made to make the day a real sue
cess. William Walcott, the chair
man of the committee on transpor-
tation, has provided a way for
about eighty people to be carried
to the selected spot beyond Sunset
Pass.
Mr.. Liljedahe is chairman of the
grounds committee. At about ten
o'clock this morning all who gath
cred at the high school building
to go to the rendezvous started the
day by playing follow the lead
er. Mr.. Liljedahl lead the way to
place where the eats could be
properly enjoyed and where games
and contests could be CARRIED out.
Mr.. Tweed, acting as chairman
of the entertainment committee,
had program of games, races and
contests which would keep every
one busy from the moment all ar
rived till the first one suggested:

Miss Warner is chairman of the

for food sounds. Only a quarter

girls did the rest. Presto quarter;
chanpo eats. Result-too full to

Fun was scheduled from the
minute the cars left the school
house in the morning till 600 D.

you didn't go to the annual high
school picnic, YOU didn't have
good time on Arril the second.
High School Commentaries
ArbOr Day
At about $3.50 this morning a
short program was given at the
campus of the high school. April
the second was the first Friday in
the month, SO according to the
governors proclamation it was
Arbor Day.
During the first part of the
program a number of trees were
planted along the front of the
building. After short talk by
one of the members of the Wo-
mans Club, Mrs. Madden, and
Miss Bloodgood. the pupils and
faculty departed for their picnic.
Each of the school buildings in
town had similar exercises this
morning. About thirty-eight trees
were planted on the grounds of the
four buildings.
TREES
l think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is
prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

RIVER PROBLEM SEEN us SERIOUS

The washington Herald early this week ran the
following editorial on the Colorado river problem and
the pending legislation:
Under the intelligent and sympathetic cooperation
of Secretaries Hoover and Work the to regu-
late the flow of the Colorado River has reached

ble action of the House Committee on Irrigation and
Reclamation, which is considering the question.
All realize that this mighty stream of the South
west must be controlled. That is the first consldera
flon. Human lives and property are involved 1t IS
a fact that the great population of Imperial Valley
with its immense material interests, might be wiped
out should the river at flooatide, break its levees.
All have acutely realized this, the Government

there has not been accord phases of the project 1t
is possible that the several features of the

however that the suggestions of Secretary Work in

urgent flood control until all parties in agreement
if the Southwest should have to wait for regulated

1t is fortunate tht the Administration has sought
to end the impasse.

genuinely constructive form. One feature that Con-
greSS should particularly welcome Secretary Works

The parole system in this country as we'll as the
whole treatment of criminals has come under strong
public dsapproval of late, chiefly because there does
not appear to be real discrimination between those
who be reesablished and those who need the quick
and drastic punishment.
