Cleveland E. Dodge Says

Plans Inspection Trip to

What the copper industry needs
most at this time is a satisfactory set

debts was the statement Monday of
Cleveland E. Dodge, vice president Of
the Phelps Dodge corporation and
director of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, when asked about the outlook
for the copper mining industry. "The
in fact, very good, but the foreign mar
ket is very weak, due to the present
financial condition Of Europe"
Dodge arrived in Douglas Sunday
night after completing. a trip of In
spection over the new main line of the
Southern Pacific company. He will re-
main here several days before going to
Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico, to inspect
the properties of the Phelps Dodge cor
poration at that place. After his re-
turn to Douglas he will go to Bisbee

market in copper Immediately after

domestic market is very good at pres
ent because of the sustained demand
for copper in electrical construction.
automobile manufacture and in addi-
tional manufactures, such as the new
electric refrigerators. Some settlement
of the European debt problem and a
settlement of the coal strike in Eng
land would undoubtedly benefit the
copper market"
When questioned concerning the ef-
feet of the new production tax on cop
per recently passed by the Mexican
government, by which this tax has been
Increased to eight times what it was
before, Dodge said:
"This tax will affect the mines di-
rectly, of course, and it viii affect the
smelters also if it results in increasing
the cost of mining to the point where
it cannot be profitably carried on. l
think an important thing for both the
United States and Mexico to rem nefnber
is the trenaenduous competition the
mining industry is now receiving from
South America and Africa. Each addt-
tional burden placed on the local indus
tries bv the United States and Mexico
tend to make conditions more difficult
here and at the same time helps for
eign competition. Arizona could once
produce the cheapest copper in the
United States, but this condition no
longer exists"
.'There is nothing particularly new
in railroad circles" Dodge stated. Il
have Just made an inspection trip over
the Southern Pacific and found every

STATE PRIMARY
TODAY WILL BE
A STIFF BATTLE

Arizona today faces what promises
to he one of the most hotly contested
nrimaries elections in years, given
added interest by. the controversy rag
ing about Arizona's rights in the
turbulent muddy Colorado river as n
source for irrigation water and elec-
trio power.

today's elections will be devoid of ma
tionaA issues.

Senator Ralph FL Cameron, who
conducted filibuster against the
Swring- Johnson bill during the clos
ing hours of the last session of con-
gress is unopposed for the republican
senatorial nomination. Congressman
Carl Hayden, democrat, is opposed
by Charles H. Rutherford, Phoenix
attorney, for the senatorial nominal
ton.
Governor Hunt is opposed in the
gubernatorial race by E. r. Ellinwood,
lawyer and banker and j. j. Cox, a
state senator Hunt practically has
based his entire campaign on the
single issue of Saving the Colorado

for a change in the states chief
executive office, and Cox on sound
er banking law by the passage of
legislation designed to force banks
to bond individual depositors.
In the republican ranks contesting
for the gubernatorial nomination are
E. S. Clark, attorney general for
the territory of Arizona under Gov
ernor Kibbey, and Tom Maddox.
Clark has received the endorse
ment of the republican state central
committee through H. S. Corbett,
chairman.
With a potential vote of 101, 1858

but did not dampen the enthusiasm

predictions of victory by oyerwhelm-
