BIG BUSINESS in RUSSIA

You might pay rather close attention to the news of
the big commercial industrialists, if you're interested in
the workings of the communistic experiment. The news
may turn out to be extremely important.
Heading the list, of course, is the fact that Ford is to
establish a factory in Russia to produce 100000 cars and
trucks a year. and that Russia, pending completion Of
this plant. is to spend $50. 100000 on Ford cars in the
meantime. Noteworthy also is the fact that American
engineers will build Russian steel mills, bring her coal
mines up to date and supervise the construction Of a
$l0O000.000 hydroelcctric plant, the largest in the world.
These items indicate a number OF things. Automobile
factories. new steel mills and vast water power plants can
be expected to modify communism considerably, before
they get through.

\ STEP TOWARD LIBERTY

A STEP TOWARD LIBERTY
One Of the most important events
in the history Of u republic &C.
Cured on this date in 1776 for then
Congress appointed the commission
which framed the Declaration Of In.
dependence.
Two commissions, in fact, were
APPOINT ID IN this date. One to pre-.
pare Z declaration and the other to
frame I plan Of confederation.
On the committee which drew up
the Declaration were jefferson,
Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sher-
man and T.. r. Livingston. They re.
ported to Congress on June %, 1776,
but action was delayed for several
days.
up for consideration, it was passed
unanimously on July 4, 1776, by the
delegates Of IL colonies. New Yogk's
delegates could not vote on the
Declaration because they had not yet
been authorized to support the move
ment for independence.
Thomas Jefferson is credited with
having written the Declaration Of
independence almost in its entirety.
At least, in the form in which It was
submitted to Congress and adopted.
All the committee members doubt
lessly contributed their share to the
ideas incorporated in the document.

WASHINGTON, April 6, {P)- President Hoover agrees with Sec retary Mellon that tax on earned income should be lower than the tax oc unearned income and be- lieves that congress should take action to reduce the levy upon such incomes at the next regular session if conditions warrant.
 If there is to be any tax reduc- ton this year the administration feels earned incomes should get the benefit because the tax OF earned incomes the increment is nartlv on thrift.

COPPER PRICES I
SOAR SAYWARD

NEW YORK, Mar. IA, (Pl-The
conner industry has in past months
emerged from some seven years OF
depression with such rapid strides
that a furry Of buying has set
in. throwing the Red Metal market
into cnofusiOn
Prices have risen in the first
two months CT 1929 nearly 3 cents
a pound to above 19 cents, the
highest in lG years. The rise in
prices has been more rapid appar-
emily than producers hau expect
ed. Consumers have rushed to buy
before prices get any higher,
creating such demand as to de-
feat their own ends.
Producers have been reluctant
to increase their output on the
strength of the current buying, as
much of it appears to be for ulCi-
mate rather than current conSuhlp-
ton. Practically no copper IS
available now 1Jr earlier than June
delivery, and the trade is looking
for high prices for some time to
come.
The war demand speeded up
production far IN excess OF a few
years ago. Average prices fell from
above 25 cents pound IN 1917 to
under Is cents in 1922, and held
around the i3-cent level until 1923,
when it rose above is cents. Stocks
of copper III this country at the
beginning OF 1927 reached a record
volume Of more than $4,000 tons,
Refined stocks at the end Of 1928
were undred 100000 tons.
Federal Reserve board price in
dices show that the present up
ward movement in copper began
last May and, after holding its
own during the summer, was re-
sumed with the expanding indus
trial operations in the fall, and be-
came extremely sharp after the
first of the year. BY comparison
steel prices have shown a firmer
tendency during recent months,
but have been comparatively stable,
somewhat under the 1932-25 (in-
cl1sivep average, according to Re
se.ye beard indices,
