COPPER AUTO TAGS
 URGED IN ARIZONA

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 21, (P- Automobile license plates made of copper may be adopted by Ariz- ona if suggestion by Gov. George w. P. Hunt is carried out says the U. s. Daily. The governor has written to the chairman of the State Highway Commission, c. E. Adams, suggest ing that specifications for the 1882 license plates should call for cop per and that all bidders should be required to quote figures on copper plates.
 While there might be a slight differential of cost in favor of oth- CT metals" the governor said, T believe that this would be offset by the advantages in advertising and other ways which would attach to the copper plates.
 "As you know, Arizona is the largest producer of copper of all the states. My admiration is at present engaged in an effort to ob- tain tariff on foreign copper en- tering the United States for the protection of our domestic indus try.
 We are continually urging the advantages and superiority of cop per for many purposes. I think we should practice what we preach. Furthermore, I believe that copper license plates would be more symbolicNl of Arizona than plates made of any other metal"
