ARIZONA FIGHTS
 FOR HIGH TARIFF
 TO SAVE COPPER
Democratic Governor Di- recting Efforts to, Pro-
 tect Big Industry
BY GEORGE D. CRIssEY

oI uEOfkNrh U Cfkl66GI United Press Stan Correspondent ) Phoenix, Ariz.-Arizona, a demo- cratic state which usually has op- posed the principles of protective tariff, has changfied it's mind and an effort to revive the faltering in- dustry.
 At present the fight is being waged before the federal tariff comm ission, now engaged in an investigation of copper production in foreign and domestic fields.
 Governor George w. P. Hunt, democratic veteran who is serving his seventh term, is directing the fight. He is being aided by spe- cial Arizona copper commission which is preparing facts for pre- sentation to federal tariff experts.
 State Leads in Copper
 Curtailed production, part time employment a nd the closing of mines forced the issue on Gov ernor Hunt. Arizona, he ex- plained is the leading copper state of the union. The mining com panies pay approximately one-half of all state taxes. As a result, Cover nor Hunt declared, the prosperity of Arizona copper producers is a mat ter of vital importance for the state as a whole.
 Appointment of the copper commission was authorized at a copper conference called by Gov ernor Hunt. Soon thereafter Rep resentatiye l.. W. Douglas, democrat, Arizona, whose forefathers founded the copper town of Douglas, left for Washington to aid in presenting Arizona's case to the federal tariff
 In the event the tariff program does not meet with the federal tariff commissions favor, Rep Douglas, aided by Senators Carl Hayden and Henry F. Ashurst. will carry the fight to the next session or congress.
 The entire congressional delega- ton is democratic but all have promised to work Sor the copper tariff and in this they are supported by both democratic and republican politicians at home. It Is one or the few issues on which the oppos- ing state political factions are agreed.
 Declining production followed a steady drop in the price of copper from a high point of 21 cents in 1929 to less than nine cents in the early summer of this year. This added materially to the states unemployment problem. The mining com panies did not reduce wages but did lay off men by the thousands and put others on a part time basis'
 Fear Foreign Copper
 It is contended by Governor Hunt and his commissioners that foreign copper. produced Dy United States capitalists, may be placed on the market in New York for six cents a pound. This. they say. is because of cheap labor used in South end Central America United states production costs ap- proximate 10 cents a pounds. Copper production and con. sumption capacity in the United States gre about equal. according to the commission. Thus. 1t fl held, a tariff would solve thu
 Another. and important facto IA that manufacturer of coppe goods are protected by . higl tariff, shutting out foreign com petition. while being able to bu the raw copper in the world mar kets, as raw copper and coppe ore are on the free list.

Savings in Hard Times.
(New York Times

(New York Times)
 The continuous and rapid increase of savings bank deposits this ysar has been a source of per- pexity and conjecture-mainly because period of widespread unemployment would appear to lead to large reductions in such accounts Instead figures recently published have shown exceptionally large gain the beginning of this year deposits lately exceeding withdrawals in New York State in- stitutions by $2O000000 to $40,000,000 month
 The course of savings deposits has by no means followed any uniform rule in previous years of de- presson Tables in the official statistical Ab- stract show that while the countrys total of sav- ngs bank deposits decreased S16217,0O0 in 1908 and SEQ e67 900 in 1894 and while they dropped $76l3l in l877 the year of most depression after the panic of 873 they increased $98, 8,000000 in 1914 and s41OOOO000 in 1921.
 Possibly the present large increase is due to the action of small investors who have been frightened ont of the usual investment market and have put their money into the savings banks, temporarily or otherwise as a haven of safety If that is so it would provide striking and interesting contrast with 1929 when the American Bankers Associations saving bank committee reported that savings de- poss of all kinds had decreased $l95 100000 in the twelve months ending with June, 1929. The report drew the conclusion that the most important factor in draining away savings deposits and decreasing the number of depositors has been the lure of profits to be made in stocks" It added the remark that, if this experiment were to prove unfortunate then another year will doubtless witness an increase in savings deposits well in savings depostors The facts fit the prophecy.
