CURRENCY AIN
Hull at London Declares
Money Values at Cen
Ter of Depression

LONDON. June 9.-(UP) -
Sterilization of currencies is the
first logical point Of attack against
the world depression, Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull. head Of the
American delegation 10 the world
economies conference, declared to-
day in his first interview with the
British press.
Reduction of tariff barriers Is
an essential complementary neceS-
sity. he said. and to be effective
the two would have to be carried
out simultaneously. Depreciation
of currencfes and increasing tar
ifs inspired each other, forming
4 vicious circle, he said.
OPEN-MINDED TOWARD
ALL IDEAS
The American delegation ap-
preached the conference with very
definite ideas of what had to be
done to end the depression, but
was opcn-minded toward all ideas,
he said.
After the interview Hull attend
ed q private luncheon where he
met Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald. He hoped to confer later
with the premier and with states
men of other conference 'delega-
tiOnS.
The British journalists made re-
rpeated efforts to obtain some hint
of the American attitude toward
reduction of war debts, but Hull
insisted the subject was outside
the scope Of the economic confer
ence.
Much interest was displayed in
reports that while his boat was in
Queenstown, Ireland, Hull refer
red to the Irish Free State as the
"Irish Republic" Hull said that
such reports represented an effort
to divert attention from the eco
monte conference.

ment issued at the highway depart

Of the total amount appropriated
by the federal administration S.
211,96O will be distributed among

way commission under the same
regulations as those by which the
last federal aid appropriation was

COUNTIES UNITE
SEEKING FUNDS

Mayor j. E. Wise, William H.
Hathaway, chairman of the Board
of Supervisors; r. T. Frazier, men,
Der of the board; City Councilman
Frank Carroon and G. T. Mich
aels, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, attended meeting in
Tucson, Wednesday, of government
tai representatives from Pima, Co.
chisa and Santa Cruz counties.
The group went on record back
ing 100 per cent all flood and ero-
sion control projects sought in Pi-
ma, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Cochise and
Gila counties, and will center its
attention upon Arizona's represen-
tatives in Washington, to see that
these 100 per cent federal aid funds
accrue to this district.
The group then went on record
as favoring plan whereby the
state not seek a thirty million dol
lar loan from the government, but
rather that individual cities and
counties seek these loans in the
amounts deemed necessary.
Word has reached Arizona that,
in addition to the monies expected
to come 100 per cent from the gov
ernment for various roads, floods
and erosion control projects, the
federal relief administrator (when
selected for Arizona) will have for
disposal $3O,00O,OOO. This money is
said to be available for worthy pro-
iects of public value which will, at
the same time, provide work for
the unemployed. Under the pros
pective plan, as yet vague, the gov
ernment will donate 80 per cent
of this money outright and the re-
naming 10 per cent must be paid
back.

HIGHWAY LABOR
TOBEOBTAINED
IN THE COUNTIES

PHOENIX, July 21.--Government
regulations provide that labor to be
employed in AriZona's $5,211 900
federal aid highway program be TAX
en- principally from the counties
in which work will be done, and
will not be hired by the State
Highway Department, according to
T. S. O'Connell, state highway en-
gineer.
Hundreds of persons seeking en-
ployment have swarmed through
the various offices in the Highway
Building during the past few days
in the belief that the department
will have many jobs of which to
dispose. In some cases the entire
time of the office personnel has been
occupied with receiving applications.
Federal regulations governing
work under the new highway pro-
gram provide that the United States
Employment Service in each state
will designate local agencies to re-
ceive applications and prepare lists
of skilled and unskilled labor for
each highway project" Mr.. O'Con-
nell said.

COPPER TARIFF
DISCUSSED BY
MRS. GREENWAY

PHOENIX, July 21.-Isabella
Greenway, candidate for congress
in the primaries of August 8, de-
livered an address here before three
different valley audiences in which
she spoke on the issues of the cam
paign, copper tariff, agriculture,
veterans compensation, banking, un-
employment, labor and public works.
She went into detail on the cop
per tariff issue. mo one who has
studied the conditions of copper
mining in Africa could believe other
wise than that a protective tariff is
necessary to save the copper min
ing industry OF Arizona and tht
other copper producing states st1r
said.
"If we do not save Arizona's cop
per mines, this state will soon be i.
verse condition, financially, thar
it is now. Nothing but q higher pro
tective tariff on copper can saw
these mines"
She said she owned no interest in
foreign mines and never had, nor
had any member of her family. She
declared she would bend every ef-
fort to achieve any adequate tariff
necessary to reopen the Arizona
copper mines and to keep them op-
en-.

NOGALES SCHOOL
BUDGET SHOWS
IS PERCENT CUT

The budget for the operation of
tn eNogales Public schools as adopt
ed by the Board of Trustees last
week shows a cut of 1850 under the
budget year ago. In the past two
years the board had cut their bud
get $35 ,852.25 or a cut of 1920. Two
years ago the total budget was
$136,662.55. For the school year of
1933-34 the budget is $100,810.30.
In spite of the fact that sub
stantial cut has been made, there
will of necessity be considerable
special levy this coming year due
to the fact that the aid from the
state fund has been cut down SIS
per child and the aid from the
county has been cut down SO per
child. This decrease in state and
county aid causes loss to this dis
trict of $19,O18.75 this coming year.
The board has decreased their bud
get this coming year by practically,
the amount to be lost by state and
county reductions.
There is material saving to the
county budget this year due to the
decrease in aid from county funds
because last year the county raised
$102,770.54 for county school pur-
poses and for the year 1933-34 the
county will be assessed $77,812.83
or a reduction of $24,95771. This is
due to the fact that the county SUI
parintendent set the per capita
levy at $50 per child whereas the
cid per capita levy was $45 per
child
The tendency in decreasing the
county and state per capita for each
child is to shift the burden of tax-
alton onto the local districts.
There is still due Nogales District
No. / from Santa Cruz County ST..
1894 from uncollected taxes this
past year. All one and two-room
county schools have been paid their
county apportionments and Nogales
and four other larger schools in
this county still have coming the
uncollected tax money. There are al
so due the Nogales Public Schools
$17,02O.5O in state warrants which
the state has not yet taken up.

Commodity prides-Gained 5 of a
point, to reach "a, highest level in
more than year.
Car loadings-Gained more than
Is per cent, with increase delliCn-
strated in all commodity groups ex-
cept livestock, and in all regions
except Central West.
Soft Coal-Production higher and
price rise anticipated.
Lumber-Output still rising, and
orders increasing.
Automobiles-Pro reached
peak for the year.
Bank debits-Check payments, in
dicating volume Of business trans
acted, increased and above year
ago.
Wheat and cotton values increas-
ed close to billion dollars recent
ly. Dollar wheat, dream of the last
few years, was reached because of
weather that literally burned wheat
in the fields in various important
producing regions. Spring wheat
crop now is forecast at 175,000000
bushels. Cotton crop is more diff
ficult to estimate; present and fu-
ture supply is roughly placed at
twenty to twenty-one million bales.
Important indicator of conditions
in general is electric power pcoduc-
ton. For several months it has
shown consistent improvement. Dur
ing May there was per cent
rise over April, whereas the normal
change is about 2 per cent drop.
Steel plants have also shown them
selves immune this year to the Us
uaI seasonal slump, and July start
ed with no indications of let
down. Only moderate slackening is
forecast for the automobile indus
try-sales touched the 100000
mark for the first six months of
the year, exceeding the most SAN
guine hopes of producers. Not since
1880 has there been a better half
year showing.
Another major industry which is
feeling the stimulus of recovery is
shoes. Output has been consistent
ly ahead OF last year, and it is be-
lieved that May production reached
record for recent months.
So far this year railroad traffic
has improved. On several import
ant roads business is 80 to 40 per
cent ahead of last year. The rail-
road equipment industry, complete
ly in the doldrums for years, feels
optimistic.
