Special Taxes

Senators from copper producing
states are casting about to see what
they can do about the present special
taxes on imported copper. oil, lumber
and coal. Actually tariffs, these are
classified as taxes, and were carried
In the tar bill. there being no tariff
measure to put them on at the time
AS a matter OF fact. there has been no
general revision OF the tariff since the
Smoot- Hawley bill of 1929, and no Inn
mediate prospect OF one, as what with
quotas. special trade agreements--such
as that with Cuba--and the depreci-
ated dollar, there would be no partlcu-
lar point to try to Draft new meas
ure.
But the special tariff duties just
mentioned expire by Limitation this
coming June. or after congress has
been In session barely Ave months.
Unless there Ia congressional action
continuing them, they will die.
The tax ON imported copper. for
instance, Is four cents 1t is the
thought OF some experts In the tariff
commission that this should be cut to
two cents. Copper miners In many
western states think their only saliva
ton would lie In doubling 1t. instead
OF cutting 1t In half. They would like
to see the duty made eight cents and
they are telling their senators and con-
gressmen about 1t In no uncertain
terms.
It Is all very complicated. Oppo-
nents of the boost. and for that matter,
OF the present tariff on copper. say that
In this particular case more work II
made, more jobs are provided. In this
country by free copper than by tariff
on copper. They say that actually two
| men would be employed In Connect,
| cut, fabricating the imported copper
for every one employed In the West
producing the copper.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1934-11-01
Other Entanglements

Then there are corporation entangle-
ments, Some of the big companies
owning copper mines In the West also
own rich copper deposits In other coun-
tries, notably Chile. Some also are
more interested In fabrlcating copper
than they are In producing 1t. At
least one OF these big companies Is
very close to the border line fnancl-
ally.
But. politically. the pressure Is all
for the tariff. from the copper produc-
Ing states, and against the tariff. from
Connecticut. But the Nutmeg state does
not have very much political influence,
heing one OF the SIX states which went
down with the G. 0. p. flag In 1882.
Whereas the copper producing states
have not only considerable array OF
New Deal senatorial talent, but are
flushed with the success OF their move
In having put tariff on copper.
There Is a grave question whether
the oil men Will want to continue the
alliance which put the four special
taxes across. Interests here are Just
as divided as In copper. The big oil
companies, many OF them, own rich oil
fields abroad. 1t Is the small lndepend-
ents who particularly want the tariff
on oil continued.
SO do the coal men. The tariff on
oil has checked, to some extent the
movement OF coal-burnlng householders
to oil for fuel, and the coal business

lnere was no insurance. A con-
siderable quantity of fruit was de-
stroyed on which there was only a
storage policy between the seasons
and hence no benefit while the
work was going on. George H.
Draper, Of Prime Hook Neck, be-
low Milford, had four evaporators
burned last week and lost $500
worth of fruit on which there was
no insurance. A new evaporator
