PROPOSED COPPER CODE

Despite the slump in the copper
iadustry it still il vital to Ari.
zona and any move tending to
better it is Of the utmost import.
ance. For some time there has
been discussion and delay in re-
gard to the proposed copper
code. It is hoped one soon will
be adopted because there are .
number OF proposed changes the
code would put ia force which
would be to the advantage Of
the industry.
Ia . review Of the proposed
code. Claude A. Jaeger, financial
editor of the Associated Press,
says that the code proposes TO
regulate production, liquidste
the surplus or "hold it from the
market" This last phase is Gig.
uificant. The surplus WAS re.
duced IL per cent 10 1888, accord
log to reports of the United
States bureau Of mines, but still
amounts to 1913, 600, 900 pounds.
How this huge surplus could be
"liquidated" is = puzzle. But
this surplus, under on NRA code
could be held from the market.
It this were done the copper
companies could produce the
amount used in present consump
ton. This would help general
business as we'll as stimulate the
copper industry. As business
grew better the task. of absorb.
ing the surplus would be easier.
As q matter of fact. consump.
ton OF copper was considerably
increased ia the past year. At
one time during the year the
American export trade was be.
ing forced out by production
from South America and Africa.
Devsluation of the dollar helped
American trade and exports ct
the close of 1888 were about
double what they had been Z
year previous. A code agree.
nent regulating prod nctien and
temporarily freezing" the sur.
plus would help the upward
trend. - Phoenix venin9

Tucson.--A new tree planting
program for the University of
Arizona campus waA outlined
recently by President Honor LIE
Roy Shsntz, Thanks to CWA
funds, it will now be possible to
supply the need for shaded walks
and for additional beastiication
OF the campus.
Already many young palm
trees have been planted In the
vicinity Of the law building. Ad
ditioual plans call for . continu.
alton of the present row of olive
trees from the presidents home,
past the women's dormitories.
and past the college OF mines to
the mechanic arts building and
garage. A row OF palo verdes
will be installed in front OF the
mems dormitories to replace the
cypress trees which are dying.
Sycamores and rows of palos
verdes will be planted on all
parts Of the campus which are
in need OF shade trees, and
climbing roses will be planted to
cover the fence surrounding the
athletic field. Due to the dense
foliage of the rose bushes, the
necessity of hanging canvas on
the fence during athletic con
tests will be done away with.
Practically ell young trees will
be taken from the University
nursery which is maintained by,
the College Of Agriculture for
practical study Of horticulture.
Thanks to CWA funds, the pro
ject will cost the University very
little, and q number. of needful
