We've read somewhere recently
that the present sharp rise in the
popularity of accordion music be-
gan somewhat inauspiciously as
the century turned, with an
italian immigrant who went about
squeezing his strange music box
in dens of what at the time was
referred to as iniquity.
He played for pennies and
things, nickels and things, and
in the end dollars and things. He
went back to Italy and, we assume,
obScurity. But he left on this side
of the Atlantic an aroused appe-
tite for that sort of melody
making.
Satisfying that appetite in

DUCE TO VISIT
NORTH AFRICA
COLONY
BY FRANK GERVASI

ROME, March 6 G.N.SO For
the second time since he came
into power, Premier Benito Mus
solini soon will visit Tripolitania,
for many years Italy's white ele-
phant" colony, now of vital
strategic naval and military
value.
He is expected today to sail
early next week to inaugurate
the Tripoli fair, the new trans
politania military road, and re-
view the Mediterranean fleet in
maneuvers off the Libyan Coast.
The junket, it is estimated,
will cost the Italian government
about $i,OO0,OO0.
InSpects Road
Most important of all II Duce'S
official acts during his Today
visit to the vast colony will be
Inauguration of the 1,185-mile
military load winding across
desert Tripolitania from the
French Algerian frontier to
Egypt.
This road was indirectly the
cause of Field Marshal Emilio De
Bono's challenging Colonial Min
lister Alessandro Lessona to a
duel. The colonial ministry
limited that highway building
when De Bono was governor Of
Libya was too costly and waste
full. The duel was submitted 10
a court of honor.
Feeders leading off the wide,
macadamized, heavy traffic high
way honeycomb the entire colony,
reaching far inland to secret air
bases and motorized army centers.
The road was conceived by MUS
solini, and built under the lashlng
energy of Air Marshal Italo Balbo'
the man who wanted to be viceroy
but whom Mussolini preferred to
name only as governor of Llbya,
Italy's watchtower of the Medl-
terranean.
Links Air Bases
Hugging the sea for the most
part, under the protection OF
italian naval guns, but sometimes
skirting inland, the new highway
links important air bases at Trip
oil, Tobruk, Derna and BengaSl.

Shortly after he joined the de-

States citizens are accustomed. No more
is being asked than sufficient to equal
ize the difference in costs between
United States and foreign mines as
caused by the better conditions toT
Workmen prevailing in this country.
The continuation Of the excise tax on
copper is essential to the welfare OF all
United States citizens since countless
employees in many industries in all
states are directly dependent upon the
operation Of the copper mines and
many times more are indirectly de-
pendent. This not alone applies to the
enormous direct purchases OF materials,
supplies, and equipment by mining
companies, but, even more far-reach-
ing, purchases of food, clothing, and
other necessities by those directly and
indirectly employed The influence OF
copper mining extends to every state
in the Union.
Without continued protection a COM
plete collapse Of the United States cop
per industry would be inevitable, which
would throw out of work many thou
sands who have recently found re-en-
ployment, cut off the release Of great
sums of money spent throughout the
United States as a result OF increased
purchases by the copper mines and
their employees, seriously cripple the
revenues OF many states and the united
States by loss Of taxable wealth, and
have many other equally detrimental
effects
A healthy copper industry is also
absolutely essential to the national de-
fense and international independence
Of the United States. Copper IS as nee
esSary to the army and navy as it is
to industry, and it is inconceivable I
that the United States, with ample
copper resources, would ever permit it
self to be dependent upon foreign
countries for its copper supplies.
Five years of operation of the cop
per excise tax has proven very bene- /
ticial. 1t has successfully prevented i'm I

The congress OF the OnibeQ STATES
placed in the Revenue Bill Of 1882 an
excise tax of 4 cents per pound on
foreign produced copper. This act would
have automatically expired in June,
1884, If 1t had not been extended for
one year by presidential proclamation.
Then, in 1885, the same tax was written
into the Revenue Bill Of 1885, which
automatically expires in June, 1887, and
which is now In the process Of being
rewritten. If copper is to be included
again, there is much work to be done
by those who are interested.
The reason that copper protection
was written into the Revenue Bill
rather than enacted directly as a tar
iff is that no tariff bill has been writ
ten since 1880, at which time the need
of copper protection was not as evident
as it was later The tariff situation is
now being handled under the reciprocal
tariff policies Of the administration,
hence there is no immediate likelihood
of including copper as tariff. Copper
must be protected by means OF excise
taxes in the revenue bills, which means
that work has to be done every two
years until such time as permanent
tariff legislation Is enacted.
The conditions which caused enact
nlent of the copper tariff Of 1882 still
exist today and will continue to exist
indefinitely. The United States copper
cannot compete with the foreign copper /
industry and survive because of the
low cost of production abroad resulting Z
from higher grade ores, enormous ore /
reserves, employment of indentured or /
peon labor, subsidizing of their own /
industry by foreign countries as neces-
Sary to their own national defense pro- /
gram, the production of copper as a +
in foreign countries, and 4
many other factors.
The continued protection Of the /
United States copper industry is neces-
sary if the United States copper mines
are going to maintain the wage scales
and standard of living to which United /

! pOrtation OF foreign copper ana has al
( lowed the United States copper indus
( trv to correct. in an orderly manner
I what appeared in 1882 70 be an impos-
sible situation. The mines have sue
cessfully iquid,ated huge surplus stocks
much of which were dumped into
this country from foreign shores just
prior to the original enactment OF this
tax
The United States copper industry
has recovered from the effects of for
eign competition prior to 1882 and is
now on the threshold of becoming q
healthy and enduring industry, employ
ing many thousands Of men, doing
millions Of dollars in business with
other industries, contributing greater
tonnage of freight to the railroads than
most other industries, and paying mil
lions of dollars to the federal govern
ment, states, counties municipalities
and school districts.
Largely because Of the efficient op-
Grafton of the excise tax on foreign
produced copper, the industry has
reached a point where it can look for
ward to q future in which 1t may con-
tribute largely to the prosperity Of the
country, but 1t can only do so by q
continuation of those factors which
caused recovery and the most import
ant of them is the reservation of the
United States copper market for
United States copper producers.
Five years experience with the cop
per tax has shown that, while it has
been very beneficial to the copper in
dustry and to the people Of copper pro-
ducing states, as well as many others
indirectly dependent, it has not been
harmful to anyone. Tariffs are often
paid by domestic consumers because of
a higher domestic price of the COM
modify protected. The domestic copper
price. however, has been consistently
in line with the world price and has
only advanced when forced to do so
by an increase In the world price.
In other words a healthy and en-
during copper industry has been Gre
ated in the United States by the simple
of reserving the United
States market to United States pro-
ducers but without increasing the price
Of the metal to United States con-
sumers.
The original enactment of the excise
tax was not asked until all other
means of obtaining the same objective
had been tried and failed. Interna-
,ional cooperation in copper affairs
had proven a dismal failure prior to
1892 but has been effective since simply
because Of the copper excise tax which
,erved to enforce compliance with
agreements.

Use tax in the Revenue Bill of 1887 Is !
