Beneficial Legislation For Arizona
PassedBy Seventy Sixth Congress

to $4,000, 900 annually, as we'll as
to have a positive effect upon en-
ployment.
Beneficial to the states copper
industry was legislation which eX-
tended until 1941 the four cent tariff
on imported copper, thus preserv-
ing the domestic market for do
mestic copper, most of which is pro-
duced in Arizona.
The 10th congress also came to
the aid of the state in it's closing
session when it made it possible for
the pennileSS state unemployment
compensation commission to quail
fly for further federal administra-
tive grants. The commission had
been cut off from the funds because
the state legislature failed to meet
July deadline in transferring state
railroad benefits to a federal board.
The commission was without cent
for administration when congress
extended the deadline until 1941,
thus allowing Arizona to qualify
for further federal help.
The lawmakers also appropriated
more than $4,000, 900 for the de-
velopment of irrigation projects and
for expenditure oal reservations.

Wayne Clampitt.
Jose Ramirez, 81, Juarez taxi
driver, waived examination and was
held under $4,000 bond.
Oswaldo Alvarez, % year old
Juarez shoe salesman, entered a
plea of not guilty. He told the COM
missioner he was making the trip
from Juarez to Nogales and return
on a share-the-expense basis and
knew nothing of the opium.
Clampitt held Alvarez under the
same bond but granted a weeks
continuance for further investiga-
ton of his case by federal officers.
Others said Ramirez, owner Of the

United Press Staff Correspondent


PHOENIX, Aug. 18-U.PO - A
survey of legislation passed by the
10th congress revealed today the
lawmakers had done more than
right by the state of Arizona.
Legislation raising or stabilizing
the price of two CT the states most
important metalS-copper and sill
ver-high-lighted the session.
The fight for higher silver prices
wes claimed when President Roose-
velt signed a proclamation offer
ing Till cents an ounce for do
mestic silver as compared to the
previously existing price 64.64.
The higher price for silver, how
ever, did not come by mere presi-
dental proclamation. 1t came after
a bitter fight which saw Arizona S
senators, Carl Hayden and Henry
Ashurst, balk from the ranks of the
the administration to hold out for
higher prices.
The final price of Till cents pre-
resented a compromise effected be-
tween house and senate conferees.
The new price was expected to
raise the value of the states silver
industry by more than a 81 1000, 900

THE YOUTH ADMINISTRATION
is DEAD TIMBER

While congress prunes federal eXpen-
ditures, it might turn a calculating eye
on the National Youth Administration,
deadest wood of all in the maze of bor-
derline federal projects.
Like so many other New Deal agencies,
the National Youth Administration was
founded on a theory with which nobody
could find fault. 1t is the theory that
youth should be given an opportunity to
find expression in the world, to learn a
job and to work at it.
The theory was grand. The operation
has been unsuccessful.
At the best, even if the theory were
carried out along practical lines, the
federal government could not train all
children in Jobs for which they are fit
ted. AS a result, discrimination has
cropped up. Only few from each COM
munity are taken.
The greatest fallacy of all appears in
the training of those who are enrolled
under National Youth Administration
banners. The boys and girls are not
trained in practical matters. They are,
instead, instructed as potential political
leaders among the younger Americans,
imbued with New Dealism, and sent home
to preach that political theory
