Copper Tax Cut
|Okay'dBy Board

Although it is believed that the
Accent excise tax on foreign copper
will again be necessary at some
time in the not-too-distant future,
the Arizona Copper Tariff Board
has agreed not to protest the pas
sage of H.R. 260, the Patterson bill,
which authorizes the suspension of
the 4-cent excise tax on copper for
a further period of two years. The
present suspension period ends
March 81, 1949.
Sam H. Morris, chairman of the
Arizona Copper Tariff Board, has
transmitted the decision Of that
body to Congressman Robert l..
Doughton, chairman, House Ways
and Means Committee. This action
was taken inasmuch as the Arizona
Copper Tariff Board has always
appeared before these committees
in advocacy of the excise tax on
foreign copper.
In his letter Mohhis stated that
the Arizona Copper Tariff Board
recognizes the fact that there is a
temporary situation existing today
whereby the domestic copper mines
mannot supply sufficient metal for
domestic needs, and believes that
while there is a material actual
shortage, copper of foreign origin
should be permitted to enter the
United States duty free. He also
stated that the board believes that
there should be a definite - and

for the benefit of any one or all
of the States could be constructed
there had to be an agreement
among the states as to the appor-
tionment of the water of the river.
So the states got together to try
to divide up the water of the river
among the seven basin states, but
the best they could do was to et.
feet a division between the Upper
Basin states, (Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah, New Mexico), and the Lower
Basin states, California, Arizona,
Nevada). The Santa Fe Compact,
completed in 1922, accomplished
this.
The waters were divided thus:
It was assumed that there was
from 100000 to 100000 acre
feet year virgin flow of the Col
orado River.
100000 acre feet per year were
apportioned to the Upper Basin
states.
100000 acre feet per year were
apportioned to the Lower Basin
states.
Arizona Didn't Ratify
But q man from Arizona had
protested that the ella River,
which in its virgin state delivered
1000, 900 acre feet per year to the
Colorado River, was being used in
Arizona. He said that because
the Gila emptied into the Colorado
so far south that no other state
could use it, it should not be
charged to the Lower Basin states
out of their 100000 acre feet ap-
portionment. After m u ch argu-
ment his point was recognized and
an additional 100000 acre feet
per year was apportioned to the
Lower Basin.
All seven states were required
to ratify the treaty before it could
become effective. Arizona did not
ratify it; so the rules were changed
so that only six had to ratify 1t
before it became effective.
So we come to the Lower Basin
states and their division of the
8,5OO,0OO acre feet of water ap-
portioned to them.
The cities and farmers of South
ern California pressed for their
dam. They introduced the Swing
Johnson bill, which was to become
the Boulder Canyon Project Act,
providing for the construction of
Hoover Dam.
Southern California was the only
area in the basin that could inn
mediately benefit from Hoover
Arizona sun., 1949-02-25

Dam. The other six basin states,
fearful that the ambitious progam
of Southern California water in
terests would utilize all of the
water of the river before any other
states were in a position to use it,
protested the construction of the
Dam until it was definitely deter
mined how far Southen California
water developers intended to go in
the use of Colorado water.
After considerable argument
Congress passed the Boulder Can
Arizona sun., 1949-02-25

yon Project Act with the specific
provision that in order to protect
the other Basin states, California
must limit its use to not more
than 100000 acre feet per year
out of the Colorado River, plus
one-half of any surplus after 1868.
It was further required that the
california legislature pass a law
limiting California use of the Col
orado River to 100000 acre feet
per year, plus one-half of any sur
plus after 1868.

to freely admit foreign copper into
this country as the time will come,
in the not too distant future, when
domestic production will be ample
to satisfy all domestic copper re-
quirements.
"When that time comes" he said,
"it will again be of the utmost i'm
portance to protect and maintain
a healthy domestic copper mining
industry in the interest of national
welfare and security"
Charles H. Dunning, director, De-
partment of Mineral Resources, al
so has filed memorandum with
the two committees expressing the
willingness of his group to "a two
year suspension of the excise tax.
Dunning wrote:
Considering all factors, we feel
that H.R. 260 is justified and reas-
enable, but that there should never
be a complete abrogation of the
metal tariffs, or a waiver of them
for longer than reasonable per-
iod."
This same position has been TAX
en- by the group of copper pro-
ducers who traditionally have ad-
vocated the excise tax. In other
words, they are in accord with the
two-year suspension of the import
tax, as purely temporary meas
ure, embodied in H.R. 260 and in
reduced by Congressman James T..
Patterson of Connecticut. The
Arizona producers included in this
group are: Castle Dome Copper
Company, Magma Copper Com
pany, Miami Copper Company, and
Phelps Dodge Copper Corporation.
