NEWS AND COMMENT (Continued from Page 1) Studying Our Home Town Utah cities and towns do not need a new flock of skyscrapers, and yet there is something which can be done to improve our city or town as a spot to grow high class human beings. Some places have decided that they need new industries. Others have felt that they needed a political housecleaning. Still others feel that a general tax revision would release funds for better work in other fields. We know of a man who pays $96 a year taxes (including all kinds) on a $12,000 property.

One of the reasons for the defeat of Germany was that she did not have an adequate supply of raw materials, and of these, few were more important than copper. Many foreign countries now protect their copper industries with adequate tariffs, preventing copper produced in the United States from crossing their borders and it is only fair that our copper industry be given like protection. Certain copper markets have been closed to the United States by preferential agreement. The British fabricators promised to buy only Empire produced metal at the British Imperial Conference at Ottawa, Canada, in 1932, and France has agreed to admit Belgian coper into her country at a duty of 2 cents per pound while other copper pays a tax of 4 cents.
