Junk-sho- The continued protection' of the United States copper Industry is necessary if the United States copper mines are going to maintain the wage scales and standard of living to which United States citizens are accustomed. No more Is being asked than sufficient to equalize the difference In costs between United States and foreign mines as caused by the better conditions for workmen prevailing in this country. The continuation of the excise tax on copper Is essential to the w In al states are directly dependent upon the operation of the copper tries In all states are directly dependent upon the operatlonof the copper mines and many times more are Indirectly dependent. This not alone applies to the enormous direct purchases of materials, supplies, and equipment by mining companies, but, even more purchases of food, clothing, and other necessities by those directly and Indirectly employed. The Influence of copper mining extends to every state In the U. 8. es Without contlnud protection a complete collapse of the United States copper Industry would be Inevitable, which would throw out of work many cut off the release of thousands who have recently found States as a result of InUnited the sums of money spent throughout great creased purchases by the copper mines and their employes, seriously cripple the revenues of many states and the United States by loss of taxable wealth, and have many other equally detrimental effects.

The conditions which caused enactment of the copper tariff of 1932 still exist today and will continue to exist Indefinitely. The United States copper industry cannot compete with the foreign copper Industry and sur vive because of the low cost of production abroad resulting from higher grade ores, enormous ore reserves, employment of lndentued or peon labor, subsidizing of their own Industry by foreign countries as necessary to their own national defense program, the production of copper as a In foreign countries, and many other factors. ben- have successfully liquidated 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 foreign competition prior to 1933 and la now on the threshold of becoming a healthy and enduring industry, employing many thousands of men, doing millions of dollars In business with other Industries, contributing a greater tonnage of freight to the railroads than most other Industries, and paying millions of dollars to the federal government, states, counties, municipalities, and school districts. Five years experience with the copper tax has shown that, while it has been very beneficial to the copper Industry and to the people of cop-pe- r producing 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 commodity 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.

Inasmuch as this tax vitally affects Magna, Oar' field, Salt Lake county and the entire state, and the livelihood of everyone In this vicinity, we earnestly ask your whole-heart- ed cooperation. Citizens cooperation here proved to be a vital factor In securing the successful completion of the project two years ago, "Now we want help again and the first place the Arizona Copper Tariff Board looks to la our friends and helpers of the past," states Charles F. WUlls, assistant to the secretary. The present copper excise tax, which expires In June, la going to be A torderjobjhia year than ever before for two reasons; first, organized opposition from those who own foreign mines and who want the United States market; and second, opposition from those who erroneously be Ueve that-th- e copper Industry has now recovered.

The free admission of foreign-produccopper into this country would quickly bring the industry back to its 1933 chaos. The people of copper producing states such as ours, do not need to be convinced as to the necessity for a copper tariff or excise tax, but they do need to be educated to do something about It Whether or not there is a continuation of the copper excise tax depends upon Congress and not upon public opinion except insofar as public opinion makes Its wishes known to members of Congress. Therefore, the problem Is to let members of Congress know .what is wanted. There are but few members of Congress from copper producing states, and they, as a whole, are vigorously after a continuation of copper protection. The majority of the members of congress, however, are from states which have no direct Interest In copper and they do not know or appreciate the extent of their indirect Interest Whether they vote for or is largey dependent upon the Information given by their constituents. Most often they have nothing against copper protection or. as far as they are personally concerned, nothing for it. They are personally uninterested, yet Therefore, the Important members of Congress are the ones from the 41 states where copper is not a major Industry, and the most effective work Is that which can be directed to this group. The Congress of the United States placed in the Revenue Bill of 1933 an excise tax of 4 cents per pound on foreign produced copper. This Act would have automatically expired In June, 1934, If It had not been extended for one year by Presidential Proclamation. Then, In 1935, the same tax a as written into the Revenue Bill of 1935, which automatically expires in June, 1937, and which Is now In the process of being rewritten.
