Trie Future of Copper
Copper mining men ale ret agreed, or, rut her,
I In y are not ye; of tiie same opinion regarding the
. . glee of I'l l m.inem y of the present high pile; of
topper. Scim of tlicm have statjd that they sus
pect that ilit- pt i. cs ale affected in some degree by
Hi inipiilaUon, and others, remember Hint several
.wars ago when in rcspt use in a genuine demand
i l ''" prices lose lo fin I a height that they
itli back siM b iip , Willi the result that t'le copper
pi otlticing industry was badly demoralized. Many
nun. eg nun felt at that time that lliey would pre
fir moderate, steady prices to figures, subject m
xi-.lcnt fluctuations.
Tin- Ann.. list rl New i in k lias sin interest ins
ankle by Adolpu Levvisohn, an authority on top
pi r. The present high prices, he. says, are, of
course, the result, of the tremendous demand caused
by the European war for that metal, and of the do
mestic demand lu till contracts for iiuinilioiis and
ilur military supplies. The demand for copper fol
io lustiiul uses is :.lso improving. So long as the
v.ar i o minxes, ilia dciiand is apt to remain very
logent. .Mr. Lewisoim bele-ves that the prit e is
likely to advance and at the present lime, lie s.iv s,
linn- is nothing in sight to bring about a decline.
'It is true." says .Mr. Lewisuhn. "the general
. pel ien e has been th.it w hen prices so very high.
it in! it looks as it t'.cy will g" higher, something has
happened to make prices decline, but it looks this
m
time as if prices wiii hold and go higher, and it is
quite possible that tl.de may be a runaway maiket,
though I hop. that will not be the case."
In one resect, says Mr. Lewisohn. tiie copper
situation is different Irum any that had previously
develop-.1. "Heretofore'' he says, " rising prices have
s. iiib'il to cin-. k consumption because a certain pro
portion of industry finds it unprofitable to use cop
per at higher prices, and. as a corset; ueiice. the sub
stitution of some other meti.1 in certain of the in
ilustrii-s w-mlii occur. This doi s not ho!d true now,
however. The advance in prices has had no effei t
vhaiever upon the demand for war puroses. The
belligerent nations must have the mct.il regardless,
of prices."
And then, then- is the aftermath. When peace
is restored general business will p.'obably be good
ami prosK'rity will graiUially follow, llovv far the
tessation of war orders will be counter-balanced by
I he improvement in general business which is likely
lo take place on account of the rebuilding att-i
u storation that vv il! be m - essary when the war ends
and the greater corfibence that vill naturilly pre
vail, it is impossible to say. Iiiit it may be assumed
I hat one wil! offset the other.
The Eritish and the Liquor Problem
The peopde of this country who have been en
gaged for many years in living to solve the problem
of I he lepior iraffie must look uiion the British who
are now undertaking it. as tottering youngstcis. The
pt ople of more than half the area of the Tnited
States are now of the opinion that prohibition is tin
only solution. Kvery form of minor restriction had
leeit tried and dismissed.
The liritish, w hose attention to the liquor problem
was provoked by its interference with war opera
tions, werccxpcctcd to take some radical and sud
den step for the paralysis of the rum power. We
who have had more experience are. therefore, amazed
at the futility of the plan the British have adopted
to restrict the use of li-iuor by doubling the duty
on spirits.
There was a lime in this country when we
thought we could keep the consumption of liquor
v. ithin proper ImhiihIs. . Previous to the Imposition
or an internal revenue tax on whisky, thut li-iuor was
sold at Jl cents a gallon. It was obtainable every
where, at the cross-roads store ind the corner gro
cery. The saloon was not thtn an institution. There
wi re, of course, bar-rooms, but they were not pre
tentious affairs, were not held in repute and were
not regarded as sources of great piol'it. '
M mv families kept whisky in their homes, ac
cessible to all members. It was comoarat ively sel
dom used to exees-s. Drunkenness, thai is liestial
drunkenness, was much rarer man it became Liter.
The unfortunate who made a beast of himself was
regarded as a more desoieable creature than his
counterpart of the present day.
Then came the internal revenue tax. a war
measure, adopted by us. Ix-c.-iu.se we needed the
rioney. and not. as in the case of our British friends,
l ocalise w e needed increased ef fi. ienev . The com
paratively few total abstinence advm ates of that period
rejoiced. They saw the early doom of the liipior
traffic. People wh-j had been buying whisky for
-." cents a gallon would certainly not pay the added
levenue tax of $1.10 a gallon.
liut that is precisely what they did. The saioon
business began at once to flourish. Saloon tax
licenses were imposed by the nation, state, county
and municiiialilv. The cross-roads store and the
corner grocery went out of the liouor business. The
process of dispensing it had become too expensive.
The business was centered, in the saloons which were
made as inviting as possible, lien who had been
taking, and had been satisfied with, two drinks u
day of liiiuor that had cost them ii."i ctnts a gallon,
readily took to drinking several drinks a day of
liouor that cost from lu to la cents a clink. The
internal revenue tax on liquor became the founda
tion of many a private fortune. Our liritish friends
will, doubtless, learn that strong drink is one of the
commodities whose use is not affected by the high
cost ot it.
It may be. however, that the British in adopting
iliis maimer of dealing with the liquor traffic are not
the victims of an illusion, but of necessity. They
not only lack the support of tin- church, which has
been th" j-hief force behind tiie prohibition move
ment in this country, but they have encountered in
the church a strong -obstacle to prohibition. Ac
cording to Ibe dispatches describing the proposed
legislation, the clergy have discouraged total absti
nence, have spoken against it as to themselves and
a high prelate confessed that swearing off in his
case was a physical impossibility.
An election of a Queen o" the May was con
cludcd at Mesa last night. We suppose, of course,
the municipality will furnish ear-muffs for the
queen during the ceremonies today.
Two appropriation bills in two weeks for the
maintenance of legislative machinery is not a bad
it cord for activity. Yt t there are some who accuse
the solor.s of idling away their time.
Whoever invieglert Mr. Barnes of Albany into
that liln-I suit hits done more to injure his reputation
than all the colonel ever said or wrote ag.-inst him
If lleimy Kauff can slide to bases with the same
facility1 with which he slides from one league to an
other, his services ought to be in demand.
"Seven Days" sho.ild have had a longer run. It
was manifestly impossible to ciowd nil the funny
events into two brief nights.
Any member of the legislature would be war
ranted in rising to a question of personal privilege
concerning this weathtr.
The old-timers who contend that the climate of
ihe valley is (hanging, have rather the best of the

RADIO STATIONS BELT IN GERMANY
Before the outbreak of the win the :;-rniaiis
wre engaged in (he .ointruct.n of a series of
wireless stations, which have si. ue probably been
completed, forming a ring entirely around the Her
man frontier.
These stations are thought to have been planned
pari ieularly with the id.-a .if increasing the effi
ciency and safety of operati-m of the Zeppeline
:.!id other military aircraft, as with the aid of t!ip
stations an airship is not only einnled to keep in
(instant touch with a Cirman bate during on expe
dition, but can determir.e its own location when
the land is obscured by clouds or mist.
In addition to these wireless stations, nil tin
large aerodromes in tiermany are equipped with
powerful wireless, so that no aircraft, apparently,
need be beyord th- ranie of wireless eoinmcnioa -lion

THREE GREAT WATERWAYS
Now, the historic relation among these water
ways is this: That it whs the seizure of the Dar
danelles and P.osporus by the Turks that sent t'o-
lumbus in quest of the Panama canal tnat is, in
quest of a water highway from Kurope to Asia
across the Atlantic and !t was as the sut l essor of
the obsolete Iiyzantine route to India that the Suez
canal v.cs planned and constructed. The epochal
coincidence in the history of the thiee convincingly
emphasizes the satisfaction which is to be lelt it
the American control of the Panama canal. We can
realize how .leploroblc and, indeed, intolerable, - it
would be for that highway to be placed under amh
bigoted, selfisll and exclusive rule, as that which for
centuries lias controlled the Dardanelles; or to be
subject to the menaces and ilislurbiMiccs which have
at times assailed the Suez canal, and which would
frequently prevail there were it not for the asser
tion of British authority. Yet the former history
of the Isthmus of Panama suggests that if left m
local control the faie of the canal there would be
comparable in evil with that of the Dardanelles
under Ottoman rule and that or the Hues, under na
tive Kgv'ptian rule. These latter have only now,
after many years, and as a result of inestimably
we have peacefully assured to our canal from its
very inception.
TAX REFORM SUBJECT IN MICHIGAN
I,ANSINO. A conference on tax reform will In
held here, for a full and free discussion of pl.-tis for
relieving the general public of the growing burdens
placed upon It. by the present system. Not only are
prominent Michigan reformers here in numbers, but
many guests from outside states will aid the con
vention in the discussions. A sentiment was freely
expressed as the conference oiK-ned that some sys
tem must soon he devised by which enterprise and
industry shall not be discouraged by taxation. Tin
attendance of prominent civic and business leaders
from Detroit and other Michigan cities gives promise
of a permanent organization w hich w-ill vvoi k for
definite methods of tax relief. The sessions will
be made interesting by prominent speakers on tax
