COPPER TAX ERROR
Those responsible for proposing a special war tax
on copper in the revenue bill would have considerable
difficulty i.i defending themselves against an Indictment
charging lamentable ignorance concerning the uses to
wlruh the red metal contributes. The special tax was
proposed on the assumption that copper is a particularly
fat and thriving war baby; that its vitality must he at
tributed to the milk or munitions' profit, and that there
fore it should be penalized.
The facts in the case are that copper exports have
decreased during the European war; that increase in
domestic consumption is largely responsible for the in
dustry's prosperity; that the inionity of the proposed
tax lies in the fact that copper alone of all the metals
Jias been Miigled out for taxation, while iron, steel, zinc
ar.d the rarer metals, escape entirely. It seems incerdible
that the United States senate will permit this discrimi
nption, nor that, should the bil! pass, the supreme court
would sustain it.
Pure copper is used in the manufacture of munitions
for only two purposes- the primer of shells and the ex
pansion ring that follows the rilling of the gun discharg
ing the shell.
The amount of copper used for this purpose s very
small, compared to tJie general production. A compilation
of the uses to which copper is put in the arti and indus
tries fills an exceedingly large volunftl, including the
manufacture of wire, brass, bronze, sheet copper, tubes,
etc an infinite variety of useful purposes to which dif
ferent manufactured shapes and alloys are devoted.
There are more than 2,000,000,000 pounds of copper
in telephone and telegraph wires in the world. In the
single long distance circuit between New York and San
Francisco there is about fi.OOO.OOO pounds of copper.
In the electrification of the 20 mlSus of the Hutte,
Anaconda. & Pacific railway between nutte and
Anaconda there was used 11,?00 pound? of
copper per mile, while in the electrification of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway 24.000 pounds per
mile were used. In an ordinary steam locomotive more
than 3000 pounds of copper are employed.
Copper enters practically into every line of trade,
including the electric lighting industry, the automobile
industry, boat and ship building, heating and cooking de
vices, building construction, hardware and coinage, etc.
Fully 100,000,000 pounds of bearing metal is milled
annually in the United States to take care of the de
mand for new journals. Of this amount so destroyed
probably 50.oou.000 pounds is copper. In the opinion of
C. F. Kelley, vice president and managing director of
the Anaconda company, it is doubtful if the demand for
tipper during the past year i;nd a half would mt have
been substantially as great, although the price would
have been much less, had there been no war.
Germary and Austria constitute the principal copper
customers of the world. In 1913 the United States ex
ported to Germany and Austria alone 5S7.000.OO0 pound i
of copper. This export business has been wholly d-
;t roved by the war.
The finount of copper that has gone into war muni
tions since the declaration of war has been considerably
lens than the amount which would have been furnished
to the market of w.'-.ich the United States has been thus
deprived. Another falla-y is that the export 'msiness
has tremendously increased on account of shipments of
rrpper to the allies.
.According to government figures the total exports
of copper during 1915 amoumcfl to about 0S2.0OO.flWt
pounds, as against S40.00,000 in 1M4. X17.000.00fl in 1911
fid 775.000,000 in 1912. In 1!H3 there was less eop,,er
exported from the United States to Europe than in any
year since 1H10.
Ot course, in addition to the raw copper exported, a
rery large quantity was exported in the shape of mnnu
iactured munitions, the exact amount of which is not
attainable. From these facts the conclusion is reached
t.'iat the end of the war will not witness any diminution
in copper consumption.
Some of our pro-German friends who are busy poirt- ;
ing out tiie debt civilization owes to Germany, emphasiz
ing Licbig's contribution to c':ennVtry, (Tim's to phys'es. J
Heihiholtz's to biology, etc., are strangely silent abe t j
Yon T'rpitz's contributions to frightfulnnss.

Washington, "a resolution was adopted in the senate re
questing President Wilson to transmit to the British
government an expression of hope that it would exercise
clemency in the case of all Irish political prisoners, and
numerous petitions received at the White House from
many sources asking that a plea for clemency be cabled
In England, the Manchester Guardian and a number of
other papers pleaded for mercy and petitions Asking fcr
a reprieve were circulated in London. Adherents of
John Redmond forwarded to Premier Asquith a petition
signed by six bishops, twci:l-six mem'ien; of parlia

of educators.
Pope Benedict interceded in Casement's behalf, e
deavoring to obtain grace for him from the Britishgov

STANLey-
THE MOST WONDERFUL YEAR. j
Official figures for our export trade in the year end- i
ign June 30 .substantiate the most optimistic guesses.
Our foreign commerce has grown incredibly great. In
twelve months it has amounted to more than $6,500,000,
000. We have sold abroad $4,334,000,000 worth of goods,
and bought $2.19S,000,000 worth, leaving a balance in i
our favor of $2,136,000,000. I
That is twice as great as our big favorable trade
balance of last year. It is nearly three and one-half times
as great as our highest record before the war.
And there are no signs of falling off, in spite of a few
pessimistic prophecies. Our exports in June of this year 1
v.-ere $465,000,000, representing an increase of $200,000,000 '
over those of June, 1915. Orders for munitions are not j
coming in so plentifully, because the allies are manu- :
facturing a larger proportion of their own shells, r.ut
there is a stronger demand than ever for shell steel and :
various other forms of finished steel.
The steel industry has not onlyji made enormous
profits, as shown by the latest report of the United
States Steel corporation, but steel men show. little fear
of profits being curtailed. The 1Tthlehem Steel com-:
ny is planning huge expenditures for the extension cf
its plant. Other industries reflect the optimism of thi.s
basic industry. It is posisble, and even rrobable if our
crops turn out well that the next twelve months will
be even more prosperous for the nation than t'le twelve
Tust ended.
If those German submarine merchantmen are going
o justify German expectations and nullify the allied
t'ockade, they'll have to sail more regularly and pronipt
y than the Deutschland.
Germany has agreed to settle with Switzerland for !
.lie Swiss citizens killed by the submarine attar-): on
i:e Sussex. Maybe after a few years more Germany ;
vi!l get around to paying for the American Lust'tdiiia
ictims.
Now that they're settling the New York garment
i
rike, of course there won't lie any reason for raising
!ie price of your next winter's suit or overcoat, i'.tit
!on't worry, the price will go up just the same. ,
