10 the committee that during the last year
tne railing off in revenue from ndhuiac-
tured tobacco aggregated almost Two mil
non dollars, caused entirely by the Tree
sale OF leaf. The product OF the mahutac-

facturers are asking the committee either
to put the tax on the manufactured
article or restrict the trade so that they

lnasmuch as this free trade IN TOBACCO
operates TO the advantage OF me FARMER
there is dislike on the part OF the COM
inlttee TO put tax on IL. but IL Is likely
mat the trade will be restricted 10 the
FARMER OF produce alone. and That when
IL comes into the hands Of the dealer the
tax Will be assessed
Nhile the manufacturers are not taking
any special interest in the proposed in
crease or the tax on the manufactured
product IL Is said that the Treasury De-
partment would like to see the tax In
creased, as that would bring in immedi-
ateiy ready money. Secretary Carlisle
sought 10 have the House committee, IL
Is SAID, Increase the tax on manufactured
tobacco, but IL was not done, and ii is
now said that he has made a similar
enort IN the Senate. but there appears 10
be a dislnclination on the part Of the
Senate committee 10 advance this tax
80 iar as the manufacturers are con-
cerned-and there were many Of them at

creased tax simply means an enhanced
cost 10 the consumer. and matters moth
