THE TOBACCO TAX.
1t May be Increased to 16 cents-The
Trust Favors 1t.

1t May be Increased to 16 cents-The
Trust Favors It.
A special from Washington says that
an increase In the tobacco tax from II
to 16 cents per pound aud striking out
the retroactive feature is the latest
plan of the Senate Finance Committee.
The Finance Committee is expected
to report the revenue bill the first OF
this week. Senator Daniel, a member
of the committee, is looking we'll after
the tobacco interests, and all other in
terests affected by the bill. as for that
matter. 1t appears that the Tobacco
Trust wants the tax made 16 cents.
Senator Daniel thinks it well for the
Virginia and North Carolina manu-
facturerS to continue their efforts not
only against the retroactive provision.
but against any increase above II
cents. The retroactive clause is be-
lieved to be as good as killed, but it
would be well for the trade to take
nothing for granted. The revenue bill
may possibly go to conference COM
mittee be fore it passes.
1t is understood that while the mat
ter of making the tobacco tax l6
cents per pound has not been discussed
in the Senate Finance Committee, re-
quests have been received by members
OF the committee from the trusts and
larger manufacturers to place the tax
at that figure. or course, the object
is to freeze the smaller manufacturers
out Of business. The Senator's, how
ever, who have been approached on
the subject are intensely suspicious of
people who want their taxes increased.
