Tobacco manufacturers and deal
ers will be considerably affected by
a provision which has been passed
by congress without attracting much
attention, as a part of the bill re-
rating 10 the tax and rebate on to-
bscco. The provision is that no
package of manufactured tobacco,
snuff, cigars or cigarettes shall have
attached any representation or
promise Of a ticket or chance in any
lottery or an immoral picture. The
provision will end a system Of adj
vertising upon which tobacco manu-
facturers have expended thousands
Of dollars. 1t is believed by internal
revenue officials that the provision
will prohibit the prizes that are
offered by nearly all manufacturers
Of plug tobacco and cigarettes,
awarded by presentation of a speci-
fed number of tags or box wrappers.
The question will probably be
brought to ruling Of the treasury
on a test case.
