STAMP ORDER MODIFIED.
Imported Cigar Controversy De
cided by Secretary .Shaz0.

Washington, Sept 29-Secretary Shaw to-day
decided the controversy the form of the
stamp used imported cigars. He permits
the order of Assistant Secretary Armstrong to
stand, so far it relates to reducing the size Of
the stamp and to placing It in q less conspicu-
Gus place on the box. He reverses the order so
far as it required the stamp to be Of the same
color the internal revenue stamp. and it will
be placed on the bottom of the box instead of
the top. but the end where IT now appears,
opposite the internal revenue stamp
Secretary Shaw had been kept advised OF the
proceedings, and copies of papers filed in the
case had been forwarded to him. After the
hearing before the Acting Secretary last Satur-
day Mr.. Taylor made a concise summary OF the
arguments presented by each party to the con-
troversy for the consideration of the Secretary
on his return. When Mr.. Shaw returned to
Washington to-day he took up the case with As
sistant Secretary Taylor. and after interview
with the President decision was reached lin
his statement accompanying the decision the
Secretary said
The testimony establishes the fact that the
present stamp is used as a trade mark by the
cigar importers that this trade mark is valu-
able TO them and cOnfers an advantage upon
them against the manufacturers of cigars
In the United states. and that cigars are, in
effect, the only commodity imported into the
United States thatreceives the benefit OF such
government stamp. in its present form. I'M
doubtedly gives peCuniary advantage to those
using 1t. II seems that the order already issued
by the department Is. in its essence. proper
The governments business is to collect the rev.
enue and 10 provide so far possible against
fraud, but IL is not the governments business
10 furnish a guarantee in the form Of a trade
mark for the benefit of the goods. THIS should
be left in the tobacco business exactly as II
is in all other businesses.
The result Of the decision will protect the
domestic manufacturer from customs stamp
available as an advertisement, and It protects the
importer. also by giving him stamp Of a dis
tinctive color. which can be seen by the pur-
chaser II he cares to make examination.
The Secretary has given orders that new
plates he prepared for printing the stamps and
for placing them on the boxes Of imported
cigars. in accordance with this decision

rHE JaPANEsn FARMER.

The Japanese farmer is not the hap
py, happy being the United States
farmer is, and there are good reasons
why. For instance, he can't get much
land to make himself happy with. Ex-
elusive Of Formosa. there are only a.
995, 272 acres under cultivation. This is
less than one-third of the area of Kan
sas, but nevertheless over 40,000,000 peo-
pie get therefrom practically all that
they eat and wear. About fifty-five
per cent, Of the agricultural families
cultivate less than two acres each; thir-
ty per cent. cultivate two acres or more
up to a little less than three and three
fourths acres apiece, leaving fifteen per
cent. of the farmers who cultivate
farms of three and three-fourths acres
or more. A comparison OF the whole
area under cultivation with the number
of farm workers shows that, on an av-
|erage, one man cares for little less
than an acre, while one-half of the
farmers are tenants having no owner
ship in the soil. A japanese farmer
usually increases his income by engag
ing in some subsidiary industry such as
rearing silkworms, Keeling silk or spin
ming, and by working for wages in the
intervals of farm work. He seldom
uses a horse or other draft animal, and
his tools are of a very primitive char
Iacter. He fertilizes and cultivates very
thoroughly, and is thus enabled to Sc
cure abundant farvests besides often
raising two or more crops a year on the
same field. In the warmer ATTITUDES Of
Japan barley, indigo, beans and rape
are grown successfully on one plat Of
ground within the space of a year. A
farm, il it contains more than two
acres, usually consists of several nom
adjacent lots, the average size of each
being about one-eighth of an acre.
A Japanese farmer would at first feel
lost on one of the big and fertile farms
| of this country, but he would doubtless
soon find himself. He seems to be as
wonderful as the Japanese soldier.
