Use made at the last session of the Ken

meeting Of the legislature two years
before the last session a law was
passed taxing all manufacturers of
tobacco in Kentucky, and compelling
each manufacturer to make a monthly
statement of the business done as the
basis for this tax.
When this law was passed Mr.. Smith
and other representatives of the CONT
mental Tobacco Company. which was

featuring plug. said that their company
had already planned to make Louisville
the centre of its manufacturing plants.
and to do this had proposed to close
