Ten MEN RULE TOBACCO
STARTLING FACTS ABOUT THE
GROWTH OF BIG COMBINE.
Report of Commissioner of Corpora.
tions Reveals Trusts Grasp
,on the Industry.

Washington, d. C.-Methods by
which a comparatively few capitalists,
known as the tobacco combination,
have gained control Of the manu-
facture of tobacco, except cigars, are
revealed by Herbert Knox Smith, COM
missioner of corporations, in parts of
his report on the tobacco industry,
made public today.
The combination represents a total
so per cent of the outstanding voting
stock of the American Tobacco Co.,
which controls the entire combination,
is held by group of ten men.
A List of Subsidiary Companies.
A list of the subsidiary companies
controlled, Including over 20 hitherto
secretly controlled, so-called bogus in
dependent concerns" is given in the
report. 1t is shown also that the COM
bination is practically the only i'm
portant exporter of tobacco manu-
factures from this country. Astonish-
ing figures are given in respect to the
development of the combination. In
1891 it controlled 80 per cent of the
business of cigarette manufacture, and
this proportion practically is main
tanned to-day. In cigars it's output in
creased from 4 per cent of the
business in 1897 to IA 7-1O per cent in
1906, while in manufactured tobacco
(chewing, smoking, fine cut and snuff
the combinations output increased
from per cent of the total in
1891 to II per cent in 1906.
Growth of the Combine.
"An idea of the absorption of com.
peting plants" says Commissioner
Smith, ''and of the changes through
combination within the last decade
may be had from the fact that in
1897 the combination had ten plants,
each producing over $4,000 pounds of
manufactured tobacco or snuff per
year, while there were 243 indepen-
dent plants of the same class. In 1906,
on the other hand, the combination
had do plants Of this class and inde.
pendent manufacturers 140."

GOOD RESULTS
But the Future Work Is Matter Of
Doubt.

When the police jury decided to
work the parish prisoners on the pub
lie highways, a much needed work was
inaugurated, and the police jury was
commended for the move. The Jury
| looked about for business man, who
had some we'll settled ideas about
road building, and selected }, K.
! Martin to suptrintend the cOnstruc-
| tiOn of the highway across the parish
from east to west. MIR. Martin proved
to be a very competent road builder,
and besides, he was handling the ex-
pense in manner that was Satstac-
| tory to the taxpayers, But where
there is plum hanging on the public
tree, there are always plenty of men
anxious to gather it in, and that, too,
without any regard to the best inter-
ests of the public. One police Juror,
who has had an opportunity to de-
monstrate his inability to build a
road, has been making trouble ever
since this work vas started, anxious
it seems, to get his relatives and
friends on the job, and has continued
his line of fault finding until Mr..
Martin has resigned, refusing to be
nagged any longer.
In work like this proposed by the
police Jury, it opens up great oppor-
tunity for graft, and knowing this,
Mr.. Martin has shown a disposition
to handle the work and the expense
account to the best advantage and
therein he has offended few promi-
nent citizens.
If the jury will consider the matter
properly. they will decline to accept
Mr.. Martins resignation, unless
forced to do so. If the jury allows
the personal grievances of one or two
dissatisfied crOakers to influence them
to the extent of making change when
there are no grounds for change.
they will always be in turmoil and
accomplish nothing.
Mr.. Martin, SO We are informed, is
anxious to have tbs road work ex-
amined and his expense account gone
over and if any good reason can be
assigned for the treatment he has re-
ceived at the hands of one or two
kickers, he will submit. But Mr..
Martin is only one. while the people
of the whole parish are interested in
having good roads at the least ex-
pense possible, and there has been
enough OF graft and personal favors
dealt out in times past. What the
taxpayers along the route where the
new road has heen built demand, is
that Mr.. Martin be retained, even
though the police jury increase his
salary in order to keep him.-Jen-
nings Herald.
