Price Of Cigarettes VIII Be

ms Need Not Worry

New York, N Y, Feb. 25.-As the
result of conferences by cigarette
dealers throughout the country, the
price of cigarettes, it is stated, is
about to be raised, the increase 20
be one only in the sense that standard
prices are to be restored on brands
that during the last few years have
been selling in nearly all cigar stores
under the regular price.
Dealers, it is said, have found that
there was no money in cigarettes at
the cut prices and manufactures are
said to be threatening an advance
owing to the increased price of the
short crop of Turkish tobacco, so the
cigar store keepers got together and
have agreed to restore all cut priced
brands to the standard figures.

, Washington, D. c., Feb. 20. - Two
reports will be before the senate com
mittee on judiciary on Monday when 1t
meets to vote on the investigation OF
the absorption o fthe Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the United States
Steel corporation. Since the publication
of the majority report of the sub COM
mittee, finding that the merg:- was in
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
and administering severe re)uk, to
the president, the minority, Clark of
Wyoming and Dillingham;, hav. put
their dissent in the form of report.
All day there has been a variety of
wire pulling and manipulation on the
floor of the senate preparatory to- the
vote in the committee. The view of the
minority is that the senate does not
impose upon. the committee any duty to
investigate or consider whether tn cab
sorption was or was not legal trans
action. Therefore, upon that point, no
opinion will be expressed except that
in the judgment of the committee the
determination of that question "more
properly belongs to a court of compe-
tent jurisdiction in an appropriate pro-
ceeding with all of the parties before
it,"
It will be asserted that the direction
to the judiciary committee is limited
by the resolution to an opinion as to
the presidents authority ito permit the
absorption,'' as is shown by his mas
sage. 1t will be pointed out that the
primary inquiry relates to what the
presidents message discloses that he
did, and under what circumstances.
The minority finds that there were
just three things disclosed by the presi-
dents message that are important and
relevant. They are, that the president
told representatives of the steel corpor-
alton he could not advise them to take
the action proposed, that he felt it was
not public duty of his ointerposes any
objection under the facts, and circum-
stances, detailed to him; and that the

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PROMPT IN Their DUTY

General commentator of the
course of the county commissioners
in financially supporting Prose1dt-
ing Attorney Fred c. Pugh in the
grand jury investigation is being
heard. The commissioners have
backed up the prosecutor whenever
he called upon them for assistance.
Since the burden of the Gordon in
vestigation has been placed on Spo-
kane county the board is determin-
ed to do it's duty without bubble.
Lack of funds would make 1t inis
possible to launch upon an investi-
cation such as that being under
taken by the present grand jury.
The expense of subpoenaeing wit
nesses at a great distance, and the
guaranteeing of expense of such
witnesses should they come, as in
the case of the Great Northern Of
ficials at St. Paul, entails heavy
expense which the county at large
must bear in the interest of the
public good.
The first call upon the county
commissioners was when Judge j.
Stanley Webster, then chief deputy
prosecutor, went to st. Paul to de-
mand of Louis w. Hill, president of
the Great Northern, certain papers
relating to the Sparrow case and
other reported shortages of Judge
Gordon, for use before the grand
jury. The county commissioners
appropriated 5000 for this trip, but
Mr.. Webster did not use much over
half of it, and the balance was re-
turned to the county treasury.
The next step was the sending of
s. D. Doak, deputy sheriff. to St.
Paul to subpoena the Great North
ern officials, and then the action
guaranteeing the expense of the
Great Northern men should they
respond.
