Senate Adopts $780,
600 Measure

Washington, D. c., Feb. 27.-The
river and harbor bill, carrying an APP
preparation Of about $1,000, 900. was
passed by the Senate today. All para
graphs giving authority to the FEEDER
al government to develop and lease
water " were stricken from the
bin except in the case OF the st.
AlaryS river, in which case it was
provided that the consent of Michi-
gan should be obtained before making
any such lease. This action was to
maintain the principle that the water
poWeT belongs exclusively to the
States in which it is located.
Euiogles were delivered upon the
lives of the late Senator Latimer. of
South Carolina, and the late Repre-
sentatives Powers. of Maine: Wiley,
Of I4abama: Meyer, Of Louisiana;
Brick, Of Indiana, and Granger, Of

ents to those of the Combination.
Conclusion.
These facts emphasize the conclu-
sion already drawn from the history
of the organization Of the Tobacco
Combination, that it's primary object
had been to secure a dominant posi-
ton in the tobacco business of the
United States with the result hat it
has q nearly complete control of it,
save only in the manufacture Of cigars.
The Combination has superior adj
vantages over competitors, from the
great size OF it's plants and from the
control of more efficient machinery,
but these alone have not been suffi-
Gent to enable it to increase it's de-
gree of control while at the same time
charging high prices for the greater
part of it's product, particularly in view
of the fact that many pre-
fer to patrOniZe independent concerns.
Despite enormous expenditures for
advertising and in schemes and des
pite frequent price cutting by means
of it's so-caIled fighting brands and
its bogus Independent concerns, there
has been in several branches OF the
industry, a. constant tendency Tor COM
petitOrs to gain business more rapidly
than h Combination and thus to re-
duce it's proportion of the output. n
tendency has been overcome only by
continued buying up OF competitive
concerns. ManV weaker concerns have
been virtually driven out of business
or forced to sell cut to the COnblna-
ton, either ~ reason Of h direct
competition Of the latter, or as an
indirect result of the vigorous com
petition between the COMBINATION anO
larger independent concerns. In the
case of the larger and more powerful
concerns which it acquired, however,
the Combination has Usually secured
control only by payin" a high price,
The immense profits of the Comblna-
ton have enabled it to keep up this
policy.

crease in the output of the American
Cigar Company, but it continued to be
less than in 1908; the company's pro-
portion of the total output stood at
14.7 per cent. g
Meantime the American Cigar Com
pany is making further experiments
With cigar machinery. 1t already uses
machines for the entire process of
making it's cheaper grades, and also
as an auxiliary to hand b in
making the better grades. The diff
culties the combination has met in Sc
curing a dominant position in the
cigar. business have arisen in part
from the fact that in all but the cheap
est grades OF cigars the greater part
OF the process has hitherto been by
hand. Under the hand method OF
production the small concern is at
little disadvantage in competing with
a great factory. If, however. ma
chimes capable of making completed
cigars can be generally introduced,
with the result that great factories
can produce much more economically
thar smaller concerns, and particu-
lariy If the combination can ecure
exclusive patent rights for the best
cigar-making machinery, it will be in
a much stronger position to continue
its campaign for the control OF the
cigar INDUSTRY
Transfer of Plants from Independent
Concerns to the Combination.
1t has already been pointed out that
the growth OF the combinations con
troll of the Obacco industry has been
primarily due to continual buying up
OF independent concerns. The extent
OF this policy may be seen by COM
pairing the umbe and OUTPUT Of to-
bacca factories owned by the com
bination and by independents, respec-
lively, at different periods of time. The
years 1897, 1900 and 1905 are the
most significant from this standpoint.
During the first of these years the
Combination had only a comparatively
small proportion of the production of
BY 1900, through the formation of the
Continental Tobacco Company and the
American Snuff Company and through
other acquisitions, the Combination
had established q very large measure
OF control, while in 1906 its domina-
ton had been still further extended.
n following table cover all the
plants engaged in the production Of
chewing and smoking tobacco and
snuff, these branches together cOnsti-
tuting substantially nine-tenths, in
value, of the manufacture OF tObaccO
with the exception of cigars. The
table shows the number of plants of
different capacities controlled by the
Combination and by Independent con-
Germs, respectively, during the three
years mentioned and the output OF
each class of plants.

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Wintergrecn, ThymOl, Glycer
inc, Etc, Used as Simple
Wash.

1t really seems strange that so
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when it is now no
longer a secret that oil of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine,
etc, makes a wash that is bound to
cure.
Old obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in a few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find Immediately that won
derfully soothing. calm, cool sensa-
ton that comes when the itch is
taken away. Instantly upon apply
ing few drops of the wash the
remedy takes effect, the itch is allay-
ed. There is no need of experiment
the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine.
ETC., in the right proportions our
selves we are using a prescription
which is universally found the most
effective. 1t is known as the d. d. d.

Compound. 1t is made by the D. D. D.
Co. of Chicago, and our long expe-
rience with this remedy has given us
great confidence in it's merits. Sold

Eat What
You want Of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest 1t.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
it Is weak.
You must eat In order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat suffic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach Is weak 1t needs help;
you must help 1t by giving 1t rest,
and Kodol will do that.

SOME TALK IN TEMPE
 0F A PACKING PLANT
Two Phoenix Men Here Yesterday
 Looking the Situation Over.

A couple of prominent Phoenix men were visitors here yesterday on a. mat ter of much importance to the "aiiey and to Tempe in particular. Readers of The Republican will recollect an article in yesterday mornings paper relating to the building of a packing plant and combined slaughter house. These two Phoenix men intimated that if conditions here were found favor able, 1t might be that this plant would be located on this side of the river at a point just outside of the city limits of Tempe. Since it is designed to ship to all points in the territory from this plant. it is obvious that Tempe offers shipping facilities as good as are of fered by any of the other towns in the valley. A suitable location can be se- cured here near the railroad and in ad- dition, the plant could secure water service from the Tempe city system, which is acknowledged to be the best in the country. Whether this matter will ever amount to anything or not remains to be seen. It is plain though that such a plant here would mean much to the town and citizens should give the movement every possible en- couragement.

Drill and guard mount are already over for this morning and the target detail is starting for the range"
 Nothing was said in the commGni cation about visitors but it is presum- ed that today will be so observed as has been the previous custom.
