Tobacco MonopoIy IN France.

An increase in the tobacco tax In
France has brought forth mass of
ctficial statistics on the subject of Its
productivity. Every Frenchman, 1t
appears. spends on an average of IS
francs year on tobacco, and of these
Is francs not less than II francs and
81 centimes go to support the reye-
nue.. The monopoly was first insti-
tuted by Louis XIV. in 1914. The
revolutionists abolished 1t In 1891 and
the Bourbons restored 1t In 1917. In
the first year of its renewal 1t brought
in an income OF f2.s40.000. In 1908
it was yielding f11,3s0,000. In 1908
the yield was f20. 100000. and the
minister of finance estimates that In
a years time It may be expected -
yield little short OF f23 900. eco.

parsimonious appropriation which
made it necessary to cut out several

Will NOT ADOPT
TAX AMENDMENT
Small Probability of Legislature Rat
flying Income Tax Clause Of Fed
eraI Constitution.
Special to The Ne1CS.

Special to The NeioS.
: Jackson, Miss, March 2.-There is
no likelihood that the legislature will
before the adjournment of it's present
session, adopt the proposed consti-
tutional amendment to the Federal
constitution providing for an income
tax.
Concurrent resolutions proposing
the adoption of the income tax were
introduced in both bodies during the
early part of the session. In the low
er house the measure failed on first
effort at passage, since which time
the subject has been RELOCATED to the
limbo of things forgotten.
There does not appear to be any
violent objection to a Federal income
tax among the legislators, but very
few of them are willing to take the
time and trouble of going deeply into
the subject. In fact, it is doubtful
whether more than twenty legislators
have taken the trouble to study the
subject, and get to a clear under
standing of what it means despite
the fact that the income tax is one
of the principal planks in the last
platform adopted by the Democratic
party.
South Carolina is the only South
ern state that has ratified the in
come tax clause during the present
year, and the action of the legisla-
ture in that state was largely due to
the influence of United States Sena-
tor ]. w. Bailey, who delivered an
address before the body. 1t is signi-
ficant, by the way, that this action
took place in the home state of John
c. Calhoun, the foremost exponent of
states rights, and in a commonwealth
where an effort is now being made
to collect a state income tax which
will have to be abrogated in event
the Federal clause is adopted by two
thirds of the states. South Carolina
can hardly hope to assert her right
to the collection of tax of this char
acter, when the Federal government
is collecting identically the same tax
from her citizens.
The advocates of the income tax
wrote a number of letters to men,
bers of the Mississippi legislature
suggesting that Senator Bailey be in
vited to come to Jackson and address
the lawmaking body on the subject,
but thus far the invitation has not
been rendered, despite the fact that
Senator Bailey is native MISSISSIPPI
plan, and would be given a cordial
welcome by his many old friends in
tbs commonwealth.

impromptu meeting, and that while
1t represented practically the unani-
nous sentiment of the local bar, it
would be supplemented little later
with the signatures of those who had
not yet been seen. Judge Potter was
in the delegation.
The governor told them that the
application and endorsements would
be carefully considered, along with
others, and that an appointment
would be made during the present

day." said the governor, that would
have this appointment to make, and
have not, of course, considered it.
Endorsements from members of the
bar form very important factor in
determining to whom an appointment
should go, but it is not the only fac
tor, and all will be considered to-
gether."
Later the governor stated that he
had not as yet received any other
applications, but that it was his in
tention to communicate with others
who might be willing to be persuad-
ed. '.iI
In this connection he called atten-
ton to the fact that ne had recently
rendered the office of attorney gener-
al, not yet vacated, but soon to be
made vacant by the resignation OF
Hon. ]. B. Stirling, to Hon. c. H.
Alexander, who declined to accept it.
The inference was that he might ten
der the new judgeship to someone
not in any sense an applicant.
