RED TAPE SYSTEM

An effort to abolish some OF tho red

several forms which have heretofore
been used in conducting the public

Whether the hint was taken from
the speech of Senator Aldrich in the
United States Senate some time ago,
that millions and millions Of dollars OF
the peoples money was being saaun-
dered in the operation of government
affairs, Is not known, but 1t Is certain
that a streak of economy is permeat-
ing the departments.
Forms and forms and then some
more forms have been printed at ar
enormous expense to the government

TO PAY NO MORE
FOR CIGARETTES
New Government Tax Will Not
Disturb Price Paid by
Smokers.

While the loss of profits to manu-
facturers of cigarettes under the new
tax rate which became effective on
July /. will amount to thousands OF
dollars on the years output. up to this
time there appears to be no effort on
the part Of the tobacco companies to
reduce the number of cigarettes In a
package or charge more for the usual
number.
Under the new internal revenue tax
there is an increase Of seventeen one
hundredths of cent on each package
of ten cigarettes. According to rev.
enue officials there will hardly ne any
change in the price of cigars and Gig
arettes as a result OF the higher rate.
When it is taken into considera-
ton that the American Tobacco Com
pany at one time issued coupons with
every ten cigarettes amounting in
value to one cent and some times
more, 1t appears that there Is safe
margin OF profit Notwithstanding the
increased tax.
Dealers said yesterday that some man
ufacturers have increased the price
indirectly, by putting little less to-
bacco In a package, but the price re-
mains the same, The ultimate con-
sumer is paying the slight increase be-
cause of the smaller quantity in a
pouch. There has been no change in
the price on cigarettes or cigars.
