Smoking More Expensive

isco Post.)
Only the smallest cigars, weighing
not more than three pounds per 1000,
are penalized by the new tax, but the
duty on such and on cigarettes is in
creased from 81 to rs cents per 1000.
Here again the dealer makes the most
of his opportunity. Packages of cigar
cites which formerly sold at two for
25 cents will now cost Is cents straight.
The cost of the new duty to the manu-
facturer is q cents a thousand. The
increased cost to the cigarette smoker
is $3.50 a thousand.
The average user OF tobacco should
be willing enough to admit that smok-
ing is a luxury. Whenever it becomes
a necessity, it is the surest signal that
it is time to swear off. 1t is a very
righteous system that luxuries should
be taxed, and no smoker will complain
of contributing his share to few mil
lions of extra revenue needed by the
government. He has, however, some
cause of complaint concerning the ef-
feet of a tax from which the manu-
facturer reaps about ten times as great
a benefit as the government.

Herrin Pats the Women
(san Francisco starr


Magnanimous Mr.. Herrin: when he
spoke to the students OF the Oregon
university he mentioned "men and
women" and then remarked apollo
getically and explanatorily:
you will observe that 1 include
women among those upon whom rest
political responsibilities. The fact that
women have not generally been
granted the suffrage does not absolve
them from this public duty. The de-
posting of a ballot in a ballot box is
but an insignificant part of the duties
of American citizenship. The creating
and fostering of intelligent public
opinion is an incomparably more i'm
portant matter and one in which wonl-
en- may be quite as influential as men,
and l have sometimes thought that if
those women who have striven to Sc
cure the right to vote had but turned
their labors toward the formation of
public opinion in furtherance of the
aims which they expect to reach
through suffrage they would have ac-
complished and will accomplish in the
future much more than could be gained
by the mere privilege of voting"

The political scullion from Seattle
Mr.. r. A. Ballinger-by the grace OF
Taft, secretary of the interior and de-
fender of the faith of special privilege,
has commenced his threatened SNAKE
killing in the department over which
he presides, and, to crafty the un-
worthy, the nation is to lose several
worthy, capable. patriotic men whose
sense of fairness and innate loyalty is
incompatible with the conduct of a
public trust as a private snap.
Pinchot has gone; CLAWS has gone;
Kirby has gone, and now the west is
to receive it's greatest insult by the
dismissal of Maj Frederick u. Newell.
director of the reclamation service, and
Mr.. Arthur P. Davis, his chief en-
gineer Both these gentlemen are able
to stand the shock of dismissal-a
badge of honor when administered by
such a hand-but the nation can i'll
afford the loss, and should rise up and
demand that personal spite be sent
back from whence it came-back to the
city Of Puget sound, where President
Taft mistook party fealty for states
manship, and thereby brought his ad-
ministration into disrepute.
The question of conservation or anti
conservation does not enter into this
matter in any way; it has gone beyond
that point, and now we are dodging

Snake Killing

ming Review)
political mad dog, frothing at the
mouth, running amuck through the
streets of public decency, swapping
and tearing at everything that looks
like an enemy. but still serving the
masters that placed him where he is,
and who alone can bring him to heel
where a good dog should always be.
If further proof of this mans unit
ness for high office were needed 1t has
certainly been supplied by his intem-
perate language during the recent In
vestigation, and since. He charges con-
spiracy to oust him from office, says
that "he does not blow worth q cent"
and, with the antics of ten-cent actor
on the Bowery. declaims. II am no
gutter" In this last statement he is
doubtless correct; it will surely take
surgical operation to part him from the
public teat to which he is hanging
mouth, hands, feet and toe-nails. AS
the months roll by and the administra-
tion becomes involved in deeper dis
grace through this mans connection
with it the apathetic attitude of the
president becomes more and more re-
markable to a great majority of the
people of the United States. They are
ready to give him credit for good in
tentions but in the matter of Bal
linger's retention he is seriously crowd
ing the limit of trespass upon national
patience.

Women will be very thankful to Mr..
Herrin, no doubt, for rep jating the
"fattery." 1t has n familiar sound.
Men have been a long time instructlng
them how insignificant" a thing the
ballot is. but women take notice that
every youth who comes of ege; every
man on the brink of the grave is
dragged to the polls IL they can get
him there: every rascal who has his
ballot for sale: every convict that doffs
the stripes whose citizenship" must
be Immediately restored every Afri-
can descendant; every Sicilian black
handler is gathered into the corral ter
the "mere privilege of voting" What
is the Herrin machine doing while ed
ucated women are being influential in
the formation of public opinion? Per
hapS. Mr.. Herrin's contempt for the
ballot may arise from Knowledge of
it's insignificant money value on occa-
sions. But why shouldn't women lin
fluence public opinion" Chat must
mean instruct voters), and cast the bal
lot also? Why shouldn't they be per-
mited to make choice how they will
handle the ballot and public opinion,
same as Mr.. Herrin does2

NSan FranC
Since July 1, when the new internal
revenue tax on tobacco and cigarettes
went into effect. the smoker has to
pay more for the consolation of the
fragrant weed. The new tax in itself
is not so formidable as the use the
manufacturers and dealers have made
of it.
The old tax on smoking and chewing
tobacco was cents a pound. 1t is
now raised to s cents a pound. The
small difference, however, has been
made the excuse for largely increased
profit for the manufacturer, the mid
dleman and the retailer. And the
change is covered in the usual in
genious way The pipe-smoker pays
the same price for his package of
tobacco, but receives only one and one
half ounce instead of one and two
thirds, as before. That is to say, the
consumer has to pay for about one
more package to make pound of
tobacco, while the increased cost to
the manufacturer is only cents
pound.
