Washington, May 29-The govern
ment today won a sweeping victory
over the SO called tobacco trust When

Byy directing that the combination

rates in harmony with the law WITHIN
six or at most eight months, the
courts regarded to have deal with the
tobacco corporation more drastically
than with the Standard Oil Co., Of
New Jersey whose dissolution was
ordered two weeks ago.
But the first and second sections Of
the Sherman antitrust law have been
violated according to the@government.
Not only has it restrained mlawfully
interstate commerce in the eyes OF the
court, but it has tended to mmopo-
lize the tobacco business to the IN
jury of its competitors.
The decision is characterized by
Attorney General WicIerham as U
tmos5 comprehensive ami sweeping
victorious for the government" ~
The Trust held to be a combina
tion in restraint of trade, a monopoly
in vloalation of law.

would be in stthe State treasury But IL
seemed to those In charge of the admins
tration of the State, and by that
do not mean anybody in the Legis-
lature but in the Executive Depart
ment. it seems to the men upon whom the
responsibility rest for administering the
affairs of the state. that it would be
wrong to allow the unpaid bills of this
state, many of which have been now due
for months, to go over into 1912. in9part
at least, but they all ought to be paid as
soon as possible. With that in view 1t
is suggested that a tax rate of 10 mills
for the two years instead of being divid-
ed equally between the two years should
be divided six mills for one year and four
mills for the other leaving about the
same financial result but bringing 1t
about quicker.
1t might be said in connection with
that, that even though we levied six
mill rate now We would receive no pro-
ceeds from it until next January. Yet
gentlemen will see with little thought
that while that is true. that six-mill tax
rate would at the same time alleviate the
present financial stringency, for this rea-
mills would be payable next January, to
be sure At the same time during the
same month you would pay to the town
the school money which is due them and
the railroad and telegraph tax money
which goes back to the towns and cities,
a total of something like 81. 100.0 600. Thos,,
bills are deferred as we'll as is the pay
ment of the State tax deferred, but in the
meantime much of that school money and
all of the telegraph and railroad taxes is
paid into. your treasury. In the month
of June the railroads pay half of their
tax; included in what they pay Is a cer-
| tain amount of money which will later on
be paid to the towns and cities in jan
| uary. The month of June the savings
banks and trust companies pay
their tax, and included in that tax
is about $4,000 which belongs to
the common school fund. In August
and September the wild land taxes are
paid. About the first of September
those taxes are practically cleaned up.
Three hundred and seventy-five thou
SAND dollars of the wild land tax was
paid last year in the fairly early fall.
A large part of that money goes later
on lntO your ScnOol luna. ii state TAX
of six mills is provided for so that the
school fund can be more than met with
it in January, you have available mon
ey all the way from June around to
November which cansbe used for cur
rent expenses of the State because you
have the means athand to reimburse
the school fund when your town taxes
are paid. So as matter of practical
finance the levying of six mill tax
rate now means making available by
the first of July sufficient sum of
money to clean up those bills which
have been hanging over us for some
months.
