TOBACCO USERS
ARE FAVORED
Insurgcnt Republican Charges
Congress with Allowing Mil
lions of Revenue to Escape.

Washington, June -Rcpresentative
Warburton of Washington. a newly elect
ed republican insurgent in the House Of
Representatives charged Congress to-day
with letting millions of dollar go to waste
Il at it might collect in internal revenue
taxes on tobacco. He alta ,ked the pend
irg wool tariff revision offered by the
democrats. declaring that their pleas If
reednE revenue for the government
treasury was not a serious argument for
keeping high duties on wooden goods.
III the government would put a reason-
able tax on tobacco, which may be con-
s'dered a luxury said Mr.. Warburton,
1T could let in wooden goods, cotton goods
and sugar without any tariff whatever.
u this country taxed tobacco as England
CT France does, we could close the doors
Of all the customs houses except as TO
the importations of liquors and tobac-
cos"
Mr. Warburton said the democrats had
been afraid to reduce the duties on wool
any further for fear of the consequences
at the next election If the wooden industry
was Frustrated by the removal of pro-
lection. lie said the democrats had been
compelled to adopt the republican doctrine
of protection, and excused themselves
on the ground OF needing revenue.
"And in the meantime" said Mr.. War
burton. "Amercan people are paying six
times as much tax to the government on
sugar as they are on flve-cent cigars; u
times as much on sugar as on lo-cen
cigars; 90 times as much on sugar as or
25-cent cigars and GO times as much on
sugar as on 50-cent cigars. The rich man
who smokes a 35-Cent cigar pays one and
two tenths cents tax on each dollar
worth Of them while his gardener whc
smokes five-ceut cigars pays six cents tax
on his dollars worth and his washer
woman who buys dollars worth o!
sugar pays SO cents tax on it.
Representative Peters of Massachusetts,
democratic member of the ways and
means committee, said wool would have
been made free but for the necessity Of
raising revenue.

Could Raze City in Hour.

Boston, Mass, July 80. The adop-
ton of 14-inch gun which would shoot
with accuracy distance Of twelve OF
fifteen miles, would revolutionize naval
warfare. 1t would make all the coast
defenses Of the present day practically
useless, " says Rear Admiral Frances T.
Bowles.
"A fleet of foreign battleships, equip
ped with guns Of the new 14-inch type
could send into New York screaming
messengers of death and destruction,
sufficient to reduce the entire city to
ruins within fifteen minutes, even before
the coast defenses could train theirguns
ON the hostile fleet
II the new 14-inch guns turn out as
successfully as is hoped, says Admiral
Bowles, their destructive power will be
terrific. Not only is their impact very
great and their penetrating power pfac-
tically unlimited, but also the.ekplosion
Of the shell, with its large amount Of
dynamite, would play havoc that would
be appalling.
The coast defense would BE nothing
but last resort. Their value wouldbe
immensely impaired. They wouldserye
perhaps only to withstand an actual in
vasion should the enemy resort to this
after having completely demolished the
coast cities
For there is no doubt that a fleet
equipped with new 14-inch guns Of the
latest type could raze New York City
or any other seaport in less than an
hour y
