SPECIAL TARIFF FEATURE
WHAT THE REDUCED TARIFF MEANS TO FATHER

pound on filler tobacco is in effect to-
day. American smokers paid $6,120,O00
last year on this grade of tobacco.
Likewise the old duty of 35 cents a
pound on unstemmed filler tobacco
prevails. $17,700,000 went up in
smoke" literally last year, as the
indirect tax" on that article, and ST.
9S5,000 more in taxes on stemmed fill
Ter.
The Democrats even refused to re-
duce the tariff on snuff. They did,
however, slightly lower the import
taxes on cigar bands, especially the
fancy varieties-which may interest
the label collectors who paste up
vases, jars and ash trays in riot of
labels.
While the new law imposes a tax
lower by one-half, on cheap clay pipes
the regular~penny clay pipes will sell
for the same amount. 1T. DIS" how
ever, and other more expensive clay
pipes, will sell cheaper. For men who
use "makin's" no tariff saving can be
seen, unless it will be that he can get
a far better grade of paper for the
same or slightly lower price. The i'm
port tariff on "papes' is reduced 16
per cent. Republicans, however, de-
clare the importers will get the differ

PROBING INVESTMENT
COMPANY'S STATUS

Los Angeles, Nov. S.-Last night
the directors of the Los Angeles In
vestment Company signed paper,
which pledged the resignation of the
entire board if certain eminent finan-
ciers and business men of Los Ange-
les will agree to serve in their places.
1T is understood these gentlemen
will act, which insures a new board
of directors and a reorganization OF
the officials of the company.
The fact that an investigation into
the affairs of the Los Angeles Invest
ment Company by the postal authori-
ties has been going on for some time
was definitely stated for the first time
yesterday by United States Attor-
ney Albert Schoonover and Postoffice
Inspector C. S. Ranger.
"The investigation is now under way
and has been for several weeks" said
Schoonover. Tt will be continued
for some time"
"The investigation is in response to
written demands made upon the post
Office department at Washington, and
charges that the company sent through
the mails misleading statements" said
Ranger. "Who the complaining per-
sons were or how many there may
have been, l would not be at liberty
to state, did know"

Throw out the old cigar box,
Give me my pipe of clay;
For the tariff has raised the price of
cigars
And these prices | cannot pay.
Apologies to Mr.. Kipling.
Washington, Nov. S.-If kipling had
waited until today to write that poem
in which he made lot of women dis
like him when he declared,
"For woman is only a woman,
But good cigar is smoke"
it would have been necessary for him
to replace the cigar with a pipe, to
make it appeal to the average woman,
for the Democrats treated the cigar
and cigarette as l0c>uries. Which
means that instead of reducing import
duties on them, they either remained
the same or were increased. My Lady
Nicotine received few favors from
the new tariff law. Devotees of the
weed do not stand much chance of
saving any money under the new law
unless they smoke in pipe form. If he
smokes clay pipe, he'll he able to
save more.
