OBJECTIONS TO
SPECIAL ELECTION

IF I ordered special election under
the laws of Alabama, from 40 to 60 days
would necessarily elapse before the cleo
tion could be held, and its results ascer-
tained, and the state would incur
very large expense If an extraordinary
session of the legislature was convened
it would necessarily require considerable
time before proper legislation could be Sc
cured. In either of these contingencies,
the state of Alabama would be deprived
for a considerable period of time of its
right to equal representation in the Sem
ate, its right to have an equal voice with
the other sovereign states of the union in
determining important legislation now
pending.
II have not reached this conclusion
without having given the matter serious
thought, after consultation with many OF
the most eminent lawyers and judges Of
the state, who practically unanimously
concur with me in the conclusion | have
reached. that the executive has the power
to fill this vacancy by appointment"

Declares Trust Has In

of Being Dissolved-To
Press Amendment

Washington, August 12-That the to-
bacco trust. instead of being dissolved
by the decree o. the supreme court of
the United States. has increased its mo-
nopolistic control of tobacco manufac-
lures was asserted in the Senate today
by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, in dis
cussing the schedules of the tariff.
In announcing that he intended later
to press his amendment to the bill which
would place a graduated income tax on
tobacco production. Senator Hitchcock.
who bolted the democratic party caucus
on the tariff. said he intended also to
discuss the propriety of that caucus in
restraining Its members from support
ing his amendment.
II wish to call attention to the restraint
and monopoly exercised by few great
manufacturing concerns over the produce
ton of tobacco in the United States"
he said. II propose to show that four
great concerns, divided by the decree of
tAio GdPiCihC SOuils ioW OWiiCo ny lHC
same stockholders, and operating in close
accord, exercise a greater monopoly In
tobacco trade than ever before"
Reading from a paper containing sta
tistics furnished by the Secretary of the
Treasury he declared that these four
concerns manufactured last year II 3-5
per cent of all the tobacco manufactured
in the country; that three of these con-
Germs manufactured 80 per cent of all
the small cigars, and three of them s534
per cent of all the ribbon decorated cigar
cites.
Want Monopoly Curbed
III the American people are in earn
est and | believe they are they want
this monopoly curbed,s he said. IF the
United States Senate is in earnest il
ought not to permit any rule of party
caucus to restrain senator from voting
for a measure that will put a stop TO
this defiance of a judicial decree and
restore a condition of competition in the
world In tobacco manufactures
The tobacco schedule was approved by
the Senate without material amendment
and the principal schedules of the metals
were completed, with the exception of a
few paragraphs. These the finance COM
mittee has passed over for further con-
sideration.
The sugar schedule was left behind
because of the illness of Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana.
Debate was then begun on the agri-
cultural schedule, one of the sections be-
ing vigorously opposed by minority SEN
ators.
Opens Discussion
Senator Gronna of North Dakota opened
this discussion and proposed in lieu of
free listing of cattle a rate of $1.5O a
head on cattle less than a year old, So
a head on cattle valued at not more
than $14 and 20 per cent ad valorem
ON cattle valued at more than s14.
Senator Lane of Oregon said the
principal reason for free listing cattle
was that there were insufficient cattle
growth in this country to supply the
domestic demand.
