We notice tha; there is some chance
Of an extra war tax being placed on

the Sleo.o0o.o00 that II is proposed to
raise. We hope there Will be some
other way to raise this S5.o00,000. AS
cigarettes are already heavily taxed.
and the sharp competition on this class
Of manufactured tobacco, and as the
margin OF profits made on cigarettes is
small. the extra IAN would bring some
hardship on the cigarette manufacturer.
We are still hoping that tobacco VIII

100 Years Ago Today

- Ne HUNDRED years ago today
the steam frigate Fulton" the
- first steam vessel OF war ever
built IN the world, was launched at
New York The vessel was designed
by Robert Fulton and was built with
an appropriation made by congress IN
1913. It fulfilled all the expectations
Of its builders. but was not completed
in time to take part in the second war
with Great Britain. The navies en-
gagged in that war consisted wholly OF
sailing ships. some Of these carried as
many as - guns each and otherwise
were very formidable engines OF de-
struction. But even the largest Of
these were soon discarded from the ma
vies OF the void after the appearance
Of the steam warships OF which the
Fulton" was the pioneer. The com

naval development that was not TO be
equalled in Importance until the build
