TOBACCO TRUST SURRENDER?
Companies Agree to Sell to All Jobbers
on Same Terms as to the Metropolitan.

New York, April l6.--A new policy
which five big tobacco companies have
planned in an effort to meet the de-
mands of the government as indicated
in recent threatening proceedings here
will be put into effect within a few
days, it is learned here. Under this plan
the companies will agree to sell all job
bers on the same terms as the Metro
politan Tobacco company. The depart
ment of justice will withhold its APP
proval for the present, however, it is
said, until it can observe how the pol
icy works out. The companies alluded
to include the American Tobacco COM
pany. Independent jobbers recently COM
planned to the government that the
American and other companies were vio-
lating the spirit of the supreme courts
decree in the tobacco trust case by sell
ing only through the Metropolitan To-
bacco company of this city and discrim-
mating against the compliments. The
five companies were units" of the trusts
ordered dissolved.

resenting deferred use of resources,
but represents total permanent loss
of national wealth.
The mineral losses are considered as
national losses for the reason that the
mineral products of the country, becom-
ing articles of interstate commerce, are
used by the people of all the states
quite regardless of their source. For the
same reason. the cost OF investigations
looking to the prevention of these losses
should not fall upon any one state, and
ii conducted by each Of the states, the
result would be extensive and unneces-
sary duplication of effort and expendi-
ture. We can not expect the individual
operator to bear the cost of such investi-
cations for the reasons that waste pre-
yention with him is a question of tenn
porary profits, and his temporary profits,
in many cases at least, are greater by
virtue Of his following wasteful meth
DDS. With both the community and the
nation the situation is often quite differ
emit, and they must safeguard their own
permanent welfare.
