The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1914-03-06

Representative Oscar w. Underwood
of Alabama, the leader of the majority
in the House, has introduced an anti
coupon bill, the purpose of which is to
tax out of existence the present prac-
tice of giving coupons with tobacco and
tobacco manufactures. The bill levies
a cent tax upon the issuing of such
coupons, prize tickets and other de-
vices, and on the redemption, payment,
purchase or exchange of coupons, prize
tickets, tags, bands or other articles,
things, or parts of articles or things
that shall have been attached to, or
packed in with, or formed part of, or.
encircling, or given with any manufac-
,tured tobacco. cigar or cigars, cigar
cite or cigarettes, or snuff, or any
stamped package or receptacle thereof,
and to forbid the packing of other
things into packages of tobacco, cigars,
cigarettes or snuff. AS the greatest
volume of the tobacco business is dis
tributed in the very smallest packages,
at the very lowest units of volume,
five and ten cents, it will be readily
perceived that the new tax of cents
in addition to the already high internal
revenue tax would mean the complete
extinction of the coupon for the con-
sumers of tobacco products. To single
out a single industry for penalizing
tax is distinctively class legislation as
the u. S. Tobacco Journal views it,
and therefore prohibited by the consti-
tuition.

The New Haven Breakdown.

While reports were somewhat conflict.
ing last evening as to the conditions OF
the New Ravens surrender to the de-
partment of justice, what appears like
sudden reversal OF its position of few
weeks ago can be interpreted only as
a result of the disarrsngement of the
financial markets occasioned by the Eu-
ropean war. Our correspondent says
that the trustees already agreed on to
take over the Boston & Maine stock
mus. sell it either with the ''string bill"
attached. or else get the legislature to
repeal that provision. This would mean
the keeping of the string, since our Bay
state lawmakers would hardly abandon
their contention when they saw the rail
road management so completely at thelt
mercy.
No one can charge the present man
agement OF the New Haven railroad with
lack Of amenability to public authority.
Bv private treaty with the government
II accepted the dismembernent in most
sweeping fashion Then the Massschu-
sets legislature imposed a new condi-
tion presumably lessening the selling
value Of the Boston & Maine stock in
volved. Now. If present reports are cor
roborated. this condition has been sc-
cepted. too. The New Haven evidently
feels in no position ~ fight. and has
no taste for further controversy.
Those Of its stockholders who win
criticize this course Of action should re-
member the exicencies which wartime
finances NAV occesion. and the need Of
business security az such time as this.
tn management knows where Il viii
stand BY accepting AR McReynolds' con-
ditions: u seemingly breads the unoer-
tainty that would attend any further
contest. And 80 IL beats q retreat.
