CONGRESSMAN CANTRILL TO
GET TOBACCO TAX REDUCED

Some time ago The Paris Tobacco
Board of Trade, representing all the
branches of the tobacco industry i'm
Paris, forwarded a telegram to Con
gresham j. Campbell Cantrill, pro-
testing against the proposed taxation
OF lOO% on manufactured tobacco. A
ieW DAYS ago they received the fol-
lowing letter in answer:
WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA, 1917.
The Paris Tobacco Board of Trade,
Paris, Kentucky.
Gentlemen
Your telegram relative to tax on
manufactured tobacco received a few
days ago. | would have answered
earlier had it been possible to secure
this information. l have been for sew
eral days hard at work on this propo-
sltion and have received information
which now think permits me to write
yous something definite
The Revenue and Taxation bill was
framed by the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House without having
public hearings or without opportuni-
ty from the members of the House to
be heard before the Committee. My
candid opinion is that it will be i'm
possible in the House of Representa-
tves to secure reduction of the tax
as recommended by the Ways and
Means Committee, although l will
make an earnest effort to secure a re-
duction of at least 500. The cultiva-
ton of tobacco on large scale is linn
tied to four States and for this reason,
tobacco has not very many friends on
the floor of the House, especially as it
is considered a luxury. The Revenue
bill now under discussion in the House
is the largest revenue measure ever
presented to any legislative body in
the history of the world 1t is four
times as large as any revenue bill ever
introduced in the American Congress.
The demand of war with Germany
make it absolutely necessary to raise
this tremendous and unheard of
amount of revenue. The Finance
Committee of the Senate which will
handle this bill in the Senate is hav-
ing public hearings on the bill and
strong protests in behalf of tobacco
growers. are being presented to that
committee. My candid opinion is that
the only chance to secure a reduction
of tax on tobacco as outlined in the
revenue bill will be in the Senate and
am doing everything within my
power to make that kind of fight, as
there are better chances to win a vic
tory in the Senate on this proposition
than in the House. AS you know, 1t
is always my earnest desire to serve
the best interests of the tobacco grow
ers of Kentucky and of course as
farmer and tobacco grower, feel that
we should pay our full part of the
war tax But also think that the in
crease of 1000 is entirely too much,
and will therefore be glad to follow
your suggestion to make fight for a
reduction of 500.
II beg to assure you that / will al
ways be glad to have your views on
matters of legislation in which you
may be interested. With kindest re-
CARDS and best wishes, l am,
Very sincerely yours,
-. G.. CANTRILL."

VOTERS WHO DO NOT VOTE.
Obligations of Citizenship That Are
Shamefully NEGLECTED..


1t would seem that if the Deople were
greatly concerned over any one thing
| above all others it would be in framing
the constitution of their commonwealth
their charter of government, with
which all laws and institutions are to
conform and the spirit and wisdom of
which enter into the moral fiber of the
community. The constitution fixes the
rights of the whole people, defines and
circumscribes them, supposedly for
many years ahead. No provision should
ever be written into state or national
constitution that is not of sufficient
worth and Of such general applica ton
as to make it in a large measure a
fundamental and permanent principle
OF human conduct.
But an examination Of the votes on
the adoption of state constitutions, and
especially on the adoption of impOr-
tant amendments to state constitutions,
disclOses the fact that less than one
third Of the qualified voters Of most
states signitied their preferences in the
matter. The figures reveal a shame
less and indefensible betrayal by the
citizen Of his first duty to society, to
his neighbOr, to the state and to the
general government.
We cannot study the statistics of
those votes without concluding that
what we need in this country above all
other things is an old fashioned revival
Of civic righteousness-the thorough
preaching of the gospel of civic re-
sponSibility. The power and the influ-
ence of state depend not on the mani
fold laws on its statute books or on the
number Of complex and experimental
theories that it tries, or yet on the ON
nipOtent care Of an expensive bu-
reaucracy, but rather on the earnest,
sustained, vigilant use of the instru-
mentalities at hand and OH the faithful
observance of every obligation that
binds the citizen TO the community, to
the state and to the country-SenatOr

YAKUTS OF SIBERIA.
These People Live In the Coolest Re-
gion on Earth.

These People Live In the Coolest Re-
eion on Earth.
The Yakuts are the largest and most
cultured Of all the primitive races Of
Siberia. They live in the great prov
ince of YakutSk, a territory five times
larger than that Of Texas together
with all the New England states. The
extreme northern part Of their country
is the coolest region on earth, the tenn
perature falling to 80 and 80 degrees
below zero. There the soil Is eternally
frozen for hundreds Of feet below the
surface; even at the height Of summer
only a yard Of unfrozen soil veneers
the admixture of earth and ice, afford
ing foothold for the gray tundra moss
and occasional patches Of grass and
dwarf willow.
The natives live in yourtas or semi
underground huts and few one story
log cottages, as do the Russian admin
istrative officials. For ten months the
country is a dreary, traCkless sea Of
driven snow, with far lower tempera-
lures than the regions about the north
and south poles. During the brief sum-
mer thaw Of two months the tundra,
as the open country is called, Is an i'm
passable swamp.
The Yakuts are the most numerous
tribe Of eastern Siberia, numbering
some 100000, and are typical repre-
sentatives of the culture of the Turk
ish tribes Of central Asia. In spite of
their present isolation from the other
branches Of the Turkish race and their
probable mixture with Mongols and
others, the Yakuts In the course Of
their migrations have preserved one of
the oldest and purest dialects Of the
language spoken by the KirghiE, the
Tartars and other Turkish peoples
