HOW Can YOU TELL YOUR
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
In their pipes to find out If they like it.
Tney can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
fiavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities OF the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
fiavorings-chocolate. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity Of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILLS ARE
COMING INTO THE LEGIsLA-
TURE IN UNLIMITED
NUMBERS.
ROAD COMMISSIONER RESIGNS
Various Bills Before Legislature. to
Give Control Of Utilities to State
Public Service Com
mission.
BY William Lee Calnon
Lansing, Mich.

hduSiu6, MiSu.
Public utilities bills galore have
been coming into the legislature until
every possible angle Of the utilities
question has been brought out. 1t
would seem from the effort on all sides
to supplant the state railroad COM
mission with public utilities commits
sion Of some sort that the days of the
railroad commission are numbered.
In the evident belief that such is
the case, Chairman Cassius l.. Glas-
cow, of the railroad commission, sent
his resignation to the governor, Ito
relieve the governor of embarrass-
ment" in connection with any new
deal. The senate is holding up con-
firmation of the reappointment OF
Commissioner Charles Cunningham
and is demanding the resignation or
removal of Commissioner Addison
Keiser. The senators are wrathy over
the decision some months ago by the
commission in favor of increased tele-
phone rates, a decision later over
ruled in the courts. Chairman Glas-
Cow disagreed with the other two
members on their phone rate finding,
so was not in the bad graces OF the
senators.
The legislature has before 1t bills to
give all rate and service control in
the state, including control over city
owned utilities, to a state public SER
vice commission; to give all ratI and
service control to cities, villages and
townships, over utilities operating
within their limits; to give state pow
er over all utilities except those In De-
troit; to give a new railroad commits
sion power only over railroads. Also
constitutional amendment has been
proposed to give definite power to the
legislature to pass laws allowing cit
les and villages to fix rates of public
utilities.
: Out of this wide variety of choices
the legislature is expected to pick
some method of controlling utilities
henceforth. The cities, through the
league of municipalities, are insistent
on home rule being followed and the
cities given the right to control the
companies operating In them. Detroit
is anxious lest even its present con-
troll over some rates be lost in the
shuttle. The utility companies are In
sistent that they do not care so much
who controls and supervises, so long
as they are dealt with fairly and know
where they are at. They say they
fear a split control which would keep
them busy obeying both city and state
orders.
Among the many bills offered for
new state utilities commission is one
which is said to have the backing OF
the governors office. 1t has been In
troduced in the senate by Senator De-
Land and in the house by Rep. Brewer.
It provides for commission OF three
to succeed the state railroad commits
siono, taking over all the latter's func-
tions, and with authority over all rates
of utility companies. A special pro-
yiso leaves to cities Of more than 25O,-
600 control over rates Of street railway
and gas companies.

Appropriation bills have become the
chief feature OF the lawmaking ses-
sions here. When the legislators can
see the end OF the measures providing
the cash for the maintenance OF state
institutions and departments they will
be able to set time for the 1919 ses.
sion to adjourn. Everything that can.
appropriation bill is passed will be
allowed to go into the discard.
Some lively battling over appropria.
tion measures features their considera-
ton. The actual amounts alloteu are
not the cause OF the battling, nut the
new budget commission method is. a
number of senator's object to the
clause in the budget bills which says
that all acts and parts of acts con-
fiicting with budget bills be repealed.
They assert that this repeals. by i'm.
plication, the graded salary law.
SO they have taken a stand against
giving immediate effect to apprOpria.
ton bills and thereby are making
things uncomfortable for the food and
drug department, the first big state
board whose appropriation was en-
countered. The departments funds
will run out July l, when a new fiscal
year starts. and unless the new ap-
preparation is available at once the de-
partment will have to wait until ninety
days after the close Of this session
about mid-August-to get its new
funds. The enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws is up to this department,
among other things.
1t takes % votes in the senate to
give immediate effect to any measure
and only 30 Of the 32 senators were
present when the food department bill
was up. Nine senators voted against
giving the bill immediate effect, leav-
ing only 81 to vote in favor of it. "A
later vote, with one or both of the
members on hand who were absent on
the first vote. will be necessary to put
it over. The nine senators opposing
the immediate effect clause were

When the matter Of the Rhineland
was taken up the effect of the German
protests again was evident. 1t was
virtually decided that there shall be
no buffer republic on the left bank of

be neutralized and policed by allied
troops until the indemnities are paid !;
that the Saar coal basin shall not be
allotted TO France, but shall remain
under German sovereignty, though its
products shall go to the French for
certain period Of years. 1t is presumed
that French and Belgian troops would
hold the left bank of the Rhine. since

That it is the sense of this informal
conference, representing the agricIi-

farmers of Michigan shall actively
project themselves into the campaign
of 1920, especially for the governor

Prodded by the public opinion or
most of the world, and particularly by
the insistence of President Wilson,
the peace delegates in Paris speeded
up their work last week and really ac-
complished something. Mr.. Wilson, it
was reliably reported, told them that
If results were not forthcoming soon
he might reveal TO the public the real
causes of the delay, and just before
that he issued statement denying
that the discussions over the league
of nations were to blame in that re-
spect. No one nation, said Mr.. Will
son. was solely TO be blamed for hold
ing up the peace treaty, but dispatches
from Paris make II fairly clear that
many of the bitches bave been due to
the disparity between what the French
demand and what the Americans,
sometimes backed by the British, are
willing to impose on the conquered
Germans.
IL present indications go for any
thing, those same beaten Huns are
going to come out Of the peace con-

Four last week concerned themselves
mainly with the major questions of
reparation, the west bank of the
Rhine. Danzig and the Italian frontier.
Unofficially, Germany has been taking
part In the conference, and its argu-
ments, presented by public officials,
the national assembly and the press,
seem to be having decided effect.
Though France still asserts that the
Huns should be required to pay the
last penny that can be got out of
them, and in this are supported by the
public opinion of most of the civilized
world, the peace delegates. influenced
apparently by the American represen-
tatives, have been scaling down the
amount of indemnity more and more
until the prediction now is that it will
be less than S20,000,0 100000. How
Germany shall pay and how long a
time shall be given her proves SO COM
plicated a question that it was consid.
cred probable last week that all that
will be left for decision by commits
sion after peace has been declared.
Germany has gold reserve of more
than $50OO00.0OO, and likely a part of
this will be demanded as a cash pay
ment to be disbursed in the devastated

The infreQuent communicates Of the
peace conference are about .as inter
esting as excerpts from an almanac,
and less informative. One bit Of news
was given out-the fact that General
SHUTS had been dispatched to Hun.
gary to study the situation there. This
did not please the Paris press, which
saw in it only another delay. 1t had
been hoped that General Mangin
would be sent east to deal with the
Hungarians. Official advices from
Budapest were to the effect that the
new soviet government was establish
ing itself and maintaining order, and
that ii was disposed to make large
concessions to the allies in return for
food and fuel. 1t was supposed
Smuts would open negotiations for

is cOmmunistic rather than bolshevis-
tic. The fact remains that Kun is in
constant communication with Lenine,
whose secretary he formerly was.
