share, of the pickings. The tobaeca
bus ness pays on annually $7.0o0,ooo
in premiums in the United States.
And there are the railroads who reap
revenue from 2,21O,000 tons of tobacco
products every year.
AS for the advertising business,
here again 1t Is impossible to form
any estimate Of the enormous annual
outlay.
The prohibition of tobacco would also
knock a good-sized hole in the receipts
of the United States government.
The internal revenue receipts from
tobacco for the fiscal year 1920 amount
ed to 1906, 800, 1854. Customs duties
provided an additional $25,0O0,000 in
round figures, making the total revenue
return to the government $500 1000, 600.
Influence on Popular Sentiment
It is this interlocking of the tobacco
bus ness with so many other interests
| and the vast amount of financial loss
that would be involved in the abolition
| of tobacco that is one of the most Sc
rious aspects Of the proposal to pro-
hibit the sale Of tobacco, a proposal,
however, which has little support by
| public sentiment if the newspaper edi-
tors of the country are correct in their
estimate of that sentiment.
In a poll of tho editors made recently
| by the Tobacco Merchants Association
Of the United States. through the Press
Service Company Of New York City,
95 per cent of the 7,S47 editors who
replied expressed the opinion that the
people of their commun ties we're OPP
posed to any law against tobacco AS
these editors represent some S0,00OO00
readers the results form pretty gem
eral test Of national opinion.
In their remarks accompanying their
replies many Of the editors expressed
1t as their opinion that the oppos ton
Of their communities to the abolition
of tobacco was based to some extent at
least on the damage such a change
would do to the business interests Of
the community. This was particularly
true in the tobacco growing states and
centers where there were large tobacco
plants.
But when the extent of the business
involved In the allied interests Of the
tobacco trade Is considered, as above
briefly outlined, 1t is clear that there
is hardly section of the country that
would not be affected directly or in
directly by abolshing tobacco.

According to this mans view of con-

But the match business IS only one
Of dozen or more allied industries
which derive large revenues directly or
indirectly from the tobacco trade and
would suffer heavily If national pro
hbition Of tobacco were TO go into
effect as some of our refOrmers would
have It. The annual sales of tobacco
products, based on retail prices, is es-

dollars are paid out for other things

making 1t up.
S25, 100000 Year for Boxes
For example, the tobacco trade con-
sumes each year 45,000,000 pounds Of
licorlce, 100000 pounds Of sugar,
both used in havorlng tobacco, and
650,000 tons of coal. 1t is estimated
that the value of wooden cigar boxes
used is s25,000,000 year, quite an
! item to the lumber business and to
manufacturers Of the boxes.
In making these boxes $4,000
pounds of nails are employed. Other
large items used in making and pre-
pairing tobacco for sale are tin and
lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette
wrappers, cloth for tobacco bags, la
bells, coupons, etc, involving the print
ing trade extensively.

facturers of machinery are largely in

machinery employed in manufacture

est on the investment make no small
sum annually.
And let realty men note there are
approximately 325,000 tobacco farms
in the country, with total estimated
valuation of SLIGO, OO0,O 900. OF further in
terest to real estate men Is the fact
that there are 100000 retail establish
