LABORs OF THE MIGHTY.

The present Missouri Legislature
had a great opportunity to demon
strate the wisdom of the people in
turning the machinery of the state
government over to the Republicans,
if there was any wisdom in it. We
were promised sweeping reforms; we
were told the Democrats had made a
mess Of things, that the people were
over-taxed and our state institutions
under-supported, that we had too
many offices and that the entire state
government should be made over in
the interest of efficiency. We were
told that election reforms of a radical
character would be necessary to save
the state from perpetual disgrace,
through the corrupt practices of a
Democratic machine. All this, and
more, was brought shriekingly to the
public ears.
What has been done? Nothing. No
Democratic statute has been repealed,
no constructive measure of any kind
making any modification Of any defin-
tie policy of the state government has
been submitted and brought to the
point of serious consideration. Taxes
are not to be reduced, unless the Gen.
eral Assembly accepts proposals made
by Democratic Senators and Members.
Expenditures are to be increased, and
offices multiplied, if we may take SER
iously the propositions advanced by
the Governor. The election "reforms"
turn out to be innocuous and incense
quential, merely changing the form Of
the ballot so as to provide for the use
of the old-fashioned sheet ballot, and
permitting the appointment of an cleo
ton judge in precinct in which he
does not reside. Tame, very tame, is
the whole business. The Legislature
has either fallen down completely or
else the Governor does not know what
he wants. He has no program worth
mentioning, and has no policy of any
consequence. He and his associates,
including the Republican majority in
the General Assembly, are simply new
figures at the public trough. They
represent nothing, and stand for moth
ing.
1t would be unjust to say that the
Legislature has been wholly idle. 1t
has worked exceedingly hard. The
mountain has labored and there have
been a few "mousies" born.
/ The vital question az to the bounty
on wolf scalps has received profound
consideration, with hours and hours
of furious debate.
When should skfnks be killed? This
burning inquiry has agitated the in
tellects of our solons throughout ex-
tended periods Of ardent eloquence.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-02-25

Much time has been consumed in de-
termining whether notaries public
should be permitted to perform mar
rage ceremonies, possibly in antici-
patton of rush of business if the
Dyott bill should pass.
Solemn and earnest consideration
has been given to the suppression of
that great iniquity, crap shooting.
The relative merits of the daisy
and the red haw have absorbed much
valuable time, which might otherwise
have been wasted had the General
Assembly concluded to work out a
plan to reduce taxes.
Of course, it is important that cat
tie ranges should be defined in state
in which nearly all Of the farms and
ranches are fenced. Vastly more i'm
portant this must be, for instance,
than determining whether to spend
the sixty million dollars road fund,
voted by the people last November.
This must be true. because the road
question is to be shunted off until an
extra session, that is, unless the Gov
ernor should change his mind. He
may weaken on the extra session,
swearing he'd ne'er consent to do so,
as he has done on the much-vaunted
cabinet form of government
1t will be interesting to observe the
manner in which these statesmen are
received when they return to their
Missouri State Jour
nal.

FARMERS DEMAND
SCIENTIFIC SERVICE

"The value of the service which the
Agricultural Experiment Station is
able to give is often determined by
the promptness with which it can at
tack the problem" says Director F.
B. Mumford of the Missouri Station
in his annual report off the press this
week. SERIOUS plant and animal dis
eases may suddenly break out, for
example, and if the station is able to
respond promptly by sending trained
investigator to the region where the
trouble occurs, it is often possible to
prevent the spread of disaster. A
number of such instances have occur
red during the past year and the sta

MISSOURI LEADS
WORLD IN CHEWING
TOBACCO MANUFACTURE

jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 21.--Mis-
souri, leads the world in the produc-
ton of plug chewing and twist tobac-
cos, according to facts and figures
dealing with that industry promulgat-
cd today by Commissioner William H.
Lewis of the Bureau of Labor Stats
tics. The 1919 output of plug and
other forms of manufactured tobacco,
chiefly from the city of st. Louis, to-
tailed 64,693,290 pounds, which had a
total value of $43, 556,159. There was
paid into the United States Treasury
that year by Missouri tobacco manu-
facturers total of $11,064, 1852 for
stamps.
Plug chewing tobacco is the princi-
pal manufactured tobacco product for
5S,972, 722 of the 64,493,290 pounds
were in that form. Ingredients in
Guided in this total include 1902, 709
pounds of licorice, s,427, 1896 pounds of
sugar and 4,454.24S pounds of mis-
cellaneous material.
Value of Material and Supplies
The value of material and supplies
used in manufacturing tobacco for
chewing purposes in 1919 was $685.
548,052, while $2,436,946 was paid
out in wages to persons employed in
the factories. Virtually all of the
product is manufactured in st. Louis
where 10 of the 35 factories in the
state are located. These 10 factories
in 1919 employed 1924 men and 1,481
women, while the % factories in other
cities employed only 80 men and lat
women.
The value of the product has in
creased since 1917 from $37, 5S6,626
to $43,556,15 while the number of
persons employed in the industry has
decreased from 1928 in 1917 to 1851
in 1919. Capital invested in the indus
try in the state totals $9,238,S27, of
which all but 1892 is in St. Louis
Missouri Leads all States
Figures showing the great lead
of Missouri in 1919 in this industry
are included in list Of states togeth-
err with the number of pounds produc-
ed in each. Missouri'u 5S,972;737
pounds of plug tobacco Is more than
thirteen million pounds ahead Of
North Carolina, which is second with
45,101,91S pounds, while Kentucky
trails in third place with 12,3S9,O76
pounds. No other state produced more
than 100000 pounds of plug chew
ing tobacco.
Missouri is not contender for hon.
ors in the manufacturing of smoking
tebaccos as only 1,764,393 pounds
were produced in 1919 which is below
the records of several other states, es-
pecially North Carolina.
Most of the tobacco used in the man.
nfactured product is imported into
Missouri from Virginia, Kentucky and

of the old world makes it more than ever true that our exports can only be paid for with imports of goods. The problem before congress is to adjust the tariff so that we shall buy abroad those commodities which compete least with our own industries and which are of most advantage to those industries and to the people general ly; that we shall open foreign mar kets for our own products and that we shall realize good proportion of the revenue from customs duties. In or der to do that work well, the men hay ing it in hand should not be strong ad- herents of either the protective or free trade theory; they should be frank opportunists, prepared to make bargains for trade with other nations and thus to make a trading tariff.
