prices of any tobacco products were
made until three years after prices
began advancing ON other commod-
tiles.
2. That prices of tobacco products
have not increased over 81 per cent,
maximum, and on some types of to-
bacco products not over IL per cent,
as compared with an average of soc
per cent. on nearly all other COM
modities, or with increases as high as
5S8 per cent on leaf tobacco, and
in no case were these advances on
tobacco products sufficient to cover
the increases in producing costs.
8. That prices of freight, cigar
cites and tobacco do not decline
along with most other products for
the same basic reason that they did
not increase along with most other
products, namely, because the raw
material, leaf tobacco, is never suit
able and is not available for manu-
Ncturing purposes until from one
to three years after it passes from
the growers hands, and also, in the
case of cigars, because the cigar
types of leaf tobacco have not yet
declined in price.
a. And lastly, that a good part of
the purchase price of every pack
age of cigarettes, tobacco and cigars
is in the internal revenue tax, i'm
posed by the war revenue law, which
is still in force, that the taxes on
cigars, plus the duties on imported
cigars or on the imported tobacco
used in domestic cigars, run from
about half a cent to over nine cents
on each cigar; that the taxes on Gig
arettes amount to three cents on each
package of ten, and SIX cents on each
package of twelve, while the tax
on tobacco is ! Is cents on each one
ounce, or 21-2 cents on each two
ounce package.

Business Organizations
To Vote on Taxation

More than 1400 business organiza-
tons throughout the country have
been asked to vote on a series of
taxation questions submitted by the
directors Of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. The bal
lot was received last week at the of
fees Of the Mt Sterling Chamber Of
Commerce.
The vote is on forms of taxation
and does not deal with amounts Of
revenue to be raised. It's purpose is
to fix the National Chambers posi-
ton on the forms of levy, which
might be used if needed to replace
revenue lost through the proposed
repeal Of the excess profits tax; to
determine an attitude with respect to
the continuance Of war excise taxes,
and to get opinion as to the form of
taxes that might be substituted for
excise taxes if the revenue now de-
rived from them have to be replaced.
One probable result of the vote
will be to determine the Chambers
position as to a sales tax, on three
forms of which members are asked
to vote.
The referendum is supplemental
to one. taken last winter, which did
not result in a decision respecting
all questions asked. The first ref
erendum brought a decision as to
treatment of increments to capital
income, questions of net and invent
ory losses, administration, etc. The
present referendum is confined to
forms of taxation which had prom
inence at the Chambers last annual
meeting, held at the end of April in
Atlantic City.
The Chamber was committed in the
first referendum to a repeal of the
excess profits tax. The first section
of the present referendum asks a
vote on repeal also of war excise
taxes.
The second section offers the OPP
portunitv to vote on substitute taxes |
that might be used to replace revenue
lost through various repeats and in
cludes combinations of substitutes.
The third section deals with forms
of a sales tax and asks those voting i
for a sales tax to specify which of
three types they favor.
A statement accompanying the
ballot makes it clear that the figures
used to show probable revenues are
estimates only and are especially
liable to inaccuracy in times OF
changing business conditions.
The three types of sales tax men
toned are defined in the statement
so that the voter will know what the
terms as used mean. The retail sales
tax is a tax on retail sales of mer-
chandise and at l per cent has been
estimated to yield between $3.50, 000,-
300 and $4O0,O00,000 a year. The
turnover tax is divided into two
.llaasses, a tax ON all sales o. Wares,
,oods and merchandise, and a tax on
Ill transactions. A turnover tax on
commodities has been estimated to
yield at l per cent about $780, .
100000 a year. A turnover tax on !
III business transactions has been ,
estimated to yield at 1 per cent,
lhout 81, 575, 900, 900.

KENTUCKY

Prohibition in this State has more
than reduced crime by one-half. II
has emptied the jails Of the common
DRINKS, disorderly conduct offenders,
breaches Of the peace, etc. IL has
increased the earning power and the
saving power Of many wage earners
thruout the entire State. II has in
creased the efficiency in labor by
making Monday an ordinary day
instead Of a day Of accidents, poor
work, etc, caused by Saturday night
hang-overs. As the enforcement Of
this law becomes more absolute, as
II will become, results will become
more evident, benefits more pro-
nounced and the effects more notice
able. The first year has demonstrated
that prohibition will do wonders for
the morale, mortality. social welfare

KENTUCKY WHEAT. 1921

The condition Of Kentucky's wheat
crop indicates a probable production
of about 1851 900 bushels this sea-
son, compared to 100000 bushels
last year, according to the May crop
report issued today by the U. S. Blu
reau of Crop Estimates in Coopera-
ton with State Commissioner Of Ag-
riculture W. C. Hanna. Probable rye
production is estimated at about $685.
900 bushels compared to 100000 last
year; and hay of all kinds about
1861 900 tons compared to 100000
tons grown last year. Actual pro-

pending on whether conditions are

ROOSTER WEEK

May 90 to %, inclusive, has been
declared Rooster Week for Kentucky.
During that week and those follow
ing kill, sell or confine all ROOS-
TIERS. They cause a S30,000,000
loss of eggs annually because fertile
eggs spoil rapidly during the summer
months. One egg out Of every five
is spoiled before being sold. This
is one reason and the biggest reason
the prices of eggs are so low during
the summer. Dealers must count on
this so as to make proft-there the
farmer loses. A fertile egg is unfit
for food after "a hours in a warm
place.

A POULTRY CLUB LETTER

The following letter was received
from a 14-year-old club girl raising
chickens. She has been making a
good record since she was 10 years
old. In that time she has contended
against many disappointments be-
cause Of diseases, storms, and war
mints." Notwithstanding all her
troubles, the little girl owns $4,000
worth of War Savings Stamps and
has bank account of nearly $500.
She concludes her letter with the fol-
lowing lines:
All things considered from beginning

Matching and catching and feeding
and tending,
Chasing and killing and scolding and
picking,
There's a great deal Of work about
raising a chicken.
