TOBACCO CROWN
IN ANY SECTION
Commercial Value of Product In
tIuenced Greatly by Soil and
Climatic Conditions.
0vERPRODUCTION IS MENACE
Certain Methods for Production Of
Various Types Are Recommended
by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

The tobacco plant may be grown
successfully in all ATTITUDES from
southern Canada to the tropics and ON
great variety of soils. but the COM
merclal value of the product Is infu-
enced to n greater degree by the par
ticular soil and climatic conditions un-
der which the plant Is grown than
Is almost any other important crop.
These facts are so wen recognized that
the tobacco industry has become high
ly specialized. and the trade regularly
looks to certain well-defined areas OF
production for its supply Of the var-
Gus classes and types of leaf required.
In these tobacco-producing districts
the necessary facilities for marketing
are available, and prevailing prices OF
the cured leaf are governed largely
by the relative supply and demand and
by the quality Of the leaf produced.
Increased Production.
Each important district produces n
tobacco of certain well-known charac-
teristics which make 1t desirable for
special purposes Of manufacture or ex-
po't. hoiSoNSi, III HTuCtiCully I'LL OI
these districts the production can be
readily increased to meet any in
creased demand at profitable prices.
For these reasons efforts to introduce
the commercial growing Of tobacco In
sections outside Of the established
producing centers are likely TO result
IN failure, either because the leaf pro-
duced is not quite right In type or
satisfactory marketing facilities are
not available. Furthermore, any de-
velopment Of the industry in new
section on large scale, which would
be essential for economical marketing.
would most likely lead to overproduc.
tion and, Qs consequence, unprofita-
BILE prices. As matter Of fact, over.
production Is constant menace in all
Of the established centers OF tobacco
growing.
Growing and Handling.
The methods of growing and han
ding the crop must be varied accord
Ing to the type Of leaf which II is de-
sired to produce, for the kind of to-
bacco Is Influenced very greatly by the
methods OF growing and handling
which are employed. Certain methods

WASHlNGTON.-A comprehensive
program for revision OF the federal ia,
laws estimated to yield annually the
$4, 900 100000 which Secretary Hous
ton has said the treasury required
was filed recently with the house
ways and means committee by the tax
committee OF the National Retail Dry
Goods Association.
The plan worked out contains sew
eral proposals not heretofore advance ed
including the assessment of a federal
poll tax of S. ON each person over q
years old who receives an independent
income, estimated to yield $50, ,0OC
annually.
Income Tax Exemptions.
Income tax exemption, it is pro
posed, would be raised from $1,000 to
$4,000 for unmarried persons and from
$4,000 to $4,000 for heads of families
All business would be allowed an eX
emption of $4,000.
Other features carried in the pro.
gram, which was approved through
referendum of the organization S
1000 members, provide that.
Income from salaries, wages, bo
muses. and commissions should not be
taxed at so high rate as income
from investments.
Income derived from business,
whether individual partnership or
corporate, should be taxed on the busi-
ness itself and be subject to no addi.
tional tax when distributed to partners
or stockholders.
Tax Capital Assets Sales.
All other incomes, including profit
from the sales of capital assets
should be taxed at higher rate than
income from business and in a still
higher degree than income from mas
ual or mental efforts.
There should be tax on gross sales
of all goods sufficient, when added to
all other taxes proposed in the pro-
gram and including custom receipts,
to aggregate the required $4,000 ,O00,.
600. The sales tax at ! per cent would
yield 6,500,000, it was estimated.
The program would eliminate from
the present revenue act the excess
profits tax, surtaxes on individuals,
taxes on transportation, insurance,
admissions, dues and on nonalcoholic
beverages and special and capital
stock taxes, stamp taxes and certain
excise taxes
The normal income rate would be
fixed at 4 per cent on the first 1000
above the exemption, while the re-
mainder would be subjected to a tax
of per cent and no surtaxes would
be levied.
Income from business institutions
would be taxed at 10 per cent on
amounts above the exemption.
All other incomes, including "un.
earned or investment incomes and
profits, would bear surtaxes ranging
from l per cent on incomes from $780,
600 to $4,000 to per cent on incomes
in excess OF $50O,0OO.

Of Japan's Naval Showing--16
British Cruisers-U. S. Is
Second to England.

WASHINGTON.-W officials be-
lieve to be complete information as tC
the relative naval strength of the prin
cipal world powers is now in posses
sion of the American government
Whether it will be presented to the
senate foreign relations committees IS
consideration with that committees
consideration of proposals looking to
world disarmament has not been dis
closed.
The information shows that Great
Britain's sea power is double that of
the United States and that although
the British preponderance in capital
ships will practically have been over
come by the United States with the
completion in 1928 of the American
building program, the American navy
will still be greatly inferior in types
of vessels which naval officers regard
as extremely important. These are
notably destroyer leaders, cruisers
and light cruisers, cruising subma-
rines and airplane ships.
U. s. Doubles Japan's Strength.
The American navy today has
more than double the strength of the
Japanese navy and this ratio will be
maintained even with the completion
of the building programs of the two
countries. The United States will be
far superior, not only in capital ships,
but also in destroyers and subma-
rines. Japan, however, will have
double the number of battle cruisers,
now possessing four such craft, with
eight others projected, while the Uni
ted States has none completed and
only six building.
Without reference to second line
ships, of which Great Britain has
preponderance in all classes over
the United States and Japan, the Brit
ish navy contains 26 battleships car
rying at least 10 guns each of 12-inch
caliber or larger and displacing 2O.-
900 tons or more. The United States
has 16 such vessels, Japan six, France
seven and Italy four.
Great Britain has no first line
battleships under construction, while
the United States has II, Japan seven.
France four and Italy four.
British Strong On Cruisers.
The British navy, pioneer in the
development of the battle cruiser type,
still retains an easy advantage in this
generally regarded indispensable class
of modern ships of war, with six first
line battle cruisers and four others
classed as second line" The United
States has none completed and six
under construction, Japan four in SER
vice and eight projected, France and
Italy have no battle cruisers built or
building
In light cruiser strength Great
Britain leads all other nations by a
large margin, with Japan second and
the United States poor third. The
British navy has "A light cruisers in
the first line, "a in the second line and
five under construction. Japan has
six such vessels in service and nine
under construction, while the United
States has three ships built as scout
cruisers designated as light cruisers
Of the second line" and 10 light cruis.
