SCOT a match?"

How many times day is that ques-
tlon asked In these United States?
How many more times is the question
unnecessary because most pockets are
kept well supplied with the useful
little article? Anyhow, inasmuch as 1t
is estimated that there are 30.000,0OO
tobacco users in the country, we would
guess that the answer to that question
would run into the hundreds Of mill
lions.
For if it weren't for the smokers in
these days. of electric lights how many
matches would be used? A pretty
small proportion Of the number of
these "sticks of blazes" produced in
the country every year Abolish to-
bacco and the match business would be
shot to pieces.
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-
hibition 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-
timated at S1,937, 100000 OF the cost
of producing and selling this quantity
of cigars, cigarettes and other forms
Of the weed, some hundreds Of million
dollars are paid out for other things
than the raw tobacco and labor Of
making 1t up.

Caused by Friction.

Prof Augustus II. Gill Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology. at
the request of Commissioner Murphy,
examined the hose burned, and, with
out making a chemical analysis, re-
ported his belief that the hose was
ignited from excessive friction caused
by vibration between two cotton jack.
pts. The hose was of the new standard
TWO and one-balf inch rubber-lined,
double cotton jacket type, made ac-
cording to the specifications of the
Boston fire department. which con-
form with those of the National Board
Of Underwriters.
A 75Ogallon pumping engine was
being tested under the direction of
engineers of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters and officials OF the
Boston fire department. For four hours
the engine had drawn water from the
Charles river basin when the order
for the high pressure test was given
Two lines of hose were used one
from each side of the engine, and each
about 500 feet long. Morse gates were
placed between the first and second
length of each line and the gates were

Des Moines, Iowa-County audi
tors have been reporting their tax
collections and assessments to the
state auditor in recent weeks and
compilations are now being made in
the office of the state auditor to be
used by the state board of review,
which will meet early in July to adj
just assessments and fix the tax levy
for the next two years.
The indications are that tax col
lections this year in Iowa, not in
GLIDING federal taxes or fees, will
considerably exceed 100000, 900. The
total tax collections for the year 1920
amounted to $97,1O0,8S2. Of this
amount $S,O95,669 was the state tax.
The rest was county, district and
township taxes.
BY far the larger amount of taxes
collected in Iowa are for the support
of schools. In fact in the bulk of
the taxes collected in the state last
year went to the schools, the total
school tax exceeding $43,000,O0O. City
taxes were around $12,000,000, and
brldge taxes more than $1,000, 900.
Road taxes last year amounted to
more than SS,OOO,OOO. This was the
amount paid in as county road or
permanent road taxes, county road
building taxes and road dragging
taxes, and does not take into account
the automobile fees which 20 to road
improvements. These According to
the latest figures, totaled bver S.
100000, including all finest and de- |
linquent fees.

all of the counties in the state in
1905 amounted to $26,061, 977 as COM
pared with $97 100, 1892 in 1920.
In 1908 the annual collections were
more than 500 ,000,0 600; in 1910 the
collections were $32 500, 900; in 1921
S37,148,0 900; in 1914, 47,O72,000; il
1916, S54, 267 900; in 1917, $62,3S1,

however, as reported by the count
auditors, will not be increased by Il
state executive council, it is believ'
because of the low prices general
prevailing in all products of the sta
and on live stock.
The recent Legislature, after goi
over the matters for which the st;
must raise money, appropriated ;
proximately $2O,OOO,0OO for this NJ
biennium, or $10,000,000 annually.

For example, tile tobacco trade con-
sumes each year 100000 pounds of
licorice, 50,000,000 pounds of sugar,
both used in flavoring tobacco, and
650,000 tons of coal 1t is estimated
that the value of wooden cigar boxes
used is s25,000000 a 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
