MERGERS.

new tobacco merger has been an
nounced, involving S157,0O0,0OO of capt.
tai. The Tobacco Products corporation
is being welded to the United Retail
Stores corporation, which controls the
stock ownership of the United Cigar
Stores company. All who use tobacco
should be interested in this
Not the least interesting fact connected
with the merger is that it will be con-
trolled by James +. Duke, founder of the
American Tobacco company and the
British-American Tobacco corporation.
Mr.. Duke has been out of the game
since the government dissolved the to
bacco trust''-the American Tobacco
company few years ago. Evidently
he judges business conditions favorable
to his return.
There has been notable steel merger
lately, with other steel Independents ar
ranging to combine. There are plans
completed or going forward for mergers
in meat, oil, rubber, automobiles. coal
and various other things Indeed. merg-
ers are coming so thick, it is hard to
keep track of them. They affect nearly
all the principal necessaries of life.
The public shows signs of concern
about this merger movement, and would
like to know more about it. Is it purely
economic, in the interest of efficiency. or
is it intended to evade the letter and
spirit of the antitrust laws under a
guise of legitimacy? The public has
been pretty FRIENDLY IN fshio b,,s;poSs,, :;

Fer Representative. Georgia White.
(Rutland Herald.l

Judging from Editor Georgia Whites
comments on the candidacy of Edna
Beard of Orange for the state senat~, the
lady chief of the Springfield Reporter is
not very favorable toward women in
politics The Reporter says:
Miss Edna Beard of Orange. the first
woman to represent her town in the
Vermont legislature. wants to 20 to
Montpelier again, this time as Orange
county senator. This taste for public
office evidently grows with what it feeds
upon, and the more it is gratified the
less it is satisfied. However. Miss Beard
made a good representative, and the
legislative experience she acquired at the
last session should fit her to do even
better work in the senate"
The Herald still believes however,
that the people of Springfield would do
very well to draft Georgia White to
the town in the legislature of
1923. 1t would be great experience
for her and a profitable Investment for
both.
