GOOD YEAR PREDICTED.

How Harry Underwood Reacted to the
lest Madae Watched


The spring sunshine streamed into
Frightening everything that Ii touch

of the workaday people who were
Iunching there in brief respite from
their daily grind Of duties. It seemed
to linger longest over the gray head OF
the woman manager. who. according to
her daily custom. had just given the
signal to her pianist to play THE Star

The fancy came to me that she was
typical Of aroused American woman

her crowded tea room, waiting TO see
il there were any among her patrons

As the first strains Of the music

My breath came fast and irregularly
as I got UP from my chair. My eyes
were fixed upon Harry Underwood

of my most perplexing problem-how
to deal with him. Was he the secret,

But I was sure that the sound OF the

We nearly had the sc cigar back
again. But the chances are slim, now
that congress is seriously considering
permanent continuance of the high
duty on imported tobacco which was
clapped on during the war.
Former Vice President Marshall
made a big hit when he said, What
this country really needs is a good sc
cigar" For the epigram contained the
homely truth that the sc cigar ihdi-
Gated return to normally all along
the line and that rents food, clothing
and prices for amusements might soon
return to pre-war conditions.
Before the war, the duty on Sumatra
tobacco was S1S5 pound The emer-
gency war tariff increased this duty
to $235 a pound, and the purpose of
the senator's who are supposed to be
acting on behalf of the growers OF do
nestle tobacco in some states, is to
have this emergency tariff made per-
manent.
Cigar manufacturers say; 1T is i'm
possible to make cigars exclusively of
domestic tobacco that Americans will
smoke The tobacco grown in New
1
Wisconsin and other states in which
the industry is carried on, positively
requires Sumatra wrappers in order to
secure a blend. Efforts to use Ameri-
can wrappers on cigars with domestic
filters have always failed"
Recently, some cigar manufacturers
anticipating a return to pre-war tariff
on tobaccos. have made reductions in
the prices of domestic cigars. but they
assert 1t will be necessary for them to
raise their prices again If the propo-
sition TO make the emergency tariff
permanent is adopted.
But even the loss OF the good" sc
cigar OF which Vice President Marshall
speaks is perhaps the least serious Of
the effects which viii follow a contin-
uance of the S2.S5 duty on Sumatra
wrapper tobacco.
American farmers who raise tobac-
co will be first to feel the pressure If
the plan to increase the duty is adopt
ed" said a prominent manufacturer.
Instead of applauding the senators
who are trying TO jam through the high
tariff, tobacco growers will be likely
to curse them a year hence. With a
S2.S5 tariff we will have either to
raise the price OF domestic cigars or
pay less for domestic tobacco. We can.
not raise prices without losing busi-
ness. More cigars We're smoked five
years ago than are being smoked today
in this country. So in order to keep
prices down and prevent the cigar busi-
ness from going entirely to the bad,
we have got to cut costs wherever pos
sible: and the first cut will necessar-
lily come on the home grown tobacco.
Cigar manufacturers all over the
United States are plainly worried over
the proposed plan to continue the high
tax on Sumatra wrapper. They are
pessimists. due to the fact that they
predict many cigarmakers will be
thrown out of employment, that farm
srs win receive less money for their
tobacco and less tobacco will be sold
that factories will have to be closed
and cigar jobbers and retailers win be
affected. In the end, the government,
instead OF getting more revenue be-
cause of increased duty, will get less.
for importations will be cut down.
