TOBACCO INTERESTS
PLAN GREAT MERGER
EFFECTIVE At ONCE

NEW YORK, May 30.-A new to
bacco merger, representing a COM
bined capitalization of s157, 900, 900
involving the United Retail Stores
corporation and the Tobacco Prod
ucts corporation, was announced to-
day by James NJ. Dixon, president OF
the Tobacco Products concern.
The United Retail Stores corpora
ton, by stock ownership controls the
United Cigar Stores corporation.
James b. Duke, founder of the Amer
ican Tobacco company and the Brit
ish American Tobacco corporation,
will be the guiding head of the
merged company.
Under the terms of the proposed
consolidation, declared a report given
out tonight by the Tobacco Products
corporation, that concern is to in
100000 par value to S157,354 900 par
value.
"The increase in the capitalization
Of Tobacco Products is merely suf-
ficient to take care of the exchange
of the two canpanies, said the state
ment. The merger therefore is
without stock increase. The new
stock to be issued by the Tobacco
Products corporation is to be com
posed of two classes, one "A" and the
other common. Glass "A is to be
per cent non cumulative, on which
dividends are to be paid soon after
the completion of the merger. The
common, it is believed by the Off
GERS of the Tobacco Products corpo-
ration, will receive a dividend of not
less than per cent for the coming
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1922.
The proposal to the stockholders of
each company is an exchange of their
holdings of common stock in each
corporation for one-half share of
Glass ''A' of the new per cent To-
bacco Products stock and one half
share of the common, for each share
Of the present holdings of the com
mon stock. The option, however is
extended to the stockholders of both
companies of taking all common
stock of the new merger in ex-
change for the common stock of the
present corporations.

CHARGE PRODUCERS
FIX COAL PRICES
At SECRET PARLEY
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. May 30.-Declar-
ing that coal producers who are here
in preparation for a conference with
Secretary Hoover tomorrow on coal
prices held a preliminary meeting
today and agreed upon a price pro
gram calling for a minimum of SO
ton at the mines, representatives of
retail dealers associations prepared
tonight TO file protests with the de
partment of commerce head against
official approval being given any
such figure.
The conference has been called for
a discussion with bituminous coal
operators with a view of preventing
an advance in prices during the
strike.
A delegation headed by L. w Fer
guson, president of the Chicago Coal
Merchants association, will wait
upon Mr.. Hoover early tomorrow. if
was declared, to present a formal
protest against any such price pro-
gram being agreed upon. Our pro-
test Mr.. Ferguson said tonight 'is
based upon the fact that at least
100000 tons of the highest grade
smokeless coal has been contracted
for delivery for the period ending
March 81, 1928, on a basis of $1.75
per net ton f. o. b. mines.
Some of this tonnage was con-
tracted for as late as MAY 10, 1922.
The proposed prices mean an in
crease of 100 per cent over contract
prices of coal at the mines and are
much higher than the maximum price
charged during the war, when pro-
duction costs We're at the highest
| peak. We cannot see how any one
| can justify the proposed advance in
| prices which are based on a lower
cost production

ment. There are those who say the United
States should have entered heNwaf in May,
1915, after the sinking Of the Lusitania. Pos
sibly we should, but if we had it would have
been on precisely the same ground-that Ger
many had wantonly sacrificed American lives
in defiance Of the rights of international law.
From the British point of view, the war was
righteous in 1914 in 1917, and in every year
until the armistice, but it would have been
fragrant disregard of neutrality for the United
States to have taken up arms against Germany
before the Germans had committed acts Of war
against the United States. In the early months
of the war American rights were not menaced
in any way, and Congress would have grossly
violated its trust had it voted away American
lives and treasure in such project.
Americans made money in the sale of war
materials, but the supplies furnished to the al
lies were priceless to them, and they would have
suffered early defeat but for their ability to
get them from this country. It is pertinent to
remark in this connection that Great Britain,
France, and the other allies were scrupulous
to make adequate charges for every piece Of
war material bought by General Pershihg in
France, Including even the transportation of
our soldiers in British vessels, and every such
bill has been settled with good American cash.

RAILWAY FARES AND PAVING

Men who study the street railway problem
are pretty certain to agree with former Rail-
road Commissioner Carl Jackson in his call up
on the street railway companies to pave be-
tween tracks. Mr.. Jackson in his discussion
of the matter has put it on the right basis and
his assertion that(it is not so much of an in
justice to the street railway companies as tits
to the people will bear careful scrutiny.
The people whe-patronize street cars must
eventually pay all the cost Of building and
maintaining the lines and if the companies are
forced to pay for pavements on streets they
must pay for it out of the money they secure
from the people who ride It's hard to figure
out why the people should be forced to pay this
added burden. If a city sees fit to grant a
street railway franchise to company and the
people living on the street traversed by such a
railway are to be compensated the compensa-
ton should come directly from the city. Then
it is paid for, il the company pays for this work
it must be carried as an investment over long
period Of time and the people who ride must
continue for years to pay not only the cost of
this investment but the cost of carrying it.
The companies can be expected to recoup
themselves for any extra expense saddled up
on them and they can be expected to make GER
tain that all of this expense is repaid 1t US
ualy costs the people of city considerable
amount in advanced cost of transportation to
have railway companies build pavements,
bridges and sprinkle streets.
Mr.. Jackson is offering decidedly meritor-
GUS line of argument when he suggests thaC
the railway companies should be asked to sell
transportation and nothing else His reason
ing is excellent and the people are going to
come to see it in the very near future.
Street railway companies are not able to
carry burdens and render service at low rate.
The business of operating a railway is becom-
ing increasingly harder and the body polite
must do it's part to make it as easy as possible.
Companies are not going to operate street cars
for cities unless there is chance for them to
earn profit or an indication that they will
develope such an earning chance. Added bur-
dens must be eliminated if the street cars are
going to be kept going and the rates Of fare
kept at a'place where the people can afford to
pay them and be willing to pay them.

goodly measure, upon other parts Of
the world for food supply. The av-
erage farmer has neither wheat nor
oats nor rye to sell. Until Russia is
rehabilitated, the demand from the
western hemisphere will be tremend-
Gus, provided Europe has the means
with which TO buy.
The great staple is the potato. With
out 1t some parts of Europe could
scarcely have lived since the war.
There is some doubt about its origin.
Authorities have traced its history,
and believe it is a native of the Chile
an and Peruvian Andes. Since it is
found, however, as far north as Col
orado in wild form, the South Amer
lean claims may not be well based. Sir
Francis Drake introduced it into Eng
land in 1856, although Sir Walter Ra-
leigh is said to have taken it with him
year earlier. When one remembers
that Lewis and Clark, in their expedi-
ton in the northwest, found the In
dams cultivating watermelons, he in
clines to the belief that food staples
were originally pretty we'll scattered
over the face of the earth.
These matters of European life may
hold some interest, but they deserve
no place in the treatment of the more
abstract subject matters dealing with
government, war, peace and economics
that come later.

WE ARE ABOUT FED UP ON THIS.

America did not come into the war until
1917. If this war was a righteous one in 1917,
it was so in 1914 if il was wrong in 1914, then
surely it was wrong in 1917. If on these lines
you accounted it right in 1917 you failed in
your duty in not entering the lists at the same
time as ourselves, but you were too proud to
fight then, because you wanted to make mon
ey"
The above quotation is from letter written
by an Englishman to New York newspaper
He says that he has spoken before British or
CARNATIONS along the same line and that his
opinion OF Americas participation in the war is
shared by the British people generally From
other sources comes evidence that what he SAYS
is true-that most Britons think we should
have entered the war in 1914, and because we
waited two years and half before going in we
are morally bound to recompense the allies for
fighting our battles That is the sort of logic
upon which most Of the European appeals for
remission Of the debts to the United States are
based.
1t is unfortunate that such a state of mind
prevails abroad It is based on ignorance of
the circumstances attending Americas entrance
into the war-on a belief that we-entered for
the same reasons as impeled the allies to take
up arms against Germany. British citizens
owe it to their intelligence to get acquainted
with the facts before they criticize Americas
morality during the war period.
Great Britain was bound by solemn treaty
to defend the neutrality Of Belgium, and when
the Germans forced their way into that country
the British were compelled to go to the rescue
Of the Belgians. The United States was under
no such obligation, neither were we legally or
morally bound to take warlike issue with Ger
many on account ofrGerman atrocities in Belgi-
UNI. AS we'll say that we should have gone to
war with Belgium twenty years ago on account
Of her atrocities in the Belgian Congo, the most
narrowing details of which filled many pages Of
the Congressional Record at that time
When the United States declared war upon
Germany in April, 1917, the act was not in
spired by the Incidents of the war between Ger
many and the allies UP to that time. It was for
totally different reason, namely, that Ger
many had violated American rights on the high
seas after repeated warnings by this govern

BUSINESS
BY BERTON BRALEY

You say you are lawfully busy"
You look it, there isn't a doubt.
You move at pace that is dizzy,
But what are you busy about?
Just pause in your striving and strain
ing
And cease, for bit, to gyrate;
And spend a few moments explaining
What you have accomplished, to
date!
How much of your vim energetic
Is wisely and sanely applied?
How much is mere hustle frenetic?
II leave it for you to decide.
How much of this split-second hurry
Is/getting you honor or pelf,
How much of it's hustle and furry T
With which you are kidding your
self?
It's seldom indeed that hard work
kills;
But many men get below par i
While running round swiftly in cir
<cles,
Exclaiming how busy they are
How much of your strength is ex-
pended
In mere wasteful effort, old scout?
You say you are busy that's splendid,
But what are you busy about?
