Governor Expresses
Opinion Concerning
Cost of Cigarettes"

Governor Percival =. Baxter re-
ceived a letter from a schoolgirl in
Maine. saying the scholars were to
write theme on the Cost OF Gig
arettes." and asking his opinion. The
Governor made the following reply:
II am much opposed to the use
OF cigarettes by young people. Money
spent upon cigarettes is worse than
wasted. for the health of those who
use them is injured and no doubt
human life is shortened thereby.
Young people, as a rule, enjoy
good health and do not appreciate
1t. AS they grow older they learn
from sad experience that health once
lost cannot be regained. I believe
the excessive use of cigarettes tends
TO undermine the health of the ris-
ing generation.
In your argument you can speak
or the cost in dollars and cents,
which is tremendous, but hope YOU
VIII emphasize the cost in health and
human lives. wish you success in
your work."

rationing of commercial credits was
sounded by Professor George w.
DoWrie. dean of the school of bust
ness of the University of, Minnesota,
at today's session of the executive
council of the American Bankers
association.
IF the point of full production is
how asccrtainable," he asserted then
the federal reserve board, should
have the courage. the power and the
public support necessary for the cur
tailment of this ill-advised expan-
sion"
After business has expanded to the
point where it's plants were operating
to full capacity, he declared. further
grants of money or credit only tend
ed to an orgy of speculation and ex-
tfavasant spending.
NJ. A. Taylor, chairman of the eco
homie commission. announced today
that the results of QUESTIONABLE on
economic questions circulated among
the bankers Of the country indicated
that apparently there was no desire
for an increase of immigration and
that it might be inferred that there
was desire for further curtailment.
