THE increased recovery of gaso-

TOBACCO'S BIG PLACE
IN ECONOMICS TOLD.
Weed" Will Add $345, ,00O,O 900 to
Treasury This Year,
Jardine Says.

Tobacco in America represents more
than merely habit or enjoyment or
recreation. but is "a major source of
income for American farming, Secre-
tary of Agriculture William M. Jar
dine told the delegates to the fourth
national convention of the Tobacco
Merchants Association of the United
States at it's banquet in the New
Willard last night.
The place occupied in the economic
life of the country was discussed
from its various aspects by Secretary
Jardine, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue David II. Blair and Senator
James f.. Watson of Indiana. The
tobacco industry this year win pay
more in taxes than was collected by
the Government from all internal
revenue sources prior to 1914, de-
clared Commissioner Blair, who eSti-
mated that the tax collections from
this one industry alone this year will
approximate $345 ,000, 900.
More than 450 900 farmers in 1919
participated in the distribution of the
half billion dollars which the domestic
tobacco crop amounted to when mar
keted. Secretary Jardine pointed out,
and as a farm enterprise tobacco is
exceeded in value only by corn, hay,
cotton, wheat and potatoes.
Although production of tobacco has
been carried on in the United States
for at least 800 years, the Secretary
said, it is only within the past few

BALTIMORE, May IA resolu-

Whereas, the newspapers of this

Opposed by Coolidge.

Disclosure that the War Depart
ment plan had in contemplation a
repetition of the test this year re-
calls the announced feeling of the
President that it might be unwise to
embark on an annual test program
without specific congressional author
ity, even though the project involves
no added Federal expenditures. The
reason assigned at the War Depart
ment for attaching great Importance
TO the holding of a test this year was
that the September muster disclosed
a number of instances of failure to
comprehend completely the duties re-
quired by law of all branches of the
Army under the decentralized mill
tary policy. 1t was held that an inn
mediate repetition of the test while
the lessons of the first inspection
were still in the minds of all con-
cerned would go far toward smooth
ing out these rough spots.
In the opinion of some high War
Department officials the holding of
some such test at stated intervals is
essential TO efficient carrying out of
the national defense act, although
after the first two or three annual
tests it might be possible to allow an
interval of two years or more be-
tween them thereafter.

early in the season to be wholly salts

saved France.
Now they came silently to pre-

of pensions which would enable
them to live in some better way
than half-starvation and miserable
poverty. The walls of Paris, the
villages in the devastated areas,
were placarded, as ! saw. with this
appeal by the mutilated men, anu
by the WitJws and orphans of the
