BACKS GRADUATED.
CIGARETTE TAXES.
Axton Declares Growers,
Smokers and Government
Would Benefit.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

The tobacco farmer, the cigarette
smoker and the Government as tax
collector would all benefit from the
proposed graduated tax on cigarettes.
This was the statement of Wood F.
Axton, president of the Axton-F Fisher
Tabocco Co. of Louisville, before con-
gressional committees this week.
Hearings on the question of a grad
uated cigarette tax, recently Endorsed
by Secretary Morgenthau, were con-
cluded Friday.
Despite higher costs resulting from
N. R. A. and the processing tax on
tobacco, a 10 per cent reduction in
the present Federal tax of So per
thousand, TO be applied only to ciga-
rettes retailing at 10 cents package
or less, will insure the continuance of
1o-cent brands as competitive pur-
chaSerS of tobacco, AXton said, thus
tending to maintain or increase prices
to tobacco growers.
10-Cent Bra nds Aided.
Under the lower tax of S2.70 per
thousand. he stated manufacturers of
10-cent brands would be able to pay
growers as high as 20 or % cents a
pound. Also, the consumer would be
insured continuance of 10-cent
brands, he said, thereby enabling him
to fit his cigarette expenditures to de-
preston incomes.
The advantage to the Government,
he declared, would come through
maintained or increased cigarette
consumption. Unless the 10 cent
brands are able to live, he said many
consumers from whom the Govern
ment would collect tax at the rate of
S270 a pound will begin rolling their
own, or turn to pipes. using tobacco
on which the tax is only l3 cents a
pound. This was demonstrated in
1882, he contended, when the down.
ward curve in cigarette revenues was
checked and turned upward again by
the advent of cigarettes retailing at
10 cents package.
Afraid of Monopoly.
"Unless the 10-cent brands are en-
ebled to live" Axton said in his testi-
mony, "the tobacco grower and the
cigarette consumer will be at the
mercy OF virtual monopoly. Although
under the dissolution decree, by
which the old tobacco trust was sup
posedly broken up. free competition
was supposed to have been insured,
but such has not been the case. In
1881, for instance, on three different
occasions. the prices of the leading
four popular brands were raised iden-
tical amounts on the same days.
Again, early in 1888, in a declared
war on 10-cent competition, prices of
these leading brands were reduced, on
the same day. s1.19 per thousand"
Axton said his interests were seek
ing tax that would maintain and
stimulate consumption by reducing
the spread, and that would help give
the consumer purchasing power suf-
flcient to buy back the products of his
own labor.

Commodity Price
Changes for Week.
BY H. n. McGILL,
Editor McGill Commodity Service. In

Editor McGill Commodity Service. Inc.
AUBURNDALE, Mass, March 81
R.-Commodity prices during the
week again showed a downward trend.
The ma jority of the IA individual
groups remained stationary AS a
recapltulation shows, eight groups re-
main unchanged, four are lower and
only two groups registered strength.
The composite figure ruled lower,
representing the second consecutive
decline. There are three factors
hampering the progress of commodity
prices toward higher levels. First,
the growing number of labor COM
plants which strongly indicate strikes
as the year progresses. Second, the
cogniZance of the fact that COM
modify prices, both wholesale and re-
tail, have advanced in greater propor-
ton than the betterment in employ
ment and purchasing power. Third,
the necessity for private financing
to supplement the Government spend
ing program within the course of a
relatively few months. Industrial
commodity prices remained steady
during the week, representing the
third consecutive week without any
price change.
Farm Prices Down.
Agricultural prices declined, repre-
senting the third consecutive decline.
Prices are now about comparable with
late January. During the week
corn, oats, barley, rye. eggs and but
ter ruled lower, offsetting the mod
crate price increase in cotton and
fax
Live stock prices averaged lower.
as the decline in hogs and sheep
was much more pronounced than the
advance In cattle and lambs.
The seven groups, in addition to
Industrial products, that registered
no change during the week were as
follows: Building materials, chem
tcals, fuels, hides and leather, fer
rous metals, paper and pulp and
coarse textiles.
Non-ferrouS metals represented one
OF the two groups that advanced.
During the week silver and tin quo
tations advanced, more than offset
Ting tne moderate decllne IN the price
Of zinc.
Fine textiles ruled lower, as the
fractional advance in spot cotton was
more than counteracted by lower
prices for print cloths, cotton yarns
and fairly substantial decline in the
spot price of silk.
Vegetable Oils Up.
Vegetable oils represent the second
group which advanced during the
week. The degree of recovery was
extremely limited, as coconut oil
averaged lower and cottonseed and
china wood oil registered slight ad-
vances.
The most important price changes
