Watch your turns boys. Now that the bicycle industry has been put back its feet by revived in- teres in this form of locom0tion and exercise, how about few injunctons to those who pedal their way about the streets of fair town?

is a blast at our present administra-

posed labor legislation, will no doubt
attempt to show the picture in this

POLICY OF TOBACCO
BIG FOUR
From Beginning Has Been
to Pile Up Profits for
Insiders
BY GEORGE 4. KNAPP

Washington, D. c. tILNS1 The
consistent policy Of the Big Four
tobacco companies has been, first, to
gouge its workers; second, to gouge
the farmers; third, to charge the pub
lie all the traffic will bear; and,
fourth, to cozen, euchre, short-change,
gyp and hornswoggle their own minor
stockholders
For example, the report Of the
commissioner Of corporations on the
American Tobacco Co., its officials
and chief stockholders, and what they
did to the outsiders.
The Spanish-American War ran its
course in 1898, but the taxes which
wars make live after them for
time The insiders of the American
Tobacco Co. decided that the extra
tobacco tax would be repealed short
lly. Prices, of course, could be kept
up while longer The insiders de-
eided to get that gravy" for them
selves.
Organized Holding Company
They organized the Consolidated
Tobacco Co on June 5, 1901 This
was purely a holding company, and
virtually all the stock first S30000,-
600, then raised 70 S4o,000,0oo was
held by the insiders. The Consoli-
dated issued vast quantity Of bonds,
bearing per cent interest, and IN
siders used all their influence, posi-
tion and power as officials and as
holders Of the big blocks Of stock, to
trade these bonds for the common
stocks of the American and Cont
mental Tobacco companies.
The extra tobacco tax was repealed,
and the insiders cut one of the big
gest and juiciest melons ever carved.
In 1902 they cleared $5,451,8 ,829 in
dividends on this stock over the bond
interest which they paid to those who
were hornswoggled into trading it
In 1903 the insiders cleard $7,984,802
over and above that interest. In less
than 10 months of 1904 their profit
was $4,073,093.
Tax Equalization Needed
The Big Four cashed in a war taN
then, and they are trying to cash il
on a level tax" now.
The 10-cent cigarette, made by un
ion labor, Of tobacco bought at fai
prices from farmers, is taxed as heav
lily as the 15-cent cigarette made By
the Big Four
Congress knows this. The U. S
treasury understands that lowe
tax Oh the 10-cent cigarette would
produce a higher income for the gov
ernment. But the Big Four are mov
, ing heaven and earth to keep con
gress from acting.
1t is high time for union worker
to tell their congressman that tn
bill which lowers the tax on 10-cen
cigarettes 10 per cent is needed now

this year is the added dancing num-
bers. performed excellently by three
teams and an exceptional chorus,
the Gae Foster girls. seen in several
colorful routines.
Although Chic doesn't demonstrate
his infectious laugh quite as much
as usual he and Olsen are seen in
two hilarious skits. One is a trav-
esty on the deeency drive and the
other takes place in bedroom with
Chic and Ole as bed-fellows.
Have an amateur Hour"
Topping the comedy sketches is
take-off on the amateur hour craze
with Olsen and Johnson displaying
their talents. Best of these is Vic
Hyde, a one-man band.
Ruth Faber sings and acts in the
comedy skits, and the Caron sisters
are heard in some we'll arranged
numbers. Dancing by Jimmy Had
reas and Harry Webb add to the fes-
tivitieS.
It's a typical Olsen johnson show
with little left to the imagination.
More tuneful than the others, this
one is just as funny as any they
have produced, if produced is the
word.
The picture MAN Hunt" stars
Chic Sale, Ricardo Cortez and Mar
guerite Churchill. The story fea-
lures a school teacher and an editor
of a small town newspaper. The girl
hides a dangerous criminal in a
shack, and the editor becomes the
hero of the capture. Mr.. Sale, as a
former sheriff, uses a shotgun to
puncture the tires on the fleeing
bandit car, aiding in their roundup.
This is routine comedy melodrama.

mer director of music for Lew Les

Charles Gaynor, composer of the

was sent to New York to start
tour in song and dance act.

in the production of Leslie's Inter

quent retirement have taken her
from professional ranks, but have
not lessened the demands for her
services in amateur circles. Hold
Your Hats" is her first real produc-
ton since she retired.
