Py the Associated Press.

ES Lhe ASSOClAteO fleSS.
RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 10.-Vir-
ginias tobacco industry has in
creased it's output 103 per cent since
1880, it was indicated on the basis
of excise taxes paid to the Federal
Government.
Smokers blew $157,004, ,049 95 in
taxes into the United States Treas
ury during the fiscal year which
ended June 30, 1898. For the IL
month period ending June 30, 1890,
Virginia tobacco manufacturers paid
SIT 500, ,461 50.
Oddly. the tobacco industry was
making its m2jor stride while many
other industries we're finding the
going most difficult during the de-
preston years.
The climb was attributed in part
to the steady increase in the num-
Der of woman smokers and the mar
keting stress placed upon lower
priced cigarettes. Cigarettes, as
usual, were responsible for the bulk
Of the tax revenue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Deposits

since the upswing that added more

The dip this week is said in flnan-

Culfane in Rally Speech Cites Authority Given die
tator'; Challenges White to Debate Issues

A challenge to a public debate on
the city manager question was made
to Harold F. White, president of the
Good Government Association, last
night by Senator George T. Gull
name. Senator Culhane issued the
lenge during a talk at an anti-city
manager rally at the North End z.
M. c. A.
Senator Culhane suggested that
the debate be held Monday night at
Buckingham hall, with each side
footing one-half the bill.
He asserted that under the adj
ministrative code accompanying
the charter, the city council could.
if it wished, adopt an ordinance
forcing all restaurants and taverns
to close, at 10 p. m.
Other speakers were Umberto
Santopietro, Domenic Barbieri, Mic
ola Beccia, Armand Errichetti
Charles J. DeBisschop, Joseph De-
luca, and Henry Loughran.
Mr.. Errichetti, president of the
Young Voters Progressive Alliance
which sponsored the meeting,
charged that adoption of the city
manager charter would lead to class
legislation. He claimed that many
voters might lose their rights, and
alleged that selfish motives were in
spring some of the leaders of the
Good Government Association.

city charter and that in this day
and age any violation of the city
charter by even such exemplary
citizens as the members of the Good
Government Association is likely
to bring a warrant to appear in
court. There was no fooling the
teachers. They came, asked for the
facts, didn't get them and today you
can take my word for it the teachers,
who are an intelligent class of peo-
pie, are in the gerat majority opposed
to the city manager plan.
Now word to the teachers them
selves, lest they have any doubt as
to their wisdom in voting against
the city manager charter, I have
charged that the manufacturers are
in back of the present campaign for
city managership. Now, say there
is one manufacturer in particular
who is well known to you folks
John H. Goss. What is Mr.. Goss's
record with the teachers. When on
the Board of Education he was in
the forefront for cutting their pay
and as a member of the Board OF
Finance he was in the thick of the
fray opposing its restoration. don't
need to tell you teachers that.
Every teacher in Waterbury is IA
miliar with John Goss's attitude
toward them.
High Pressure
Now, Of course, the people who
will decide how this election Tues
day is to come out are the voters
who don't have too much to say
They believe they should be allowed
to cast their ballots as they see fit
secretly, without pressure, and in
their own best interest. A few weeks
ago I predicted that this city would
see the greatest political campaign
in the history of the city carried on
by the supposedly non-political city
manager experts from the middle
west who work for so many dollars
on the line. Well, was I right? For
several weeks the button boys went
to work on the town, urging that
everybody wear Good Government
button. The implication was that
If you didn't align yourself with the
Brothers of the Right, you were a
bad citizen. I am opposed to such
tactics. I believe that the way a
man votes is his own private bust
ness. He shouldn't be forced to pro-
claim his allegiance to any party or
group by publicly wearing any kind
of an emblem. When attacked that
type of high pressure craftsmanship
the button boys withdrew from the
scene. If you don't believe me, look
about. How many people do you
see wearing good government but
tons today? Mighty few. The peo-
pie resented this public regimenta-
ton.
But the storm troopers are still
busy. They are putting the pressure
