For Tobacco Growers.
I Specials from Washington says:
Representative W. W. Kitchen
has again introduced his bill to
allow tobacco growers to stem
jtheir tobacco without paying
special tax and the bill has the
support of the entire delegation.
The bill reads as follows :
"That growers of tobacao shall
have the right free free from taxa
tion to stem and hand twist or
hand press or in any other way,
and in any quantity, form, or
shape, make and prepare for mar
ket any tobacco of their growth
and to sell the same to any person
or persons with license and with
out the payment of any tax there
on, and that said tobacco so pre
pared by the grower thereof shall
not be subject to taxation under
the internal revenue laws so long
as it remains in the form and con
dition in which the g ower pre
pared it and, that in such form
and condition any person may
buy, sell or use the same without
tax or license."
A Washington correspondent
says: While the Messrs. Kitchen
represent pussibly the two largest
tobacco growing districts in the
State, the entire delegation is
very much in favor of such legis
lation, whicli, it is bdievi d, will
afford Krvat relief to tobacco plan
ters. The Sta'e del' gation will
give its earnest suppoit to the
measure.
