Tariff on Tobacco.
If there are two things in the world
that ought to be taxed by a high tariff
those things are liquor and tobacco.
They are absolutely non-essential ami
v.e need no imports of either into this
cou ntry.
At present there is, we believe, a
tartff duty of 89 per cent on imported
laf tobacco. Notwithstanding this
duy, as Mr. Sam L Rogers points our,
unmanufactured tobacco to the value
of $25,334,314 was imported.
Yes, Senator Simmons is being crit
icized because he stands for a good
stiff tariff tax on imported leaf tobac
co! That is one of the counts in the
indictment. How long would it take
the big tobacco companies to arrange
to get the larger part of their leaf from
abroad, were it not for the import tax
levied at American custom houses?
Does the American tobacco farmer
need competition from abroad?. Is he
getting too rich? Is he a monopoly
that ought to be busted?
Tobacco farmers can answer these
questions for themselves. And for
standing by the tobacco farmer and
voting for a high tariff rate on this
article of luxury which happened to
be a raw material produced by his
constituents Senator Simmons is be
ing denounced as a "protectionists"
and "out of line with his party," etc.
Really, gentlemen, it is to laugh.
The People Know.
Charlotte Observer: The stock argu
ment of the Kitchin papers is that
Simmons, in securing appropriations
from the Federal treasury to improve
the North Carolina rivers and harbors,
to dig inland waterways, to build good
roads and to increase the pay of the
rural mail carriers, is doing so at the
expense of the taxpayers. The fact is
and the people of the State know it
that the money comes from the de
partmental appropriations and that
what little the South does get would
go to the Western and New England
States, but for the efforts of Senator
Simmons and other Southern con
gressman. The intelligent voters of
the State are viewing the matter in
this light and they are not to be fooled.
The Kitchin organs may continue to
belittle the work of Senator Simmons
and to assassinate the character of an
upright, honorable and influential Sen
ator but the people know.
Don't Want Southern Leaders
The Lumberton Robesonian says, it
is rather unusual for a Southern State
to keep in the United States Senate
a man of the ability and usefulness of
Senator Simmons which may explain
why some Northern papers like Colliers
favor his retirement. Thev think it
very unwise for a Southern State to
keep a leader in the Senate they
would much prefer to have all the lea
ders in that body from the Northern
States. That's all light from their
standpoint, but by the same token it
is all wrong from ours. North Carolina
ought not to be content to surrender a
place in the front ranks just because
somebody else wants the job and some
Northern papers want some Northern
Senator the enviable position Senator
Simmons has won.
