An Associated Press dispatch
says: Aimed at the domination of
the so-called "tobacco trust," a bill
directing the census bureau to pub-
nsn statistics every six months as
to the amount of tobacco held by
dealers and manufacturers of the
country was debated for hours in
the house. The bill was introduced
last summer by Representative Can
trell of Kentucky, who explained
that it was designed for the tobacco
growers who claim that the govern
ment statistics give manufacturers
unfair advantage when the crop is
marketed. He said the tobacco trust
knew "all the secrets of the crop
and can pound down prices, while
the farmer has no way to ascertain
the amount of stock on hand in the
warehouses." Republican Leader
Mann and Former Speaker Cannon
vigorously opposed the bill. Mr.
Cannon declared that If any such
bill were passed it should include
all crops held by dealers and in
warehouses. The punishment of
manufacturers who withhold statis
tics was also attacked as unconstitutional.

A CALIFORNIA VETERAN
The Coast Seamen's Journal
(Labor), Oct. 25. Every honest
man and publication in California
will join in acclaiming James H.
Barry a prophet who is not without
honor in his own country. The Star
Barry's Star has for a generation
been the guiding star of our hopes.
When it comes to passing around the
honors due for the recent victories
of democracy in California one man
and one paper may truly and without
invidiousness be said to "lead all the
rest," and that same is James H.
Barry and Barry's Star.
The Portland (Ore.) Labor Press
(Labor). This man is now the
Grand Old man of California. He
never held an office. He led the van
without insignia and without rank.
His paper for over, a quarter of a
century issued at a unauuiiu jubo,
and In spite of threats and boycotts
of the privileged classes that kept
it a weekly, never ran out an issue
without a demand for the initiative,
the referendum and the single tax.
No paper ever did more
for liberty and democracy. "For the
cause that lacks assistance; 'gainst
the wrongs that need resistance" has
been in spirit and in fact heading
the columns for more than twenty
five years. Not always right, not
always wise, not always diplomatic,
but always just, always for freedom,
always for the workers, always for
the great plain, common people, it
uas done more for Calif orn a than
any paper ever published in that
corporation-ridden, special-privilege-cursed
state. n .
The Sacramento Bee (ind.), Oct.
28. But we move to strike out the
word "old." Jim is not old. He is
young; ho is evergreen; ho Is Spring,
even when Autumn approaches; In
the field political of has-beens and
nover-wases, he is still a colt; In
pugnacity, ho is a grown-up; at heart
he is a kid. . Old! Jim Barry is tho
Cleopatra of California politics Ago
passes him by and grabs younger
men. Louis F. PobI, The Public.
