At this proposal, however, the British

To grant a preference to Irish tobacco
would bo protection. It would be compro

ever, 'that the same end would be attained
by a grant of money to the Irish Agricul

Argameat for State Aid.
One of the strongest arguments In favor
of state aid to Irish tobacco growing Is the
faot that the industry has been twice
killed by the state. It Is not generally
known that Ireland at one time was the
greatest tobacco producing country in the
world and that It grew the finest tobacco.
The English colonies of Maryland and
Georgia, however, demanded that the
growing of tobacco in Ireland should be
suppressed In order that they might have a
monopoly of the Industry, and it was- sup
pressed. Then came the American revolu
tion and and Independent Irish Parliament
which promptly repealed the prohibitory
. law and Ireland took up tobacco culture
again. Hardly had tbe industry raised its
bead, however, when the merchant and
Uil-owners of Bristol protested that their
trade with America would be ruined and
the British Parliament, after the act of
union, relmposed the prohibitory laws
The present experiment has demon
rtrated that Ireland Is eminently suited
by soil and climate for growing the finest
grade of tobacco. Leaf of the Turkish

ATTITUDE OF JHE COMMISSION
No Information Yet Reschfi Wash

WASHINGTON, July 18. The Interstate
Commerce commission thus far has re
ceived no official Information concerning
the proposed increase of freight rates, ir
the rates made by the railways are made
the subject of complaint to the associa
tion, that body, of course, would investi
gate them. On Its own initiative the
commission probably would Institute an
Inquiry into any general increase to as
certain whether the rates are reasonable
and Just, but any determination of e-uch
an issue would not be forecasted by the
commission Itself.
Chairman Knapp of the commission, in
an interview today, said:
Justification for Increase ln freight
rates, if there is to be such an increase,
may be found, If at all. only In the fact
that increased cost of operation and main
tenance of railroads has reached a point
where reasonable profit on money Invested
