Japan Offers Indictments
for Purchasing Automobiles
Japan has offered every purchaser
of an automobile or truck in the em
pire $500 toward the purchase price,
and $150 yearly to help pay for the
maintainance of the vehcile. in ex
change for the privilege of speedly
commandeering motors when the oc
casion demands, according to ad
vices received by the foreign sales
department of the B. F. Goodrich
Rubber company.
This subsidy is intended by the im
perial government not only for the
quick requisitioning of cars, but also
to promote their use and to event
ually encourage their manufacture
with in the empiie. This aggressive
action by Japan has still another im
portant function. Horses are scarce
in Nippon and most of the trucking
is by men who pull two-wheeled carts
most of the passenger triffic on
the streets and highways is by means
or jinrikishas. Labor is in strong
demand and a more general use or
motor vehicles would release thous
ands or men for work in factories. -
Japan's action will add impetus to
the export of American made cars
and tires, say Goodrich officials. It
will be several years before Japan
will be able to produce anywhere
near her own consumption of moto
vehicles and accessories. But thre
concerns in Japan are now buildln
automobiles. One of these has mad
about a half a dozen cars and a
other Is assembling from parts Im
ported from America. Two large
Japanese shipbuilding companies are
erecting automobile factories-

The Tobacco Industry in America
Sam L. Rogers, director of the Bu
reau of the Census. U. S. Department
of Commerce, will soon Issue Bul
letin 13C, on the American Tobacco
Industry. The bulletin contains data
regarding the production, consump
tion, and stocks of tobacco In the
United States, the prices obtained for
the staple by the growers, the quan
tities of the several products man
ufactured therefrom, the revenue on
tobacco collected by the government,
and the Imports and exports of man
ufactured and unmanufactured to
bacco. The purpose of the report has
been to assemble In one publication
the statistics for the various phases
or the Industry and to present them
In convenient form for ready refer
ence. The Amount of leaf tobacco shown
by the report as In the hands of the
manufacturers and dealers on Jan
uary 1. 1911. was 1,176.234.657
pounds as against 1.044.8S5.108
pounds held on January 1, 3 917, the
Increase being equal to 12.6 per cent.
Of the total for 1918. chewing, smok
ing, snuff, and, export types formed
76 per cent; cigar types. 19 per cent;
and Imported types. & per cent The!
leading Individual type was that pro
duced In the "Bright yellow district
of Virginia. North Carolina, and
South Carolina, or which there was
reported 428.913.604 pounds, or 36.5
per cent of the total. Burley tobacco
contributed 117.206.800 pounds, or
15.1 per cent; and the tobacco classed
as "Dark fired as grown In Clarks
ville, Hopkinsvllle. and Paducah dis
tricts' amounted to 117.118.386
pounds, or 10 per cent.
According to estimates made, by
the department of agriculture, the
total tobacco crop of the United
States In 1917 was 1.196.451.000
pounds. The leading tobacco slates
and the estimtaed amounts grown by
them are as follows: Kentucky.
426.600.000 pounds; North Carolina.
204.750.000 pounds; Virginia. 129.
500.000 pounds; Ohio. 99.072.000
pounds; Tennessee. 81,810.000
pounds: Pennsylvania. 58.100.000
pounds; South Carolina, 51.120.000
pounds; Wisconsin. 45,885.000
pounds; Connecticut. 29,540.000;
and Maryland. 22,594.000 pounds.
The acreage estimated for these
states ranged from 474.000 for Ken
tucky to 21.000 for Connecticut, and
the production per acre, from 1400
pounds tor Connecticut and Pennsyl
vania to 630 pounds for North Caro
lina. The higher yields are obtained,
as a nlle. In the localities producing
the high-priced types used In the
mannfacture ot cigars.
During the past three-quarters of
a century the growth In tobacco pro
duction la the United States has not
quite kept pace with that In popu
lation; the estimated tobacco crop of
19 ir being about five and a half
times as great as the crop ot 1839, as
ascertained at the census ot 1840,
the earliest at which statistics of to
bacco production were obtained,
whereas the estimated population of
the country for 1917 was slightly
more than six times as great as the
population shown by the census of
1840.
Virginia was the greatest tobacco
growing state prior to the Civil War.
but since that period Kentucky has
led In this respect. Although at the
last census the production ot tobacco
was reported for 1568 counties In 45
states, nearly one-fourth of the crop
(23.5 per cent) was grown In the fol
lowing 14 counties, each ot which
reported more than 10,000.000
pounds: Lancaster, Pa.; Hartford.
Conn.; Pittsylvania, Vs.; Dane. Wis.;
Halifax. Va.; Darke. Ohio; Daviess.
Ky.; Montgomery, Ohio; Robertson.
Tenn.; Christian, Ky.; Graves. Ky.;
Montgomery, Tenn.; Pitt, N. C; and
Henderson. Ky.
The total world's average produc
tion of tobacco during the period Im
mediately preceding the war Is esti
mated at 4.197,000,000 pounds an
nually.. Of this. Continental United
States '.produced approximately 1.
000.000.000 pounds; British India,
1.000.000.000 pounds; China. 500.
000.000 pounds: European Russia,
230,000.000 pounds; Dutch East In
dies. 200.000.000 pounds; Austria
100.000.000 pounds; i and Brazil.
100.000.000 pounds. The total for
Hungary. 170.000,000 pounds; Jap
an. 120,000.000 pounds; Philippines,
these countries amounts to 3.420.
000.000 pounds, or 81 per cent of
the total for the world.
According to data compiled by the
bureau of crop estimates of the de
partment of agriculture, the average
farm price of tobacco throughout the
United States on December 1. 1917.
was 24.9 cents a pound, or more than
twice the corresponding average for
the 10 years 1908 to 1917. Inclusive,
which was 12.1 cents. During the
period In question the lowest figure
was that for December 1, 1915, 9.1
cents; but by December 1 ot the fol
lowing year the average price had In
creased to 14.7 cents, and 12 months
later It had leaped to 24.9 cents.
Imports of tobacco and Its products
into the United States during 1917
aggregated 840,811.539 In value, an
amount about one-seventh as great as
the estimated value ot the American-
tobacco crop; and the exports of do
mestic tobacco and Its products dur
ing tbe same year represented a total
value ot 862.017.037.
According to the latest annual re
port of the commissioner of Internal
revenue, there were manufactured
during the year 1916. In 'factories
under the Jurisdiction of that of
ficial. 7. 93:. C10. 151 cigars. 25.312.
486.611 cigarettes, and 466.165.723
pounds of chewing and smoking to
bacco and snuff. In Addition. 87,
654.149 cigars and 4.594.662.940
cigarettes were made In bonded man
ufacturing warehouses, operated un
der the Jurisdiction of the Customs
Service.
On the basis of revenue-stamp sales
the numbers of cigars and cigarettes
manufactured during 1917 In regis
tered factories under the Jurisdiction
ot the commissioner of Internal-revenue
are estimated at 9.050.960.224
andv34.832.385.767. respectively. The
Increase In the production of cigar
ettes In registered factories during
recent years Is a striking one.
amounting to no less than 250 per
cent for the six-year period 1911
1917; and when the production In
bonded manufacturing warehouses
In 1917. for which no data are yet
available, is taken Into account. It Is
probable that the total will reach, or
closely approximate 40.000.000,000.
The exports ot cigarettes during 1917
totaled 7.023.626.000. The Imports
from foreign countries and ship
ments from the Philippines were rel
atively very small, amounting to only
37,922 pounds or about 10,000.000
or 1 2.0 00, QJi cigarettes, during
1917. The net production. In one
year, of cigarettes available for
American consumption was thus not
far from 33 billions. Even this en
ormous number, however, does not
include cigarettes rolled by the smok
er from loose tobacco, concerning
which no data are available.
During the fiscal year ended June
10. 1917. the internal revenue col
lected on manufactured tobacco and
its products amounted to $1037201,

EARLY LIFE RENEWED

(Continued from page 1)
ened with a solo by Mrs. Hallie Par
rish Durdall. who rendered most
beautifully tbe touching song "When
Tou Come Home. responding to an
encore with jthe popular patriotic
number, "My America."
Justice George H. Burnett presid
ing over the meeting. Introduced for
mer Governor T. T. Ceer as one of
the best known men in the state, and
Mr. Geer. in the course of his deml
niscent address, demonstrated that
he had made the acquaintance of a
large share of Oregon's population.
He stated that probably he had never
addressed an audience In which he
saw so many friends and acquaint
ances. Born In the vicinity of Sa
lem and spending a large part of his
early life In the Waldo Hills, he still
retains his boyhood attachment for
this region, which he maintained Is
one of the most beautiful west of
the Rocky mountains. Here he had
spent some of the happiest days of
his life and made some of his clos
est friends. He became a citizen of
the village of Salem In tbe early six
ties and spent the years of the Civil
war here. As a boy of 14 he was a
member of the Marlon Rifles and
was more or less excitement during
those stirring years. Incidentally, he
pointed out Al Crossan In the crowd
and went on to tell how he and
Crossan worked together In the gro
cery store of John D. Wright.
Cieer Tell or Early Life.
Mr. Geer went Into much of the
early history of the Methodist
church and cf Willamette university.
In the audience he saw many of his
fellow students in the Institution,
most ot them looking much older
than he. although he acknowledged
that he had Just recently become a
great-greatgrandfather at the age of
67. His looks endorsed the state
ment that he was in perfect health,
never having known a sick day In
his life. In this connection he noted
that the great majority of his audi
ence were hale and hearty, although
some of them were bent and white
haired. 9
The speaker spoke half-Jestlngly of
his services as chief executive of the
state. In which period he formed
som of his closest and most valued
friendships and made a few oppon
ents on the side. But he had only
the most pleasant recollections of
his political experiences, and of his
lire in Salem. He expressed his sin
cere pleasure In again renewing old
acquaintances and noting the evi
denes of development In the capital
city.
Following the address of Mr. Geer.
Mrs. Lois Peebles Junk favored the
audience with several of her own
songs, rendered In a most chaming
manner.
Justice Burnett, explaining that
George II. HImes. who had expected
to address the, gathering, had found
It Impossible to attend, read a lengthy
letter from Mr. Himes In which he
stated that while he was unable to
be present In person he was here In
the spirit. He recalled many Incl-

dents In the early history of Salem
and also many personal experiences
In the days when he waa a green
hand in the office of State Printer
Henry L. Pittock and later in the of
fice of the Oregonian. He was grate

a citizen of Salem about which werei
some of the most pleasant associa
tions o his life.
Washington Justice Heard.
Justice Burnett, espying in the
crowd Supreme Judge Mark Fuller
ton of Olympia. Wash., called upon
two husky associates to seize him
and bring him to the platform and
compel him to make a speech. The
distinguished visitor and former cit
izen was escorted to tae stand and
was introduced to the audience as
a man who was once the pride of Sa
lem and now the pride of Olympia.
Justice Fullerton responded in a hap
py vein, expressing bis gratification
with the reception accorded him by
his old friends.
Justice Stephen F. Chadwick of
Olympia, was also called for and ex
tended greetings to his old friends.
He recalled that in his early years
In Salem he was a member of a hook
and ladder company, and hinted that
his training on the fire department
had been of great assistance to him
in his political career. Although
long a resident of Washington, he
had always retained his kindly feel
ing for Oregon and had taken the
precaution to have his grandson born
in this state.
. As there were no further speeches.
Justice Burnett requested the crowd
to talk to one another, and there fol
lowed an hour or two of whole-souled
sociability. In which many an old
Joke and bit of Juvenile rascality was
brought to memory.
