feed and fertilizer to comply with the state inspection laws
of the state in which they, were distributing.

ence in the price of cigarettes to the consumer.
ean it have any influence in preventing inflation.

LT asked Mr. Gates in the U. S. Department of rs
ture definitely if any ceiling proposed by the Offi,
Price Administration would have to be O. K.d by the
Department of Agriculture before it went into effee
he stated definitely that it would have to be a
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The Office of Price Administration was defin
under the impression that the U. S. Department of A
ture had a floor under tobacco, but Mr. Gates stated
initely that the Department of ea did no
any floor under tobacco.

(Continued from Page One)

: : Gates to the increased, cost of producing tobaceo this year
. a8 nest last year. :

_ Mr. Colberger stated that his ap? was to hold down
= prices to consumers.

I called Mr. Gulbersee? 3 attention to the fact that
- taxes are about three times as much as the cost of manu-
facturing cigarettes.

Federal taxes on one. iioucaud cigarettes is $3.50 or
about $1.17 on each pound of cigarette tobacco. In ad-
_. dition to this, state taxes in Georgia, and I assume in other
_ states, amount to $1.50 on a thousand cigarettes, or an-
other 50 on each pound of cigarette tobacco. In other
. swords, the taxes on a pound of cigarette tobacco amount
_ to $1.67. The cost of manufacturing a thousand cigarettes
is is approximately $1.25, or 42c for each pound of tobaceo.

There is going to be a terrific demand for tobe
demand will far outstrip production. There is no
_why this vears tobacco crop should not bring 950c a p
and whi: s is produced next year will probably bring :

pound if the price is not controlled.
Tt the farmer gave away his tobacco, the price of cig-

-arettes would not be substantially affected. On the other
hand, if the farmer was paid 60 a pound for all of his to-

paceo, the price of cigarettes would still not be substantial-
ty affected.

eve (Mr, Colberg er pimitted the ee of all this bat said he
Yad no control over the tax laws, that his job was to pro-
teet the. consumer and the only man he could work on was
the farmer who raises the tobacco..

The tobacco growers will be called upon ioe vo
July 24 for or against acreage control. Before the fa
vote on this, they are entitled to know whether there
be a ceiling on tobacco and, if there will be a certs
it will be and. how it will operate.

For the tobacco erowers to be asked to go out blir
and vote on acreage. eo without being informed
the policy of the government will be regarding pric
unfair and unreasonable.

On account of the shortage of food said the tank the
are at war, it is all right for the farmers to. reduce
tobacco acreage and increase their food acreage, but
tainly they should be dealt with fairly with both wy
and food crops.

5 Last year. the price of: the Coie tobaceo crop was
alont 8 a pound less than the price paid for the same kind |
of tobacco in other states. If this practice is followed this
year and a ceiling price is fixed at 38, it would for all prac-
tieal purposes mean a. 30 ceiling. on G yeorgia tobacco, .

- Under the plan outlined by Mr. olberger Hie Mr.
Gates the companies who buy the tobacco would have the
diseretionary power to pay as high and as low prices. as
they chose, Just so they averaged the ceiling price.

Jt isa trick to cat until the markets open. to : anne

the policy of price ceilings.

Farmers should wait and not offer any tobae 0.
sale until the ceiling is announced, or until the faet i
novneed that there will be no ceiling. Then they willl
_ better rot to-do about selling their tobacco,

ee you do not have to sell tobacco on the
aes day unless vou want to.

I would wait and see.

- For instance, if the ceiling was 38 and they bought a-
thousand pounds of tobaeceo at 8c, they could turn around
eee pay 68 for another thousand pounds.

iL the ceiling price was fixed at 38 and they bought
5 the Georgia crop at.an average of 30c, they could pay 46

: _ for the same number of pounds j in other states, TOM LIN DER,

It would likewise be true that if one farmer was paid om, ssioner of Agric :

below the ceiling price paotaer farmer could he paid above
the ceiling price. 3
