Rny Cnusins of lieoumont hod storied the whole thing bv sending up an amendment to the cigarette tax bill to levy n tax of 20 per rent of the retail val ue on “cigars, cheroots, stogies or little cigars.’’ After that, he just sat back quietly puffing on a cork-tipped cigarette while, the debate floated around him. ” Sen. A. M. Aikin Jr., of Paris, crushed his cigarette out in an ash tray and was the first one on his feet to object. “This is putting an entirely new item in the bill,” he declared. “Will the senator yield?” Kelley interposed. "Senator, will you yield to the senator from Hidalgo,” President of the Senate, Grady Hazelwood of Amarillo, asked Aikin. Aikin iust nodded. “Now, I don’t smoke—cigars or cigarettes,” Kelley began. “But there’s no use in our sitting here laying the tax on thick on tbe poor mail’s smoke, while we let the rick man’s smoke go free. It isn’t equitable distribution. But Aikin interrupted again— “furthermore, senator, it isn’t germane! I move to table the amendment.” That, did it. Cigars weren’t ger mane. They weren’t germane to the 'eantion of the bill, which said the bill wbuljd be about a tax on cig arettes, without even mentioning cigars. So Hazelwood rapped his gavel and began: “The senator from Jefferson sends up an amend ment; the senator from Lamar moves to table. Do you want a roll call vote?" “Yes,” Kelley demanded. "Yaa, I want a roll call. I want to know how many people are opposed to taxing c|gars.” The clerk began calling the roll of the senators. Sen. Jimmy Phll- llpe of Angleton, who has never been seen In public without a cigar In hla hand, craated a atir when he voted against tabling the propose! tax. Sen.
