BOGUS BUTTER.

Probability that Bill Designed to Prevent
Its Manufacture Will Be Reported.
Special to the INDIANAPOLIS journal.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-It is likely that early
next week the House committee on agriculture
will report bill designed to prevent. to q large
extent, the manufacture and sale of oleomargar-
inc and other substances in the form Of butter.
Just what this bill will provide it is difficult to
say at present, but there is no doubt that
small tax, ranging from l TO 10 cents
pornd will be one of the features of the BILL
Thistsax can only be levied for the purposes Of
reveNue. as Congress has no right to impose a
tax 1f any sort for the purpose of prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of any article. The fact
that it is designed to make this a revenue meas
ure will, in all probability, kill the BILL as Mr..
Morrison and his associates of the com
mittee on ways and means have announced
ground that it infringes upon their prerogatives,
as the rules give the ways and means committee
control over all measures designed for the pur-
pose OF raising revenue. No matter how meri-
torious a measure may be, and how much the
country may demand it, there are a great
many members of Congress who would
kill anything for the sake of retaining
their alleged rights in the consideration of bills
If this oeomargarine regulation bill is defeated
through the desire of Morrison and his Demo
cratic allies in the ways and means committee,
the farmers of the country should make note
of the fact, and in the coming election they
should show Messrs Morrison, Mills, May bury
ct al that they have some rights which Congress
is bound to respect.
