Olcemargarine.

The oleomargarine bill passed yesterday
by the House tends to strengthen the
laws already on the statute books of the
nation and the states against the fraudu-
lent handling of limitations of butter Like
the original package law relating to the
interstate handling of liquor it gives force
ana effect to state laws of a restrictive and
prohibitory nature by preventing exports
OF the tabooed articles from states that
are without such laws into other states
where such statutes are in force The
proposed law will not interfere in the least
with eny legitimate industry and the only
ground of opposition to it seems to be that
lts enactment detracts in a measure from
the right of Congress to regulate COM
merce between the states. This sugges-
ton, which formed the burden of argu-
ments against the bill in the debate in the
House- did not appear to frighten the ma
uonai legislators, for the precedent estab-
hshed by the original package" law has
not proved menace, but, on the contrary.
has been a benefit to the states and to the
nation There is no reason why the va
fious limitations Of butter should not be
subject TO the same rule

course, but one step in the right direction.
In order that the full fruits may be gath
cred, now that the scheme in the interests
of the railroads has been rejected, the
proper action in the interests of the gov
ernment should promptly be enforced.
Congress and the Executive should work
together to press the advantage thus
gained. end If they do so there is every
reason to believe that the government will
get its money. These questions, in their
last analysis, are plain enough. The. gov
ernment as partner in any transaction Is
entitled to as fair and conscientious treat

necessary to secure this at any time is
for those in charge of the governments $
