FOR AND AGAINST.
WARM Fight Promised In the Kansas
Legislature over Passage OF an
Anti-Oleo BIN.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 25-In all prob
ability the hardest fight of the present
session of the legislature will be that
over the bill which has been intro
duced in the senate and house by Sem
ator Hanna, of Clay, and Mr.. Grosser,
Of Dickinson, prohibiting, under Sc
we're penalties. the manufacture and
sale of oleomargarine, butterine or
any substitute for butter. Back Of the
fight in favor OF the bill stands the Kan
sas Creamery company. The passage
OF the bill will be vigorously opposed
by the packing houses and the stock
yards at Kansas City. The National
Creamery association, which held its
annual meeting at Topeka last spring,
appropriated 5000 for Legislative
purposes" This money and per-
haps more raised from the local cream.
cry interests Of the state will be used
In lobbying the anti-oleomargarine
bill through the legislature. The cat
tlemen in the house-those who handle
cattle 10 sell on the market and not
for dairy purposes-are opposed to the
bill. They claim that II the legisla-
ture should prevent the use Of the
olien which Is in cattle, It would re-
duce the price Of cattle several dollars
on each head
