ALUM BAKING POWDERS
In CONGRESS.
SENATE COMMITTEE REPORT THAT
THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR
HARMFULNESS IS OVER
WHELMING.
Efforts to Pass Pure Food Laws OPP
posed by the Alum Trust
Speech of Senator
Mason. ..

senator Mason's speech in the senate
upon the subject of pure food embraces a
clear statement of the danger to which
the public health is exposed from alum
baking powders.
The Committee on Manufactures were
some time ago directed to investigate food
authorizations, and at numerous sessions
in the principal cities accumulated vol
ume of testimony upon the subject from
the best Informed parties and highest sci
entifc authorities in the country.
One Of the greatest sources Of danger
to our foods, the Committee stated in
their report, exists in alum baking pow
ders The Committee found the testi
mony, they say, Overwhelmingly condem-
natory of the use of alum in baking pow
ders, and recommend that such use be
prohibited by law.
Senator Mason, discussing the report
Of the Committee and the several bills
introduced to carry the recommendations
of the Committee into effect, said:
Alum Absolutely Unfit for Food.
When we made this report we made
1t based on the evidence before US, and
the evidence Is simply Overwhelming. L
do not care how big a lobby there may
be here for the alum baking powder. do
not care how many memorials they
publish, there is no place in the human
economy of human food for this thing
called alum. The overwhelming evidence
OF the leading physicians and scienti SITS
of this country is that it is absolutely
unfit to go into human food, and that in
many caSes-lf the gentleman will read
the evidence, some of the physicians say
they can trace cases in their own prac-
tice-there are diseases of the kidneys
due to the perpetual use of alum in their
daily bread. l want to give the senate
an idea of the class of men we have
called They are the leading scientists
from every college of the United States
that We could get hold of. We had
open DOORS and no witness ever came be-
tore that committee in the twelve months
We were hearing evidence but who was
permitted to testify
The leading physicians of the world say
that cream of tartar is a pure, natural
healthy food product 1t is a product
of the grape, and when it is put in solu-
ton IN the bread with Soda if there is
a reSlduum left it does not hurt the stom-
ach, and 1t does not go into nor injure
the brain or the blood or the kidneys.
Alum Mineral Poison.

they all say that alum is, it is imposs.b e

and also reyerscs himself and appoints
a Master. Why? IN the first instance,
he was compelled to be governed by the
decision Of the State court. If he had
stuck to his resolution not to appoint a
Master, the case would be concluded and
the State, county and city treasures
would be in receipt Of the.taxes. Being
forced to change his decision as to power.
he Hops i'm his other decision and ai>-
points a Master to take testimony. The
testimony by the Master is not to settle

information Of Judge Simonton. and there
are plenty Of ways by which tho case can
90 on indefinitely and a decision be post
Eoned for more than Il year. Is that the
object! SO far as the ~apDoiutmpnt OF

If Simonton continues to hang this mat
ter up. there is redress. The Legisla-
turc can tax the railroads at Il fair val
uation in Il manner that the courts have
already decided is constitutional. The
people are very tired Of having i Federal
judge override the State in its soycr-
cign power Of taxation ut the behest Of
great railroad corporations that enjoy all
the benefits of government and seek by
judicial usurpation to escape paying their
share Of it's burdens. The, people OF
North Carolina are eminently just. They
would not tolerate the imposition OF I'M
Just burdens on railroads, and neither
will they tolerate the escape of taxation
by them. The Corporation Commission
has assessed the railroads for taxation
1T $42, OO,COO. The railroad property
would sell at Il forced sale for at least
100000 coo. Is that depressing corpor-
atlClls? If Sim0nton enforceS escape un-

called upon to devise q system that not
