DOCTORED BUTTER.

Consumers of butter In Iowa and ILL
nois complain that the State Is Hooded
with large quantities of old and inferior
butter which has been worked over
colorcd, and doctored with drugs 10
take ont the offensive smell. The high
price Of good butter has stimulated the
industry In the dOctorcd articlc, and deal
ers are said TO be making larger profits
on the bogus stun than on the best
creamery. Al first II was supposed that
the undesirable article was OlcOmargar

Commissioners has investigated The
matter, and he reports that 1t j. man

SECRETARY WILSON ON The GR0U7
BILL.

In Il letter IN the Senate committee
on agriculture, which IL still weighing
the dement's of the understandable
Circuit Interchangeable bill, Secre-
tary Wilson makes an argument In ia
v0r of the measure whose thinly dis
griscd purpose Ii the destruction of q
large and legitimate industry. AS II
member of the cabinet Mr.. Wilson
should decline participation in contro'
yersies between special interests. Ev-
crybOdy understands that votes, not
principles or public utility, will deter
mine the fate of the GrOut bill. 1t Is
class legislation. The government Is
invoked by one set Of producers to step
in and rid them of another set, whose
competition Is becoming inconvenicnt.
| 1t Is not for u cabinet minister To lend
his official authority To IN attempt of
| this SORT.
Secretary Wilson testiiies that the act
oleomargarine and prevent deception on
| the part of merchants generally" but
he hastens 10 add that "it has not fur
nished adequate protection TO produc-
ers and consumers" This, we presume,
means that retail dealers are still able
to sell oleomargarine rs butter, which
Is true. But Congress has been offered
other means of preventing fraud, ana
| II has paid no attention To any sugges-
! ton stopping short of destruction.
The proposed tax would kill the oleO-
margarine Industry. 1t is intended Ia
have this effect. 1t Is sophlstry 10 plead
that the higher tax Is to be imposed
only ON the product cOlOred to resemble
yellow butter. Consumers will not
have any other product There is no
more deception in cOlOrlng oleOmargar-
inc Than there Is I'm colorlng butter In
imitation of the best kind, and If Con.
gress We're really anxious to protect the
consumer the same bill would levy a
prohibtiye tax on colored butter. The
pretense is vain. Honesty in prOduc'
ton and trade demands that butter
shall he sold as butter and OleOmargar.

they say. can I've construed In half u
dozen ways. but at present and for
many years past the decisions are all
in favor of the corporations. The rec

this beyond question. These records
are the result of constructions placed
upon the licensing law by the officials
of the corporations. and allowed to pass
without controversy Ivy the city otii-
cials.
The question at law is whether the
general provision of the code or the
special provisions in the charters or
franchises of the companies govern.

they sold for future delivery on the
Board of Trade against the grain which
they owned and held In their ware
houses. Many members of the board
believed that this gave them an undue
advantage In the market and that the
effect of their operations was to unnat-
urally depress the price of grain. The
board denied the right of the ware
housemen to mix their own wheat In
their warehouses with that of Others
and to deal in the grain in their houses.
The Supreme Court substantially up
held the board. In 1897 the warehouse
men procured the passage of an act ar
irming the privileges which the board
had attacked. Judge Tuley now de-
cares this act unconstitutional.

TRACTION COMPANIES OWE ciiY.

According Ia n good authority, the
street car corporations of Chicago owe
the city treasury between S3,OOO,OOO and
Si.0OOOOO II the general licensing Ordi-
nance Oh the statute books should he
enforced.
Careful estimates show that for the
last seventeen years, ever since the
1883 compromise ordinance was passed,
the companies have been holding back
approximately 100000 per year, which
the city would he entitled to II the $50
per car license fee was enforced, in
stead of the hocus pocus methods OF
computing thirteen round trips per day
~ the basis for each ear license.
The aggregate difference between
what the license ordinance calls for
and what the street ear companies re-
ally pay is about S4OO0.OOO since the
1883 ordinance was passed. IL the
same methods continue until 1908,
when that ordinance expires, the net
loss 10 the city treasury for the twenty
years viii be between Si,WU,OOO and
s5,GO0.O0O And yet the city authorl-
tles are resortlng TO desperate methods
OF raising the revenue, while the street
car license ordinance is practically Il
dead letter.
The street ear corporations of Chi
cago alone, II they paid their licenses
according To the general municipal or
dlnance requiring them To pay $50 per
car per year, could lift the city out OF
It's present financial quagmire.
Tie companies have inserted In all
their special ordinances "A clause to the
effect that thirteen round trips per day
shall form the basis Of computation as
to how many ears shall pay licenses at
the $50 rate. They do their own iigur-
Ing. The city authorities have no check
on the companies n regards the pay
mrEt of Licenses aud merely accept the
statements OF each company's chief Of
fcrr that n certain number of cars
sIoEld pay license. II Is notorious that
the number Of cars turned in by the
different companies rs subject 10 IL
crU-c constitutes but n fraction of the
cars actually In service.
Lawyers claim that the street ear

in force. # Is an axiom In municipal
law that the licensing power is po'
lice power, ana that there Is nothing "a
prevent the City Council from fixing
the license under which an individual
or corporation may do business at any
rate II may consider Just and proper.
The nub Of the whole question is the
well settled rule In law that the gen.
cral police powers of the city, which
embrace the licensing powers, take
precedence Of an so-callcd contracts
under special ordinances. II Is by vir-
tue OF these special ordinances that the
street car companies are now cyading
the payment Of the full amount OF their
licenses 10 the city, although the gen.
.ral ordinance compelling them to pay
$50 per car has never been repealed.
city officials have been apparently I'M.
,settied In their Interpretations OF this
