Mr.. Simmons Makes His
Maiden Speech in Oppo-
Sltion to the Measure.
RENOVATED BUTTER VS.. CLEO
Senator Dillingham; Declares Measure Is
Intended to Legitimize and Not to In
jure Industry-Tax Lighter Than Un-
der Present Law.

Senators Simmons and Dillingham; were
the speakers on the oIeo bill in the Sen
ate yesterday. Mr.. Simmons made his
maiden effort as a Senator, and Mr.. Dill
lingham made his first long speech.
Mr.. Simmons declared that in this
measure the statements and petitions of
the cotton seed oil men are ignored and
the representatives informed that they
do not know what they are talking about.
Cotton Seed Oil.
He was interrupted ty Mr Harris, who
stated that in his opinion cotton seed oil
had enough protection. Mr. Harris de-
clared that a bottle of pure olive oil
could not be bought in any grocery in
Washington. as cotton seed oil had taken
its place. Also that a box of sardines.
with pure olive Gil. could net be had:
but that whether the sardines were put
up on the coast of Maine or on the shores
OF the Mediterranean. it was cotton seed
oil. not Olive oil. that was used.
Mr. Simmons read from an Agricultural
Department report describing renovated
butter" and went on to give half
humorous description of its manufacture
He compared it unfavorably with oleo-
margarine.
In the course Of a colloquy after Mr.
Simmons had finished his speech, Mr.
Clark asked Mr.. Proctor Tin charge OF the
tilD whether it was his purpose or the
purpose of the Committee on Agriculture
to accept the amendment offered b. Mr.
Harris in relation to renovated butter.
Mr.. Proctor replied. 1T is
Mr.. Dillingham;. in his argument in ia
yer of the bill. said that it is not intend
ed to hurt oleomargarine as such in the
least. but to legalize it and give it stand
ing as legitimate and pure food article.
Tax Greatly Reduced
He called attention to the fact that pure
oleomargarine will bear a tax only 4
fourth as great as at present under this
bill and that only the colored article will
be heavily taxed.
A memorial from the Cattle and Horse
Growers Association of Colorado against
the passage OF the oleomargarine bill was
present I'd by Mr.. Patterson yesterday and
read at length. The memorilists say
that they represent practically the entire
livestock interests of Colorado and that
the pending bill is against the interest
not only of the growers of beef cattle,
but of the farmers and dairymen-all ex-
cept the big creameries.
