PALM OIL Is BARRED.
Its Use in oleomargarine Will Entail
Tax Of Ten Cents a Pound.

Mr.. Yerkes, the commissioner Of internal
revenue has made a decision on the ques-
ton OF whether palm oil in very small
quantities may be used in the manufacture
of oleomargariue The commissioner holds
In the negative. He says:
Under the law a tax OF 10 cents per
pound is assessed against oleomargarine
unless 1t is free from artificial coloration
that causes 1t to look like butter of any
shade OF yellow. In which case the tax is
one-fourth Of one cent per pound.
This office rules that where so minute
and infnitesimal a quantity OF vegetable
oil is used in the manufacture of oleomar-
garine as is proposed to be used of palm oil,
and through its use the finished product
looks like butter of any shade of yellow, IL
cannot be considered that the oil Is used
with the purpose or intention OF being
bona fide constituent. part or element OF
the product. but is used solely for the pur-
pose of producing or imparting a yellow
color to the oleomargarine, ana. therefore.
that the oleomargarine ceored is not
free from artificial coloration. and becomes
subject to the tax of 10 cents per pound"

MR.. McMILLAN'S WORK
APPRECIATION OF WHAT HE DID
FOR WASHINGTON.
His Patriotic Services in Developing
the National Capital
Praised.

From the New York Tribune.
The death OF James Mcmillan, MichIgan's
senior representative in the United States
Senate, depietes by one the nations not too
ample list OF eminently useful and disinter-
ested public servants. The deliberate branch
OF Congress loses at the same time the
ripened counsel OF an experienced and trust
cd leader.
His dislnterestedaess as a public man
was shown in many ways-In no other more
conspicuously than in his acceptance and
retention, In the face OF offers far more
tempting to a man Of his capacity and en-
ergy, OF the always laborious. often un-
gracious role which falls to the chairman
OF the Seuate's committee on the District OF
Columbia. In this post. which he filed with
a constructive zeal and breadth OF view
which no predecessor had ever brought TO
me direction of the District of Colnmbia's
affairs, he generously served until the end
or his career, declining other Shower and
perhaps more congenial chairmanships.
The public project, however, with which
the Michigan senator's name has been
most intimately associated, and on which
his fame hereafter will most securely rest,
Is doubtless the regeneration, artistically
ana architecturally, OF the national capital.
To renew the capitals arrested develop
ment along the lines OF IEnfants noble
aud comprehensive plan was the dream OF
senator McMtllans legislative career. To
a." VIZ 6S Aai iiiVIe NfldH 10 any otnfr
agency IN or out OF Congress is due the
launching OF the scheme OF Identification
which some day will complete and crown
/ Enfant's and Washngton's far-seeing
work. The effort. begun by him, to give
the nation a capital city worthy Of it's dig
nifty and station among the worlds great
powers has still to overcome, inch by inch
the opposition OF economists of the hour
like Mr.. Cannon. But of the ultimate reaii-
zation of Mr.. McMillan's dream there can
be little question: and as the chief of the
builders OF the newer and statelier Wash
ington his name is sure to be held by the
American people in ever grateful remem-
brance.
