WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
Extent to which the Anti-Oleo LAW Has
CurtaiIed Production of Spur
lOus Butter.
T'rom the Brattlcboro Pheonix)

Conflicting reports have been received
in the past two years in regard to the
erect OF the oeomargarine law in cur
failing the production of spurious butter
hut the well-informcd Washington cor
respondent of the Brooklyn Eagle Is au-
thority for the statement that the olco
industry has been nearly knocked out.
The manufacturers devised one dodger
after another to outwit tho government
officers charged with enforcing the law
For long while they succeeded in evad-
ing the harsher provisions of the act but
gradually they have been pinned down
closer and closer by adverse decisions
from the commissioner OF internal rev
enuc, until now they have about reached
the end Of their rope.
Tho tinal blow was delivered last week
when two Chicago oleo men We're sem
fenced to tho penitentiary and fined. while
several others were given terms in the
county iails with fines for violations of
the law. The government has pursued
with relentless vigor the men who have
attempted to keep up their old business
without complying with the new tax pro
visions. ono man was fined heavily for
merely folding the edge of his wrapping
parcr so that the word "oleomargnrinc'
wotld not appear, as required by law
The pure butter mon, who caused the
present law to be enacted. arc highly
u,
and predict that in a few more months
the last of the oleo factories will have
been closed
The government officials say that their
agents are collecting good deal moro
money at 10 cents a pound on olco than
the manufacturers have given UP at
tempting to evade the law and are nav
ing tine straight out tax or artiically col
orcd limitations OF butter. There Is n
heavy falling off in the production of
cleo. however, which goes to show that
the makers cannot dispose of tho white
goods. The oleo men are making their
last stand In the United States supreme
Court. where case will soon he argued
which will determine the constitutionali;y
of the ten cent tax on oleo initiated to
represent pure butter. II the court up-
holds the law imposing this tax 1t is pre-
dictcd that the oleomargarine factories
will go out of eXistance

A GENEROUS COUNTRY.

There are petty persons who are forever
snarling about the cost Of pensions.
The United States is paying pensions to
nearly million citizens as an act Of
simple Justice. not of liberality. Pen
sioners embrace men who responded, in
their early manhood, to the government
call for soldiers to save the Union. They
succeeded in that large undertaking, TAX
ing all the risks of four years Of war in
its deadliest forms. No pension will ever
requite them. Their monthly stipend
will add something to their comfort in
old age. Over 100000 of the pensioners
are soldiers widows or minor children.
Let those who begrudge it growl unan-
swered. They are not worth answering.
Pensions are an instance OF decent graf
itude, not of generosity. But this coun-
try is strong in generosity as well as
equity, as few examples will show.
There are 10000 Indians in the United
States. The government holds for thei r
benefit trust funds amounting to S24,
100000 and 100000 acres of land, an
average of 400 acres of land and sl00 in
money for every Indian man, woman and
child. The Indians, pro rata, are the
richest Americans. During the last thir-
ty years s240,0O0,0OO has been spent on
them. Appropriations for their educa-
ton have risen from $4,000 in 1877 to
100000 in 1901. In twenty years Con
gress has voted s45,000,000 for Indian
schools. This country has been generous
to Cuba beyond parallel in international
affairs. Its army of school teachers in
the Philippines is another instance of n
noble, big hearted way of looking at the
problems of government. In this direc-
tion the United States leads the world
Globe Democrat.
