olEo LAW STANDS.

Washington, May 81 THE Supreme
Court of the United States in an opin-
ion by Justice White today upheld the
constltutionality Of the Oleomargarine
law.
Leo w. McRay sued the Government
In the Southern District OF Ohio TO re-
cover $50 paid by him as penalty for
the sale of a fifty-pound package of
colored oleOmargarine containing Il
stamp tax of three-quarters OF cent
\ pound instead of 10 cents pound.
McRay's counsel argued first, that, al
though the "oleo" was colored 10 look
like butter, the color was obtained by
The use OF butter which was itself arti-
ficially colored. but the use OF which
as an ingredient in the manufacture OF
"oleo' was authorized by law; and.
second, that the tax of 10 cents pound
was prohibitive and confiscatory and
an attempted federal usurpatlon OF the
police powers of the States.
The court said that the tax contem-
plated the finished product and not the
details Of manufacture. II the "oleo'
was colored 1t should have the higher
tax and IL uncolored the lower tax. re-
gardless of how obtained. AS to the
amount OF the tax, the court said It
was settled that the court could not
consider the amount Of any tax fixed
by Congress, this being purely a po-
lltical function.
The Court therefore affirmed the
Judgment OF the lower court, upholding
the validity OF the law and the tax.
The Chief Justice and Justices Brown
and Peckham dissented.
