TAX on oLEoM.NRGAR 1NE.

Ten years ago there was on the stat
ute books an act which provided for
the taxation Of all oieomargarine, but
terine and other substitutes for butter
AT the rate of . cents per pound, wheth-
err Colored or not. Nine years ago that
act was amended by providing for a
tax OF 10 cents per pound on 3coloren
CLEO. while permitting the manufac-
turc OF the uncoiored product under
tax of u of cent per pound
OStensibly this charge was made for
the purpose of raising revenue
The actual result has been Il total
loss of some ten millions of revenue
with an enormous increase In the pro-
ductlon and use of butter substitutes.
These facts have been brought to the
attention of the finance committee OF
the s,snate through the reports of the
commissioners of internal revenue In
asiuuch as the committee is endeavor-
ing etrenuously, to find some ways of
increasing the treasury receipts with
out increasing taxation. a proposition is
on foot to restore the old rate of .
cents per pound on all 'oleo" and fix
severe penalty for its sale in any 9TH
er than the original package. In other
words to treat oleomargarine and but
tartne exactly as tobacco is treated
Force the dealers to sell it for Just
what it Is and to 50 pack and brand
The substance as to afford complete
protection to the con sumer. 1t is prac-
tcally certain that with tax of
cents per pound upon all varieties OF
butter substitutes at least a million dol
lars n year more than is now secured

and with each package properly labeled
and with government supervision Of

AFTER NEARLY FIFTY YEARS.
Visitors to Washington who take a
run out to Cabin John Bridge near
the Maryland line, on the Potomac, Will
no longer have occasion to notice the
blank line In the inscription stone of
the structure. Jefferson Davis was
secretary of war when that stone was
set in the s,reat arch, and that fact
was recorded on the Stone. But Jeffer-
son Davis was president of the con-
federacy when the Bridge was finish
ed and feeling against him was SO Bit
ter that under orders of his successor
Secretary stanton, his name was cut
from the stone,
Forty years later a Young man,
Charles C. Carlin, was elected to Con-
gress from the Alexandria district of
Virginia. One of the first public bills
he introduced was designed for the
purpose OF closing the historical gap
and directing the recuttng of the
name of Davis on that stone.
The bill liaver passed, because other
inca sures crowded 1t aside But it came
TO the attention OF President Roosevelt,
who saw the folly of permitting tile
FLANK space to remain unified. He or
dered tho natnc OF Jefferson Davis to be
again placed where 1t was nearly 50
YEARS ago and the work is being done
by :. native OF Mississippi who came TO
Washington fol. the purpose. There
waa not n mulmur of protest from any
one so far as known and there prob
ably never Will be.
This is only one indication of the dy-i
ing out of the feeling of aninosity be-
tween the north and the south, There
is another Indication this week Alex
andria. the home OF Congressman Cars
lin, has been celebrating the hundred
and tenth anniversary of the inaugu-
ration OF President Washington. There
was q big celebration with music. flow
crs. parales and all those indications
of Joy and good feeling which accom-
pany such functions. Among other
things was the dedication of new
park In this park is the first fort
erected by the Union troops In southern
soil. i was built Immediately after
the murder OF Col Ellsworth in the
streets of Alexandria and 1t was named
after the gallant officer Of the first
Zouave' regiment
When the committee of Alexandriau
citizens discovered that the ruins OF
this old fort We're within the limits of
the new park they decided to restore
the works and the strange spectacle
was witnessed on Thursday of a party
of loyal southern men in the act of
rededicating u hostile Union fort on tho
sacred sol of Old Virginia, and they
did the work up royalty.
The Civil war has certainly come to
q close.
