begun last week and the building will
be pushed to completion as fast as pos
sible. Capacity will be 10000 bushels,
the capacity of the present elevators
being 10000 and 10000 respectively.
With the amount of grain expected to

Capacity is none too large, so there was
plenty of demand for the new structure.

Poll Turner County.

y
The Aberdeen News makes the fol-
wing comment on the political situa-
ion in Turner county:
Two years ago Turner county was
ne of the strongholds of insurgency.
n the republican primaries of 1908,

ate for the republican nomination for
overnor, polled 1893 votes to only
81 votes for ]. L. Browne, the stall

drs. Kaufman won him hundreds of
riends and admirers in Turner county.

'oll of that county, and this is the
esult they obtained:
Iessey. ........ ..... ........ $50
Slrod ..... ...... 800. ....... $50

Decrease in Vessey vote. ....... SIG
1t will be seen by the above, that
while Elrod has almost held his own
With the Browne vote of two years ago.
Egan has cut the Vessey vote nearly in
sWo. 1t should be remembered that
this is not stalwart poll of Turner
county. 1t is an insurgent poll,
although the insurgents cannot be
expected to acknowledge it just now.
The News has heretofore pointed out
the fact that Egan is making vast
inroads into the Wesley strength. Its
position is confirmed by the insurgent
poll of Turner county. When it is
remembered that j. L. Browne was
defeated two years ago by Robert S.
Wesley by only trifle over 200 votes
and that Vessey has lost over 500 votes
in one county, it is evident the insurg-
ents already see the hand writing on
the wall. They will continue putting
up bold front from now until June z,
but the fact remains that the insurg-
ents are defeated, and their leaders
know they are defeated.

Commonest Method of Fraud.

Mr.. Cabell then described what he
termed the commonest method Of fraud,
that is, the purchase by a dealer of UNI
colored oleo. the coloring of it by the
dealer and the placing of it in revenue
package designed for colored Oleo, upon
which the revenue tax is ga cents "a
pound higher.
What would there he TO prevent the
dealer from securing any amount of these
revenue-paid packages. putting them in
butter f1rkins. selling the product for but
ter and continuing the deception of the
public?" asked Mr.. Tawney.
That is what we consider one very weak
point in the statute now said Commits
sioner Cabell. SELLING oleomargarine for
butter is not an offense."
After considering the matter very fully
the appropriations committee inserted in
the sundry civil bill a paragraph extend
ing the general internal revenue provi-
sions, the summary rights remedies pre-
viously referred to, to cover the collection
of the tax-on oleomargarine.

only to defeat the pending bills to remove

Most people believe that the selling of
oleomargarine for butter is an offense
But it is not, according to Royal E.
Cabell, United States commissioner Of in
ternal revenue. Commissioner Cabell also
told the appropriations committee that
there had been a steady increase in oleo-
margarine frauds.
The decisions OF the courts" he said
shave uncovered some very material de-
administrative standpoint. The decisions
Missouri and Colorado have been partic-

point
What construction have the courts
made of that law which had led to in

1.-The chief decisions that have given us

have been the decisions that the Oleo-
margarine statutes are not a part of the
general internal revenue laws, but con-
stitute a complete body of laws of them
selves, and consequently no internal rev.
enue statutes are applicable to the en-
forcement of the oleomargarine law un-
less expressly made applicable thereto.
