The Ten Cent oleomarearine Tax

Why did the congress of the United
States enact the presant oleomagarine
law which provides for an internal
revenue tax of ten cents per pound GU
artificially colored Oleomargarinep
Was it to permit the butter producers
of the country to exact high price
for butter as has been claimed9 To
make such a claim is a pretty seri-
Gus indictment of our federal law
making body.
OF course butter is higher in price
than it was ten years ago but so are
other necessities of life. The per-
centage of Oleomargarine now being
put upon the market bears a higher
ratio to the amount of butter con-
sumed than it did ten years ago.
This coupled with the fact that less
than three per cent of the oleomar-
garine sold is taxed at ten cents per
pound proves that the oleomargarine
law has absolutely nothing to do with
the price of butter Congress enacted
this law to prevent fraud in the sale
of oleomargarine- The law was never
intended to prevent the honest sale
of oleomargarine or to enhance the
interests of the butter producers of
the country, but rather to protect the
one against fraud in the purchase of
butter or oleomargarinea and the other
against fraudulent competition. Con-
gress intended to compel the sale of
oleomargarine in its natural color

He'll Come Back

There is a general talk in the news
papers that the result of the recent
election puts an end to Roosevelt as
the supreme political power in this
country. Such theory is based on
hopes or misunderstanding and will
be found as fallacious as the one that
the moon is made of green cheese.
The defeat in New York will turn
out to be good thing for Roosevelt.
The people were getting tired of his
winning all the time and doing every
thing and everybody. The plain plug
citizen came to the opinion that
Roosevelt was getting too chesty and
ought to be shown that he was not
the entire performance. So when he
had personally licked the Republican
party of New York into submission
and forced a candidate of his choos-
ing on the party, the peopled mopped
the earth with him just to prove that
he did not own the planet.
If Stimson had won in New York
this feeling of the people that Roose-
welt is selfish and wants everything
would have been kept in store for
1912. Now the people have shown to
Mr.. Roosevelt that they can smite
him when he gets too gay and they
will be much more apt to whoop it up
for him and what he wants in 1912
than they would have been if he had
run riot of victory up to that time.
In the first place Roosevelt is the
kind of gent you can't keep down
Roosevelt will now be a martyr and
the martyr business pay in politics.
And in the third place he has been
punished and the licking need not be
repeated.
So Roosevelt will sscome back -

A Beastly Crime
Union.

Glen Adams, a boy of 10, who was
shocking corn for j. E. Huntington,
a farmer living northwest of Morland,
is in Jail on charge of shooting and
killing Jos. Anderson, a bachelor
whose home was six miIes north and
a. mile east of Morland. The evid-
ence seems to be that Adams took
Huntingtons shot gun and three shells,
all there were in the and walked
about three miles to Anderson's home
ON election night about 10 O'Clock.
He first set fire to a straw stack near
Anderson's house and then set the
manure pile near Anderson's barn.
Secreting himself in or behind the
barn he waited for Anderson's appear
ance. He came out with bucket of
water and when near the fire Adams
emptied a load of shot into his arm
and shoulder. He dropped the buck
ct and started for the house. The
murderer followed up and shot twice
more, missing ono and the other TAX
ing effect in the back. With the
shells gone and Anderson not dead
Adams fled. Joe managed to walk
over to his brother Sans who phoned
for a physician and then went over
and put out the fire. The sheriff was
unable to do much until daylight
when the tracks about the house
were found leading away to the south.
Following the trail which was brok-
en- in places but picked up again soon
started a suspicion as to Adams.
The tracks were followed to Hunting
tons and the boy was taken in
charge. Mrs. Huntington said the
says he was out fixing the fence.
His tracks exactly correspondent with
the trail and those about the scene
of murder. Blood hounds were given
the trail and followed it to Hunting
tons. The boy was accused last
spring of burglarizing the house of d.
c. holland who lives near Huntingdon
and he was arrested. The trial came
up but the county attorney failed to
appear and prosecute and he was re-
leased. If he could escape prosecu-
ton for bold burglary why should he
feel much danger Of he committed
murder9 The theory of the crime is
robbery. Adams has been wanting
to go home to his parents in Pennsyl-
vania and felt that Joe might have
money that he could get if he could
get him out of the house and kill him.
Anderson died at noon Wednesday.

(which is white or nearly SOY instead
of in the natural color of butter
(which is Yellow. Congress at the
same time reduced the former tax of
two cents per pound on oleomargarine
to one-fOurth of a cent per pound
when the product is not artiticially
colored to look like butter.
Congress used its taxing power
to prevent fraud in the sale of cleo
margarine because it had no other
effective means of accomplishing that
result. When oleomargarine is put
upon the market in its natural color,
thus making it impossible to commit
fraud, the tax is one and three-fourthS
cents less per pound than under any
previous oleomargarine law.
The butter producers of the country

James Tague of Banner, Kans-,
thinks the experimental period in
Western Kansas is past, and that
from now on that part of the state
will continue to develop more rapidly
into a good farming country When
he landed in Trego county 25 years
ago homesteads could be had, and he
secured one. Since then he has been
staying right with the country, and
now he is the owner of 5000 acres of
land. THAT part of the state has
been settled and resettled a good
many times during the last 25 years,
said Mr.. Tague. The booms would
come and go, and people would come
in, settle and in short time pull up
and leave so that we got bad name
out there, and the country itself was
badly misrepresented. Every time
any one left the country they gave 1t
a bad name. But we are:on basis now
where there is no danger whatever Of
going backward again. Each year
now we find that land prices are just
a little higher. No more homesteads
can be had, and all the land is owned
now by persons who are going to re-
main there. We have started to
raising alfalfa and hogs, and carry on
farming in the regular way. Wheat
covers more acres than any other
grain. In recent years wheat crops
have been good, and prices high,
which put farmers on their feet and
added to land values. The acreage of
wheat put in this fall is large,
perhaps larger than last year. In
places, however, the wheat has not got
up, as it has been just little too dry
on the surface for it to grow. But a
snow or rain will give it a start. :"
Mr.. Tague has been down to Excelsior
Springs for three weeks and is now
on his way home. He is one of the
well-to-do stock farmers of Trego
county. He handles a good deal of
stock and also raises large amount
of wheat and other crops.-K. G.
