great liberators of the past. that they
may cleanse our law OF the ancient
wrongs that still cling to it. Let not

penetrating eye for the rights and

sympathy with the life and sufferings
of the people. May they never per-
petuate the tangles Of the laws for the
profit of their profession. but aid them

oLEoMARaAR1NE IN CONGRESS

Congressman Clayton the other day
took a shot at the internal revenue tax
on oleomargarine. Here is one passage
from his very excellent speech:
"Take the tax off oleomargarine,
You can still enforce your law requir-
ing it's inspection and that it be brand
ed as oleomargarine, giving the poor
a chance to butter their bread with an
attractive and wholesome article. IT
will not drive the inadequate supply
of cow butter out Of the market, nor
will it affect its price. The only effect
of the repeal of the oleomargarine tax
would be to give the humble poor a
chance to use this good article of food
at a cheaper price than that now ex-
torted from them.'
There is the whole case in a nutshell.
If the product is good, it should be sold
On its merits; and if it is not good, 1t
should not be fold at all.
The revenue doesn't make 1T any
better. 1t only adds to the PRICE
Herald Republican, Salt Lake.
Unless the government could Tx the
price, removing the tax is no assurance
that consumers would be able to buy
the goods for less than al present.
The war taxes imposed during the
Spanish American war on tobacco
caused the trust to reduce the size of
packages in place of increasing the
price. After the war was over the tax
was removed, but the trust has not re-
stored the package to its former size.
In this way the tobacco trust has been
adding the war tax to their regular
profits. 1t is clearly a steal from either
the public or the government and has
been going on ever since the war. 1t
is easy for the government to impose a
tax upon the people but it does not
seem SO easy to abate it.
Hides are now admitted free, but
leather of all kinds has advanced. This
revenue juggling cannot be charged to
the administration, but clearly to
"trick and device,' which is a felony
that it seems a grand jury should be
able to fasten upon the guilty parties
Congressman Clayton should look in
to the matter.

TARIFF WAR HAPPILY AvERTED

Concessions by both the United
States and Germany have averted a
threatened tariff war. Negotiations
have been concluded between the two
countries which viii settle the question
of q minimum rate with the exception
of cattle and dressed meat issue. This
wa eliminated in the present negotia
tions, to be taken up later in separate
diplomatic representation.
Under the agreement made Ameri
can rates will be exchanged for the
entire minimum list of Germany. The
result is considered advantageous tc
both countries. The state department
has issued a statement to the effect
that an understanding has been arrived
at, that there will be no tariff war
and no interruption to pass
ing between the two countries. The
magnitude of the business according
to the statement for the calendar year
just closed exceeds $500, 0O0, 1000.
