OIL BILL OFFERED
IN LEGISLATURE
Adams Proposes Tag Tax and
Inexpensive Analysis of
Products.

Not satisfied. apparently. with having
initiated a pure paint bill and amend
ments to the pure seed laws. Berkeley
d. Adams. Of Charlotte, introduced IN
the House yesterday q measure provid
ing for inspection and tagging of illu-
minating oils sold In this State His
Indifference to trouble is the admira.
tion of the Legislature.
This bill. which differs materially
from the Byrd bill of last session.
which caused such a fight and which
went to Its death in the Senate after
being passed by the House, would have
the analyses of oils offered for sale
made In the same maner as those for
fertilizers are now handled Tho fer
tilizer inspectors OF the Department OF
Agriculture would draw the samples.
and they would be examined by the
chemists
The tax Is made only u of cent A
gallon. so as to give no reason to ad-
vance the price because OF the law. He
believes that 1t will not much more
than cover the cost OF enforcing the
law and making the examinations as 10
purity and Illuminating qualities. Tags
would be issued by the department to
be placed upon all cans of OIL. Penal
ties are provided for the sale of oil
which falls below the standard.
Mr.. Adams has letters which he in
terDrets to mean that In States where
such laws are In force the result IL
better oil, without an Increase in price.
1t is believed the alleged oil trust will
be heard from.

ment Of a general board of directors

The State Is authorized to acccp.
deeds from the Virginia Home and In
