FIRM OPENING, THEN REACTIONS.
WITH SMALL NET LOSSES.
COMMENT ON MARKET.

NEW YORK, April S.--The opening
was accompanied with another show of
strength, and higher prices were record
ed all along the line. Then the profit
taking began, and before the noon hour
the gains were wiped out, with net
losses generally of about Y point, from
which there was slight recovery
London was closed, but Wall street
was very much alive, with decidedly
bullish sentiment prevailing the security
interests. The general impression seems
to be that the setback was due entirely
to, the taking of profits, and not to any
other cause
The gossip of the traders offices was
not bearish. On the contrary, the Street
Is still bulish, but when II finds profit
taking, generally eases off till II is over.
II Is recognized however. that the
market has made q sharp advance In a
short time and without any ma orial
setback. and the professionals feel that
one should be In order. The technical
position is more favorable to the bears.
as the lines of stock are reduced. but,
just the same, the undertone is Of
strength, and the top may be distant.

ILLEGAL
Sale Of Accelerated Butter
Is Reported
To The Dairy And Food
Commissioner

In spite Of the fact that State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Strode, with
the cooperation Of the press Of the
state, has given frequent notice of the
seriousness Of the ofYense of adulterat
ing dairy products, complaints are
still coming to the department from
various sections Of the illegal sale oil
adulterated butter which is made by
merging butter and milk in the 80
called butter merger. The state dairy
and food department is investigating
these complaints and prosecutions will
be brought against all offenders
against whom the charge can be sus
tained. Some violators of this Law
have already been fined, and the de
partment will continue its diligence ir
this direction, as the sale of this com
bined milk and butter for genuine
butter is q gross fraud on the con
sumer. This product cannot be sold
as butter, because it would not con
tain more than forty or forty.five pei
cent Of butter fat, while the nationa
standard for butter is eighty-two ant
one-half per cent. This merger but
ter will not meet any test, either un
der the national or state laws, and the
least penalty for selling 1t is $500
provided 1t contains no artificial col
oring matter.
When the original butter has beer
artificially colored, or when colorint
matter Is added In the process o
merging, the person responsible Il
designated by the Ohio law as a manu-
facturer of oleomargarine, and wheth
er he sells this merged butter or not
he is liable to fine of not less thar
$4,000 nor more than $4,000.
Any one not the maker of thi!
merged butter who sells 1t or offers 4
for sale, II 1t is artificially colored, II
subject to fine of not less than $50. on
nor more than $4,000.
Violators are also warned tha'
agents Of the federal government are
canvassing this state for infractions Of
the national dairy laws, and no citi
zen can afford to take the chance o
severe penalties under both nationa
and state laws for the few cents h
will gain by selling milk for butter.

their votes last Tuesday. The first
half dozen or so changes IN each list
are the most important. A few less
important changes resulting from the
election are not included, but they are
Of minor Significance.
Even a glance down the line Of
sweeping constitutional changes will
Indicate the tremendous import Of the
political revolution" brought about in
Ohio in so short q time.
This revolution places Ohio among
the most progressive states in the
Union. Not even the so-called radical
states Of the West can any longer
claim the progressive championship.
In fact some Of the reforms in Ohio
have been too drastic even for the
great majority Of the states that have
been leading the march for political
change. Such q reform is that making
possible verdicts by less than IL mem.
bers Of jury in civil cases. Another
such is the permissive minimum wage,
and still another the possible proven.
tion Of occupational diseases.
However, excluding all Of the other
changes effected last week, the initia-
tive and referendum alone will be suf-
ficient to place Ohio in the so-called
progressive lead. The Ohio I. and r.
is regarded by many as even more
drastic than that employed In the wes-
tern states, even though 1t does not
contain any provision for the direct
initiative.
Under the Ohio I. and r. which be-
comes effective October 1, six per cent.
Of the people can force the hand Of the
general assembly to submit any pro.
posed or enacted law to popular vote.
The principle operates as follows:
Whenever three per cent Of the people
petition the assembly for law and
the assembly ignores the petition,
three additional per cent. or six in all,
can send the law automatically to
popular vote. Or If the assembly en-
acts a law which six per cent of the
people do not like, they can force 1t
to be submitted to the people as q
whole.
In the case of proposed constitution.
al amendments, the Ohio initiative and
referendum gives ten per cent. Of the
people the power at any time to have
an amendment submitted to popular
vote without any reference to the gen.
eral assembly.
The new era in Ohio will be watch.
ed with interest by the whole nation.
Already the results Of the Ohio elec-
tion have been published to the world
and all manner of comments are be.
ing made throughout the country.
The rest of the United States is
especially interested for the reason
that Ohio always has been regarded as
in the conservative" lists of common
wealths. II the changes are success
f,,l-here, they wiu doubtless be copied
elsewhere. Just now, however, nc
other state as far East as Ohio has
anything so progressive as that which
the Ohio people have just inaugural
