an administrative or revenue stand
point and should be So amended as to
remedy il in both respects.
Considerable comment has. in the past
been made in the matter of the produc-

loss to the government OF taxes on that
product and while il Is true that the gov
ernment sustains quite loss on this ac-
count. il is not TO be compared with the
loss that may be and has been sustained
in the Illicit traffic in oleomargarine In
any of the three or four large cities of the

Other recommendation made are:
To impose a nominal tax-say, / cent

drawn for denaturation. which tax should
yield a return approximately equal to the

The recommendation is renewed that the

may prescribe. Section 81. act of Au-

Increase Is General.

In almost every article or occupation

ROME, December 1.-THE death of
Cardinal Rampolla, former papal secre-
tary of state, last night was not made
known to Pope Plus X until this morning.
Cardinal Merry del Val and Mgr.
Givanni Bressan, the Pope's private sec
rotary. went to see his holiness at an
early hour. intending to break the sad
news as gently as possible. But when
the Pope heard the name Of Cardinal
Rampolla coupled with the word ''indis-
position he grew pale and begged them
to tell him the truth without hesitation,
as anxiety and uncertainty affected him
more than anything else. The two prel-
ates then told him that Rampolla was
dead.
AS recently as Saturday the Pope had
received Cardinal Rampolla, who was then
apparently in his usual good health, and
spoke at length about many affairs.
The Pope later issued the following
statement:
Cardinal Rampolla was one of the
greatest men in the church. He had be-
come even greater since he retired from
state affairs
Highest Honors for Deceased.
His holiness ordered that the highest
honors should be paid to the deceased
cardinal.
On Sunday evening last Cardinal RAM
polla received Slas McBee and his wife
of New York and discussed with them the
question of bringing about a better
Outstanding between all religious sects.
Cardinal Rampola was the closest col
laborator with Pope Leo XIII in the
movement for the reunion of the Chris
tian churches. When Pope Leo was dying
a cablegram was received in Rome say
ing that the American Protestant congre-
cations were praying for his recovery.
Cardinal Rampolla took the dispatch i'm
mediately to the dying pontiff, who in
structed Cardinal Rampolla to write that
the message had been a great consola-
ton to him, it had proved that his
scheme for the reunion of the churches
was not dream.
