SENSATIONAL RAID BY SPECIAL AGENT W|THLOCAL OFFICER
Dr. M. P. James Assists in Clearing Up ''Moonshine' Oleomargarine Section
 of Louisville

One of the most sensational moon shine" oleomargarine raids 'ever made in the country has just been success fully conducted by special agents of the revenue department of the gov e1nment at Louisville, Ky, according to Dr. NJ. P. James of Birmingham, special revenue agent connected with the local office.
 pr. James returned to Birmingham yesterday after assisting a number of government officials from different states in cleaning up the ''moonshine" oleomargarine sections of Louisville. About a dozen dealers in oleomar- garine in violation of the law were landed in those raids and thousands of pounds of the near butter to- gether with many gallons of the col bring matter, were seized.
 Louisville is the biggest center of illicit oleomargarine moonshining in the south and is one of the most mo- tcrious centers for this work in tha entire country" said Dr. James yes terday. There are an exceptionally large number of these dealers and they have been very bold in their viola tions of the law Of course. the gov ernment allows the sale of oleomar- garine when properly labeled, but it charges a license both for retailing and wholesaling as well as manufactur- ing the product and in addition charges a per pound taN for the sale of col ored oleomargarine.
 Many of the dealers in Louisville were taking out license for handling uncolored oleomargarine, which is practically nothing. Then they were coloring the material and selling it as pure butter For colored 'oleo' the government requires a license of $500 per annum as we'll as stamp tax of 10 cents per pound. Some of these fellows we caught were not only col bring the stuff but were selling as high as 1000 pounds per week. there by defrauding the government not only out of the $500 annual license but out of probably S100 a week in addition
 Dr. James declared that oleomarga- rine according to the government tests. was not injurious and was not a bad substitute for butter. The heavy tax for coloring was put on to pre- vent the dealers from selling it as butter and deceiving the purchasers. That there were very few violators of the oleomargarine law in Alabama was the opinion of Dr. James.
