The oleo interests have l>egun thti^gj
eflorts to have the new oleo tax law
declared unconstitutional, choosing the ■
federal court at Cincinnati, O., as the
forum. Ths test case is now on, having
been brought by an action to recover the .
penalty prescribed by section 2 of the
act. It is being made on a forty-pound '
package of oleomargarine, which was |
made with half commercial butter pur- '
chased in the open market and 50 per !
cent oleo oil, made according to the for- '
inula by which the highest grade of oleo <
is made. Judge Miller Outcalf,law part
ner of Senator Foraker, represeuts the
oleomargarine interests and is backed
by the consolidated oleo interest of the
whole country. This will thoroughly |
test the validity of the law. Which j
ever way the case is decided it will be
appealed to the supreme court, where an
early decision will be had. The eternal i
revenue department, as well as the oleo
people, have been anxious to have the
constitutionality of the law tested.
It
is claimed by the oleo people that, in
this law, congress is delegated police
power, and has destroyed the produc- '
tion of the poor man’s butter. They
will seek to show that old time preju
dices against oleo have died out, and
that it is as pure a product as comes
from the creameries and equally as
wholesome.
Hill Not A Pessimist.
St. Paul, Dec. 15.—J. J. Hill, who has
just returned from an Eastern trip, says
that the alleged interview sent out from
Chicago in which he was made to take a
pessimistic view of industrial and finan
cial conditions, was purely imaginative
and that he did not talk with newspaper
men there.
“The business of the country is under
going a readjustment to meet changed
conditions," said Mr. Hill. “The most
alarming thing is the decrease in our ex
ports. We are importing much more
than we export. This is not due to a
larger home consumption ; it is because
our articles cost too much. Our people
demand better things than do those of
other countries aad our production has
been overtaking the needs of the countrv
too rapidly.
The things we manu
facture coat more than other nations
will pav and they buy elsewhere. Agn-
cuftural products, provisions and such
things sell readily everywhere. They are
not affected bv local conditions. I do
not know what will be done.
“ It is hoped that some adjustment
will be made to meet the conditions.
There is too much speculation now. and
too much boom. Just how it will come
out I do not know."
