LAW BRINGS LYTTLE BENEFIT Dreamery Butter Men See No Advance Due to Tax on Oleomargarine. FEW LICENSES TAKEN OUT IN OMAHA faternal Revenue Collector Gets Lit tle Money as Result of Imposi- o of Tax on Imita- tion Butter. ‘After three weeks of the operation of the Saw increasing the tax on colored oleo- margarine and levying & tax on removated nd process butter the creamery managers protess to see little marerial benefit from those provisions. The price of creamery butter 1s about 1 cent a pound higher in the markets than it was this time last year, but this condition s attributed to the shortage of the creamery product rather than to the mew law. One reason for this condition is that the commissioner of in- gernal revemue made & ruling several fmonths ago that the colored oleomargarine manufactured before July 1 would not be gaxed at the higher rate and manufacturers itored many thousands of pounds previous o that date. In some of the cities the dealers in un- ieolored oleomargarine have adopted a plan providing thelr customers with mehns lot coloring the product after it ia pur- ,nm.d for consumption. Small capsules butter color are prepared and printed ’llnflJcnn for incorporating the color with ithe oleomargarine are supplied by the man- |utactarers. When application is made for leomargarine to a dealer the customer is 'asked whether he wants it “with or with- out a capsule.”” If he desires to color the Olfilfl' substitute before it is placed on the !table the capsule and directions are given to him. According to some directions it s mecessary to place the oleomargarine in a lehurn with a little milk in which the color 18 dissolved. The mass is then churned and {worked and creamery butter finds its way ito the table, where only oleomargarine has ibeen purchased. Few Licenses Taken Out. Dealers in the butter substitute and the process butter have not been active in tak- ing out licenses at the office of the col- fector of internal revenue. There have been six manufacturers of process butter apply for permission to make the article, each paying a tax of $50. The wholesalo and netail dealers in this product are not gaxed. The law prescribes that the whole- Wale dealers shall keep a secord of sales amade 2o retailers, but as no tax is levied upon cither of the parties to the sale, the commissioner of internal revenue has sus- pended the operation of that provision of the law. Three wholesale dealers in uncolored oleommrgarine have paid the tax of $200 levied upon them, but none has showa any desire to handle In a wholesale way any of the colored product, which carries with it.a tax of $480. Ome retail dealer in col- ored oleomargarine has been found in the district who has pald the tax of $48. In Omaha . there arg about thirty-five retafl dealers in uncolored oleomargarine who bave paid the annual tax of $6. There are no manufacturers of oleomar- garine in the state, the Nebraska law, passed several years ago, having resulted in a suspension of operations in South |Omaha, where previously at least two plants ‘were in operation. f [OVER AUDITORIUM MATTERS Board of Hol | I At the meeting of the board of directors the Auditorium company the contraot th the Paxton-Vierling Iron works, car- |rying ‘with it the expenditure of $41,300 was approved and the president and seoretary ,‘M to aMx their signatures and the {seal of the company to the instrument.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, CUBA NEEDS THE MONEY NOW Government of the Island Republio Has Big Deficit in Sight. PEOPLE IN EARNEST ABOUT PERMANENCY Administration. A. W. Gumaer of St. Paul, Mian., who during the occupancy of Cuba by the forces of the United States was deputy collector of customs and deputy Immigration in- #pector at Havana, is in the city on his way bome from the island. Mr. Gumear re- mained in charge of the port at Havana until June 10, giving instructions to the native officials after the flag came down In May, and salled from Havana July 6. Speaking of conditions on the island ‘The gravest thing which confronts the new government is the question of finances. It looks rather quixotic for 1,500,000 people on an island to think of establishing a per manent republic, but the Cubans have en- tered upon the work with a will. They a modeling their laws upon those of t! United States, and are putting into force laws which the temporary government by this country did not deem expedient. At the occupation of the island the United States laws governing customs and immi- gration were gradually enforced with slight modifications. After May 20 th laws were not only continued, but & radical Ch! nese exclusion law was passed. This law is even more striot with reference to the return of Chinese denizens of the Island who have returned to their native land than the laws of the United States, and the: are several lmportant Chinese merchants now in Hong Kong who will have trouble in returning to Havana. Money the Main Question. “With all of their efforts the question of ralsing funds-to pay the expenses of gov- ernment {s difficult of solution. The budget for the current year is approxi- mately $22,000,000, while the best the United States officl: could do in a year was to raise $18,000,000 from the ordinary sources. In this extremity some of the members of the Cuban congress are looking toward the establishment of a natlonal Jot- tery as a source of revenue. For centuries during the Spanish regime a lottery was maintained by the insular government, only being suppressed by the United States forces. The returns from that lottery were sufficient to make up the deficiency in the budget, but President Palma may not con- sent to the operation of the game of chance. He has lived in the United States for thirty years and has become Americanized in the best sense of the word. A short time after the Cuban government was established pri- vate parties, including the publishers of all of the newspapers of the city, established lotteries, the winning number to be the last three figures of the daily customs receipts at the port of Havana. This continued for several Wi until President Palma learned of it and he {ssued an order for- bidding the publication of the dally re~ ceipts, thus putting the private lgtteries out of business for the time being. . Americans in Island. “The customs receipts have fallen off considerably since the new government took charge of the island, due in no small measure to the removal of United States officials who contributed largely through their personal demands for American goods to the imports of the island. At the pres- ent fime thero is only one force of Amer- fcans in the island and.tbat ls under the control of Mr. Stelnhart, who was ohiet clerk under General Wood. He s preserv- ing the records of the insular government of the American forces and is giving to the present government coples of all pa that are desired. It is impossible to say how long this force of clerks will be con- tinued, but probably for a year or more.’ PRACTICE WITH SMALL ARMS Competition at Targets Among En. listed Men of Department of the Missouri. Captaln W. M. Wright, inspector of small arms practice of the Department of the Mis- souri, will leave on Sunday for Fort Leav- enworth, where he will remain during the annual infantry target competition. There is a new rule in force in the army in re- gard to these competitions. -In former years the officers and enlisted men entered the competition on equal terms, both being in the same competition. Now there are competitions for the officers and men sep- arately. This year there will be no officers’ competition in this department, the one at Fort Leavenworth belng for enlisted men exclusively. One man from each of the twenty-four companies in the department will be sent to the grounds, this man being solected as the best marksman in the com- pany by the captain. The first four days will be devoted to shooting at targets set at known distances, one day being devoted to 200 yards, the second to 300 yards, the third to 6500 yards and the last to 600 yards. After this there will follow two days of skirmish firing, the targets being at un- known distances. The names of the com- petitors will be sent to headquarters on Monday, after which the program of events will be issued. Officers of the department have been re- ted to make report of experiments with the Luger automatic pistol, one of the side arms now under consideration by the War department. Other automatic plstols -are being experimented with, but reports are mot yet received. Major H. P. Birmingham, surgeon of the United States army, arrived in Omaba after having Inspected the hospital corps st Forts Niobrara and Robinson. He imm diately left for the south to inspect the hospital corps at Jefferson barracks and the forts in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kan- @as. It 1s understood that this inspection 1s being made to ascertain if & reduction can be made in the hospital corps in this department in proportion to the reduction in the total strength of the army. If the reduction is recommended the members of the present corps may be sent to the Phil- ippines, or transterred to some other branch of the service.

Try Bdboli's watch repairiag department, | and PENNSYLVANIA AND SANTA FE Another Cembination Raflread from the East te the West. The report that the Pennsylvania rafl- road is to take over the Santa Fe has been revived and was In eirculation among local rallroad men yesterday morning. “I understand that this report comes erable in it. You see that would give the Penneylvania a mighty thorough route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, forming & pow- erful link between traversing the greatest part of the United States, or, you might say, taking their connections Into consideration, traversing the whole of the United States.” The effect of such a combination or rail road purchase on the Union Pacific was also discussed in this connection. A Union Pacific official, while not doubting that such a move might be made by the Penn- sylvania, was not inclined to think that it would have any effect whatever upon their affairs of his road. At any rate, he was positive it would nof, could mot detract from the business of the latter, as claimed mo combination of roads could give as direct a route as the Union Pacific. The eastern connection of the Unlon Pa- cific and the most common reuting is made with the Northwestern and the New York Central, both Vanderbilt roads. This ar- rangement s considered more satisfactory by the Unlon Pacific, in which the Vander- bilts of course hold stock, than If that road owned its own track east, for it is clalmed it is in better position to make routing over other lines whenever .nec sary, for instance, its Kansas City travel through 8t. Louls, One common feature of the Pennsylvania and Santa Fe is that no dominant factor, such as a Hill, a Harriman, & Morgan or & ‘Vanderbllt, controls either road. Its stock is scattered ovef a wide expanse of terri- tory. The Santa Fe is said to be owned largely by New England parties, while vast amounts of the Pennsylvania are held abroad. “It s mot st all improbable that many of the stockholders in one of these roads is financtally interested in the other,” sald an official. “Probably there is a closer rela- tion already between them than erally kaown or belleved. I don't know to that, however.” Gerritt Fort, assistant general passenger agent of the Union Pacifio, h: returned from an official trip to St. Louls and other points south. Mr, Fort says there is a decided scarcity of labor in the southern tes and that large cottom growers are alarmed over the prospects of getting their crops, which are unusually heavy, gathered. Similar reports of & dearth of laborers were received from ‘the northwest, which suffered extensively last year from this cause. The wheat orop there is abundant and men are said to be so scarce that it is neceasary to resort to the most ingenious plans to got them. While Nebraska is in the midst of an enormous harvest, no reports of a serious labor dearth are heard from any source. Harvest bhands are being pald as high as $3.60 and their board in this state and they seem to be adequate in number to meet the demands. Amusemeonts. At the Boyd.

COLUMBUS POSTOFFICE SITE Senator Millard Hears Delegati Support of a Proposed Change. ‘The people of Columbus have outgrown their present postoffice building and want the postoffice removed to a larger and more convenient bullding.

A delegation consisting ot J. H. Galley, Garret Hulst, C. 8. Easton, C. H. Sheldon, W. A. McAllister and J. G. Reeder arrived yesterday morning and held & conference with the senator. This delega- tion represents what is known as the Gray site. The delegation .claims the Gray site is the center of the town. A delegation advocating what is known as the Eccles site will confer with the senator today. It is claimed by this delegation that the Becles site is the exact center of the city.

School districts Nos. 14 and 24 and fractional district No. 2, down near Waterloo, aspire to take the initiative in Nebraska in the movement to centralize educational forc but there may be difi- culties in the way and County Superin- tendent B. J. Bodwell and Deputy State Buperintendent J. L. McBrien of Lincoln went there last night to remain over today for conference with the freeholders. The difficulty is that such consolidation at this time would mean a loss of money to the districts attempting it. From fines and licenses Douglas county gets this half year $1,001.85 and from the state $45,280.13. Of this total of $46,200.97 three-fourths is divided per capita’ or at 85 cents for every child, glving Omaha $25,697.57 and the smallest fractional district $7.67. This division would not be affected by the new plan, but the other division would be, for the remaining one-fourth of the total of $46,000 fs divided equally among the sixty districts, except that fractional districts receive only one-half the $192.87 that the tull districts do. The plan advocated at Waterloo Is to consolidate districts 14 and 24 and frac- tional district No. 2 into one district, but, if this is done, instead of drawing, in addi- tion to the per capita allowance, $482.19 each half year, they would draw only $192.87, or the part credited to one dis- trict. This loss of about $500 per year s something that Superintendent Bodwell be- lleves the Waterloo directors are mot anti- clpating and he goes to expl it. Plan Has Official Favor. “I am, however, heartlly in favor of the consolidation of Nebraska districts when the law can be properly revised to permit it,” he says. “Several counties in the cen- tral portion of lowa have tried it with good results and in Indiana and Ohfo it is quite prevalent. Buperintendent Fowler of this state is an ardent advocate of the plan and it is certain to be arranged for, somer or later. Its advantages are apparent when we think of how impossiblé it is to srrange anything like thorough course with only one teacher to instryct in all the studles and perhaps only one pupll In some of the numerous classes. By ocentralizing interests better grading could be done, and eventually there would be financlal ving to the counties, evem though it'would be necessary to provide tacilities for transporting the scholars to and from the school houses In such in- stances as when their homes are at the edge of the district and farthest from the school house, In consolidating the Water- loo districts as proposed, for instance, the remotest pupll would be about four mil from the bullding should the latter be placed in the ceuter of the consolidated dis- triet.” Gets $100,000 a Year Because he has & keen, clear braln o & vigorous body.
