BUTTER JIA8 GONE SUV HIGH
Rutter Is said to he selling at
about fifty cents n pound In New
Vork, forty live or fifty In Chicago
and as high In Valdosta aa It la In
New York. The rise In prices Is duo
to several things, but It la probable
that the beef trust or the batter
trust la having more to do with it
then anything elan. Raporta Indicate
that there ere Just aa many cowl
In the country ae erer before, they
ere giving juat is much milk and
are (being milked just ee regularly.
Tbe supply of butter la greater than
ever before, end It would be fair to
eay that tbe demand for It fa also
great
The Increased demand end tbe
Increased ability of the people to
buy butter enables tbe trust to
ralae tbe price to suit Itself. The
butter Btipply la put In tbe cold
storage warehouse and held there
while the price la raised. This wae
the method used to ralae the price
of beef, egs and other products of
that kind two or three years ago.
When the congress of the United
States put the ben upon oleomar-
gerlno and other vegetable products
It gave the dairymen and tbe beet
truata a club to uee over the heads
of the consumer. Tbo argument
wea advanced by tbe dairyman in
the North and Wait that the oleo
margarine waa putting them out of
bualneaa,, so congress proceeded Im
mediately to put tbo eleomargerlno
makers out of business by putting n
prohibitive tax upon thalr products.
The, argument wea made that
oleomargarlns was not buttsr, which
wan vary true. It might also be ar
gued that cottolena le not lard,
though many of tbe housekeeper!
wbo use It prefer It to lard. Tho
feet that most of tbe users and even
the experts could not toll tbo differ
ence between the high clean of oleo
margarine end butter shows that
the difference waa not very great.
WBht congress ought to do Is to
taka off tbo ux on oleomargarine
and let It go Into the markets again.
If it were a Northern product, In
stead of a product of the South, oom-
gress would never have Imposed! a
tax upon It to begin with. If the
dairy business were conAned to the
South Instead of the north and a
substitute (for butter could be made
from.* a Northern ■ product, congrcaa
would probably put a bounty upon

MADKIIO'8 TROUBLES.
Visitors to Mexico declare that
President Madero te having troubles
about aa burdensome ae tbose which
old Diet laid down when he em-
braked from that country a few
months ago. Madero haa not been
able to bring about pence and good
feeling among the Mexicans. In
fact, the revolution there did not
go to Its logical end. Revolution*
mint usually last until one or the
other elde feels fully whipped. They
have to be fought to n Anleb.
In Mexico, old Dlax stpped down
"nave tho country” before hi*
resources of defense were exhauat-
Neltber aide was aatlsffed. Hie
friends did not like the Idea of "lay
ing down," while probably Madero'a
friends are road because Madero
end the new administration feels ob
ligated to many of Dlaa'a followers
and because these men ere "recog
nised" in thejiew government. Add
ed to that, tbe treasury of tbe na
tion la about depleted. There to no
money to carry on the work which
must be done.
Tbe seeds of revolution are Still
bearing fruit and tbe hlaxe which
wan kindled la still burning briskly.
Quarreling, lighting and acta of law
lessness have become epidemic and
It looks aa If It wilt have to go on
na long as there Is material to feed
upon. Reconstruction In Mexico Is
going to be hard because the result
of tbo war was not decisive and be
cause tbe party which bappdns to
be on top la not atrong enough to
do wbat needs to he done.
The country le rich In resource
and Mexico ought to be prosperous,
but the people, na n whole, have
