'After three weeks of the operation' of the
law increasing the tax on colored oleo
margarine and levying a tax on renovated
and process butter the creamery managers
prof en to aee little material benefit from
those provisions. The price of creamery
tiutter la about 1 cent a pound higher In
the marknti than It was tola time laet rear,
ut thla condition la attributed to the
shortage of the creamery product rather
than to the new law. One reason for thla
condition la that the commissioner of In
ternal revenue, made a ruling several
gnontha ago that the colored oleomargarine
manufactured before July 1 would not be
(taxed at the higher rate and manufacturera
ietored many thousande of pounda prevloua
o that date.
In some of the cltlea the dealers in un
colored oleomargarine have; adopted a plan
(for providing their customers with mehus
cf coloring the product after It Ja pur
ehaaed for conaumption. Small capsulea
of butter color are prepared .and printed
'direction for Incorporating the color with
the oleomargarine are aupplled by the man
ufacturers. When application la made for
toleomargarlne to a dealer the customer la
asked whether he wanta It "with or with
out a capsule." If he deetres to color the
itiutter substitute before it la placed on the
'table the capsule and directions are given
'to blm. According to some dlrectiona It la
necessary to place the oleomargarine in a
lhurn with a UUle milk In which the color
la dissolved. The mass la then churned and
worked and creamery butter finds its way
ito the table, where only oleomargarine baa
Ifceen purchased.
Few Licenses Taken Oat.
Sealers In the butter substitute and the
process butter have not been active In tak
ing out llcensea at the office of the col
lector of Internal revenue. There have
keen six manufacturera of process butter
apply 1 for permission to make the article,
each paying a tax of $50. The wholesale
and fleteil dealers In this product are not
taxed.) The law prescribes that the whole
stale dealers shall keep a--record of aalea
xnade to retailer, but aa no tax Is levied
upon either of the parties to the aale, the
commissioner of Internal revenue has sus
pended the operation of that provision of
the law.
Three wholesale dealers In uncolored
bleonmrgarlne have paid the tax of $200
levied upon them, but none has sbowa any
desire to handle In a wholesale way .any
of the colored product, which carrlea with
It a tax of $480. One retail dealer In col
ored oleomargarine has been found In the
district who has paid the tax of $48. Tn
Omaha . there are about thirty-five retail
dealers in uncolored oleomargarine who
bave paid the annual tax of 6. 1
There are no manufacturers of oleomar
garine In the state, the Nebraska law,
paaeed several years ago, having resulted
la a suspension of operations In South

PEOPLE IN EARNEST ABOUT PERMANENCY
Hop to Maintain Their Independeneo
and ire lelna: United State
as n Model for Their
Admin Istrntlon.
A. W. Gumaer of St. Paul, Minn., who
during the occupancy of Cuba by the forces
of the United Statea was deputy collector
of customs and deputy Immigration in-
pector at Havana, Is In the city on bis way
borne from the Island. Mr. Gumear re
mained In charge of the port at Havana
until June 10, giving instructions to ths
native officials after the flag cam down In
May, and sailed from Havana July 6.
Speaking of condition on ths Island he
said:
"Tbe gravest thing which confronts tbe
new government is tbe question of financea.
It looka rather qulxotlo 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 are
modeling their laws upon thoae of ths
United Statea, 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
Statea lawa governing customs and 'immi
gration were gradually enforced with slight
modlflcatlona. After May 20 these law
were not only continued, but a radical Chi
nese exclusion law was passed. This law
Is even more strlot with reference to the
return of Chinese denltens of the Island
who have returned to their native land than
tbe laws of the United States, and there
are several important Chinese merchants
now In Hong Kong who wltT have trouble
in returning to Havana.
Money the Main Qaeetlen.
'With all of their efforts the question of
raising funds 'to pay tbe expenses of gov.
ernment is difficult of solution. The
budget for the current year Is approxl
mately $22,000,000, while ths best the
United States officials could do in a year
waa to raise $18,000,000 from the ordinary
sources. In this extremity soma of the
members of the Cuban congress are looking
toward tbe establishment of a national lot
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 wero
sufficient to make up th deficiency In the
budget, but President Palma may not con
sent to the operation of tbe gam of chance.
He has lived In the United Statea for thirty
years and has become Americanised in tbe
best sense of tbe word. A short time after
the Cuban government waa established prl
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 tbe dally customs receipts
at the port of Havana. This continued for
several weeks until President Palma
learned of it and he Issued an order for
bidding th publication of the dally re'
celpts, thus putting the private lotteries
out of business for th time being.
Americans In Island.
"The customs receipts have fallen off
considerably sine ths new government
took charge of tbe island, due In no small
measure to tbe removal of United Statea
officials who contributed largely through
their personal demands for American goods
to ths Imports of the Island. At ths pres
ent time there Is only one fores of Amer
leans in tbe island and. that la under tbe
control of Mr. Stelnhart, who waa ehlef
clerk under Oeneral Wood. He is preserv
lng the records of the Insular government
ot the American forces and is giving to ths
present government copies of all paper
that are desired. It 1 impossible to say
how long this force of clerks will bs con
tlnued, but probably for a year or more.'

PENNSYLVANIA AND SANTA FE
Another Combination Railroad
th East to tho
West.
Th report that the Pennsylvania rail
road I to take over the Santa Fe has been
revived and wa in circulation among local
railroad men yesterday morning.
"I understand that thla report comes
from very reliable sources," said an official
of a Chicago-Omaha line, "and for my part
I am inclined to believe ther Is consid
erable in It. Tou see that would give th
Pennsylvania a mighty thorough rout from
the Atlantie to tha Pacific, forming a pow
erful link between the two oceans and
traversing tbe greateat part ot the United
Statea, or, you might aay, taking their
connections Into consideration, traversing
the whol of th United States."
The effect of such a combination or rail
road purchase on the Union Paclflo was
alio discussed In this connection. A Union
Paclflo 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 waa
positive it would not, could not detract
from tha buatness ot the latter, as he
claimed no combination of roada could give
aa direct a route aa th Union Pacific.
The eastern connection of the Union Pa
clflo and the most common routing Is msde
with th Northwestern and tbe New Tork
Central, both VanderMlt roads. This ar
rangement la considered mora satisfactory
by tha Union Pacific in which the Vander
bllts of eourss hold stock, than If that
road owned its own track east, for It is
claimed it la In better position to make
routing over other llnea whenever neces
sary, for Instance, its Kansas City travel
through St. Louts.
One common feature of tho Pennsylvania
and Santa Fa is that no dominant factor,
such aa a Hill, a Harrtman, a Morgan or a
VanderMlt, controls either road. Its stock
is scattered over a wld expanse of terri
tory. Th Santa Fe is said to be owned
largely by New England parties, whll vast
amounts ot th Pennsylvania are held
abroad.
"It 1 not at all lmprobabl that many
of th stockholders tn one of these roads ts
financially Interested In tbe other," said an
official. "Probably there is a closer rela
tion already between them than Is gen
erally known or believed. I don't know as
to that, however."
Gerritt Fort, assistant general passenger
agent of the Union Paclflo, has returned
front an official trip to St. Louts and otber
points south. Mr. Fort says there is a
decided scarcity of labor in the southern
states and that large cotton growers are
alarmed over the prospects ot getting their
crops, which ar unusually heavy, gathered.
Similar reports of A dearth of laborers
were received from 'tho northwest, which
suffered extensively last' year from thle
cause. The wheat crop there Is abundant
and men ars said to be so scarce that It la
necessary to resort to th most ingenious
plans to get them. '
Whll Nebraska is in ths midst of an
enormous harvest, no reports of a serious
labor dearth are heard from any source.
Harvest bands ar being paid aa high as
$3.60 and their board In this state and they
aeem to be adequate in number to meet the
demands. ,.

SCHOOL DISTRICT AFFAIRS
Desire toOaMolidata Zringi Up a Question
in Finnc.
DIVISION OF SCHOOL FUNDS IS INVOLVED
Official Fnwr Centralising? 'Work
and Will Try to Work Oat a
Solution of the Problem
Presented.
Bchool districts No. 14 and 14 and
fractional district No. 1, down near
Waterloo, aaptre to take the initiative In
Nebraska In ths movement to centralise
educational forcea, but there may be diffi
culties In the way and County Superin
tendent E. J. Bodwell and Deputy State
Superintendent J. L. McBrlen of Lincoln
went there last night to remain over today
for conference with the freeholders.
Ths difficulty is that auch consolidation
at this time would mean a loss of money
to the districts attempting It. From fines
and licenses Douglaa county geta thla half
year 11,001.85 and from the state $45,289.12.
Ot thla total of $46,20.t7 three-fourtba la
divided per capita' or at (5 cents for
every child, giving Omaha $25.697. 5T and
the smallest fractional district $7.67. This
division would not bs affected by the new
plan, but the other division would be, for
the remaining one-fourth of the total of
$46,000 is divided equally among the alxty
dlatricta, except that fractional diatrlcta
receive only one-halt the $192.(7 that Ui
full districts do.
The plan advocated at Waterloo la to
consolidate diatrlcta 14 and 24 and frac
tional district No. 2 into one district, but,
if this Is done, instead ot drawing, in addi
tion to the per .capita allowance, $482.1$
each half year, tbey would draw only
$12.$7, or tbe part credited to one dis
trict. Tbls loss ot about $506 per year ts

something that Superintendent Bodwell be
lieves the Waterloo directors ars not anti
cipating and he goes to explain it.
Plan Has Official Fnver.
"I am, however, heartily In favor of the
consolidation of Nebraska diatrlcta when
the law can be properly revlaed to permit
it," he says. : "Several counties in the cen
tral portion of Iowa have tried it with good
results and in Indiana and Ohio it is quite
prevalent. Superintendent 'Fowler of this
stats is an ardent advocate of the plan and
it . Is certain to bs arranged for,
soner or later. Ita advantages are
apparent when ' we think of how
Impossible It is to arrange anything like a
thorough cours with only on teacher to
Instruct tn all th studies and peVhapa only
one pupil In some' of the numeroua classes.
By centralizing Interests better grading
could be don, and eventually there would
b financial saving to th counties, even
though it ' would b necessary to provide
facilities for transporting tb scholars to
and from ths school houses In such in
stances aa whan their homes ars at ths
edgs of tbe district and farthest from th
chool house. In consolidating the Water
loo districts as proposed, for instance, the
remotest pupil would be about four miles
from ths building should ths latter be
placed in the center of tbe consolidated dis
