Washington. I). (.'.. March 22.
Special Ti Irg rain ) - The ruling of
( umnii'-.sii'iKr 'illian:s of the in
ternal revenue bureau with respect
to luitter ni.Kie from neutralised
cream will stand, in the judgment of
Pant Iri Myers, assistant coinniis
sinner, unless abrogated hv the new
ciMiiniissionrr before Mav 1. the date
the order is now scheduled to go
into effect
This ruling seeks to identify as
"adulterated' butter churned from
sour cream, which lias been neutral
ized through the use of litnewater
or other alkaline substance before
churning. If this new ruling holds
as to the act of Mav ', 1('0 it
means that practically all creamery
butter will be labeled "adulterated"
and be subject to a tax of Id cents
a pound, with the further conditions
that it can be sold mi 10-ponnd
packages ami through licensed deal
ers. Storm of Protest.
I'onuer Attorney General Palmer's
opinion in reply to a question of
Cominiiomr Williams as to what
constitutes adulterated butter, when
given tlii'Uigh the- press dispatches,
raises a storm of protest from butter
makers and farmers' organizations
throughout the entire country. More
than UK) representatives of creamer
ies entered their protest with the
1 commissioner in a special hearing
held February 25, when a mass of
cfidence was submitted to show that
the ruliutf was not within the intent
of congress, but as a matter of fact in
direct opposition to the purposes of
the net. J hey pointed out that such
a tax would be a body-blow to the
tanner in that sour cream, now paid
for at high prices I) v. creameries,
would no longer be acceptable since
such cream manufactured into but
ter would he branded "adulterated"
and suhpect to a 10 per cent tax.
It appears that the mass of evi
dence produced at the February
bearing has bee:-, unavailing, al
though the time set tor the ruling
to go into effect has been extended
to May. according to Assistant Com
missioner Myers in a letter to Con
gressman JelTcris. whe desired to
know the status of the case.
Commissioners Williams has tend
ered his resignation, but will retain"
bis offices until his successor is ap
pointed and qualities.
In administration circles it is
thought a successor to Mr. Williams
has been agreed upon, whqsc name
may be announced after the cabinet
meeting tomorrow.

tax. and from state, municipal and
local taxes everywhere.
"Coming at a time when income
and other taxes were pressifTg heivi
! on taxpayers, the decision attract
ed wide attention amongst investors.
One of the interesting points is
that the court met the question
squarely and held that the Federal
Land bank system was created, no:
under the power to appropriate mon
ey or any other special clause of the
constitution, but as the court said,
'Since the decision of the great cases
of McCulloch against Maryland, 4
Wheaton 316, and Osborn against
Bank, 9 Wheaton 738, it is no longer
an open question that congress may
establish banks for national pur
poses.' Within Congress Jurisdiction.
The court added, 'We. therefore,
conclude that the creation of these
banks and the grant of authority to
them to act for the government as
depositaries of public moneys and
purchasers of government bonds
brings them within the creative pow
er of congress, although they may
be intended, in connection with other
privileges and duties, to facilitate the
making of loans upon farm security
at low rates of interest. This does
not destroy the validity of these
enactments any more than the gen
eral banking powers destroyed the
authority of congress to create the
United States bank, or the authority
given to national banks to carry on
additional activities destroyed the au
thority of congress to create those
institutions.'
