Congress Passes Grout Oleomargarine Bill With Restrictions
The House approved the Grout oleomargarine bill by a wide margin. It subjects oleomargarine and imitants to state police powers while prohibiting states from banning interstate transport for sale if uncolored to resemble butter. Tax on colored oleomargarine rises to 10 cents per pound, uncolored to 1/4 cent. The measure takes effect July 1, 1901. A memorial tribute to Rep G Harmer was also arranged. A separate bill adds cherries to the list of brandies eligible for distillation.
