Senator Penrose plans tax on oleomargarine makers in Washington
In Washington Senator Penrose introduces a bill to amend the oleomargarine law. The measure imposes a $600 annual tax on manufacturers and $200 on wholesale dealers for uncolored oleomargarine, with retailers charged $6. Reports from abroad say Whitelaw Reid may stay two more years as ambassador to Great Britain. Post office officials estimate rural carriers collect 300 million one cent stamps yearly for postage, a practice to end after February 16. The bureau of statistics reports 1909 shows reduced export values for most key farm products except cotton. Representative Garner of Pennsylvania files a bill to repeal the cattle duty for meat, signaling more proposed similar measures.
