Th measure aft acta turpentine and roaln eapeclally: x WhUe th .advocates are fighting to hav the Taljaferro-Sparkman . bill enacted Into law at this session, the opponents are not only attempting to defeat such action by this Congress, but to kill th ntlr proposition, for an time. In the argument that have been presented to th respective commit tees of th Senate and House, H has been .said that th FeJeral InspecUon of turpentine and roaln is required to eve the Industry, and to protect th consumer from frauds that cannot be, or are not, prevented hysuch State in spection as extsu Both hill war Introduced by Florl da man and th argument for the bill have been presented largely by person living In Florida. It is there fore oharged by the opposition that th flaht la largely one Between tne States of Florida and Georgia. Probably- th most effective argu ment so far advanced by the advo cates of th bill ia that Federal In- epectiftn alone can save th lnduatry. Th Stat Inspection In Florida and Georria. th only two State that hav authorized inspection, is denounced as ineffective,, It Is argued that even If a Stat law was effective In preventing adultera tion of turpentine and th grading up of roaln while within th State, th possibilities of fraud while- the product are in interstate transporta tion, due to the fact that II per cent. I consumed beyond the South, ar such that relief must be sought Beside th fraud laid to be prac ticed, it Is urged that under existing conditions the American Naval Store Company, with headquarter at Sa vannah, Qa., controls) the marketand therefor that Independent producersTtor for this purpose. It was judged are being driven out of th field. Hope Is entertained, the advocate said, that a Federal inspection would make th fight between th company and th Independent mor equal. The opponents of the bill reply that the cry of "trust" is made merely to strike a blow at Savannah, because under the -proposed law,' the Florida product that Is now sent to the port of Savannah, would be sent to Florida ports, because it would thus avoid be coming subject to Interstate com' merce laws and regulations. It is also contended that the law would be such a burden on the indus try that th small producer would be driven out of business and a monopoly created. Th charge I mad also that the bill Is designed to strengthen th Republican party In th South by the creation of an army of Federal Inspector. The bill will fall far short of preventing "grading up" and adul teration, it is said, because there is nothing to prevent these frauds after the shipments cease, to be article In Interstate commerce.' With various charges and counter charge,, the situation Is becoming mor and mora-complicated, and It is doubtful if any action will be taken by Congress at this session. BRJJEFS.
