Simmons began to speak, and he - had " announced his intention to -no-one. " I le V'p'oke without a scrap of . paper; in . tight: His voice, tilled ..the .Senate chamr 'ber andThe was free - and easy in -his manner. Th empty seats on the Demo . rraric ide socn- filled up -after"'" the North - L'aroltnhm hegan Senator-Proctor, who Is in-charge of the bill, came over from the Republican" side and took-a. seat immediately in Ifront-of Senator Sim- . mons. Senator Spooner .was also one of his . closest " listeners.. Congressman W. W. Kitchin was in the Senate .and all- tier-members of the State delegation came ovgTircm the House except Con--gfessman Blackburn." who was absent at the time. Senator Pritchard moved up ' close to the speaker. The- feature of Senator Simmons' eoeech that made ?uch a strong impre- pfon was his sharp criticism of the sys tem of destroying a home product by tariff taxation, a.- contemplated in the oleomargarine bill. The principle was ? assailed in a powerful argument that : made a profound impression. " At the outset Senator Simmons said he was satisfied that oleomargarine was. a . heajthful and nutrition article of food, and he believed that the manufacturers of oleomargarine had' a legal right to color the article provide! the coloring matter, was not deleterious to the 'health 'of the consumer..'" I Senator Simmons scored a victory in hisattack on the advocates of the bill for failure to place renovated . butter on the same plfjne . with oleomargarine and - include it in the provisions of the bill. . He said he intended to demand a roll rk r Coll Wllcii iuc niucnuuiciu ujl iiic otrmux II 4;, senator from "Kansas should be called. Tnjs proviaea ior tne same ui on reno ; la vated butter as on oleomargarine. "The Ill - t -9 1. K. . rnterestjs mat nave xougnt oleomargarine " are behind the efforts of those who seek " to prevent the control and regulation of - renovated butter. The people who pro : tect the country against" oleomargarine ought to protect the people of the coun try against renovated butter.' The injustice of this discrimination was so. clearly presented that Senator Proctor said he would accept the amend ment of the Senator from Kansas. 1 Senator Sfmmons argued against the . principle of taxing this product of in dustry the - protection of one industry nt the expense of another. He, spoke " in defense of the cotton seed oil indns 9 try which, he declared, would ,te injured bv the tax on oleomargarine.- 'Senator" Harris of Kansas wanted to know if cotton seed oil was not masque- v rading as olive oil. He saW it was almost .impossible to get . pure olive oil : In this ' city. Senator .Simmon? saict he did not kno.w that cotton seed oil was masquerading for other oils, aril that if such a pracrice prevailed in a$ illegiti- : mate manner he did not aptrove it, l a miestion-in my mind,' 1 Senatnr Simmons declared, "whether narnmrflte an internal tariff ve wm system, gov e ra zeed oil .using the taxing power of the anient at tne expense or couou and stocK growing muusinw I'he cot- : ton seed-oil men have protested "hi iesislation.

Senator Harris -tad not lost irack of olive oil. and he wanted to know s o what extent the use of cotton sd oil SC03ES DECIDED HIT J affects olive. oil Senator Simmons .hay jokingly admitted that the olive oil in dustry was ; one that had not interested him. - ' 1 . - " Mr. Mitchell of Oregon here got in an interrogation; about the Chicago stock markets, "which; Senator Simmons an swered. , - ' ' ; Still another question came from Sen ator Proctor. , , , . , ' 'Senator Simmons recalled thefcfact also that representatives of the labf, unions had come here in ormo'sition ,tlthe.bilL k Uutthe greatest class .interesjvdjs. the consumer, so' the.

" I will ad- mlt tha-r prosperity prevails "to a large extent in the countrj, but to" no extent noes tne - cotton farmer share in this prosperity. ; The farmer finds "a .ready sale for his butter at this door, but the joorer classes . are not always able to ii!?e the -butter. They have-to buy oleo margarine which is sold cheaper." , This .is not only "class legislation, Sen ator Simmons declared, but class legisla tion of the most; dangerous kind, "We have used the taxing power to "protect home made -articles from foreign made goods. But this m the first time in the history of this country that it is proposed to tax one home product and indnstry at the expense of another. - Where, are we going to-stop when we once inaugu rate this system? - Where .-to"H it end' A-bill habeea introduced in the House to , hra nd ' shmllv S!h cotton.

If we keep up this internal tar iff taxation we will have at home a sys tem like that we apply, to foreign mar kets.
