Senator DOLLIVKK. Von agree with Secretary Wilwon when he 

 says 



Mr. KNIGHT. I agree with the Secretary when he says that some- 

 thing has got to be done. The antie.olor Jaw does not apply to it. 

 because it is already colored by nature. How are you going to do it? 

 We can not make a color distinction. 1 will nay that the dairy inter- 

 are, in favor of any kind of an infernal-revenue law that will reach 

 it. We would be in favor of an anticolor law if the article were not 

 already colored. These gentlemen here are howling about a 10 cent 

 tax. They know that if there was a 10 cent tax put on colon-d butter 

 it would exclude all process butter. 



Mr. MiLij;it. We do not believe in unjust taxation of any kind. 



Mr. SCHKLL. Where is the most of this process butter made ' 



Mr. KNIGHT. There are factories in Philadelphia and in differ* -nt. 

 parts of Pennsylvania; there are one or two in Baltimore, five or six 

 in Chicago, two or three or four in Ohio, a few in Michigan, one, or two 

 in Iowa, one in Minnesota, some in Nebraska, and some in Kansas. 



Mr. MILLER, is it not a fact that most of it is made in Klgin, 111.! 



Mr. KNIGHT. No; there is only one factory there. It has developed 

 there a great deal in the last few years because the whole process has 

 developed in that time. 



Mr. MILLEE. I know that Weaver & Barber, of Chicago, scour our 

 country. 



Senator DOLLIVEK. I suppose thai the general product.. 

 ery butter has left the average poor farmer without, any market. 



Mr. KNIGHT. Yes; that is true. That is a fact, i do not put this out 

 as an argument in favor of butter. It is a fact that, the manufacture of 

 process butter has increased the price of the farmers' butter practically
