Remove Tax

We hope to have the 10 cent tax removed from oleomargerine." said MT. Ashchaft. "rhe butter made from cot ton seed oil, with 20 per cent of anil maj fat added, is of such superior quality as to make it in great demand. 1t is fine butter indeed, and it Is the only butter that the family of moder- ate means can afford to use. Congress- man Hefin, as member of the sub committee handling the tax repeal proposition, is strongly on our side. MT. Underwood, as chairman of tho ways and means committee, will have an im- portant voice, of course, in this ques- ton. l have sent him telegram set ting forth the situation and I trust he will see his way clear to take our side"

Mir Ashcrafts slogan is 'One dollar cotton seed.''
 Just now the cotton seed crushers are making a strong effort to have the internal revenue tax taken off of oleomargarine. which is now made largely of cotton seed oil. This ques- tion is pending before Congress and Is being considered by subcommittee of the committee on agriculture. Mir. Ieflin is 6 member of the subcommit- tea
