oLEoMAReARINE LEGISLATION.

There is the same bitter contest be-
tween the butter and oeomargarine
interests concerning the sale Of the
latter product when dishonesty car
ried on 1t has been recognized that
oleomargarine has a legitimate field
when scid for what it is, and recog-
milton of this was made by the reduc-
ton Of the tax from two to one quar-
ter cent per pound, while the counter
felt goods, eolored so as to be taken
for butter. had the tax raised from two
to ten cents a pound. How much
alike butter and oleomargarine is,
was demonstrated here only a few
months ago, when many. were buying
the latter at slightly lower prices and
considering it the best butter" they
ever had.
When the OleOmargarine people sug-
gest that their product be sold only
in small packages bearing a revenue
stamp the butter interests with good
reason maintain that such does not
prevent the fraudulent sale of the
goods. 1t is no bar against dishonesty
and does not safeguard the restaurant,
boarding house or hotel patrons. Once
out Of the package it takes an expert
to tell the difference when coloring
has been used Legislation has been
an important contest between the in
terests but none should be entered in
to for the wilful fooling of the pub
lie. 1t is better to prohibit counter
feiting than to permit it and then make
laws alleged to compel the honest sale
of the counterfeit.
