REMOVE THE TAX ON BUTTER SUBSTITUTES

Butter prices are extremely high.
Perhaps the butter price Is not very
much ont of line with the cost OF
butter production tho the state food
administration has found 1t necessary
to warn that profiteering in butter
will be severely punished. But butter
Of all kinds is parado1ically both short
and high.
But granting that butter is high and
is so by reason OF production cost why
then should butter substitutes be
forced up by statute? II butter Is at
prices that make it prehibitive to the
poor Of those of light incomes why not
offer them substitutes taxed beyond
reason and held down in distribution
by what is practically criminal code!
Substitutes which have the approva,
Of scientists al excellent and pure
food and of inspectors as sanitary and
cleanly Of manufacture?
Prices and scarcity Of butter and
high prices also OF substitutes are hard
enough to bear in minor cities closest
to production: the conditions are worse
and harder to bear in larger cities.
Why then, In this time Of food con-
servation and high cost OF living
should clearly, healthful butter sub
stitutes be taxed to add to the burdens
of the poor and protect one class of
producers and manufacturers especially
against another?
The Philadelphia Public Ledger de-
clares that "the present statutes which
bind hand and foot the distribution OF
butter substitutes might well be in
comments thus:
At one time in the distant past
there may have ben ground for fore
ing the Manufacturer Of butter sub
stftute to label his product "oleomar-
garine." In going over the records OF
those old days we find charges that
INSCRIPTIONS traders palmed of crude
animal fat products for genuine but
ter There is no need for it today. In
the first place, American manufac-
turers have progressed in their knowl-
edge Of national advertising, and they
need no law to tell them 1t is better
policy to sell a product on its own
merits than on false pretense. In the
second place-and this Is more impor-
tant--a number OF the leading butter
substitutes are not oleomargarine
They are purely vegetable products.
And so we have the very harmful, II
amusing. situation in which the gov
eminent Is using a law, avowedly de-
signed to prevent misbrand ding, to
force misbrand ding.
But this Is not all. There is a special
tax against the trade in butter substi-
tutes which Is having anything but the
effect which the food administration is
striving so hard for in easing up the
food shortage. With one hand the gov
eminent Is trying to make food econ
omical: with another 1t is mailing ont
very valuable form Of food expensive
with no compensating saving, and fol
the protection" Of a branch of the
trade which apparently needs no such
safeguarding If present prices and
reports OF market conditions can bt
relied on.
In the third place. the consumer who
still persists in buying butter substi-
tutes despite these depressing in
fiuences ds faced with the unnecessary
task Of mixing in the coloring matter
which the law forces the manufac-
tuEeT to leave. out and which n sold

with the product In small bottle or
capsule. II Is n fact that virtually all
butter reaching the market Is already
artiflcially colored with the same
harmless dyes which the substitute
manufacturer furnishes. There Is no
legal restriction on this, and the con-
sumner may allow herself three guesses
as Ia why 1t Is legal to color butter
and ILLEGAL TO color butter substitutes
The present would appear to be the
correct time for the food administra-
ton to take action to end this injustice

ice around the 65-cent mark"
"a little exercise warns the body as
well as a shovel OF coal" suggests the
Burlington Gazette.
"Tf the kaiser has such profound
contempt for the fighting qualities OF
American soldiers, why does he not
lead a German assault against them =
inquiries the Sioux City Journal.
The Keokuk Gate City defines q
conscientious objector as "a man with
so little conscience that he doesn't OBJ

fighting for him."
