these acts should be apprehended and Wig

that the next legislature should pass n

q arge a Bile to Congressional
Cussedness

The Journal of the American
Medical Association contains a
lengthy editorial urging the re-
peal OF the tax on oleomargarin.
1t says that the fats that are used
as substitutes for butter are di-
gestible and wholesome and that
they reach the market in excellent
sanitary condition. 1t refers to
the restrictions placed on the sale
OF these products and says:
In spite of all the restrictions
placed on the sale of oleomarga-
rim, the statistics Of its manufac-
ture show an increased demand
for the product during the past
year, represented by an output of
nearly 235, 100000 pounds. Is it
not high time to ask whether in
difference to the needs of the gen
eral public shall continue to be
maintained by a special class? If
the legitimate substitutes for but
ter were allowed to come into the
general use for which they are
qualified, not.only would reduc-
ton of living expenses become
possible thereby, but also the
price of milk and cream ought to
be decreased below the rapidly
approaching prohibitive point.
Oleomargarin unless it is color
ed has not palatable appearance.
The same is true of most butter.
The government imposes a tax of
ten cents a pound on oleomarga-
rim that is colored, but no objec-
ton is made to coloring butter
nor is any tax imposed on it. This
discrimination is not made in the
interest of the people but of the
butter producers. 1t is imposed |
for no other purpose than to ena-
bic them to add ten cents per
pound to their charges. 1t is de-
signed to rob the people Of ten
cents pound on butter in the in
terest Of the dairymen and that is
just what it does.
Now that butter has scared to
such high price, carrying milk
along with it, it seems strange
that congress will not consider the
interests of the people as a whole
instead of the interests of one
class that is practicing extortion
Efforts have been made to change
or reduce this tax on oleomarga-
rim but they have failed.
To the extent that oleomarga-
rim is used the producers pay this
tax and get it back out of the peo-
pie, for they add the amount of
The tax to the price they charge.
TO the extent that butter is used
It comes directly out of the peck t
Its of the people and does not 90 !

Keep Your Liberty Bonds

1t is generally accepted as un.
patriotic for one who has pur,
chaStd Liberty Bonds to resell
them during the time the war is
in progress, unless the holder
finds himself or herself in an al.
most impossible to = contemplate
situation. Even then, it would
appear unnecessary to relinquish
ownership since such security will
command almost its face value in
the form of loan at practically
every bank.
Keep your Liberty Bonds.
Much has been said about the
duty of buying Government
Bonds-and not enough as to the
benefits enjoyed by holding them.
Never before has the public at
large had access to such a safe
convenient and profitable method
l0t employing savings.
Liberty Bonds are the safest
purchase in the market today.
They are based upon the best Sc
curity the world can afford and
backed by the entire reserve of
this great nation of ours.
Keep Liberty Bonds as "nest
eggs" to encourage greater thrift
and saving.
Keep Liberty Bonds as a finan-
cial reserve until maturity.
Keep Liberty Bonds for the div
idends they produce.
Keep Liberty Bonds as insur-
ance against unforsten misfor-
tune or adversely.
Keep Liberty Bonds as an evil
dence of your loyalty today-also
to your posterity of your patriotic
cooperation with the brave boys
who crossed the seas to fight for
American liberty-of your recog-
milton of the rights of mankind
of your dependable help in time
Of need.
Keep your Liberty Bonds.
1t is quite natural and to be ex-
pected that wildcat schemers

seek a new field for their activi-
ties among the millions of thrifty
people who have subscribed to
the Government War. Binds.
Already in many parts of the
country beautiful descriptions of
the get-rich-quick variety are be-
