Roquefort Wins
In Contest Over
Name Of Cheese

PARIS, Dec. ga great argu-
ment has been just settled by a
court in the department of Alvey
ron, France.
Aveyron is where Roquefort cheese
comes from. This cheese is made
in the neighborhood of the town of
Rodez and is then taken to the
other end of the department and
placed in the salt caves of Rogue
fort, the little village which gives
its name to the cheese.
Only in these caves can Roquefort
cheese obtain its proper flavor, its
delicate texture.
Recently the company which owns
the Roquefort caves declined to ac-
cept for ageing some cheese on the
ground that it was not proper Rogue
fort, having been made from cows
milk. Genuine Roquefort, it was ex-
planned, can only be made from
ewes milk
The dairy protested, whereupon
the Roquefort company retailiated by
bringing suit to restrain the dairy
from calling it's cheese Roquefort.
The suit has just been won, with
damages. So now those who delight
in Roquefort cheese are more or less
protected.
One other thing about Roquefort
cheese may be Of interest to eaters
thereof. This is the explosion OF
the widely-current belief that the
green spots in the cheese are caused

INDUSTRY TALKS
CODE OF TAXATION
TO i. S. FARMERS
F fundamental Principles Are
Discussed at Washington
Conference,

WASHINGTON. D. c., June II. -
Formulation OF a code of fundamental
principles of taxation has been under
taken in conferences between rep
resentatives Of the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers and conserv-
alive agricultural leaders.
The tentative statement Of these
principles. as announced in the Wash
ington service bulletin of the manu-
facturers' association. includes the re
peal of all present excise taxes and
urges that the form and amount of
taxes should be such as MOI to dis
courage Individual initiative or estab-
lishment of new enterprises. No ref
erence is made to the proposed sales
tax. which Is favored by some man
ufacturing interests as a substitute
for present excise taxes.
Here's the Taxing Code
The tentative statement Of funda
mental principles follows:
a. All cost Of government must be
paid by its citizens and ought not to
exceed the smallest sum necessary to
essential government activities.
%. The Federal Government should
no new sources OF taxa
ton. The fullest cooperation should
be developed between Federal and
