PROPOSAL TOPLACE
STATE TAX IS MADE
TO help DAIRY FARl'
Oairying Called Mainstay OF
Business and Agriculture
in North Dakota
VALUE IS SECOND TO WHEAT
imposition Would force Sub.
stitute Manufacturers to
Share Government Cost
VALUE IS SECOND TO WHEAT

Proposal to place q state tax on
butter substitutes as q means of sun.
porting the dairy industry in North
Dakota is contained in a statement
issued today by Governor George F.
Shafer.
The governors statement follows.
For mor than 10 years dairying has
been the most prosperous branch of
American agriculture - this because
the price Of dairy products has on the
whole. been profitable. For six years
dairying has been the mainstay Of
both agriculture and business In
North Daokta, providing a steady, ALL
year cash income for our dairy farm
ers, enabling them to pay their gro
Gerry bills from month to month.
THE value of dairy products pro-
duced in this state in 1929 Is estimat-
ed to be owe S51 ,00O. 900. an amount
second only to that derived from the
wheat crop.
Slump Due Ole
I'm the latter part of 1929. prices
on dairy products took q sudden and
sharp slump and have remained at a
low figure since. The cause Of this
slump was not over : production Of
butterfat o. dairy cows, but under
consumption of butter and increased
use of butter substitutes.
On January l. 1880, there was ir
cold storage in the United States a
surplus Of 40. 0 600 pounds Of butter
above that Of a year ago. while in 1923
there was an increase in the use Of
butter substitutes of Sc, OOO, 900 pounds.
This means that cheap butter substi-
tutes. particularly oleomarrarine
made largely from vegetable oils i'm
ported from the Philippines, are driv-
ing our good butter out Of the market.
This condition must not continue.
The product Of home industry should
not be replaced by those made from
foreign imports-cheaper in price, but
inferior in food quality.
Consumption Drive On
THE national dairy council, the va.
rious state dairy departments, agricul-
tural colleges and many other agen-
cies are cooperating in a great cam
paign to increase the consumption Of
butter in the United States by reduce
ing the use Of butter substitutes. It
is in the interest of both agriculture
and business in North Dakota to make
this effort q success. It means serious
damage to us If it fails. Therefor, I
strongly urge all Dur people, farmers
and business men alike, to heartily
support this movement.
Il also suggest that, since the dairy
farmers are heavy taxpayers In North
Dakota while the manufacturers IF
butter substitutes pay no taxes here.
we put a tax on the sale of olemarR-
arine and thus oblige the butter sub
stitute industry to share our coast of
government in return for the profit
which it makes at the expense of the
prosperity Of dairy industry.
