PRODUCERS
PREPARE FRONT TO
Fight SUBSTITUTES
Object to Palm Oils Use In COL
oring OIeomargarine Like
Butter

washington. Jan. 9.-(R-The 30
wear battle Of the butter industry to
protect itself from the competition Of
more cheaply manufactured substi-
itutes has broken into the open again.
In the office Of David Burnet. COM
missioner of internal revenue. farm
leaders will present arguments Sat-
urday that the bureaus ruling which
permits use of palm oil in oleofnar-
garine be rescinded. The oil imparts
the natural color Of butter but under
the bureaus definition Of artificial
celebration" escapes the federal tax on
colored oleomargarine.
The effect, it is claimed, virtually
has been to nullify all protective leg
islation for the butter produced. Un-'
less the ruling is changed, representa-
tives of the industry say this effect
will necessitate enactment Of q new
law to replace the oleomargarine act
of 1902. Since the ruling was made,
they contend, the price OF butter has
been depressed seven cents q pound.
They say the loss has been passed on
in reduced cream checks for every
dairy farmer, taking toll from the ma
tons biggest farm business.
Made with palm oil, oleomargarine
can be taxed under the bureaus rtl-
ing only one-fourth cent a pound in
stead of the 10 cents a pound tax
provideds for artificially colored but
ter substitutes.
Efforts to keep the price Of oleo-
margarine more nearly in line with
the price Of butter were initiated in
the law Of 1886 which required q tax
Of 2 cents q pound. It permitted
ole~omargarine to be colored yellow.
In 1902, congress amended the law,
increasing the tax on artificially col
ored oleomargarine to 10 cents a pound
and placing a tax of one-fourth cent
a pound On uncolored.
Then q new process for refining
palm oil was developed, q natural in
gredient defeating entirely the pur-
pose of the oleomargarine law, it was
claimed.
Thus, with all the old competition
reinstated, butter producers started
the investigation Of the law which led
to the hearing before Commissioner
Burnet.
Shipments Of oleomargarine and
butter substitutes in this country in
1929 represented an increase of Sc
per cent in quantity compared with
the year before. with a value of more
than $780, 900 900.
AS farm leaders see the situation.
only the production Of oleomargarine
has beaten prices down. Storage
stocks Of butter are less than a year
ago, consumption has increased, and
the output is barely normal.
