INFLAMMATION FAILS
Red Milk, Green Oleo Have Bad Taste;
Trade Walls Bounce Back at States
BY EARL COMPTON

released by Western Newspaper Union,
CHICAGO. - Tearing down
~ "spite fences" to reunite
AZ Jealous Balkan kingdoms"
into the United States is the Job
facing federal and state Off
Gals.
Needing a nationwide pro-
test from farmers, consum-
ers and business men, Off
Gals are liquidating a vast
system of state trade barriers
and cutting miles of legislative red
tape, which hens in commerce.
For trade barrier legislation is al
most universally recognized as a Sc
rious blockade on the road to re-
covery.
Rhode Island adopted a law re-
curing that out-of-state milk be col
ored red; Wisconsin ruled that oleo-
margarine must be colored green;
California assessed a $500 license
fee on imports of foreign" beer;
Georgia empowered her agricultur-
al commissioner to embargo any
farm products when Georgia has
plenty at home.
They've All Boomeranged.
These are but a few samples of
the hundreds of state trade barrier
laws that ''boost Uncle SANS food
bill by hundreds of millions of dol
lars annually, lower returns on bust
ness investments and throttle the
channels for distribution of farm
crops" a national survey shows.
All were adopted to help local pro-
ducers-and all have had a BOOM
erang effect.
When California raised a quaran-
tine against Florida's citrus fruit,
Florida replied with a virtual en-
barge against the west coast state.
New York excluded Connecticut
ice cream, and Connecticut replied
in kind. Indiana and Michigan
waged bitter trade war over beer.
No state has been neutral in the
depression-born battle to protect
home industries" against outside
competition. Now, however, the
trend toward what Gov. Lloyd c.
Stark of Missouri calls "Balkaniza-
ton" seems to have come to halt,
and observers see growing move
ment toward lowering the barriers.
Latest evidence is a national sur
vey of one of the more widely prev
alent types of barrier" legislation,
chain store taxes. Although more
than 60 bills aimed at chain stores
were introduced in "a state legisla-
lures this year, mot one new state
was added to the anti-chain roster"
the survey shows. In three states
anti-chain taxes were outlawed by
the courts in the last six months and
a growing movement for repeal of
existing anti-chain store legislation
is under way, the study showed.
OF Is states which have tried these
Glacier County chief., 1939-11-03

taxes, only 20 now have them on the
statute books, the survey showed.
Opposition by farm, labor and con-
sumner groups was climaxed re-
Gently by resolution adopted by a
conference of the Council of State
Governments, which said in part:
"Any law that is punitive to any
store or other legitimate distribu-
tional agency of agricultural prod
ucts is a harmful trade barrier, det-
rimental to both the producer and
consumer"
The abrupt about-face in the trend
of chain store taxes parallels the
trend of other discriminatory state
laws. Only two states added new
barrier laws this year and dozens of
similar bills were rejected.
States Establish Customs Barriers.
Among the most harmful of the
barrier measures, advocates of free
trade among states believe, are
those affecting automobiles and
trucks. Fifteen states now have Of
