Mar2arine shows signs of con-
tinun& in the legislative limelight
with more attempts being made to
emOEe unfair restrictive taxation.
Numerous bills We're introduced
curing the actual wartime era. but
more pressing LEGISLATION prevent
ed them from ever reaching the
floor. Now something NAV be done.
Since 1856 when the first restric-
tive legislation was passed. marga-
rlnc has been the target Tor practi-
cally every type of food tax All in
all, counting Federal and State
taxes, there are more than a hun
dred taxes imposed ON this food
product
While the Federal governments
tax lryies are hi&hly oppressive
including a per pound tax in addi-
ton to license fees for manufactu-
ltrS, wholesalers and retailers
diEidUal states have gone even fur
ter in taxation extremes some to
the point of being ridiculous
For instance. the State Of Wis
Consin levies : distinct taxes on
argarine a per pound tax.
license fee for manufacturers
wholesalers and retailers: a fee on
restaurants and boarding houses
serving margarine and Consum-
tr's license
Recently a housewife from Wis
consin wrote The Best Foods. Inc,
manufacturers Of Nucoa, inquiring
why she could not purchase marga-
rine there. Best Foods replied, cit
ing the numerous tax burdens i'm
posed on mar@arine in that State
and particularly the consumer Ii
ccnse. The housewife answered
that if her state could do such an
unfair act. she was just mad
enough to purchase a consumer Ii
Cense. And she did.
