Butter Substitute Tax Debate Reflects Dairy vs Oleomargarine
A 1919 congressional proposal would tax colored oleomargarine to close the price gap with dairy butter, provoking dairy industry fears of higher prices and a collapse of butter demand while manufacturers tout lower living costs. The column questions the rationale, arguing substitution rules may be enough to regulate the market without new taxes. It also notes egg storage trends in 1919, linking abundant storage to higher prices and critiquing cold storage abuse as a potential path to federal control.
