Oleo margarin bill to get Senate right of way this week
The oleomargarine bill will have the Senate right of way this week with Senator Spooner of Wisconsin leading the measure. Wisconsin farmers push the bill as a major issue with opposition in the Senate easing though a key amendment could tax colored butter. The lobby has weakened and passage is expected, despite concerns over a 10 cent per pound tax and potential impacts on dairy and oleo industries.
