Wiley Appeals For Retention Of Oleo Taxes
Senator Wiley argues against repealing oleomargarine taxes warning the move could trigger a massive dairy cattle slaughter. He and Rep Poage lead opposing factions in the oleomargarine fight, with Wiley backing a substitute bill that would also bar interstate shipment of yellow oleomargarine. The House bill would require public notice and triangular serving form in places serving oleo. Chairman George expects the Finance Committee to approve the bill unchanged at a closed session next week.
