Dairy Group Seeks Partial Oleo Tax Policy Change
National Co operative Milk Producers federation urged Congress to keep some taxes on oleomargarine while repealing the import duty on foreign oleo. Secretary Charles W Holman proposed preserving a 10 cent per pound tax on colored oleo, reducing federal taxes for wholesalers retailers and manufacturers to one dollar yearly, and removing only the quarter cent per pound tax on uncolored oleo. He testified against a House plan to repeal all federal taxes on the butter substitute. President John Brandt warned the repeal would aid one industry at the expense of another and that uncolored oleo could vanish from markets as colored oleo dominates.
