Martin holds oleo tax applies to single or split packaging
Madison attorney general John M. Martin ruled that the state oleomargarine tax cannot be evaded by selling two substitute articles separately. Dist. Atty. Raymond P. Dohr asked if two packaged items marketed as Good Luck vegetable shortening and Good Luck vitamin fortifier require a license and 15 cents a pound tax. The opinion notes whether sold in one or two packages the tax applies if used as a butter substitute. merely not advertising as a substitute does not avoid the levy.
