Wisconsin Lawmakers Push Tax on Oleomargarine Substitutes
Wisconsin representatives Gardner Withrow and George Schneider continue efforts to tax oleomargarine. Withrow backs a 6 cent per pound tax on uncolored substitutes and 10 cents on colored, aiming to fund revenue while protecting farmers. Schneider condemns government use of oleomargarine and seeks a ban on funds for its purchase. Both seek inclusion of tax provisions in a broader revenue bill before the Ways and Means Committee.
