Idaho Industry Would Benefit by Excise Tax
Washington and Boise reports say a five cents a pound excise tax on coconut and sesame oil would raise 10 to 50 million dollars annually to aid dairying and cottonseed industries. The House Ways and Means Committee approved the measure 16 to 5, applying to Philippine imports and copra oil. Idaho dairy officials note butter production in state totals 29.5 million pounds yearly with 20 million shipped out, while a state five cent tax has reduced butter sales at home.
