'J pn, the ballot, in November will bo a measure proposing to ppiae a- tax of ten cents a pound on all oleomargarine sold yjzx in this state, and require the payment of a five dollar license feflt by all persons or firms who distribute or sell it. ; The voters pamphlet carries no arguments in support of the measure; but the Anti-food, Tax league presents several aifcumcnls against it. Of course, the purpose of the bill is to eliminate oleomargarine as a competitor of buttert and thtts stimulate the dairy industry which has been suffering from low, prices lately. Everyone admits that dairying is one of the most import ant agricultural industries of the state, and that the strength ening of the market for dairy products would be of great benefit to the farmers. But oleomargarine tax is wise and just in principles. The Anti-food Tax league insists that "it is wrong and uniust to tax foods." and noints out that the federal trovern- ment already oollects a license fee of six dollars a year from those who soil oleomargarine, the pui-pose of this fee being oiilyto provide revenue for enforcement of the federal pure food. laws. . Whether the tax is just or not, there is room for doubt of the claim that it would strengthen, the butter market. A great many people use margarine only becauso it is cheaper than. butter; but if a tax should increase the price of margar ine more than fifty per cent (which the proposed tax would do) it is'vepjvlikoly.ithnt nia'n Jajnillcs, instead, of 'buying butter, would do!, without both' of these products. In that qftSo the tax would bo working a hardship on one class with out producng much benefit for the other. Another objection to the oleo tax is raised by the cattle . ranchors of central Oregon. Most kinds of oleomargarine contain animal fats, and the cattlemen say that putting a ,tax on margarine would have the effect of injuring the nuir Kot for meat products in order to. boost the market for dairy ; products. r Moat people understand that oleomargarine, though guar anteed to bo pure and wholesome, does not contain as much nutriment as butter. They know that its principal ingre dients are animal fats and cocoanut oil fat. Yet they are .willing to use it if by so doing they can save money., Hardly anyono would prefer to use margarine instead of butter if price Wore, not a factor, but pocketbooks frequently dictate to preferences. ! Those who are able to do so should support our dairy in dustry generously by making greater use of milk,, cream, butter, and other dairy products in their kitchens and on their tables. But voters should think twice before imposing a fifty per cent tax on an article of food used three times a day in hundreds of homes which cannot afford anything bottcr. .. As general economic conditions improve, the dairy indus try will work itself out of the present difficulties, along with scores of other hard-hit industries, for when people can afford to use butter they will use it. WHY l'KACE AlthmiRli the great majority beyond a doubt, want noacp, men and women really believo wars; and the chief reason, poi'hiips, is the fact that those Who want peace have only tho foggiest notion how to keep it. A realistic little footnote to Iho peace-or-war problem' was furnished not long ano when a delegation of pacifists called on Norman Thomas, tho Socialist candidate for the presi dency. To the surprise of the delegation, Mr. Thomas ex pressed himself as follows: "I am fed up with these peace societies that think vou can wish peace on the world . . . Peace is no panacea. Men will have to shift their interests from, spots like Manchuria and the 1 (ihsh Corridor before they can have real peace." It is precisely that point which inco lovers usually over look; and it is for that reason that their well-intentioned and praiseworthy efforts have so little real effects. Wo tend to an assumption that wars como becauso states men aro stupid and depraved, and forget that the real reason usually is the fact that vast masses of people very deeply kiimi, uiiiikk which iney can gel only by lighting. ' The Japanese, for instance, are not in' Manchuria because tney are inherently pugnacious. They ni-e there becauso thev 1 !!reJ10?V,mcc? ,hllt 1,10 forti, l,laills r Manchuria aro vitallV ! heeded for the continued well-being of the Japanese people.
