H SHALL WE, TAX OLEO?
'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

heeded for the continued well-being of the Japanese people.
All tho diplomatic notes in the world won't mako them feel
otherwise. !
Similarly this country is objecting to their presence there,'!
not from a high-minded desire to seo even justice done but
because it feels that its ,wn vital interests will suffer V
. Japanese domination of Manchuria bocoiiK's complete l
- . Here wo have n perfect example of tho sort of thing that
menaces world peace. It isn't a situation that can be !
.remedied by soft woixIh. Nothing short of a complete re-i
r -vamping of international relationships will prevent such I
situation from arising. i
