EDITORIAL
OLEO NOT LEGISLATED AGAINST v
. . The legislature is to be congratulated on having done its
full .duty by the dairymen of the state in the passage of Senate-
Bill which -was initiated by the Oregon-Dairymen's
Association. :
It was. especially, gratifying to find a : number of t new
recruis cast their vote for the measure yesterday men who
had previously been againstj it. ' ' ''
It'should be" remembered that this so called oleo bill is
not a bill to prohibit the manufacture of oleo; It does not
prohibit the sale or eating of oleo. ' ' ; ; 1 t v:jj
It simply prohibits the adulteration of cow's- milk by
substituting cocoanut oil for butterfat in milk to manufac
ture filled milk, a substitute for condensed milk, and to make
xnargerine, a substitute 'fprbutter. . i u -I
"A law i to prohibit the,! manufacture and sale of "filled'
cheese has been on; the statute books fpr years. That law
has protected 'the public,rand has made the dairy business
prosperous in dairy, counties where cheese making is profit
ably as -Tillamook; and )Coos counties. " : '' .
-It is simple justice that manufacturers be, nott permittee!
to use.tlci refused from the dairy cow (skinr;milk) to make
substitutes to sell in competition with it. The milk gives the
substitute, tha . butter, fiavpr and appearance; and makes it
sell.? - '- ' " " - ; ';
This law docs not interfere with the manufacture and
sala of - butter substitutes - thst" do not contain milk 'iris
only within' the-last few years that milk has thus been used.
