Margarine
<Continued From First Page.1 |
■- i
will add a fillip to the tax repeal!
drive. Representative Anderson, j
California Republican, who heads
the subcommittee, is expected to of
fer at tomorrow’s meeting a sub- j
stitute but similar measure for
that of the two original sponsors,
Mr. Rivers and Representative
Mitchell, Republican, of Indiana.
The Rivers bill—the one which
will come to the House floor to
morrow—^would end all Federal
taxes and license fees. At present,
there is a 10-cent a pound tax on
colored margarine and a quarter
cent tax on the uncolored variety.1
Federal license fees are $600 for
manufacturers of either type, $480!
for wholesalers of colored margarine |
and $200 for white, $48 for retailers
of colored and $6 for white.
Compromises Expected.
Several comprimise measures are
expected to be offered on the House
floor, both by members who signed
the discharge petition and by oppo
nents of any tax repeal.
Most likely of adoption, if the!
complete repealer does not carry, I
is one expected to be offered by
Representative Corbett, Republican
of Pennsylvania, to set the tax on I
all types of margarine at a quarter
cent a pound. The Corbett bill also
would, in effect, levy a tariff of 10
cents a pound of imported cocoa
nut oil by putting a 10 cent tax on
margarine made of other than do
mestic oils.
Chief domestic oils now used in
margarine come from cottonseed
and soybeans.
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Rivers said
yesterday, however, they will fight
for complete tax repeal and hope
to win it.
Fate of the tax repeal measure
in the Senate, if it passes the House
this week, is uncertain. Backers are
hopeful, however, that the recent
indorsement by Senator Taft, Re
publican, of Ohio will guarantee the j
measure’s reaching the Senate floor |
for a vote. Barring a filibuster by j
dairy State Senators, they are cer-;
tain they can win a majority vote.
Lobbies Press Battle:
Last night, as a final battle of
the mimeograph machines in butter
and margarine lobby offices w'hirled
to a finish. Mr. Mitchell let loose
a blast at the Cudahy Packing Co.
Cudahy, through its president, F.
W Hoffman, had come out for re
tention of the margarine taxes. Mr.
Mitchell said Mr. Hoffman’s state
ment was not “fooling any one,’
that he is only protecting his in
vestment "in a newly acquired pat
ent which allegedly makes it easier
for Mrs. Housewife to color her mar
garine at home.”
The House member was referring
to the plastic bag container now
used by Cudahy and some other, but
not all, margarine manufacturers.
He said Mr. Hoffman’s action would
not “endear" him to distributors,.
retail grocers or consumers and that j
if he. Mr. Mitchell, were chairman |
of Cudahy's board of directors he
would cali for the president's resig
nation.
Boy; 11, Hanged in Game
Of Cops and Robbers
By the Associated Press
WATSONVILLE, Calif.. April 24.
—A game of “cops and robbers”
ended last night in the accidental
death by hanging of 11-year-old

Merlin was playing with his 7
year-old brother, Vern.
The younger boy said Merlin told
him he would demonstrate how
“bad guys” are hanged. He placed
a sliD knot around his neck, climbed
a tree and fastened the other end
of the rope to a branch. Then his
feet slipped and he fell.
His mother cut him down. He
died in her arms, his neck broken.
