Entered at the postoffice at Bonham, Texas, as second
class mail matter.
If Congress wants to do anything toward
reducing the high cost of living, it cannot go
about it better, as the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
points out, than by removing the present
“prohibitive, unjust and undemocratic” tax
on oleomargarine. It is wrong, that paper
points out, “because it is a tax on the poor
man’s butter, increasing the cost of living for
those who can ill afford such increase; be-
cause it is a tax on food, and because it is in-
tended to keep the price of butter higher than
it ought to be, and is in the interest of the ma-
nipulators and conspirators and against the
interests .of the people, particularly the poorer
classes.”—Beaumont Enterprise.,
The tax on oleomargarine is the rankest ex-
ample of corrupt class legislation within the pub-
lic’s ken

PREPARE FOR THE STORM
The United States has now the greatest accu-
mulation of gold ever known. It is producing more
steel and iron than it ever produced before. The
surplus of exports over imports is greater by mil-
lions of dollars than of any previous records. The
domestic trade is greater, the tax of transporta-
tion heavier, the cry for labor louder, the passion
to spend money higher, the boasting of money
anti display of it less blushing than at any time
before in the nation’s career.
It is the inevitable sequel of flush times that
hard times follow upon their heels. As prosperity
has been most striking, inflation most pronounced,
the reaction, as a rule, has been worst. The elder
men remember 1895. Younger men can recall
1907. The fall has been measurable by the heights
of which confidence has soared, the lengths to
which industry and commerce have extended their
undertakings.
Since no one is prepared to dispute history
and since everyone is willing to admit that de-
pression follows inflation in the nature of things,
it ought to be possible for the country to prepare
itself against the breaking up of the present good
times. It ought to insure itself against business
disaster just its surely as the wise man insures
his family against his death. We can cushion the
fall, lighten reaction. By a gradual drawing
in of lines that have been extended beyond com-
mon business judgment, the smothering of the
temptation to unnecessary spending, tW practice
of individual economy and thrift, the passing of
protective laws and the closer guarding of the
money stocks, the gale can be weathered. It is
only everyday good sense which directs our get-
ting ready now for storms and high water.

The tax is not only a subterfuge, but a
dishonesty. Its purpose is not to raise revenue,
the only legitimate excuse for any sort of tax, but
rather to discourage one industry for the benefit
of another of no greater merit. The oleomarga-
rine tax is frankly a subsidy and special favor to

By discriminating against
butter’s chief competitor, the Government seeks
to add ten cents a pound to the selling price of
butter. If the Government were to boost the price
of pie by slapping a prohibitive tax on cakes it
would commit a less heinous crime against its cit-
izens. There are fairly good substitutes for both
pies and cakes, but there is no real substitute for
butter except oleomargarine.
