 Butter And Oleomargarine
Were we simply to judge a food according to its nutritive value, not much fault could be found with oleomargarine, for the nutritive value of a good quality is about the same as that of butter.
While I do not disguise my dislike for oleomargarine, I may say that it is principally due to an antipathy for the imitation of a natural substance by an artificial one, which antipathy is common to all normal people.
When, however, the taste and fine aroma of butter are lacking, the most important characteristic of food substances in general is lost, and I, as an advocate of good butter, know that when it does not taste fresh and good I have no appetite for it and use a much smaller quantity.

Oleomargarine, part of the low-fat American diet dedicated to killing off the population as fast as can reasonably be expected, is a loathsome substance crafted by the local chemist as a substitute for butter so that the people would have something to smear on their toast while butter was somehow used in the War Effort.
I don't know when oleomargarine broke butter's strangle hold and got to fake the color of butter or wrap it in quarters or write butter on the carton more times than the carton of real butter.
That is still the highest and best use for oleomargarine; to blithely announce that you can't tell the difference between oleo and butter is rather like having a VCR that blinks on noon in an age where six year old's run 200 MHZ desktop computers.

 WA Employment Security - Mulhausen 22 Wn.2d 811
The retail price of oleomargarine was fixed by appellant and was changed from time to time, as was the agent's commission, which ranged from two and one-half cents to three and one-half cents a pound.
The contention that the oleomargarine representatives of appellant were under his control because the association of each of those representatives with appellant was terminable under the contract at the will of either party, is untenable.
Under the uncontroverted facts, and the law applicable thereto, it is plain that appellant's oleomargarine representatives are independent contractors, hence are not within the purview of the unemployment compensation statute.

That upon oleomargarine which shall be manufactured and sold, or removed for consumption or use, there shall be assessed and collected a tax of two cents per pound, to be paid by the manufacturer thereof;.
As the product was admitted by the answer to be oleomargarine, it follows that it was subject to the tax of ten cents a pound unless, by the proviso, the oleomargarine was of such a character as to entitle it to the benefits of a lower rate of taxation.
This necessarily follows, since the right to enjoy the lower rate of tax is made by the proviso to depend upon whether, as a matter of fact, the oleomargarine was free from artificial coloring matter, and not upon the mere method adopted for imparting the artificial color.
