SYLVIAN MICHEL, AHTHL'K MICHEL. t - r " Who Benefits By High Prices? You feci that retail meat prices are too high. Your retailer says he has to pay higher prices to the packers. Swift & Company prove . that out of every dollar the retailer pays to the packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers' profit, 13 cents is for operating expenses, and 85 cents goes to the stock raiser; and that the prices of live stock and meat move up , and down together. The live-stock raiser points to rising costs of raising live stock. Labor reminds us that higher wages must go hand in hand with the new cost of living. No one, apparently, is responsible. No one, apparently, is benefited by higher prices and higher income. We are all living on a high priced scale. One trouble i, that the number of dollars has multiplied faster than the quan tity of goods, so that each dollar buys less than formerly. ; Swift & Company, U. S. A.

NEW GOVERNOR 19 WELL KNOWN IN CENTRAL OREGON SEVERE PENALTIES IF YOU DELAY BEYOND MARCH 15 With tha du data for Income Taxes only a few weeks away, tha collectlou of this far-reaching tax on 1818 In come , haa started off with a bang. Everybody la figuring Income tax. Payment and sworn statement of Income must reach Internal Revenue offices on or before March 15, and there are severe penalties for delinquency. Residents of Oregon are required to make their returns and pay their taxes to Milton A. Miller, Collector of Inter nal Revenue, Portland, Ore., or to any of bis deputy collectors who are now doing free advisory work on Income Tax. "Psy your Income Tax by March 15," la the slogan of the Internal Rev enue Bureau, which ha sent every available officer Into the field to help the public to understand the require ments and to prepare the returns. Who Must Make Return. It Is estimated that many thousand of single and married persons In this section of the Unted Statea who have never before made annual returns are required to do so this year. Income tax -returns mum be made between now snd March 15 by persons who come under the following classifi cations: Any unmarried person whose 1918 net Income was $1,000 or over. Wid ows and widowers, divorcees and mar ried persons who sre living apart from their husbands or wives, are for the purjxiges of the Income Tax classed as unmarried. Any married person living with wife or hnxhand whose 1918 net Income was $2,000 or over. The Income of both husband and wife must be considered, tocet her 'with the earnings of minor children. If any. Revenue Bureau Offers Aid. Each person In the United States who Is In either of these classifications must get busy st once If penalties are to be avoided. He should secure a blank Form 1040 A for reporting net Income up to $5.00J, or Form 1040 If hla net income exceeded thnt amount Forms are being distributed by Collec tora and their Deputies, also by banks. By following the Instructions on the forms a correct return can be prepared at home. If a person needs advice or aid, the Deputy Collectors In the field will furnish this without charge.

Mere guesses are not accepted, for they are unjust alike to the taxpayer and the Government and defeat the proper ad ministration of the law. Ben W. Olcott, who by the death known In Central Oregon.
