STATE PURCHASE OF
LAND IS PROTESTED
ALFRED CRIDGE FEARS PLAN
WILL BOOST LAND PRICE
AND BRING TROUBLE
(By Alfred D. Cridge)
Tf thft ' TJnitH Stntea nr tha etntA
of Oregon comes into Clackamas
county to buy , 'steen thousand acres
of logged off lands the main effect
will be to . boost the price of such,
lands in-every part of the state, and
to keeD out of use mnnv times tnnrn
land than the state buys. A few
win be beneiited; the many will be
iniured. The reason the state is
asked to buy land for soldiers is
mat it is ail monopolized, now, and
held at" such high prices that private
individuals . cannot pay the prices
asked and make interest and wages.
To buy land enough for 6000 homes
in the state will start a land bnnm
and make it all the more difficult for
others to secure land.
Building roads will be a temnnrarv
relief to the labor congestion, but
temporary only. ' There is plenty; of
land close to good roads now' in
many Darts of Oreeon. Most of thia
land is unused, There is land enough
in Multnomah county clone held idle
and useless to supply the entire
population of that area, over a
third of the population of tho state,
with necessities and food of all kinds
for which the climate is adapted.
The building of good roads through
the wildernesses and naRt tho half
cultivated areas Will boost land pric
es, and the average citizen will find
it as diincult to secure a home as
ever. The lending of credit by the
state to land users will help some,
but in the end will merely boost the
price of land, and crowd the popu
lation into the cities and towns,-
We intend all right, and we. try
all right, but the indications are'
that while we are looking out to get
the soldier a job and the soldier et-

1918 INCOME TAX
E
COLLECTOR, MILTON A. MILLER,
READY FOR LARGEST TOLL
IN HISTORY
STATEMENT MUST BE FILED
Advice on How to Estimate Income,
What to Exempt, Etc, Given
By Revenue Collector
(By Milton A. Miller)
"The big income tax drive of 1919
is now under way and every prepar
ation is being made to handle the
largest collection in the history of
income tax. 'I am not waiting for
the final passage of the new revenue
bill by Congress," said Collector
Milton A. Miller today, "nor for the
new regulations and blank forms to
be issued. To get this big tax in
and get it accurate and complete, I
urge that we all begin now.'
"The Income Tax obligations impos
ed by the old laws as well as the
measure now in Congress, consist of
two distinct operations. One is, to
file return or statement of all items
of income and items of deductions
allowable by law and to do this
within the period named inithe law.
The other is, to pay the tax if any
is due.
"Neither of these obligations can
be met without a careful review of
income and expenditures for the tax
year. That is the big job . right
now, and that is why I say the In
come Tax Drive is already under
way. Everywhere the pencil is busy.
The old year is done; all its fruits
are gleaned; and every person who
fared well, or earned a good com
petence, must analyze his own case
in cold figures.
"When the new bill is enacted into
law, Lwill have the proper return
forms - distributed throughout the
district and everybody will be in
formed of tho date when the sworn
statement or return must be filed.
It is my plan to send my men-out to'
central locations, and to have them
travel through the district aiding
taxpayers in. the -preparation of the
returns and to deciding doubtful
points. We will go right to the
people with the Income Tax, and
with the cooperation which the pub
lic can give the government men,
the returns will be filed by every
body who comes under the law's pro
visions, the right taxes will be paid,
and the district will have done its
full patriotic duty toward the gov
ernment's support. .
"Meanwhile. lohmASOV ao-nin fUava
. ' o -I -"
is no need delaying the preparation
of -figures. Anything that Congress
does now will not affect the amount
of a person's earnings for 1918. Let
us avoid the belated throwing to
gether of figures that may hit or
miss. Guesses cannot be accepted as
the basis of taxation. It is clearly
the duty of every person to compile
correct figures and ascertain wheth
er his income for 1918 was sufficient
to make necessary a sworn state
ment. "The year 1918 was a banner year
for salaries and wages, and the high
war prices brought unusual profits
to the average small' tradesman and
to the farmer. The opinion in
Washington is that a million eiti-
zens and residents will make this
year their first income tax returns.
"All signs indicate that the income
tax this year will reach nearly
every man and woman, and nearly
every merchant, shop keeper and
farmer. Not all will have to pay
