INCOME TAX DATA DUE REVENUES OF 93000 REQUIRE RE PORTS TO COLLECTOR. Even Married Mm Whose Earn lac Do Not Exceed Exemption Are, Under Law, to Flic Statement. All persons in Oregon, married or single, whose net Income is $3000 a year, are subject to the income tax, and must file statements with the local Internal revenue officer, sayb Collector Milton Mitlcr, not later than March 1. j The statements will be filed at Wash- . tnsrton by the local olHce, and officials at the capital will make the assessment on the tax, returning: the figures to the Portland office, which will mail out a statement of taxes to each one subject to payment. AH Income taxes must be paid by June 30 or delinquents will be required to pay a penalty of 50 per cent and Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. i Although marired men are allowed an exemption of $4000 net income, they '. are required to file statements if tfieii '. income reaches $3000. Single men must ; pay a tax on net incomes above $3'i00. The tax Is graduated and increases with the size of the income, starting at 1 ; per cent on these figures. J Statements are coming in at about the same rate as last year, says Col lector Miller. He anticipates rather more prompt payment of the tax this year than last, since most persons sub ject to the law are now more familiar with its provisions than they were last season, when it first went Into effect. He asks that income taxpayers do not wait until the last day to file their statements, but that they report early. CHEAP MILK WARNING OUT City Health Officer Says Public Should Beware of Price Cut. Beware of cheap milk. Such is the warning of City Health Officer Mar cellus issued yesterday, following dis covery of the fact that some dealers are cutting prices. Dr. Marcellus says this cannot be done under present con ditions without the dairyman also cut ting the quality of his milk. It is said that any dealer who re duces the price of his milk is doing one of three things: He is watering his milk or adulterating it in some other way, is discharging help or eliminating sterilization to reduce ex penses or is selling the milk below the actual cost of production. i The warning bulletin issued by Dr., Marcellus reads in part as follows: A serious crisis is facing the city milk Inspection force and the undivided support : of the consumer is needed. Our advice to j the consumer is: If )ou have a good dairy-: man continue with him and do not ask him i to lower the price of milk when the cost of production is incrasing every day with i the price of cow feed, it you do, the in evitable will happen he ill lower the qual- I ltv with the Drlce. i Under the present conditions it is Im possible to put milk on the market at a profit and keep the dirt and filth out of it. The Bureau of Health wishes to serve notice on the dairymen that any adulterated or unwholesome milk found on wagons or shipped Into this city will be dumped into the sewer.
