of
Announcement of the beginning of
a two months' drive to collect delin
quent Income taxes was made yester
day by Milton A. Miller, collector of
internal revenue, who said the cam
paign would start today and be vlg
orously pushed by all internal reve
nue officers.
"In this, as in every section of the
country," he said, "there have been
reports of laxity on the part of deal
ers and other persons responsible for
the return and collection of the so
called luxury tax. soft-drink tax. ad
mission tax, manufacturers' tax. the
tax on jewelry and works of art and
the tax on toilet articles an', proprie
tary medicines. We expe-,f to collect
millions of dollars in delinquent taxes
within the next two months. A large
force of revenue officers will be put
in the field and we hope to meet
with the greatest success. :
"Information coming to our depart
mcnt from the sales tax unit indi
cates that many dealers in soft drinks
and Ice cream either are keeping no
record of the amount of tax collec
tions from sales, or that their record
is Insufficient or incorrect. We will
direct special effort to the collection
of this tax as well as the levy on
toilet articles and proprietary medi
cines.- It is estimated that the gov
ernment is losing several millions o
dollars annually through the failure
of retailers to collect 1 cent for each
25 cents or fraction thereof of the
amount for which toilet articles and
proprietary medicines are sold. The
levy, of course, is collected by means
of stamps ranging from 1 to 40 cents,
which the government provides shall
be affixed by the dealer to the arti
cle. The stamp should then be can
celed.
internal revenue officials have no
Intention of causing embarrassmen
to merchants and business men wh
comply with the law. said Mr. Miller,
but a thorough and effective cam
paign win be waged on willful vio
lators of Internal revenue provisions.

OREGON'S GRAIN
PRODUCTION
The quality, and great yield per acre of Oregon's
grain crop are of utmost importance to the further
development of this state. Oregon's grains have,
upon repeated occasions, been awarded high recog
nition at both National and International Expositions.
Statistics, compiled by the United States Depart
nemt of Agriculture, prove conclusively that yields
of grain ,per acre in Oregon are far in excess of the
per acre production of similar crops in other great
agricultural states. The following averages over a
ten-year period indicate this fact graphically:
Bushels Per Acre

life fe&feI
T --z yS; "-Sill
Ml. h:.
Wheat Oats Barley
Minnesota 13.0 31.7 25.7
Indiana 14.2 29.0 25.4
Missouri 13.4 23.4 21-9
Kansas 14.0 24.4 19.8
No. Dakota.... 12.1 29.7 23.0
So. Dakota 12.1 31.6 25.3
OREGON 19.5 30.0 32.2
Natural causes, mostly, effect this super-production
of grain crops in Oregon. Probably the most
important are the ideal climatic conditions which are
coming to be recognized as one of this state's great
est assets. . Cool nights cause a very heavy stool
from the parent plant, running as high as eighteen
and twenty shoots to the plant; while on the other
hand, the warm days and continued sunshine pre
cipitate a very heavy heading out.
The recent growth in wheat, our most valuable
grain, is shown in the following comparative
statement:
1914 1919
Wheat..' 16,604,000 bu. 20,400,000 bu.
Oats... 12,740,000 bu. ' 9,993,690 bu.
, , Barley.. 3,660,000 bu. 1,880,150 bu.
Corn 660,000 bu. 1,875.000 bu.
The decrease shown in the production of oats and
barley is accounted for by the fact.that greater acre
' age was ' put " into' wheat to meet the enormous
demand for wheat-flour during the Great War.
The total valuation of Oregon's grain crop last
year was ' $105,510,000 an increase of $30,000,000
, over the year preceding and an increase of $60,000,000
over the valuation of the grain crop five years ago.
This enormous increase, in the value of
Oregon grain production is another indica
tion of the possibilities "For a Greater
