Oregon's population of 3,548,000 was 1.98 of the census bureau's 1937 estimate of 129.744.400 for the coun try, but the Internal revenue bureau reminded the public that "receipts In various states do not Indicate the tax burden of the respective states, since the taxes may be eventually borne by persons In other states." 5.3 Per Cent Drop The Oregon collections were 6.3 per cent less than the 62.981,773 collected In the state In the fiscal year ended June 30. 1938. Thirteen states and Alaska regis tered Increases over fiscal 1938, rang ing from one-tenth of one per cent In South Dakota to 19.7 per cent In Florida. Others In which Increases In total collections were reported were Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, Tennessee, North Dakota, Maine and Colorado.

The internal revenue bureau re ported these collections In Oregon by type of tax, with the percentage of change In fiscal 1939 from fiscal 1938; corporation Income (1938) M, 881.840, (1939) S2.205.906 (down 15.1); Individual Income (1938) s3.623.512.
