Internal Revenue Report Highlights Revenue Rise and Oleomargarine Law
Commissioner Miller reports total internal revenue receipts for the year at 116.9 million dollars, with cigars, cigarettes, and grain spirits driving growth. The report notes increased tobacco and alcohol taxes, a high collection cost, and a push to tax oleomargarine similarly to other duties. Seizures and enforcement actions rose, and distillery activity shifted toward larger operations. The commissioner urges Congress to broaden taxation to cover all spirits and to refine oleomargarine taxation with stamp systems.
