Millionaire incomes show tax rise and regional disparity
The St Louis Post-Dispatch notes a 45 percent rise in corporate tax receipts and 66 percent in individual taxes, with 911 filers earning 250000 or more and 120 reporting 1000000 or more. It questions why wealth concentrates unevenly in states like New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Delaware as overall tax collection improves.

Blame the Hens and the Cows for Egg Prices
A Helena Independent summary of a Washington bureau of markets report shows eggs in cold storage fell from 3,984,543 cases on November 1 to 2,103,869 on December 1, with western states revealing mixed changes. Butter stocks dropped from 71,848,767 to 56,627,236 pounds, while cheese had 5,000,000 pounds less than a year ago, yet Montana area stores remained higher. The piece argues price rises stem from supply controls and urges reduced consumption to balance demand.
