Virginians Not Satisfied With Meth
DDS Of Tax Valuations.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, November 4.-"My
own idea Is that when the state tax
commission meets here next week 1t will,
find that a majority Of the members are
In favor Of establishing an equalization
board for the state, the board to con-
sist of seven members. none of whom
shall receive any pay for their services
save and except the secretary OF the
board.
This was the statement Of a well known
state official today. when he was asked
what he thought the commission would
report to the general assembly as pro-
here and adopt the report which 1t will
assembly convenes. and II Is believed
that the recommendations will be agreed
to by the legislature.
There have been many conjectureS -
to what the commission will report, but
this is the first statement which has come
from that body with any degree Of au-
thoritativeness. The idea is to have the
commission receive the lists OF the COM
missfoners OF the revenue. assessing the
real and personal property. and to make
the values correspond with some degree
OF fairness. The discrepancies along this
line have been glaring and unfair-horses
ranging from $50 to $50. cattle from 81
to $27 q head. watches 65 cents to $50. and
other inequalities too numerous to men
ton. The commission will see to It that
these values are given some semblance
Of equality when assessed for taxes.

TAFT TAKES A REST
President Spends Day Of Real
Leisure at Hot Springs.

HOT SPRINGS. Va, November 4.-For
the first time In more than seven weeks
President Taft had real taste Of leisure
today. Not q stroke OF official business
was done by the President during the
day. He rested from breakfast time
until dark except for a long golf game in
the morning. There was quiet luncheon
at the Taft cottage and he made a visit
to friends in the afternoon. Mrs Taft
was again his gallery" during the morn
ing golf play. The Presidents game
showed bit of Improvement
Secretary Hilles did not bring data for
gress to Hot Springs today. but is ex-
pected to arrive with the information be-
fore tomorrow night. Mr.. Taft will leave
then for Cincinnati. Mrs. Taft, Miss
Helen Taft and Mrs. Thomas NJ. Laughiin
OF Pittsburgh. a sister of Mrs. Taft. will
accompany him when he goes home to
vote.
No Thought Of Harlan's Successor.
The President let 1t be known today
that he had given but little thought
to q successor to the late Supreme
Court Justice Harlan. Reports that
MIR. Taft had gone so far as to narrow
the field Of possible selections down to
four men were denied to callers at the
Taft cottage. The President named at
least score Of men prominent in pub
lie life who would be considered when
he returns to Washington.
Among the score are Solicitor Gem
eral Frederick w. Lehman. United
States Circuit Judge Hook OF Omaha,
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel Justices Swayze and
Gummere of the New Jersey state su.
preme court, Chief Justice Carter Of
Illinois and United States Circuit
Judge Burlington OF Pittsburgh. as
well as several United States district
judges and few well known law
yers.
The third. fourth and seventh Judi
ctal districts now are not represented
on the Supreme Court bench, and Mr..
Taft intends TO bear this In mind
when he selects a successor to the late
Associate Justice Harlan.
