Two Counties Only Have Made No Official Return-Democrats
 Still Confident.

San Francisco, Nov. 1S.-With the vote of every county of the state eX cept Los Angeles and Humboldt of ficially canvassed, Roosevelt led Will son this morning by a margin of 99 The totals were: Roosevelt, 283, ,465 Wilson, 2S3,S66.
 Seemingly, the final outcome hinges on the result in Los Angeles county where the official canvass has been halted by court procedure. This is a Progressive stronghold, but Democrat ic leaders persist in their claim that Wilson has carried the state.
 The present Progressive state plu rality is made up by adding together county by county, the vote received in each county by the Progressive elect or who ran highest therein.

 TON ON TARIFF.
GOES TO BERMUDA TO REST
With Wife and Daughters, Win Pass Month Resting-Announce- ment Was Not Unex-
 pected.

New York, Nov. 1S.-Gov. Woodrow Wilson, president-elect of the United States, caused general surprise in the business and political world when he announced he would call an extra ses sion of congress to convene not later than April 15, for the purpose of re vising the tariff.
 The announcement was made on the eve of the governors departure foI Bermuda, where, with Mrs. Wilson his daughters and newspaper core spondents, he will pass a month rest Ing. The announcement as to his at titude regarding an extra session was not expected until his return from his holiday.
 Gov. Wilson required only two sen tences to announce his decision. He said:
 'l shall call congress together in extraordinary session not later than April 15. l shall do this not only be cause think that the pledges of the party ought to be redeemed as promptly as possible, but, also, be cause l know it to be in the interes, or business that all uncertainty should be removed as soon as possi ble as to what particular items of the tariff should be revised"
 It is the governors proposal to limit the extraordinary session to discus sion of the tariff, but it is understood that any question of vital importance contained in the wide scope of "the pledges of the party" may come be fore the session.

EXPERIMENTAL FARM
REPORTS ON PEACHES
Examination at Delaware College Ex-
perimental Farm Shows That the
Peaches Are Damaged to a Very
Great Extent by the Severe Winter
Weather Just Experienced.

The Chronicle is in receipt of a
very interesting table from the Della
ware College Experimental Farm sit
uated at Newark. At this place self
registering thermometers are installed
and showed that at the experimental
places where the peaches are grown
the temperature went as low as IL
degrees below zero. This, as is well
known to all peach growers, is almost
certain death to peach buds. The
article as received from the Expert
mental Station is given below in full:
Newark, Del, March 9th, 1912.
To the Editor
The following article on winter in
jury to the peach crop may be of in-
terest to your readers:
The present winter has been an
unusually severe one upon the peach
buds. The weather conditions dur
ing the Autumn of 1911 were such
as to give rise to conditions in the
peach bud that would render it sus-
ceptible to cold. The long dry sum-
mer season had caused the peach to
form its terminal buds early. Just
as this condition was reached, un-
usually heavy rains occurred and the
peach trees were started into growth
again with the result that many buds
were insuficiently protected by the
bud scales when winter set in.
At the College Farm, the tempera-
ture dropped to minus 8 degrees
Farenheit on the night of January
18th and to minuts l2 degrees on
the following night. Either one of
these temperatures is dangerous to
the life of the peach bud in this
climate.
Examination of the buds of all
of peaches growing on the
College Farm was made early in
March with the following result:

$4,000 SURPLUS
GIVEN. CITY BY
TAX. RAISE
Jump of SEAS, 1903 in Revenues
Exceeds Expectations of
Budget Makers.

Official figures of the city comptrol-
Ter on Atlanta's increase in tax reve-
nue. today show surplus above the
amount appropriated for the year by
council of $5s,59847. The final reports
show the total In the city's taxes to be
the remarkable Increase Of $245.109.
In making up the budget, the finance
committee anticipated an increase of
$751; O3.s6. This was considered by
many to be excessive.
The total revenue from realty and
personal taxes In 1911 was $1,eSs,76S'
The anticipated revenue for 1912 was
s1,sss,e7i.9S. The actual receipts will
reach s1.s2s.5s5.4s
Instead of being short in revenue, as
was predicted by some, there will be
golden nest egg in the city treasury at
the end Of the year. unless council gets
busy and spends 1t before January !.
sIa increase Due to EauaIizino.
The increase is principally due 70 the
agitation for an equalization Of tax as
easements. The total increase In as
easements is $1s,27S,743. The assess
rnents in 1911 were $135,101, 491.s The
assesments for 1912 are $l54,36b,234.
The realty assessments amount TO
Sl07.623S66. The personally assess
nents amount to $4S.741,S6S

was begun two years ago, assessments
have been Increased more than $685.

The increase in the personally and
realty taxes of the public utility corpo-
rations is $11597s2. In 1911 this tax
amounted to S1S0,29b.s6. In 1912 1t is

Taxable VaIuea Trlpled In 10 Years.
Atlanta's, taxable values have tripled
in ten years. In 1902 the total assess
ments we're only $57,369,612
1t is surprising that the street tax
shows a decrease. Every voter. except
those exempt by old age or military
service. must pay street tax. In 1911
the total was s15,655. In 1912 It Is $15,-
GOT. The sanitary tax, $10S,Ss0.49, is an
increase of $4.S60.50
When the finance committee of coun-
ell meets in January 10 make up the
new budget It will take the figures of
this year as basis. The committee
VIII estimate an increase in the revenue
FOR 1918 equal ito the increase OF 1912
over 1911. f 5o.
The real Importance OF the tax flg-
ures is that the finance committee will
estimate that II has approximately
$3.50, 900 more money to spend in 1919
than It was able TO appropriate In 1912.
All the city officials agree that the
tax assessments are still very low, es-
