TAX RAISES MADE BY STATE COMMISSION
 TOTAL $4O,560,0O5
Members of Commission Appeared Before Board of Revenue Yesterday and Announced What They Had Assessed. Citations Sent to All Corporations and In
 dviduals Affected

The state tax commission yesterday for mally announced increases in tax assess ments in Jefferson county aggregating s4o,- 569.9O5. Scores of corporations and indi- viduals are affected, the largest single in- crease being that of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company from s7,s9s, ST to s27.5S7032, an increase of SIS, ,693, ,653.
 The tax valuations of Jenerson county have been increasing for several years past at the rate of about S1o.o00ooo annual y. The tax valuations for 1911 were S113.- o00,00O and yesterdays action causes an upward jump to nearly s154.OoO,0oo.
 The new raises were made entirely by the state tax commission, consisting of J. Lee Long. president; Judge R Y. Evans and John Powell. The board of rev enue has neither voice nor vote in the matter
 The members of the state tax commits sion went before the board of revenue yes- terday morning and made the announce ment of the substantial raises in the tax valuations and said that citations have been made to the persons, firms and cor porations affected by the increased assess ments to appear before them to show cause why the assessments should not be made final.
 The board of revenue has no control over the actions of the state tax com mission, and it will be a matter for the commission itself to decide whether the raises are unduly excessive. Several members of the board of revenue sal,

 sion. also declined to make a statement.
 Long Leaves for Home
 President John Long of the tax com mission left yesterday afternoon for his ht me in Greenville. He said before leav- ins that there might be changes in many of the assessments--that future action wculd depend on the result of the show ings made to the commission by those affected.
 Action Not Unexpected
 The increase in tax rates announced yesterday by the authorized body did not strike Birmingham industrial men and real estate holders with any great sur prise, inasmuch as recent activities here have caused a general discounting of the action taken. However the very marked advances were to a certain degree dis eouraging, it was stated, on account of the very heavy strain that has been un- der gone in this district recently by in- drstrial companies.
 The various leaders requested for onin- ions refrained from commenting publicly because they will have to present their cases before the commission later Sev- eral men who are among those making up the leading spirits of this district said that Birmingham was being taxed heavily and other counties allowed to escape on account of the alleged rich ress of local holdings.
