FIFTY MILLIONS INCREASE.
Reports Reaching Auditor Moore's
office Show Satisfactory Results.

Richmond, Va, July 3.-Not less
than fifty millions OF dollars increase
in personal property values are indi-
catsd by reports coming to the office
of the Auditor of Public Accounts.
This means an increase in the reve-
nues Of the State OF not less than
$4,000 for the current year.
1t means an increase of not less
than half a million in the revenues of
100 counties and 81 cities Of the
State.
Last year the total revenues Of the
State aggregaed $GG1 ,410.49, and
the addition Of about $4,000 means
THAI the State will receive total Of
close on to SG,S50,000 this year.
Auditor Moore, figuring on the re-
ports in at this time, thinks there
are indications of about 25 per cent.
increase in personal property values.
Last year the total returned was IN
rounl figures, $194 100000 Add fifty
millions and the state will have a
total of something like $250,000,000
for taxation. A so per cent. valuation
would give the state not less than
S35O,000,000 personal values.
Reports Of the Commissioners of
the Revenue for the year 1913 are be-
ginning to come to the Auditor OF
Public Accounts, showing the results
of the asscsscnts for tangible and
intangible property in the state.
Incidentally the work done by Au-
ditor Moore, in his letters Of instruc-
ton to officers, has borne fruit in
many instances, though in some there
has been q falling off from last year.
These letters are insignificant, how
ever and do not affect the rich and
prosperous sections, as will be seen
when the full report is ready for sub
mission to the officers and to The
General Assembly.
Sometime ago it will be recalled,
Judge A. A. Campbell. who succeeded
Judge Thornton l.. Massie, Of Rad
ford. called the commissioners Of the
revenue to him in every court in his
circuit and had talk with them. He
was then reported 10 have told the
officers that they had taken oath to
do their duty. He told them that
their work hereafter would be scruti-
nized bv the court. and when it be-
came apparent that the officers had
neglected sighted or failed in any
way to discharge their sworn duty,
he would have the books examined
by the special grand jury to be call
ed for that purpase.
The lecture to the commissioners
had q salutary effect. The officers
knew that Judge Campbell meant
just exactly what he said, and they
needed his admonition. This year
they have paid attention to business.
There are increases in every county
in Judge Campbell's circuit so far,
and the books are not all in.

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain in
results and safer in opera
tion-as we'll as reasonable
liz cost.
In every family, a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two-is highly advisable
from every standpoint, IN
Guiding that Of economy.
