made to induce 80 men from each of

ing and returning late that night. Rev.

TAX VALUES IN ILLINOIS
NOW TOTAL $375.OOO,OOO

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-The state
board of equalization is expected to
practically bring its deliberations Is
an end today or tomorrow. The pre-
Iiminary returns delivered to State
Auditor James ]. Brady indicate that
the assessment rolls will be increased
s45.000,000 over 1913, which year
showed a gain of $80,O0O,00 over
1912, so that the present board will
have added $125,O00,000 to the assess,
ment rolls, representing a full value
of $375, 100000.
The assessment for 1914 discloses
an increase in the assessment of capi-
tai stock of corporations over 1913,
which year was increased over 1912
Railroads show an increase of $9, ,000,-
600 over 1913, and almost s1s,o00,000
over 1912. gain of 81 per cent Thus
there has been added to the. assess
ment rolls full value of $50, 500, 900,
for railroads in the two years tenure
of the present board
The board has appointed a commit
tee to appear before the next legis-
lature to urge an additional appropria-
tion that will enable 1t to continue its
investigations throughout the year and
to check up the local assessors, who in
many parts of the state show an utter
disregard of almost every provision of
the revenue laws relating to assess
ments.
