VIRGINIA TAX SYSTEM
ASSAILED BY c. OF C..
Lacks Cooperation, Supervision,
Standardization and Equipment,
Says Report.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, May 15.-One of
the most serious defects in the pres
ent system of taxation in Virginia
is the utter lack of cooperation, su-
pervision, Standardization or equip
ment by the commissioners of rev.
enue throughout Virginia. This is
one of the conclusions of the COM
mittee on taxation of the Virginia
State Chamber of Commerce, in The
third nstallment of its report on the
present tax system in Virginia. The
report declares the commissioners of
revenue are scattered over the State
without rhyme or reason
The committee reports that one
city commissioner of the revenue col
lected 81 $40, 900 in Il year; that "a
commissioner in Arlington County
collected $50, 900 in State taxes in the
same period; but that it took six com
missioners to collect S44 400 in Shen-
andoah County. and that it took
four in Spotsylvania County to col
lect only 300. The present hap,
hazard system in force, which allows
one county to assess only SO per cent
of it's sheep, another only % per cent
of it's hogs and a third only 50 per
cent of its cattle, is condemned.

Mouie Queens Often Fail
To Get Roles They Desire

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 26 -
One of the greatest problems with
which motion picture directors have
to contend is casting for suitable
parts the feminine stars of film
dom. Many of the actresses have
beauty and personality adaptable to
many roles, while others film we'll
only in certain parts. The direc-
tors problem is made the more diff
ficult because OF the desire Of the
majority of the actresses to enact
roles contrary, in the directors op-
inion, to their personalities. Some.
times it becomes necessary to use
compulsion to select the players
needed.
A director noted these requests
for parts contrary to those he had
selected:
One actress wanted to play the
part Of girl intattered garments.

the heroine of romantic poverty.
Her assignment necessitated Ii or
more changes OF elaborate apparel.
A second who desired the role OF
vampire was cast in the part of
an amiable wife, while one who as
pired to be a sweet housewife char
acter acted the part of fascinat-
ing and beautifully gowned heroine.
One who had visions of making
masculine hearts flutter became an
unsophisticated flapper. while a star
whose aim was the farm girls role.
with all the simple calico features,
received vampire assignment.
Perhaps the greatest disappoint-
ment of all was suffered by a young
actress who desired to be screened
as dashing heroine of thrill
epic. Instead, she took care OF
baby and darned her husbands
socks.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Every
day the United States government
is spending at least $4,000 for the
upkeep of the huge forces engaged
in enforcing prohibition. For the
present fiscal year which ends June
80, the cost of prohibition forces,
exclusive of the sums spent on new
ships and equipment, will amount to
$25, 100000
These figures, obtained from the
treasury. merely show the cost of
upkeep of men and ships directly
engaged in prohibition work, and
give an idea of the tremendous
drain on the treasury caused by the
Volstead law.
Mounts Yearly
Officials estimate that the total
cost of prohibition, since it was first
put into effect, has reached hun
dreds of millions of dollars. The
cost has been mounting year by
year, until during the next fiscal
year the daily cost of prohibition
enforcement will probably reach
$4,000
For the present year Congress ap
propriated $11,000,000 for the use
of the prohibition unit, and $4,000
900 for the upkeep of the coast
guards dry fleet. In addition the
coast guard received $l2,500,000 for
