As I have above remarked, these subordinate offices are seldom or never
inspected, and abuses of all sorts liave undoubtedly crept in.
Bevenue. The revenue (or maliat) registers are issued from Tehran to
the Governors of provinces for collection.
The revenue is actually collected by the Deputy Governors and paid into '
the Governor, who, after paying (?) the military forces and other Government
expenditure, remits the balance to the Imperial Treasury (administered by the
customs). After the payment of the political pensions, the balance is sent to
Tehran.
The revenues collected during the last year are as follows:—
Kermanshah

Kangavar

The revenues'of Burujird amounted to krans 334,000, and those of Khore-
mabad to krans 457,400. I have not been able to ascertain those of Hamadaa.
There is no doubt that the revenues are most unfairly assessed, some
villages being very heavily taxed, white some others have never even been
brought on to the registers,—the owners paying a bribe to the Governor, and
the latter not reporting the existence of the village to the Central Government.
This fraud is very common in Kurdistan, the province being more out of the
way than Kermanshah.
The following is a list of the chief tribes in the Kermanshah province-
