The genesis Of cur tax on art is not
difficult 80 trace It IS the direct result
Of the failure to dlferentiate between
the achievements Of the artist and the
output of The manufacturer.
Most artists in this country have al
ways been opposed 10 this tax; some,
however, nave favored it. but when these
have been pressed for Q reason they
have answered that the tax prevented
many ignorant Americans from buying
foreign forgeries Of the old masters.
TIE excuse which sets Congress up as
scho0Iussuer in the arts is almost as
monztrous as the TAX. The tax denies 10
ali American artists who are not able to
20 abroad for study the full knowledge
which is their right and which would be
their Inspiration. IT prevents The forma-
rion OF great private collections which
would eventually 90 10 the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art. It therefore limits the
opportunities for the education OF the
public taste.

$4,000 SAWMILL SUIT
IN SUPERIOR COURT.

Michigan Man Secures Attachment
Against Plant in Telfair Company.
One of the largest claim affidavits
filed in the courts in a long time was
filed yesterday in the Superior Court.
1t is an affidavit and claim bond for
$4,000.
The case Is an attachment, in which
George w. Hopkins of Michigan is
attempting to collect an alleged debt
of $4,000 from the Ocmulgee River
Lumber Company The attachment
has been levied on all the sawmill
and planning mill property of the COM
pany in Telfair county,
The defense presented in the claim
affidayit is, on the face of it, a pc
culiar one. The defendant declares
that it is not the Ocmulgee River Lum-
Der Company of Michigan, as alleged,
but that it is Ocmulgee River Lum-
Der Company of New York.
The original attachment bond of
George W. Hopkins is signed by
Charles Marthinson, his agent in
Georgia, who swears that he is worth
at least $4,000. On this point there
seems to be a difference of opinion,
the defendant company alleging that
he is hopelessly insolvent.
The case involves practically the
whole sawmill property in Telfair
county, and when it comes up next
fall will probably attract considerable
attention. The plaintiff in attachment
is represented by Livingston Kenan.
