PAYS TRIBUTE TO
MICHAEL ANGELO
-
Lecturer Declares Noted Italian
Made the Nude in Art
Distinctive

BERKELEY, July 1.-THE world
might have overlooked the artistic
value of art in the nude. had it not been
realized by Michael Angelo" said Fred
Mortimer Clapp, art lecturer at the
summer session, today. DR.. Clapp, who
is to deliver a lecture Monday even
ing on Michael Angelo will uphold
this contention.
Michael Angeles whole interest was
eentered in art in the nude he said.
ITO him belongs the distinction of be-
ing the first artist TO realize that in
the nude figure there exists the great
est means of expressing life through
art"
I'm his lecture in Hearst hall Mon
day evening DR. Ciapp intends to give
quite lengthy dissertation on this SUBJ
ject, as he deems it an important one.
His recent statements in one OF his
lecture courses that clothes are a de-
cided hindrance to art have aroused
comment.
DR.. ciapp will also combat the popu-
lar fallacy that the incompleteness
the master was due to the fact that
he was loaded down with more work
than he could carry out. The lecturer
will endeavor to show that this defect
in an otherwise illustrious career was
due more TO the weakness of will and
the lack of perseverance, in the makeuu
of Michael Angelo the man.
Reproductions of famous paintings
illustrating his talk will be shown from
stereopticon slides especially prepared

HAMMER TAX RATE
Supervisors Plan to Reduce
Burden by Campaign of Econ
omy in County Expenses

OAKLAND. July 17.-supervisors f.
w. Foss and John F, Mullins. a ma
jority of the county boards finance
committee. are preparing to wage a
systematic campaign for the reduction
OF taxes in Alameda county. An In
crease in valuation OF nearly $4,000, 600.
with a surplus in the general fund
of 100000 for the fiscal year just
closed, has furnished a working mar
gin on which to start.
In addition, economies inaugurated
under the new regime IN county af-
fairs, backed by District Attorney W.
II. Donahue and the grand jury. con-
stitute the most promising field in
which to continue with a view to saw
ings in the outgo. At present the cam
paign has been confined to keeping a
sharp eye ON resolutions calling for
the expenditure Of money, the close
supervision of bills for services rem
dered. and unsparing use OF the knife
in trimming useless employees from the
payroll.
CALL FOR ESTIMATES
In preparing for the budget on which
the tax levy is to be based Foss and
Mullins have called for estimates OF
expenditures from every department
of the county government for the en-
suing year, by means of which a total
can be reached. This is a reversal OF
the old policy, which was to spend
every cent raised by a hit and miss
tax levy and generally incur a deficit
of few thousand dollars besides.
The old scheme furnished fat pickings
but has been discarded as unscientifiC
and wastefuL
One of the heaviest loads imposed on
the urban population of the county
who pay more than two-thirds of the
taxes, has been the system OF country
road building and maintenance. Out
side supervisors traded all their pat
ronage for a free hand with road
funds.
JOBS NOW EXPERFED
Jobs by contractors about the county
buildings which grand jury reports
have shown to be an easy road into
the county treasury now come under
the exporting of Supervisor Foss, a
building contractor and material deal
er, with the result that bills are fire.
quently cut from 35 to As per cent be-
fore receiving an o. X. in the finance
committee.
Foss and Mullins have not announces
the figure 10 which they hope to bring
the present s1.36 rate for inside dis
tricts, exclusive of school bond taxes
With the expected reduction in the
state tax rate, which was cut cents
last year. the new county and state
rate may be fixed at $I.25- The board
will be spared the expense OF a gen
eral election this year.
