PROPOSES TAX
ON PICTURE FILMS
Protection Is Asked for American
Films Against the Foreign Film
Makers.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Lorimer. accompanied by E. ]. Mager-
stadt and Mr.. Murdock OF Chicago. the
latter vaudeville magnate, called up
on Secretary Of the Treasury Mac
Veagh to interest him in a plan which
they propose as protection against
domestic competition Of foreign In
dustry.
Immediately after the interview Mr..
Lorimer started for Chicago, but 1t is
understood that he intends upon his
return to take the matter up with the
Senate finance committee, which is
now engaged In putting the finishing
touches to tariff bill aimed to pro-
mote home industry Mr.. Lorimer's
friends, who are interested in the NOV
ing picture business and the importa-
tion OF foreign made films, complain
that they are required to pay full
duty upon each film they handle,
whereas competitors are engaged in
obtaining a few originals and by repro
ducing them here escape the payment
OF customs tax upon all the dupli-
Gates, and are able to sell the repro
ductions below what the Chicago NOV
! ing picture syndicate have to pay for
their films. 1t is claimed by Mr.. Mag
erstadt and Mr.. Murdock that an In
ternal revenue tax equivalent In
amount to the customs duties upon I'M
ported films should be collected upon
all duplicate films made in this coun
/ try from imported originals. Theii
argument is based not only upon pro
lection of importers who bring large
quantities of originals and make nt
duplicates here, but also in behal
Of the public on, the ground that for
eign originals are superior to domestic
| reproductions.
/ Several members of the financ'
committee, upon having their atten
tion directed to the suggestion, statet
today that copyright and other law
should be appealed to rather than TIN
taxing powers of the government TO
protection against fraud and imposl
tion. They explained that foreig'
Aim manufacturers Of the ,copyrign \
law, prevent the unauthorized sale
