GEORGIA PRODS
 WESTERN UNION
Receiver Will Be Asked Hiram
 chiSe Tax Is Not Paid
HEARING IS CONTINUED
Attorney General Hart Proposes to Take Action Against Telegraph Company If Tax Is Not
 Promptly Paid.

Atlanta, February 2O.-(SpeeiaL )-At- torney General Hart of Georgia an nounced his intention today to ask that the plant of the Western Union Tele- graph company in Georgia be placed in the hands of a receiver in order to collect taxes that are claimed by the state as due and past due on it's franchises if these taxes are not paid in d reasonable time.
 Argument was heard by Judge Newman on application for writ of supersedeas filed by attorneys for the Western Union, which company wants to get the matter out of the jurisdiction of the state courts.
 Judge Newman had just continued the hearing until next Saturday, announcing that until the matter can be concluded then he would reserve his decision. The question of whether or not the state might levy on the property before Satur- day was raised by one of the counsel for the Western Union.
 Il do not intend to levy before next Saturday, your honor," said Judge Hart. But if the taxes are not paid within a reasonable time, however. my recourse lies in the state courts. l will ask the su- perior court to place the Western Union in the hands of a receiver to insure col lection of the tax
 The above colloquy indicates certainty that the state will not have recourse to fl fas and sheriffs executions in collecting the tax This course, it is known, would be largely intellectual, as a sheriff could not levy on the poles or tie up the value of the property. The possibility of a suit for receiver shows that the states method will be to impound the revenues of the company unLn enough is accumulated to liquidate the tax.
 Thus far the litigation shows a decided victory for Attorney General Hart and the state
