Atlanta, Ga, July 26.--While mem
bers Of the legislature who favor re-

bringing against it the complaint that
the law increases only the valuation
on real estate, and fails to secure the
payment of taxes on mortgages, notes
and other invisible property, the board
of tax equalizers of Richmond county
are giving an actual demonstration
Of the fallacy of this argument by 60
ing after the holders of mortgages
with such effectiveness that the affect
ed parties are up in arms"
The Richmond county board has
simply gone to the county records
and obtained the names of the holders
OF mortgages and the amounts they
hold, and is insisting that these par
ties pay taxes on the same, not at full
value but on basis of so per cent
of the amount of the mortgage in each
case.
The plan thus followed has demon
strated conclusively that the fault is
not in the law, where it fails to tax
invisible property, but is in the local
boards of equalizers, who simply fail

General John J, Pershing now hangs
on the .hallowed walls of the French
army museum at the Invalides.
g Executed in a week by Jean Bou-
Choir, the official army painter, it is a
striking portrait of the American
commander and worthy Drank as a
memento for generations to come OF
the chief of the first body of Ameri-
can troops to set foot on French soil
Already thousands of Parisians have
filed before the picture lifting their
hats in homage to the sister repub-

General Pershing has appointed as
his interpreter Alvan F. Sanborn, an
American magazine writer. Mean
while he is polishing up his French,
while Joffre, with whom he is in con-
slant contact, is taking lessons in
English every night at his villa at Au-
teuil, Very soon the two great cam
paigners will be able to converse
without an interpreter.
