NEW SOCIETY TO AID
BLACKBALLED ART
40 Artists Unite to. Give
Chance to 13 Rejected by
Academy of Design.
RADICAL? NO, SAYS LIE
But 1t Will Let Loose Full
Force of Discovery in Pen
Crayon Progress.

Forty-nine artists who thought the
National Academy Of Design was get
ting too chubby have formed the Society
of American Painters, Sculptors and
drawers in order to give thirteen young
artists an opportunity to attract some
public notes. The academy refused
membership to the thirteen because they
were progressive" Jonas Lie, who an
nounced the formation of the new So
ciety, is in good standing in the
academy and was careful to say that no
actual split has taken place. No resig-
nations from the academy are contem-
plated, although most of the members
Of the new organization are academi-
clans.
The society is going to hammer home
its views on art by a public exhibition
of every members work at a Fifth ave-
rue gallery November /, afterward
sending the exhibition on tour. Mr.. Lie,
when asked whether the new organiza-
ton might be termed radical, raised his
hands in horror at the suggestion. He
insisted that these artists could not be
called radicals in art or in any other
respect. The point was that they rep
resented shades of new thought, and the
academy fathers had not approved OF
the shades, that was all there was to
IL. Mr.. Lie did not hesitate to invoke
the word conservative to refer to the
academicians who threw out the thirteen
brethren.
While on the subject Of shades Mt
Lie stated that allied with the cause Of

will stand for Is independence ana toler-
ance, and every worthy artist. whether
he prefers pastel or even the much stlS-
matized watercolor, will have free rem

FANNING'S RECITAL
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Barytone Shows Fine Inter
pretotiue Ability.

Cecil Tanning, barytone, gave song
recital last evening in Aeolian Hall
This singer is known here, though he
has been heard more frequently in Bos-
ton and the Middle West. His recitals
offer artistic interest.
Mr.. Fannings programme was well
designed to give variety of moods and
styles. Old airs by Gretry, Monsigny
and Mehul were followed by modern
French songs. In the list were Loewe's
ballad, Archibald Douglas" and two
groups of American songs, including
four by Cadman, Beach, Vanderpool and
O'Hara, to poems by. Mr.. Tanning.
The barytone's singing again gave
pleasure. In the old airs there was
some lack of tonal smoothness and
finesse in color and nuance, but as a
whole in these numbers and in others
which followed there was fine inter
pretative ability and skill in vocal art
His French group was much liked and
a response to the applause he finally
added a number. A large audience
heard the recital.

ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS

The revelations made by state
ments from Statistician Louthan of
the Tax Equalization Board in an ar
ticle printed in the Banner yesterday
leave no doubt of the entirely putres-
cent state of the important matter Of
tax assessments in Tennessee. They
explain why the state, in every res
pect, prosperous and possessing an
abundance of natural wealth, has for
some years been forced to borrow
money to meet its annual expenses,
while at the same time the tax rate
was higher than that of other states,
apparently with no more wealth,
that had no such difficulty.
This condition was piling up bur-
densome interest-bearing debt while
that incurred many years ago was in
no way reduced.
1t was also exhibiting Tennessee
and various Tennessee counties and
communities to the financial world as
standing much lower in the scale of
taxable wealth than they really do,
producing a bad and false COMPARE
son with other states in that respect,
thereby impairing the credit that was
the states due, and creating an evil
advertisement by representing it
abroad as impoverished and backward
when the reverse was true.
These damaging facts, brought to
light by the work of equalizing as
sessments, have shown all of this, and
they have shown, too, an amount of
knavery and tax lodging, of loose
methods if not corruption on the part
of tax assessors, of which the state
should be thoroughly ashamed and
which it can not further afford to en-
dure.
The condition is very disgraceful,
but the more pointed fact is that it is
also fearfully damaging. 1t is dam
aging to the state at large and to
every individual citizen. We are all
taxpayers, whether or not we own
property, and all interested in the
material welfare of the state and
community in which we live, and we
are all affected by the loss Of revenue
the state suffers by the delinquency
of the tax dodgers and the loose
methods of assessment that makes
such rascality possible.
Public affairs should be conducted
on business principles, and the state
must necessarily suffer in credit and
good name if those principles are de-
in the manner these revela-
tons brought out by the work if
assessments has shwon. 1t |
is a plain fact that the business af- !
