THE OLD AND THE NEW IN ART

give a Photographic reproduction Of
actuality. This picture is the essence
OF Butte and it's copper mines. The
colors are the artists free choice;
they are not gray as would be usually
found in a realistic treatment Of an
industrial scene. Though the tone is
subdued, the colors are warm in ef-
feet, with red predominating. The
picture is masterfully constructed
hills and mining structures struggling
with each other for mastery, piling
upwards, mass upon mass. There are
no people in the picture, for they
would mar it. People don't belong in
this monumental construction, in this
massivenes, in this flow and magnif-
icent sweep of line. People are not
monumental, not in appearance any
way, and they are therefore elimi-
mated, leaving monumentality, solidity,
set down on the canvas with a sure
hand. 1t is truly an epic Of industrial
America, as only Lozowick can render
it, an artist whose work is Of the best
that America has to show.
There is a painting by Lydia Glib
son, a competent portrait OF Floyd
Dell, a rather summary picture, done
in bright colors. VIM. S. Tanning,
another Communist, has four draw
ings. All of the Communists can be
classed with the modernists and near
modernists. One must naturally ask
the question: us there connection
between politics and art?" To answer
1t would require another article.

Keeping Patriotism Alive.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 10
While the fair grounds is fully two
miles from water of any description,
except fire water, and that from the
lowly hydrant, the American legion
will stage bathing revue at that To-
cation July four, in which shapely
girls will parade the grounds clad
in one piece suits to the edification
Of elderly men, long past the age of
usefulness, and members of the legion
of this City who will mingle with
the girls and gloat over the magni-
ficent specimens of American woman
hood in the making.
During the world war when the
troops were stationed in this city the
American government in Washington
closed all places of evil resort for
the protection of the boys in khaki"
To all intents and purposes they are
still closed, but the legion at this
day brings innocent girlhood clad in
flimsy bathing suits to parade before
them on a section Of ground as bar
rem OF water as they themselves are
of common decency.

City, where he didn't take a drink for
two years. That's not saying he
didn't get drunk. For to tell the
truth, he did; but he wasn't to blame
for it, 1t was done in the course of
his vocation. He had to climb down
a ladder into the large wine watts and
clean them out when empty. The
fumes there made him tipsy; partic
ularly the fumes from the brandy
watts. Lots of times he could hardly
stagger up the ladder and crawl out
of the small hole at the top, he was
so intoxicated. But out in the fresh
air he soon recovered. He sobered
up almost Immediately. 1t was diff
serent from a drinking bout in that
way. He got soused breathing the
foul air, and got sober breathing the
fresh air. Such is the power of the
atmosphere good and bad over the
lives of pure and keen men. Brothers,
when passing thru life's stormy waves
learn to look at the barometer, and
by all means when the skies are afoul
and reeking, cease to breathe and,you
will avoid temptation. That is the
first lesson.
Eleven years now poor old Jerry
has been living with the McLanes,
and they like him so well they treat
him like one of the family, tho he is
no relation. The broken old man is
free from care; he picks up a few
dimes hauling ashes and rubbish,
turns them into the family larder to
pay his own keep and his horses,

Guam! We've Gotta Cracked Lip

BY way of diversion we occasionally speaking
by way of Apology read the Chicago Tribune
Usually we pass over the revolutionary section"
where are set forth the allegedly humorous antics
of "Moon Mullins" and "Uncle Walt" These are
far too serious and thoughtful There may be cause
for tears and even profanity in the supposed "fun
ny" paper, but the funniest thing in the Tribune
is the news.
The correspondents sent abroad with college
ignorance concealed behind a vocabulary and the
sartorial equipment of an American petty bour-
geois, can perpetrate the most bowling comics
when most trusting that they speak in deadly
seriousness. An instance is the strange interpre-
tation as to "Moscow's interference in British
AFFAIRS" as made by John Steele, the TribWe'S
correspondent He writes:
~. 7. w. NewboId formerly Communist
Der of parliament, has resigned from Communist
Party, saying he is proud to be an Englishman and
he resents Moseows interference in British affairs.
The instance which finally disguised him with Rus
STA, he said the murder Of the Polish priest,
eudkiewicz, in Petrosrad He telesraphed an appeal
for the priest to Moscow and eensured for this
by the Communist Party"
While it is true that the Polish spy was executed,
regardless of the attempt by all the capitalist
world to conceal his counterrevoutionary acts be-
hind his cassock and while it is also true that his
counterrevolutionary activities were a matter in
which Great Britain was certainly interested and
involved, yet it is not obvious to the average
worker that such secret interests are the ground
for international insult if the spy happens to be
checked in his career by Bolsheviks who are vii
famous enough to uncover him.
What is obvious is the asinine Newbolds inter.
ference in Russian affairs. Some of the dispatch
is reminiscent of the comic opera character who
"might have been Russian, Frenchman or
Prussan; but in spite of all temptations to belong
to other nations he remains an Englishman."
The funniest part Of the capitalist newspaper
is not the 'funny paper"

CAL WOULD CUT
LUXURY And BIC
INCOME TAXES
T o Slash Tax on the
Wealthy, Not Workers

WASHINGTON, May 13.-President
Coolidge conferred today with Repre-
sentative Bacharach, republican of
New Jersey, member of the house
ways and means committee, on con-
templated tax reduction legislation.
Bacharach recommended that any
new tax readjustment should include
the elimination of all surtaxes as a
measure both of reduction and simpli-
fication.
Il believe we can figure on reduc-
ing federal taxes to the extent of
00,000,000," said Bacharach. 81
would favor elimination Of taxes on
autos and accessories, motor boats,
jewelry and club dues. This would
mean a reduction of $13O,OOO,OOO.
I'VE could modify amusement taxes
so as to apply on admission above
Sl.5O. This would result in an addi-
tional cut of $3O.OOO.0OO.
"The inheritance and estate taxes
could be reduced to a maximum Of
20 per cent, the minimum rate to boz
gin at 100000 which would mean a
reduction of s5O,00O,OOO. A cut on
the gift tax on the same basis would
make further reduction of $5,OOO,-
600.
Il favor a reduction in the surtax
schedules to maximum of 20 per
cent to apply only 70 incomes of $751;
600 and upward, eliminating the sur
tax on incomes between $4,000 and
$4,000 l would reduce the taxes on
incomes between $4,000 and $4,000,
either by reducing the rate or giving
increased allowance for dependents.

Also Going to Fail

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-FP)-
Careful inquiry into senate sentiment
as to changes in the rules demanded
by Vice-President Dawes has shown
that not more than a dozen out of
the Sc members Of that body are in
terested in trying to put a gag on de-
bate.
These supporters of Dawes are
third-rate men or new men, who have
no power as leaders or speakers, and
at the first attempt on their part to
raise the issue the opposing fire will
be so devastating that they will prob
ably drop it for the remainder of the

TERRY isn't quite So prominent a
- figure in Los Angeles life as his
friend, Sunny Jim was and yet he is
known like he says Jim was from
the West side to East Los Angeles!"
Jerry too is an unfortunate. Four
teen years ago he was struck by an
automobile and his ribs were stove in
and his hip broken, so he has to limp
around with the aid of cane, but
he didn't get nothing out of the acct
dent.
Also Jerry has lost all the fingers
off his left hand However, he has
a clear complexion, fairly clean
beard and very dirty shirt. He has
lived around here for, 20 years; long
enough to know enough mot to mess
up with fellow like Sunny jim"
whom he accuses of having had pol
ice protection during his stormy and
unfortunate career. 1t seems quite en-
regale for those leading members Of
local society who habituate the low
er side of the town to have spent
their bit in hook; after which they
learn to operate without interference.
Jerry doesn't operate, unless you
would call driving trash wagon OPP
Grating.
The history of the trash wagon is
Illuminating. Some years ago Jerry
was in hard luck He was put out of
his shack on st. Andrews and 34th>
place, and neighbor, Mr.. McLane,
took pity on him and gave him nice
room in a comfortable bungalow. Nc
Lane also gave him horse and
wagon, having an old nag to spare,
since the transfer business was pass
ing from the horse to the horseless
age. So Jerry is happy and independ-
ent; no cloud on his horizon to dis
turb his peace; no dark past to point
its accusing finger at him and say,
Thou art the man. :" You see
jerry while he did get drunk occa-
sionally with his old friend, Sunny
Jim, never went into the high life
that Sunny affected. In Jim's case
1t was not wine alone at two bits a
gallon from the Sorraul Bros. winery
on Jefferson street that gave him that
fire in his innards," it was the food
and song that went with it, and pre-
sumably the women too, for they did
have women around the old Burbank
Theater the same as they have now,
and where there are women and
scene painters who paint the figure
there is apt to be some smoke, if
there isn't actually some fire. So
Jerry learned early in his career to
beware the famous trilogy and walk
the straight and narrow path that
leads to the ash heap and not to San
Quentin. Sunny liked to sing some
thing terrible when he was drunk. He
would sing his German songs and
keep the neighbors awake for blocks
around. It was all the police could
do to quiet him. But you see Jim
practiced what he preached: wine
women AND song: while Jerry only

The object of this little sermon is
to teach lifes ironies; but amidst
the lotteries here recorded we hope to
include instances of just such charit-
able deeds as those of the McLanes

kept my eye out for his blackjack,
for he was in an ugly mood, and didn't
know when he would hit me-" said
Jerry.
1t is to be presumed both had been
drinking over there while making
their purchase of five gallons vinum
for 81, and quarrelling on the way
back Such things are done and for
gotten; but not the fact that your
companion holds his blackjack in
his hand and Yields it viciously on
occasion too. That is one unforget-
table incident that makes vivid the
remembrance Of the whole journey,
there and back. In one way it seems
good said Jerry, to think Of Jimmy
being cared for in his last moments
in the hospital where everything was
clean and sweet, tho he died hard, raw
ing, his vitals on fire, and was buried
in pauper's grave. But we should
know we can't do such things as

The last important event of the art
season in New York is the Spring
Salon of the Salons. of America at the
Anderson Galleries, seth Street and
Park Avenue, running to May 16.
The exhibition is on two floors.
They have segregated the artists ac-
cording to tendency. The two large
rooms on the two floors are in sharp
contrast to each other. They are two
different worlds. Here one can see
wildly the struggle going on in the
art world as well as elsewhere, be-
tween the old and the new. In the
room of the modernists you feel a
vitality, dynamic quality. 1t compels
your attention.
You go one floor higher and you are
taken aback by the contrast. There is
a distinct come-down. The canvasses
are lifeless. 1t is another world, an
old world, weary, with a pallor of
death upon it, bloodless, faded. The
conservatives have absolutely nothing
more to say. They are bankrupt.
Their methods are obsolete. They
are repeating old formulas which were
alive at one time but are now dead.
They initiate the past masters, but
fail woefully.
The exhibition has been invaded by
Japanese artists who have contributed
some of the best pictures of the ex-
hibition. There is 1.-THE Clinch" by
Eitaro Ishigaki who is a Communist,
