Creetch, Nye committee auditor, testified before the com mittee today that some special f ditions of the Ku Klux Klan paper. "Fellowship Forum," had been sent into Montana, Kentucky, Alabama and West Virginia. Some of these editions carried the wet cartoon. He Investigated the records of the Independent publishing com pany, which prints the forum, and found over $3,000 worth of the ppecial editions of the paper had been ordered by Former Senator Kohison, republican of Kentucky. The editions, he added, dealt with religion and prohibition. He said Senator Heflin, who ran as an independent in Alabama in the last election, ordered all but one of the editions sent to Ala bama and paid for them himself. Walsh Also Opposed Those sent to Montana were de scribed as Intended in behalf of Judge Albert J. Galen, republican, who was defeated by Senator Walsh, democrat. j Asked by Nye why allegedly wet democratic cartoons should be sent into .Montana for Galen when he was regarded as "wet" and Walsh ! as a "dry." Creetch said the talk i was Walsh "had a little bit more sense and probably would be more dangerous.' It was possible that Walsh was opposed In such a manner, he add ed, because of other considerations "possibly power." RASKOB DENIES CHARGE HE "PURCHASED" PARTY WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 A di rect defense against criticism of his chairmanship of tlie democrat ic national committee was made last night by John J. Raskob. He made public a letter address ed to Frank H. Kent, columnist for the Raltimore Sun, terming untrue statements Kent had written con cerning him in a recent article. The chairman summed un Kent's assertions as: " In short that I have bought and paid for the pa rty." "None of these statements Is true." said the statement. " am one of a group of men endorsing the only committee note outstand ing." "The million dollar reduction in the party debt' he continued, "was made not by me but by close friends and associates of Governor Smith, who felt great responsibil ity for a large part of our deficit and met it. I am loaning money to tin? national committee which will he repaid." The chairman devoted extensive space to denying what he termed an inference (hat he was a republi can anil "that I became a democrat solely Ill-cause of the Smith endi daev." "When your article infers that I was a republican and changed to l he democratic party because of my religion and because Alfred K. Smith is a Roman Catholic." he said, "you are merely joining that strong group In the republican na tional committee that have been fomenting religious and class ha treds during the past two years and prostituting the republican party to gain ballots from a mis informed, abused and misguided public." OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 13 The folks from the cotton fields took! Gov. William II. (Alfalfa Bill ) Murray at his word when he asked them to his Inaugural ball. Thousands who swept the-'sage of Tishomingo" into office with Oklahoma's greatest gubernatorial majority last fall, attended the new executive's opening social event last night created a crush that even national guardsmen could not stralgnten out and de feated plans for a grand march. Overalls brushed swallow tails; work shoes trod on sliver Bllppers. The grand march lined up, Btarted, but was Immediately sidetracked. Proposed square dances on two floors of the state house gave up quickly. The strains of "Turkey in the straw" Btiecumbed as musicians bent their efforts to save violins from destruction in the crush. Runny Nance and his orchestra were all set for the "round dance," so was the floor. But it could. not be used. Too many people were standing on It, waiting for the hun dreds ahead to move on down the stairways. Until midnight doorways and corridors were jammed with those trying to get in and those trying to get out. And Gov. Bill, who in his in augural address yesterday urged "wives of farmers and laborers" to regard the executive mansion as open bouse but raised the bar to tlie purse-proud and Immoral, went home at 11 o'clock dead tired. Ject to the confirmation of thb house where the vacancy occurs, was passed by the senate and house, the latter taking but ten minutes to dispose of the bill. The measure, an emergency, was amended In the senate to make It applicable to the present session only. Appeals of trivial cases from the municipal to the circuit courts would be stopped by two bills in troduced In the senate by W. F. Woodward of Multnomah county. At present a defendant may ap peal if he is sentenced to only one day in jail. One of the Woodward bills increases the appealable case to 10 days. Fines of $20 are now appealable. The other Woodward bill raises this to $50. There's a Reason For ten years of steady growth. For a steady increase in sales, even in trie past year. For a steady growth in the number of stockholders. For a business that has passed $2,000,000 in sales. If you are customer or a stockholder you know the reason. If you are not it will pay you to find out the reason, and act on that reason.

Such taxes are a burden upon the premium of the policyholder, notwithstandin3 they are collected from the companies. The original purpose of taxes on the premiums paid by policyholders was to maintain state supervision of the business. However, such supervision now uses but a few cents of each dollar so collected. The balance goes into the general funds of the states. Add to the Cost of Insurance These special and regular state taxes are factors in the cost of insurance. The opinion of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has been expressed as follows: ; . ; Special state taxes now levied on policyholders through insurance com panies should not be considered as a source of general revenue, but should be reduced to the total in each state which will adequately support such state s departmental supervision : . . " STOCK FIRE INSURANCE companies transact by far the greater portion of the fire insurance business of the country. They wantyou to realize this tax situation and It! effect upon the cost of your insurance.
