Politically the klan in Jackson

it&te candidates of the invisible
empire, but also in behalf ot sev
eral candidates for local offices.
The revival of the Medford klan
waa, In conformity with the state
wide program of the yellow ticket
promulgators, primarily a political
move. This is well evidenced by
the fact that at the first meeting
of the county central republican
committee prior to the primary
election the Ku Klux members tof
the committee appeared with a
complete slate of candidates pre
tared. Taking it all in all the Kluxlng

been accompanied by a deflection
ot most of the older and more In'

leaders who took the first steps to
combat the political activity of the
klan, and they are the ones who
cast aside party lines and called
upon all ot the law abiding and
government supporting elements
in the community to unite in a
non-partisan movement to defeat
the attempt of invisible forces to

Walter; Pilots $7,504,

Walter M. Pierce, self-christen
ed watchdog of the public purse
and democratic candidate for gov
ernor has, by his vote in the state
senate, placed his Indorsement on
millage levies costing the taxpay
ers of Oregon 17,504,814.75 an
nually ln direct taxes during the
past three years, 7,334,680.72 of
which Is in excess of the amount
that can be levied directly by the
legislature under the terms ot the
6 per cent tax limitation law, of
which Senator Pierce, himself, was
a foster father. j
Senator Pierce was, as a legisla
tor, the man who pointed the way
for the evasion of the 6 per cent
limitation ptatutle, (according to
the state tax records and the jour
nals of senate proceedings. His
market roads law was the pioneer
of millage tax measures in excess
of the limitation to be enacted by
the simple expedient ot referring
it to the people.
Voted for High. Taxes.
Pierce was directly a party to
the enactment of five millage tax
measures which, since enactment
of the 6 per cent limitation law,
have increased the state millage
taxes 2.6 mills beyond the limit
that Pierce urged the voters to
place on tax measures. The eva
sion has been accomplished
through, the referendum on tax
measures providing for constitu
tional amendments to be submit
ted to the people.1
In the 1919 special session of
the legislature Pierce voted first
for the measure that brought the
state millage taxes up to the lim
it placed on the legislature as a
tax levying body. This was the
bill providing a levy of one-slxtfT
ot a mill for a state adult blind
school. During the same session
he cast his vote favorably for the
measures creating an additional
1.2 mills of tax for the support
of the state institutions of higher
learning and the soldier's educa
tional aid measure carrying a levy
of .2 of a mill. Both of these
last two measures were referred to
the people as constitutions
amendments.
During the regular 1919 session
the legislature passed and referred
to the people two constitutional
amendments providing millage
levies. Pierce was the author of
the largest of these and intro
duced fhe other jointly with Rep
resentative I. S. Smith. The mar
ket roads bill, carrying a tax of 1
mill was drawn by Senator Pierce,
and he was the senate champion of
the proposal to levy an additional
.2 of a mill, for soldiers' educa
tional aid work.

MEATPACKING
GREATEST OF ALL
U. S. INDUSTRIES
Roekford, 111., Nor. 2. Meat
packing is the largest industrial
enterprise in the United States,
Charles E. Herrlck ' of Chicago,
p tent of the Institute of Am
e cl Meat packers, told Rock-
i t Rotarians here today.
Sr. Herrick said the value of
.'finished products of 1305 es--Ishments
ln 1919 exceeded
5(46,000,000, nearly a billion
a half more than Its near
r competitors in size, the Iron
-I Bteel Industry.
v-j'War and its aftermath hit the
.at packing Industry ln Its in
ventory, walloped it in the export
and side swiped its domestic
trade," was Mr. Herrick's charac
terization of conditions existing
in the packing industry during
the last few years. ''Soon after
business had learned how to rush
forward at double quick in a
world topsy turvy with an inter
national conflict, it suddenly was
called upon to slow down to ' a
snail's pace and then to retreat
madly in a world that was being
shifted right side up again. For
a time we were plastered so flat
to the middle of the scene of the
accident that we were unable to
get a good perspective of our sit
uation. Now we can take stock
and discover what hit us.
"Wholesale meat, prices have
taken tremendous declines so that
carcass beef at one time or anoth
er within the last four or five
months has. been selling at an
average somewhere toround tha
levels prevailing in 1914. Hides
and other by-products of the pack
ing industry have not only hit
bottom but they have broken
through the bottom. In fact there
have been times when the meat
packers would have welcomed
pre-war prices for certain by pro
ducts instead of the prices thnt
have been paid on occasions."

WOMAN INJURED
Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 2. The
defense of Mrs. Clara Phillips, In
dicted for the murder ot Mrs. Al
berta Meadows, was resumed here
today. The first witness was Ola
Weaver, an older sister of the de
fendant, who was placed under
cross-examination by the state.
Yesterday Miss Weaver, called by
the defense, told the history ot the
family of which Mm. Phillips is a
member, testifying that their fa
ther was insane at the time of his
death, and they have a brother
now an imbecile and that Mrs.
Phillips herself had been subject
to convulsions, while others men
tioned ln her evidence were men
tally abnormal.
Miss Weaver told the jury today
that at various times, when the
family was living in Texas, her
father would enter a room where
some member of the family hap
pened to be, bringing a knife with
him, and would asked the relative
to kill him. She said she had
overlookod these incidents in her
direct testimony yesterday.
She also said that the defend
ant, Mrs. Philips, had been "ab
normal" from childhood, and had
been subject to such convulsions
or fits as she described in her di
rect evidence. After these attacks,
she said, the defendant would al
ways grieve for several days.
Miss Weaver was reminded of
an occurrence she told about yes
terday in which ,a few days before
the Meadows slaying, Mrs. Phil
lips had broken dishes with a roll
ing pin, ln an attack of the nature
she had described. She was asked
whether Mrs. Phillips had been
drinking. She replied that she
believed Mrs. Phillips had not
been drinking at that time, and
added that she never saw her take
a drink, knew of her using intoxi
cants, or had any knowledge that
she did so, if she did.
She said Mrs. Phillips was
about 15 years of age when she
married, and, that she had suf
fered these spells both before and
since that time.
The cross-examination of Miss
Weaver closed without the witness
having deviated from her testi
mSny under examination ln any
important point. On re-direct ex
amination she reiterated her pre
vious testimony that Clara Phil
lip for 30 or 40 days preceding
the slaying of Mrs. Meadows seem
ed "Tike ,a person in a dream at
times apparently herself and at
other times paying no attention to
what went on around her."
At the conclusion of her testi
mony the defense called to the
stand Mrs. Julian McElroy, a
neighbor ot the defendant. Mrs.
McElroy testified that on July 8,
the Saturday before Mrs. Meadowe
was slain. Armour Phillips came
to her home and asked where he
could find "Harry." Phillips ex
plained, she testified, that Alberta
Meadows had told him that "Har
ry" had spent the night in com
pany with my wife and I am going
to beat him within mn Inch of his
life when I find him."
In the house when Phillips Baid
this, according to the witness, was
Clara Philips, who had followed
her husband into the police.
MAN'S LEG IS FOUND
BURIED AT PORTLAND
Portland, Or., Nov. 2. A man's
leg, severed at the knee, wrapped
in a newspaper and bedded in
straw, was found buried three
feet beneath the surface in a box
near a road east of Portland last
Saturday, deputy sheriffs made
known today.
While entertaining the possibil
ity that the discovery might de
velop a mystery like that of the
Descamps case, in which parts of
the human body were found buried
in various parts of Portland a few
years ago, officers said it was also
possible that some one had burled
an amputated limb for sentimental
reasons. A newspaper dated
April 23 was around the limb.

penitentiary at Marquette.
Muskegon, Mich., Nov. 2. Ray
mond E. Wilson of Grand Rapids,
arrested last night on a charge of
kidnaping 11 year old Rosalie
Shanty, pleaded guilty to a charge
of abduction when arraigned in
circuit court here today.
- Muskegon, Mich., Nov. 2.
While 11 year old Rosalie Shanty
lay near death ln a farm house at
Dublin, Mich., early today, Ray
mond E. Wilson of Grand Rapids
was being held at the county jail
here under heavy guard as the
man who kidnaped the child last
Sunday, drove with her to the
Jack Pine swamps of Manistee
county and there abandoned her,
Wilson confessed, the sheriff's
office reported, that lie abducted
the child. A formal charge of
kidnaping was lodged against
him.
Word from .Dublin this morn
ing waa that Rosalie, widely
known here as the "swimming
girl," through - her expert ex
hibitions at a local beach last
summer, might not recover. She
still was in a semi-conscious state
and ' suffering from a high fever
as a result of privationB in the
forest, where she waa found by a
farmer her clothing torn to shreds
and her body scratched and
bruised by the underbrush.
In his statement to the author
ities Wilson was quoted as saying
he enticed the child into his auto
mobile as she was leaving a
church here Sunday, drove her
about the city for a time, then
started for Dublin. Near that
town, the reported statement said,
Rosalie became alarmed and asked
to be let out of the car. Wilson
said he left her near a farm house
and then returned to Grand
Rapids. The prisoner said he was
intoxicated when he took the girl
into his machine, and was unable
to explain his action.
Entlrfely ignoring precedent
Coach Roy Bohler, of the Willam
ette football eleven, failed to cre
ate one bit of gloomy atmosphere
this afternoon before he and his
squad left for Walla Walla, Wash.
where, Saturday afternoon, they
will meet up with the strong
Whitman eleven.
"We're going to make trouble
for those Whitman boys," he com
mented. "Willamette is going
better now than it has gone at any
time during the season. We know
that Wkltman has a terribly hard
fighting machine, but we think
we have a chance. We'll give them
everything we've got."
Twenty men boarded the train
with Bohler. Most of his men are
in good condition, he said.
Whitman unquestionably has
one of the best teams ln its his
tory and critics are of the opinion
that it will win from the Salem
eleven. The University of Oregon
machine, when It met Whitman at
Pendelton, was able to score only
three points against the invaders.

Out ot Dark Ages
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 2.
Senator James A. Reed, demo
cratic candidate for re-election
to the United States senate,
ridiculed the Ku Klux Klan ln
a political speech here last
night.
"After 150 years of national
life," Senator Reed asserted in
launching his attack against
the klan, "the serpent ot pro
scription has crawled down
from tlie dark ages, wound it
self around the temple of liber
ty, and thrust its forked tongue
against the Goddess ot Liber
ty." "I wonder if its memners
have read the constitution,','
Reed asked. "They evidently
have not, for they foster racial
and religious prejudice." ,

The Armistice Day plans of the
American Legion backed up by

of the day's festivities.
- The parade will be a feature
long to be remembered. It will
bring to mind in a forcible man
ner the trying days of 1918.
Mayor Halverson is to be the
Grand Marshall of the parade and
it is promised that a Btrong turn
out of nearly all the city's organ
izations will be represented. The
ex-service men will be in line in
full uniform.
Strong active chairmen of im
portant committees have been ap
pointed by Post Commander
Minton to have charge of the
work of bringing this important
day's exercises to a successful
close.
The climax of the day will be
the Grand Armistice Day ball to

The Marion-Polk county Realtors
at their weekly luncheon today at
the Marion hotel following an ad
dress by Dr. C. G. Doney, president
of Willamette University, on the
need of the college- and the way
in which the city is benefited by its
location here, passed a motion ex-
uressine their appreciation of tne
talk by Dr. Doney and pledged
themselves to aid as far as possible
in the campaign for a million and
a quarter dollars.
Dr. Doney dealt especially with
the economic phases of having the
college located hore. '"It is a con
servative estimate that every stu
dent spends $400 during the 36
weeks of school," he said. "With
ihe total enrollment we now have,
more than 500, there would be about
200,000 spent in the eity of Balem
that would be new money. Added
to this is approximately 50,000
endowment andgi fts that are re
ceived yearly and for the mos part
fpent here. He also brought to tne
attention of the club that a number
'of new residents brought to the
city through tha location of the

Foreign Policy Wants
America in League Of
Nations.
London, Nov. 2. (By Associ
ated Press) Prime Minister Bo-
nar Law, in address to a delega
tion of women in the Drury Lane
theater this afternoon reiterated
that his policy was one ot tran
quility and stability.
As regards foreign policy," he
added, "I venture to express the
hope that America may gradual
ly take an interest ln the league
of nations in some form or other
and may gradually feel that it is
her duty to help in the chaos in
which the war has left the
world."
Our relations with France
must be the keynote of our for
eign policy," the prime minister
declared.
'As to the position ln the near
east, what I hope for at the con
ference is there may be a settle
ment which will give peace in
that part of the world and which
will enable us to bring our troops
back and cease spending money in
those distant regions."
"As. to the home policy," contin
ued Bonar Law, "the most im
portant thing is to cut down ex
penditures. Without that, there
can be no reduction ln taxation
"We must maintain our naval
position," he declared later on.
"We must retain forces adequate
for the security of the empire."
"The strength of this country,"
said Mr. Bonar Law, "depends as
much on its financial and indus
trial position as it does on its
arms, and in weighing the dang
ers we must take the one into
consideration as well as the oth
er."
The prime minister epitomized
his policy in the declaration:
"I repeat that my policy is one
of negation. There are times when
it is good to sit still and go
slow."
Mr. Bonar Law announced
that he had received friendly
messages from the head ot the
that he had replied on behalf of
England, reciprocating that
Italian government,, and he added
friendly message.
Ir. Bonar Law said Lord Bal
four had asserted that the coali
tion had been wantonly destroyed.
This was not a true picture of the
situation, however.
The real cause of the change,
he added, is that the people of
this country everywhere felt that
under Mr. Lloyd-George's rule we
don t know where we are today
and cannot tell where we will be
tomorrow.

Looking up from work ln a coal

murdered with the Rev. Edward

took issue with some of the state
ments made yesterday by the
clergyman's widow in an inter
view. Talk With Mrs. Hall
Mills said that lie met Mrs.
Hall at the church at 8:30 o'clock
on the morning of September IS.
Mrs. Hall Bald yesterday that she
was at the church at 7 o'clork.
"I know it could not have beeui
earlier than 8: 30," said Mills,
"because my children had gone to
school. . .
"The first thing Mrs.' Hall
asked me was: 'Was anybody sick
at your house last night?' We
then commented on the fact that
both my wife and her husband;
were missing, and I said: 'Maybe
they have -eloped.'
"'No,' was Mrs. Hall's reply,
'I think something has happened;
to them.'
"At noon when Mrs. Hall came!
to my house I told her I had not
heard anything and she said she
had not either. Then she went
away. She is incorrect in her
statements in stating that she did
not come to my house again at
6:30 o'clock. She stayed only a,
minute.
Tells of Visit
"I saw Mrs. Hali again at
seven o'clock in her home. I went
there to ask her It she had any
news. I stayed on the porch to
talk. She did not seem to take
it as bard as I did. I had an
idea that Dr. Hall and my wife
had been together but I did not
think there was anything wrong.
I don't know why I ever suggested
an elopement."
Commenting on Mrs. Hall'sJ
statement that she was not vlndlc-.

see any one punished for the
murders, Mills said:
"I am not vindictive either,
