SLACKER K!GSY HARRIS AGAIN IS DENOUNCED To the Public: - Once again the Central loyalty Committee of the Umatilla ttunty Patriotic Service league fwls It a duty to publish to the county that lllgby Hurrla, wealthy Milton real dent, has refused to contribute to a patriotic fund urn! to express the opinion that this freh refusal, when eonsiileiiMl with his past ree old in war work umleitukings, Jus tifles that he Ih held In sfom and nmtejnpt by every patriotic man, woman and child. Mr. Harris, as was stated at the time he was published for delin quency in the Fourth LlUrty Ixmn campaign, Is one of Umatilla coun ty 'a most wealthy citixens and has made the major part of his riches In this county. The a-wsned valua tion of properly In thia county held in his own name is approximately $sr.,mo, but his total wealth is esti mated variously from S175,Omi to $400,000. So far as our records show his contributions tu wr relief funds have been nil. although we have leen informed that a year aro he gave one dollar to the Red from. He subscribed 12500 to the Third Uberty Loan and $1000 to the Fourth Loan, although both sub scriptions were made under pres sure. His refusals to give even a pittance in supirt of the organisa tions caring for our soldiers ami sailors and for suffering humanity have been mi consistent and inex cusable that, in the absence of any evidence that he is disloyal at heart, the committee can only re lieve that his attitude l dictated by a callous indifference to every thing but his own superlative sel fishness. Further patiunce in dealing with such a notorious slacker as Mr. Har ris would be indefensible and jus tice itself, we feel, Is only half served in the pubile exposure of his shortcomings as an American ctiUen. Nor does the committee consider It duty ended with thc publication of this statement. Mr. Harris is not the only per son In the county who ha failed or refused to contribute to the United War Work Fund without good excuse, and the secretary has lieen instructed to summon eleven other delinquent to appear Dec ember Cth and show cause why they should not bo published also.
