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.
