a y enr a ko. The county levy this
year nirureirates $3,977,473.91, while
this levy last year totaled $5,360.
65.62. The material reduction In the
county levy this year, it was explained,
is due to the fact that In computing
last year's levy bond Interest and redemption-,
wero included in this clas
sification. Utile chance Is noted in the market
roads levy for 1921 and 1922. Last
year this levy totaled $1,027,026.58,
while the 1922 levy ia $1,135,167.79.

The special school levy for 1922 1
$8. 138,617.20. as against $9,000,813.24
in the year 1921. The general roads

miscellaneous classification.
The county school and school library
levy Is $2,378,871.54, as against $3,-
063.221.60 a year ago. This reduction
is due to tho fact that last year's
county school and school library levy
Included the high sohool tuition, which
this year aggregates jes3,8&.24.
Tho fire patrol levy, which last
year was $66,553.61. has been In

Tho ports levy for 1922 is $1,223,
986.31. as against $912,280.49 in 1921.

noticeable in the levy under the mis
cellaneous classification. Iast year
this levy was $1,326,429.98. while this
year it has dropped to $53,080.20.
As a result of reduced costs follow
ing the war thero are indications that

win compare favorably wun tne levy
made prior to tho recent campaign for
improvements. '

Fifty Thousand Dollars' Dam

Garland, Portland Attorney
PICIS ALLEGED
Plaintiff Is One of Those Ac
cused of Voting Illegally
CHARGE.OF LIBEL IS MADE
Klan Held to Be Made Vp of Persona
Who by Intimidation and Mob
Rulo Influence Voters
at Elections
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 12. (Spe
cial to tho Register) Fifty thousand
dollars damage are sought from
Charles Hall, candidate for Republt-
can nomination for governor in the
recent primaries, R. R. Coster, who
filed a contest petition in the interest
of Hall, and the Ku Klux Klan,' "a
political co-partnership," by Thos. I
Garland, Portland, attorney, in a suit
filed in the Multnomah county cir
cuit court today.
Garland's name was among those
listed by the Hall forces as having
oted illegally in the primaries.
Characterizing the Knights of the
Invisible Empire aa persons "who by
intimidation and mob rule and by
working upon the emotions and sup
erstitions of a certain class of pat
riotic voters attempt to, and do, in
fluence this class of votera to advo
cate the nomination and election of,
and to vote for certain candidates
that may meet with the approval of
the Inner circle, or political bosses
of said secret political co-partnership
commonly known as the K. K. K."
Garland asserts that the accusation
Is false.
Suffrage Held Great Privilege
"Plaintiff considers the right of
suffrage as the greatest privilege he
possesses and to say that he "balloted
illegally' or as 'an alien and not en
titled to vote' is the most humilatlng
accusation that could be placed
against him as. an-American citizen,"
he contends. In his complaint Gar
land sets forth that he was born In
Mississippi, was a volunteer soldier
in the United; States army in the war
with Spain and again -lit. the World
war, that be is a direct descendant
of Patrick Henry, a signer of the dec-; -laration
of Independence" and is "100
per cent American." He - further
avers that he has been a resident of
Portland for 20 years. Is a protests nt
and during all that period a Repub
lican in politics.
Plaintiff was a duly registered and
legal voter in precinct No. 75. vity
of Portland, at the last regular pri
mary election and as such voted for
Governor Olcott in the primaries, he
aserts, . .
Garland says, also, that he Is en
gaged in the practice of law as a
means of lievlihood and of average
fame and reputation in his profes
sion and at the time of the commis
sion of "the grievance herein men
tioned sustained a good name and
reputation for honesty among his
clients and patrons and for patriot
ism and love of his country, its ideals,
and Its law and government among
his friends, neighbors, associates and
the public."
Conspiracy Alleged
Garland charges that Hall, Coster
and the Ku Klux Klan, in furtherance
of a conspiracy against hira, caused
to be published on August 5, 1922, In
daily newspapers of this city the
"false and libelous" assertions that
he was not a legal voter.
This is held to be libel per se and
by reason of the publication Garland '
says he has been "injured in being
deprived of the confidence and es
teem of some of his neighbors,
friends, clients and public, that there
has been great-mental suffering in
flicted on him, and he has been held
up to public hatred, contempt and
ridicule, all to the damage In the sum
of $50,000." , , ;
In addition to the general damages, :
punitive damages of $25,000 aro
asked.
The plaintiff charges that the K.
K. K. is "a secret organization which
has not filed any Incorporation ar
ticles In the state of Oregon, or as-
sumed name certificate as provided
by law," and asks permission to In
sert the names of said co-partnership
members as defendants when ascertained.
