fled tome and place. Every person 80
summoned Is assured OF a courteous
and fair hearing and every safeguard
Is taken to prevent any Injustice be-
ing done. If the evidence tends to es-
tablish that u state or federal law
has been violated. the natural pro-
cedure is to turn him over to the pro-
per authorities. However. in the ma
jority of cases there has been no vio-
lation of a law that would make him
to prosecution. In a good
many cases it has been found that a
man has been unguarded in his talk
or has failed to appreciate his per-
sonal obligations toward the country.
In those cases, the hearing is generally
all that is necessary. The central
loyalty committee is composed OF II
representative citizens who have
pledged themselves to consider all
cases before them from an impersonal
angle and to disregard politics, busi-
ness, friendships and everything else
but their duty to their country and
community. The committee is pre-
pared. to ''go the limit" to handle all
cases effectively but to date has Sc
cured satisfactory results from every
method outside the law. In fact there
are few men in community such as
this who will hold out against such
organized public sentiment.
Back of the loyalty committee and
the other committees of the organi-
zation is the loyalty auxiliary which
is in reality the league itself. Pledge
cards containing a pledge with a
punch in II are circulated through the
medium of committeeman. The man
who presents such a card to another
must sign as sponsor which in effect
makes him say that he knows per-
sonally that the signer is a 100 per
cent loyal American citizen. Eventu-
ally the league expects to have every
loyal man and woman in the county
signed up to back the country and tho
organization.
The general organization also In
cludes a central rating committee and
district rating committees. All poten-
tial contributors are classified ac-
ocrding to their estimated income and,
district precinct ard Individual quotas
are based upon those ratings. A unit
subscription is fixed for each class in
each drive.
The following are members OF the
rating committee: G. NJ. Rice. w. l..
Thompson, Leon Cohen. Assessor c. p.
Stfain, Deputy Sheriff a, C. Funk.
The first work taken up by the or
ganization was the taking of a census
of potential contributors. Each team
captain was required to turn in list
of such contributors in his limited
territory. This list is to be his during
the war and he is responsible for new
people moving in. These names have
