 LeeaI Subscriptions Secret
 On the question of keeping secret all To.zi subscriptions Governor Cox quot .d from the official bulletin of August Is as follows:
 -.-The rar1-S - ~--9'rn+S subscribed ~ local donors should not be made pub lie locally.
 T hereby give it wide and nonexclu- rive publicity. Governor COX continued But why was the publication to be only the organ of the secret society? Why were the names of local contributors not 10 be made known Was it because each contribution would carry it's own -,eznfnE to the voters in the local com rrsuuities7 Or. If secrecy were guaran- teed in the communities. were Mir. Hays and Mr. Uphzm to do the same thing in submitting their returns on box office receFptsz Certainly there is some req ron. What is it? The public is entitled 10 know. If Mir. Hays and MT. Upham do not come forward with the informa- tior. the republication national commit lee ought to remove them both and ir- sist upon a clear bill of health. Furth- er1nore there should be some explana- lion of this being made purely a busi- ness afAir. par'\ pated in by business men and business men only. Unexplain- ed. it carries its own condemnation and exposes the purpose of the whole shame fuI business. It means that the quota is 10 be assessed against those who are to benefit. and that the captains of indus fry who have answered MT. Hays roll rali are submitting to taxation with the understanding that they will receive representation"
