Class No. was created to be the
supreme degree Of foreign-born citi-
zens, exclusive Of Jews and Catholics.
To ascend to Class No. required
| two steps after initiation. or a total
expenditure Of $50.
Then Class No. was designated
as a safe place for the despised
Catholics. and the fee was $50. or
SO for each degree.
Finally came Class No. I. for the
hated Jews. at the nominal cost of
$40.
This $40 seems like q very small

cording to Klansman literature. pos

but leave 1t to Clarke and his crafty
associates to find methods of ex-
tracing further tribute from the
members Of the race after getting
them into the order.
This was fully provided for in the
Jewish fraternal order which the
Khan Is planning to organize in op-
position to the Sons of Israel. In
this new order. the members are to
be permitted to ascend to the second.

Of the fee Of SO per degree. These
degrees were to be entirely dissimilar
to the fourth degree Of the parent
organization, to which only 100 per
cent Americans are to be admitted.

The Khan never considered changing
its attitude toward the Jews, Catho.
lies and the others, and Class No. 4
was to remain as invisible to the
other three classes as II Is today to
the so-called "alien world"
Tho ALLEN world Is comprised Of
non-members of the Ku Klux Khan.

Now then. in addition to the de-

women and daughters are to be ex.

The wives and daughters are to be
known as the Daughters OF the Ku
