KU KLUX KLANSMEN, 1O4.
STRONG, PARADE STREETS
or HARL|NGEN LAST NIGHT

A ku klux klan parade, in which
lo4 knights of the invisible empire,
led by a fiery cross and a United
States flag, was the startling conclu-
sion to civic celebration held in
iarlineen last night.
The streets of the Junction City
were thronged with people of both
the town and country. VINO were .ce-
ebrating the completion of the
street lighting system. hortly after
. o'clock, when the streets were most
iensely crowded, the klansmen ap-
peared, robed and masked, marchina
n regular order, and without com
nand being spoken, every movement
If the marchers being directed by
motions Of the leader. Hating mo-
mcntarily in the main part Of town
while a proclamation was being af
fixed to a telephone pole, the klans
men again took up their march, pass
ng silently through the main street.
# the city, then through the Mexican
quarter, and disappeared as silently
TO follow them by any member of
The large crowd which witnessed
the demonstration. Every klansman
was skillfully disguised and they
moved in silence and with a precision
that was described as "spooky."
Several banners Inscribed with lie
gends such as "fhe Bootlegger Mus:
Co." white Supremacy" etc,
were carried by marchers. Their pro
ciamation. pasted on telephone post,
was signed By the Harrington Klan
No. Sc, and gave notice to bootleg
gers. gamblers and other lawbreak-
ers that their presence in Harlingcn
would not be tolerated by the khan.
The disguise worn by the klans-
men consisted of the regulation
white robe with red insignia over
the left breast from the shoulder al
most to the ground. Their appear
nnce was described by spectators as
''wierd," and--...rsry impressive"
A notice was posted some weeks
avo by klansmen to the effect that
the city was not disposed to favor
the existence Of bootleggers and ad-
vised them to get out Of town. This
was followed by a general exodus. Of
the booze dispensers, but the procla-
nation Of the klan would indicate
there are still some left.
This Is the first demonstration of
the Ku Klux in the Valley. In various
towns of the Valley Ku Klux notices
have been put up. and at Mercedes
this week donation was given in the
name Of the Klan to minister to APP
ply TO specified charity. What the
strength Of the Klan is in other sec
tions OF the Valley is largely mat
ter Of conjecture, but il is evident
Harlingen has healthy organization.

EXCHANGE RATE
KILLSBUSINESS
in BALTIC SEA
Commercial Relations OF Bal
tic Nations Cannot Be
Adjusted
fPv The Associated Press)

COPENHAGEN, Aug. .7-There
Is comparatively little commerce IN
the Baltic owing to the disparity in
exchange rates. Danish dairy pro-
ducts, hams, bacons and other food
stuffs which formerly went to Ger
many can nc longer find market
there because Of the unfavorable
exchange.
Germans going from Waremunde
to Copenhagen find that their crisp
thousand mark notes shrink to 73
crowns and prices are so high in
crowns that it il impossible for Ger
man merchants TO buy Danish butter
and cheese for the German market.
Consequently the Danes must depend
for market on countries which al
SO have high exchange. Recently
they have tried butter and cheese
shipments TO the United States.
The Danish market is glutted with
foreign manufactured goods which
nave been assembled in the hope Of
invading the Russian market. Shop
windows are filled with American
goods. California timed fruits and
American shoes or al sorts are es-
pecially prominently displayed. Ba-
uanas are abundant in the markets
and dealers are hawking them every
wnere about the streets. in striking
contrast TO the German cities, where
bananas are seldom seen.
Shops of all sorts in Copenhagen
have much larger and more varied
stocks than can be found in the
large German cities. where the
government import regulations have
kept out Injuries which could not be
smuggled in through the occupied
area.
Danish business men are making
desperate efforts TO establish salts
factory business relations with the
government of Soviet Russia in the
hope Of relieving the depression
which has followed the drop in prices
but so far the Russian business has
not been satisfactory.
The Great Northern Telegraph
Company. which owns the direct ca
bles which formerly operated between
Petrograd and Copenhagen, is nego-
tiating with the Soviet government
for a resumption of direct telegra-
phic communication between Pctro-
grad and Danish cities and has ef-
fected preliminary agreement
which will probably be signed before
winter.
AS the Baltic is still alive with
mines, especially in the Gulf Of Fin
land and the cables have been much
damaged by years Of disuse, it Is not
likely that they can be repaised be
fore pctrograd IL frozen an this win
ter.
Efforts have been made to locate
all these mines but shipping is still
very hazardous on the routes leading
TO Petrograd and tho vessels which
recently entered that port were pro-
rected by small craft which proceed
ed ahead Of them cautiously and re-
moved all obstacles.

FIVETAXATION
BILLS we're UP
BEFORE HOUSE
Legislators Kept Busy Keep
ing Tax Revisers From
Reading Session

AUSTIN. Texas, Aug. 27 Five
taxation bills were introduced in the
thirty-seventh legislature at the first
special session. seeking additional
sources of revenue to meet the ex-
penditures of the state for the next
two years. However. the bills did
not live long, the house committee
on revenue and taxation Te
porting unfavorable to passage a
few days before the sine die adjourn
ment. Postponing indefinitely ac-
ton on the bills was the method used
to kill them.
The class of the revenue produ-
GERS was named IN the Nelson bill
placing a tax on all tickets sold to
places of amusement. The bill covered
motion picture shows, baseball games,
side-shows, circuses and all other
places of amusement.
A one cent tax on every gallon
OF gasoline was another revenue pro-
ducer proposed by representative
Nelson. This was proposed to be le
Wed against the retailer.
The severance tax on the natural
products Of Texas. excepting oil.
was also advocated by Representa-
tive Nelson. This bin proposed tax
ing sulphur, lumber, coal and all
other natural products Of Texas, ex-
cepting oil.
The billboards of the state did not
escape Representative Nelson's eye
as a revenue producing medium. He
proposed in his bill to tax every
square foot of billboard space in Tex
as, excepting election notices and the
like.
The proposed Inheritance tax was
introduced by Representative Smith
of Travis county. Numerous times
on the floor of the house, the author
was called ona point of order for dis
cussing this measure when another
subject was under consideration. He
stoutly declared that if passed this
bill would automatically reduce the
present ad valorem tax rate to lS
cents.
A tax on tobacco was mentioned
during the session, but was never
introduced in bill form. Represen-
tative Rogers of Harris county con-
tended that since Governor Neff pre-
ferred taxing luxuries instead of ne
cessities, he thought that tax on
tobacco of all kinds should be levied
instead of the gasoline tax. He ar
gued that gasoline was no longer a
luxury. but necessity while smoking
material was absolutely luxury.
This proposed tax was not ap-
proved by the house members.
