il was very serious for several hours.

premier at noon. He told them 1t

CLASS OR CLAN
SHALL NOT RULE,
SAYS UNDERWOOD
Secret Bodies Strike at
Principles of Govern
menf, He Declares.

Houston, TEX, Oct. 27.-"When men
have secret organizations for the pur-
pose of governing they are striking
at the very principles of government.
I'VE Democrats can condemn no
man who stays in the law in the ex-
ercise of his personal privilege, but
the law must not be run by class or
clan"
With these two statements, here
today, Senator Oscar w. Underwood,
candidate for the Democratic nominn-
ton to the Presidency, virtually laid
down what is generally conceded will
be the biggest plank in the platform
on which he will make his race.
Senator Underwood's pronounce
ment against secret organizations
came like n bombshell and brought
the audience standing and cheering,
the applause lasting TO: several min
utes.
The political significance of the ut
terance in that it is taken as an
answer the rumor that khan forces
of Texas will line up behind McAdoo
for the Democratic nomination. This
report is being published in severa
newspapers over the nation today and
these papers have been asking Under
wood for a statement as 10 his posi-
ton.
Immediately after his arrival in
Houston. the senator received n group
of newspaper men, and the first ques-
ton submitted TO him was as to his
attitude toward the XII Klux Klan.
The senator then said that he fav-
ored strict enforcement of prohibit
ton laws. cooperation between the
United States and Europe for the
restoration of normal conditions. and
such aid as would be beneficial TO the
agricultural interests of the nation.

WITHOUT TAX
Sees First Hundred Years as
Hardest, But Expects to
Unshackle Feet
CIVIC FOUNDA TON
Interest Derived From City
Funds Will Be Re-
Invested
BY NEA Service

BY NEA Service
Milwaukee, Nov. 8.-No taxes to
Skacks Utopian and too good to
be true.
But under a novel plan in munich
pal finance just gotten under way
here, this city hopes to realize the
visien a century hence.
True, the first 100 years will be
the hardest.
But after they have run their
course, Milwaukee expects to un-
shackle all tax letters forever, and
thus provide a nice little altruistic
present for it's progeny. \
Between 20 and so years from
now, the city will no longer have
bonded debt, and taxes even then.
will have started on their downward
course.
All this will be brought about
through the medium of gradual
amortization scheme. aimed to retire
all the city's indebtedness and make
it municipal Croesus. in a few
decades.
As the plan has been conceived,
operating expenses of the city will
be betrayed as the years 60 on, by
interest accommodating in twO-fold
fund invested in conservative secur-
tiles.
Two-Fold Plan
One is the Civic Foundation, es-
tablished through the efforts of
Mayor Daniel Hoan, with Oliver c..
Fuller, president of the First Wis
consin National Bank, appointed as
its head.
This organization begins to func-
ton Jan. l., 1924.
1t provides an opportunity for the
wealthy to make requests and dona-
atoms to the city for the benefit of
future taxless generations, in a per-
petual private gift to remain intact.
The second source is a public trust
fund, accumulated from surplus city
revenue. ~
This fund has been given a start
of 100000, which will be increased
by about $250,000 a year, represent.
ing interest on the city's bank,, &C.
count.
| For the first Is years the city will
receive annually Is per cent of the
/ interest from the fund of the Civic
Foundation; so per cent during the
next Is years and 871l per cent
after the first 30 years. All pinter.
est held back will remain in the
fund to be compounded. eL &
Let Money Grow y6
Interest from various city funds
in banks has heretofore gone into
the general fund, to help lower taxes
n little. Now, this interest is to be
re-invested, to help, through accrued
interest, the amortization fund.
! Diverting this interest from the
general fund will not increase pres.
ent taxes over IS cents per $1,000
assessed valuation, so no protes
is expected from Mr.. Taxpayer, il
view of the fund being created.
The present generation, therefore
will pay a trifle more in taxes, bu
it will postpone some of the heav!
expenditures through the issues O.
bonds for the future generation t,
pay. The plan will be guarantee
of lower taxes each year as the fun,
accumulates and the future genera

ton will find itself favoubly situat-
ed through the amortization plan.
Has Good Start
The fund, which starts with $780,
600 on Jan. l., will pass the million
mark in 1926. In 10 years. it is es-
timated. it will reach $3,500,0OO, and
by 1913 nearly $16,5OO,OO. Account
ing officials predict the city then
will be without any Indebtedness
whatever.
Forty years from now the tax rate
will be one-third what it is now.
Some years later there will be no
taxes at all. After SO years Of put
ting S250,O00 into the fund annually,
this may be stopped and merely the
interest turned back. Fifty years
more of this and the total fund will
amount to $432, 143.47S.2l.

would pay all the taxess' So in 2023

ing the office Of director abolished
and the new office of commission
er of Rclamation" created.
. To this "commissionership" he ap.
pointed former Governor David w.
Davis of Idaho, who admittedly
wasn't q reclamation expert but who
was said to be a competent business
man."
Investigate Commission
When friends of the former di-
rector protested at the procedure, a
fact finding commission" was APP
pointed by Work to inquire into the
needs of reclamation and the status
of reclamation projects.
Hardly had the work of this COM
mission got under way when the di-
rectors of the Society Of Civil En-
gineers filed vigorous protest
against the change from Director
Arthur Davis to Commissioner
David Davis, charging that the
whole maneuver was subter-
fuge to put competent engineer out
and a politician in. Other protests
stated that Commissioner Davis re-
cord as business man" was chief
ly notable for his having organized
bank that went broke.
Davis versus Davis seems certain
to be the most interesting phase of
the situation to be combed by the
commission seeking facts. The
method of Director Davis dismissal
and the manner of Commissioner
Davis elevation to office merely set
the stage for the conflict of charge
and countercharge, that seem certain
to force d further inquiry by Con-
gress itself.
And while the fight goes on Di-
rector Arthur Davis is acting tech
nical adviser to the pecuniary arbi-
tration committee hearing certain
claims British firms have brought
against the United States.
