KHAN TO BE ISSUE
IN NEXT CONGRESS
PREPARING FOR FIGHT ON
HOODED ORGANIZATION.
POLITICIANS CONCERNED.

When the United States congress
convenes in Washington in December
the ku klux khan is certain to be an
issue. 1t is reported from Washington
that the fight to unseat Earle B. May
field, democrat, of Texas, will be one
of the first matters that congress will
take up, and the effort to GUST May
field will be a fight on the ku klux
khan, it is generally admitted.
An effort will be made to show that
the ku k1ux khan of Texas spent more
than $4,000 to elect Mayheld to the
United States senate.
1t will be contended that the sum
spent by the khan to elect him is con-
trary to law, as it exceeds the sum OF
campaign expenses permitted.
Reports from Washington are to
the, effect, however, that this will be
the minor issue. The real fight will
be based on the alleged membership
of Mayheld in the khan.
The khan said that it has several
members in both houses at Washing
ton.
Politicians believe that the ku kluX
khan will be an issue in the next pres
idential campaign. 1t is believed that
both the major parties will write a
plank against the khan into their plat
forms.

DIG FOR DIAMONDS
ON ARKANSAS PLAINS
GREAT SHAFT SUNK DEEP IN
EARTH WHERE VOLCANO
ONCE BOILED.

Out in Arkansas great compounds
are rising, the high walls shutting out
the inquisitive eyes and greedy hands
of all the world, for inside is a dia-
mond mine.
Half mile below the sunlit plains,
in tortuous tunnels far from the great
shaft that is the sole connection with
the world above, row of rough-clad
men sit perched on lodges, drilling
with chisel and hammer into the hard
rock surface.
Gems in Lava.
Although the mine is very young
the Arkansas company that operates it
has already finished preliminary ex-
plorations at the outlet or trap of the
volcano pipe, the disintegrated lava
at the mouth having yielded more
than 5000 diamonds.
These gems are mostly of fine quail
ity and range up to 20 karats in
weight, but it is the belief of the mine
owners that richest treasures lie in
the blue ground deep in the bosom
of the earth.
The pipe is a volcanic chimney
through which, centuries ago, great
quantities of molten rock were forced
up by an explosion in the depths.
The chimney is filled with this ma
teria1, the overflow of which at its
mouth has been found to contain
many diamonds
Farmer Discoverer.
The overflow is a sort of greenish
blue, exactly like the so-called "blue
ground" from which comes the dia-
,mond yield of South Africa, where,
indeed, the mines are similar to the
volcanic pipe of Arkansas.
Back in 1906 John Huddleston,

boro, Ark, was walking over his
broad acres when he came across Z
white crystal lying half-buried in a
field.
He picked it up and gasped. Even
in the rough diamonds are very bril-
liant, and there was no installing the
fact that this was not merely shin
ing pebble. 1t weighed four and a
half karats.
The present company bought the
farm and the diamond hunt began in
earnest. Trenches were run and shall
low pits dug, and in them were found
more and better gems. Some of these
stones were of beautiful canary col
or, some were pure white OF high
grade.

FEAR TURKEYS WILL
LAST ONLY 20 YEARS
POULTRY ASSOCIATION SEES
THE BIRD BECOMING OBSO-
LETE. WANT 1T SAVED.

Turkeyless Thanksgiving dinners
twenty years from now is the dreary
prospect discussed at the annual con-
vention of the National Poultry, But
ter and Egg Association in Chicago
last week, where 1900 representatives
of the transportation, cold storage, re-
ceiving and distributing ends of the
industry talked turkey.
Production OFF so Per Cent.
In the eastern and middle western
states the turkey production has fall
len more than so per cent since the
war, while even in Texas, where the
farms are being cut up into small par
cells, the turkeys star is setting.
Alton Briggs, of Boston, former
secretary of the association, said the
turkey must be saved at all costs.
II am sure the American people and
congress are too patriotic to allow the
turkey to follow the buffalo," said
Mr. Briggs. Congress saved Ply
mouth Rock; it must save the turkey.
Congress h1ust care for the bird as
It has for the Indians. If this is done
we shall have our Thanksgiving tur-
key for some time to come"

COUNTY TAX LIMIT IS
URGED BY ". A. WRIGHT
COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF
STATE GIVES HIS VIEWS TO
THE TAX COMMISSION.
PRESENT SYSTEM
The Assembly of 1914 Started Ex-
travagance Spree and Resulting
Deficits, He Declared. Plenty of
Law on Taxes Already.

ATLANTA, Ga-Comptroller Gen
eral w. A. Wright appeared before
the tax commission, in session here
and vigorously defended the present
adva1orem system of taxation, declar-
ing that what the state needed was
administration and enforcement and
amendment and protection, rather
than any basic change in method.
General Wright, whose long expe-
rience in his present Office ranks him
as an expert on taxation, said that
there is plenty of law on taxes in
Georgia today.
Our present system is all right,
he said, land what we need is econo-
my, administration and enforcement.
No system can or will be satisfactory
in case of riotous appropriations"
He then told the commission how
the bonded indebtedness of the state
had been reduced, how interest on the
bonded debt had come down and how
the revenue raised under the so-called
broken down system" had increased
annually.
L
valorem law had worked with satisfac-
ton until the Legislature embarked on
spree" of spending money, since
which time, he said, the deficits have
mounted steadily and, he warned, will
continue to grow until some system
of check is devised.
Limit County Rates.
General Wright said county and
municipal tax rates must be limited
as an essential to improving the sit
uation and, when asked by members
of the commission what limitation he
would suggest, said that he thought
some rate between ten and twelve
mills would be adequate.
THE cigarette and cigar dealers are
supposed to buy stamps from the
comptroller general" he said, but
the comptroller general is without ma
chinery to ascertain whether the deal
err stamps all of his cigars and cigar
cites. A dealet may buy 81 worth OF
stamps and never come back for
more"
He also strongly favored budget
system to regulate and check riotous
expenditures, and would have con-
stitutional amendment to require a
two-thirds vote of the legislature to
override recommendations of t e
budget commission.
Asked his views on an income tax,
he emphatically opposed it. Asked
how they should reach the high-sal-
aried men who owned no property he
proposed an occupation tax gradual
ed bv size of earnings.

TERRELL VIII FORGE AHEAD UNDER NEW PROGRAM
Young America Is
On a Saving Spree

Young America is on a saving
spree, with the result that the pres
ent generation is laying away in
the nations banks record sums
"for a rainy day."
Samuel Fl. Beach, president of
the savings bank division of the
American Bankers Association,
reveals that savings accounts have
doubled in the banks during the
last year and now total $17 $780,
100000. Indicative of how wide
spread the habit has become Mr..
Beach says savings accounts in the
state and national banks number
over 25,000,000 or an approximate
average of one for every four men,
women and children in the coun-
try.
AS a further significant feature,
Beach declares that 100000 stu
dents are now participating in
school banking systems, an increase
of "a per cent over the number a
year ago. Student deposits total
$9,6l8,000 today, as compared with
$5,775,000 a year ago and $780,
900 in 1921.

CANTON, Ohio.-After chopping

the meantime the asphalt hardened.
His calls for help were finally

UNCLE'S PENSION BILL
STEADILY INCREASING
THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT
NUMBER OF VETERANS Be
COMES LESS EVERY YEAR.

The fiscal year ended June 80, 1928,
showed a further decrease in the
number of government pensioners.
The names of 1900 persons were
dropped from the pension rolls. Due
to the change from quarterly to
monthly payments, which added two
months to the fiscal year, there was,
however, an increase of $9,204,9l7
over the fiscal year ended in June,
1922, in the total of federal disburse-
ments for pensions.
There has been an almost unbroken
decline in the number of Uncle Sans
pensioners since 1902, when the total
reached 099, 446, the highest figure re-
corded. In the fiscal year that ended
last June there were 539,756 persons
on the pension rolls.
The high water mark for pension
ers of the civil war was reached in
the year OF the Spanish-American
war. In 1898 there were 745, 822 civil
war soldiers on the rolls.
With slight fluctuations disburse-
ments for pensions have mounted and
multiplied for many years. There was

Thousands of Japanese each year go
to the great Buddha and worship be-

destroyed many parts of Japan caused
much rejoicing among the pious
Buddhists of Japan, and an impressive
thanksgiving service was held at its
feet.

ments as to the legal and marital stat
us of wives thus sundered from then
husbands and vice versa.
Within recent months there has
been a material increase in the mum
Der of wealthy Americans who have
gone abroad to have their marital ties
severed, believing that there would be
less publicity there and that legal sep
arations could be had there upon
grounds not recognized sufficient in
the United States.
Citizenship an Issue.
One inquiry often received at the
lean, who establishes a legal residence
in Paris to pave the way for obtain
ing divorce, would lose his or her
citizenship in this country by reason
of that fact 1t was suggested that if
divorce suit plaintiff lost American
citizenship in that way he or she
might not return to the United States
if the quota of immigrants from the
country in which residence had been
established was exhausted.
Status of Alien Wife.
So far as the laws of the federal
government are concerned, a divorced
man or woman may return to the
United States without molestation,
but if married again abroad the fact
must be established, and in such case
the husband or wife, as the case. may
be, would have to come under the
quota law if native of foreign
country. This would beltrue regardless
of the American citizenship of the
other party.
In other words, male American
who marries an alien woman no long
er can bring her into the United
States as a citizen. She no longer be-
comes an American citizen automati-
cally upon her marriage to an Ameri-
can She does not become citizen
now until she has complied with the
formalities of taking out her citizen
ship papers and until five years have
elapsed.
Common Law Marriages.
Common law marriages are not rec
ognized and there are provisions to
provide criminal prosecution of those
attempting to bring an alien woman
in for immoral purposes. If the di-
vorced husband or wife returning with
new bride or groom can meet the
federal requirements he or she will
be passed by the immigration inspec-
tors, but then arises the question OF
state laws
Some states declare by statute that
divorces for causes other than those
recognized within that state are not
legally recognized. In such common
wealths a remarriage under the cir
cumstances would be illegal, while
just across the state line if might he
