The aSlnlnlty Of the action
is just what would be expected
Of Arthur L. Gilliom," was
Huffington's only comment
from Indiana headquarters
here.
The complaint alleges that the
Klan owns property roughly valued
at $10,000,000 in Indiana, which
never has been entered for taxation
and upon which no taxes have been
paid. Gilliom asks that the receiver
impound all the assets out of which
the taxes may be paid.
Cites Klan's Purpose
Gilliom alleges that the Klan's
purpose as set out in the permit
was:
"A patriotic fraternal order with
.Nap insurance or beneficiary features
esigps-s<.to teach and inculcate
among Us membership greater re-
spect for the Stars and Stripes and
the Constitution and to strengthen
the majesty and supremacy of the
regularly organized forces of law
and to increase patriotism Of the
purest kind amongst its member
ship"
The attorney general alleges that
the Klan and its officers have vio-
lated this permit in that:
1. RathSv than being non-prot1b
organization, 1t has collected more
than 100000 in membership fees,
most of which went to enrich Of
ficers.
Secret, Not Patriotic
"3. The objects and purposes of
such order we're not intended to be
patriotic in the ordinary sense Of
that term, but were intended TO be
secret, to be secretly executed
against citizens of the State of In
diana, who by reason of racial or
religious characteristics are ineligi-
bic to membership.
"The Klan has been conducted in
a manner dramatically opposed to
the common accepted meaning of
the terms patriotic and patriotism,
and more than 100000 good citizens
of the State of Indiana have been
misled into intolerance.
"3. The representation that the
Klan intended to teach greater re-
spect for the Stars and Stripes and
the Constitution is false, because it
taught its membership to disrespect
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments, intoxicating racial hatred.
Set Up Super Government
"a. The representation that the
Klan intended to strengthen the
majesty and supremacy Of the
regularly organized forces Of law,
was false, since the Klan intended
to and did secretly mix In
Democratic and Republican politics
throughout the State, for the pur-
pose Of gaining control of the Gov
ernment and setting up super
government, as evidenced by numer-
