Investigation Started:
III. S. Unable to Collect Taxes
|Of$685, 355 Assessed on XXX

By Froncis P. Douglas
Stor S,off Correspondent

ATLANTA, June 15.-The In
ternal Revenue Bureau, which filed
an assessment Of $685.. 1855 for in
come taxes and penalties against
the knights of the Ku Klux Khan,
Inc, has been able to obtain neither
voluntary payment of the assess
ment nor to find any property on
which to levy.
Marion H. Allen, internal revenue
collector, SO informed The Star, At
the same time he said he is starting
at once an investigation to deter
mine whether the Association OF
Georgia Klans is liable for taxes
on initiation fees and dues. The
association is the successor to the
old xxx, but Grand Dragon Samuel
Green of the association says his
organization has no connection with
the old invisible empire.
II was learned, also, that the In
ternal Revenue Bureau either has
looked into the question, or is con-
sidering, whether the present Or
ganization is liable for income taxes
just as the bureau claims the for
mer organization is liable.
| The present organization would!
be taxable only if the bureau rules,
as it did in the case of the char
tered Knights of the Ku Klux Khan
that the exemptions for fraternal
organizations do not apply.
In the case of the taxes on initia :
ton fees and dues the 20 per cent
tax would apply if the fraternal ex-
emption is ruled out and if the in
| itiation fee exceeds $40 and if the
dues exceed $40.
/ DR.. Green in an interview. said
that he had. by edict. reduced the
klectoken or initiation fee of a
chartered Khan from $40 to IS, and
/ that dues are Sc a year.
Part of these sums go to the grand
dragons office.
Under the old setup, $3.50 went
! to the national office" DR.. Green
said. Nov, s125 comes to this
office, the rest to the local treasury. .
Under the old organization. the
| imperial wizard. the national head
of the Khan, collected a per capita
/ tax of 10 cents per quarter. This
tax, DR.. Green says. has now been
reduced to As cents.
10000 Members Claimed.
/ DR.. Green says the association he
heads has between 10000 and 10000
members in Georgia. He declined
to give the Separate figure for the
Atlanta membership, but said there
are seven klaverns posts in the
city area. Atlanta people who make
it point to be informed on Khan
affairs put the Khan membership at
a figure much smaller than DR.
Green's. They say the Khan has
about 5000 members in the State
and only about 1000 to 1900 in
Atlanta.
However, on the basis of DR.
Green's figure at the Ascent tax or
members and 10000 membership
he would collect s72 900 a year. How
much would come in from klectokens
would depend on the number OF
