Haleigb, Dec. in Judge Klect Henry A.

In fact. Judge Grady seemed insult ed by queries on the. subject, apparent ly looking upon them as -an intrusion on his personal affairs. He was not at all ngreeable to the newspaper men who wanted to know where he stood in the klan and what he proposed, to do alwul it in the face of a seeming sentiment against kin-hip on the part f the kl.nrand the judiciary.

Governor Al len said. "I note by the press that there Is some misapprehension as to what we mean by Xiclliiig the order and the thought has been expressed that It is the intention of the state to drive out the memfcers of the Klan. ''This is not at all what the action before the Supreme Court presupposes. Before the law of Kansas every or ganization doing business within the state must be chartered. The Ku Klux Klan has a charter under the htjys of Georgia, and the action now pending before the Supreme Court of the State Is for the purpose of securing a writ forbidding the Klan from doing busi ness hereafter In Kansas." "The twence of our opposition to this organization is not in the fact that it tights the Catholic Church or expresses its antipathy to the Jew or the negro, but in tiM fact that it does this under the p and through the and violence. 2 II'.

If you do not avail yourself of the hearing before the collector and you decide not to take advantage of an of fer in compromise, there is nothing left to the internal revenue bureau but to proceed to collect the assess ment or to report the amount ol the assessment to the federal court for it to decide how much is tax and how much of the penalties shall stand. "We have tried to give you a full statement of your case as It stands in this office and what the law enforces ns to do and It is left to you as to whether you will take tbe most feasi ble method of relieving yourself and your property by an offer in compro mise with the additional assurance of a favorable report to the United States district attorney.
