Bishop Hurst Says Progressives Dont Hide Stand On Klan (By the Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. In a ringing statement made public today in w-hich he declares that Calvin Coolidge is the only one of the three candidates who has refused to open his lips on the subject of the Klan and denounces both Republican and Democratic parties.

Bishop John Ilurst of the Methodist' Episcopal Church, one of the outstanding clergymen among colored American citizens, urges all Negroes to support the La Foilette Wheeler Independent Progressive candidacy. Bishop Hurst was at one time superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Missions in Haiti. He served as pastor of various Baltimore churches and was made Bishop in 1912. He is also chancellor of Edward Waters College, in Jacksonville, Florida, a trustee of Wilburforce University, a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a member of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and a Mason. His statement follows in part: I am unreservedly for the Progressive candidacy of Sen.

La Fol-lette and Sen. Wheeler. It must be unmistakably plain to every colored American that there can be no hope for him politically, economically or spiritually under either the Republican or the Democratic parties. The Democratic party has long been the party of the Ku Klux Klan the party of Jim Crow, disfranchisement and lynching. The Klan was founded in the South half a century ago and was revived in the South ten years ago.

Whatever Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate, may state as to his personal position on the Klan. no colored man will imagine for a moment that he can in any sense wipe out or offset his partys record. As for, the Republican party, 60 years ago the party of Abraham Lincoln, it has now been taken over bodily by the Klan in the North. It is openly the Klan party in at least a dozen Northern states.

Alone among the three candidates Mr. Coolidge has refused to open his lips on the subject of tne Klan. The best that we have been able to get from the White House, despite repeated requests not only by colored men of prominence biA by other Americans who rightly object to the Klan on the ground of its fundamental un-Americanism, is a brief statement from the lily-white Mr. C. Bascom Slemp, Mr.

Coolidges secretary, to the effect that Mr. Coolidge is not a Klansman. How gratifying to learn that Mr. Coolidge does not put on a nightshirt and a pillow case and join the night riders after supper. I a Foilette.

on the other hand, is the only candidate who has come out vigorously against the Klan in words that no one can mistake. His entire career shows that he regards all Americans as equal, without regard for race or color. But even had ho been totally silent, it would he folly at this time for colored Americans not to take advantage of the glorious opportunity furnished by the birth of this new party not to ally themselves with it. al show the Republican party that there is a limit to the endurance and to the patience of the colored American citizens. The colored people of America Lnve t-een loyal and faithful to the Republican narty for half a centv-v.

In return, they have received r.oth-" Hit broken promises. The Rc-nublican pa-ty has deliberately taken advantage of the existing -ituation hv whuch it knew that the Nepro could not turn trt th Democratic party to get -justice. Professor Otto Has New Book Published A new book entitled, Things ard by Prof. Max Otto, of Fne Philosophy department, has jjst been published by Henry Holt and company. The book is composed a series of essays which treat of various points of philosophical contention.

Professor Otto has written several philosophical essays in the 1ght rf his own interpretation. The subjects of seme of these essays are The Soul, The Self, and The Conflict in Science and Religion. All classes of people, poor and rich, are included in the long list of persons who in the last year marched down the divorce aisle in the local courts. Among them are doctors, lawyers, students, detectives, accountants, salesmen, railroad conductors and machinists, bankers, carpenters, electrician. teachers and actresses.

Mr. Hansen reports that the total number of separations granted this year is about the same as the total allowed the ynr before. Taxes Higher Despite Cut In 1925 Rate Reduction In Mill Tax Will Not Offset Increase In Valuation BY AL HEIN Taxes in general will be higher next spring despite the fact that the mill tax rate will be reduced. This seems sort of a paradox at first, but city officials explain it by saying that the reduction in the rate will not be sufficient to offset the increase in valuations. The city assessors staff is just completing a revaluation of real estate and personal property in Madsion.

In a majority of cases the values of property have been in-eral million dollars will be added to the assessed valuation of the city by the revaluation. Upon the prediction of various department heads that their budgets for next year will be no higher than during the past year, city officials base their statements that it will take a lower mill tax rate next spring toraise the funds needed to carry on the city government. The following illustration was given by one official to explain the point: Mr. A has owned his home in Madison for several years. Last year it was assessed at $10,000 and with the prevailing 26 mill tax he paid $260 in' taxes on his real estate.

In the revaluation which is just being completed, Mr. As property has been re-assessed at The city council, however, undoubtedly will approve a lower rate than was in effect last year. Some say it will be as low as 20 mills. If so, Mr. A will pay $300 taxes next spring, an increase of $40.

This example, it is explained, is exaggerated for emphasis. In very few cases will the increase in assessment be as high as $5,000. Baptist Rally Local Congregation Will Observe The Rededication Of Remodelled Church Building The First Baptist church noxt Sunday morning will observe the re-dedication of their church building which has been remodelled and renovated this summer at an expense of over $10,000.

Y. Confidence of being elected president was expressed here last night by Senator Robert M. La Foilette. Delivering his first address on a tour that is expected to take him from coast to coast before election I day, the senator said it was appar- 1 ent that the democratic candidate i state outside the solid south and was a poor third in almost every that the contest for presidential i electors now lies squarely between i the candidates of the republican party and the independent-pro I gressive candidates. i During the coming month, con tinued Mr.

La Foilette, the progressives will turn the searchlight of truth on the record of the Coolidge administration. Wants House Cleaning If elected, the senator declared, he wflll devote the first eighteen months of his term to house cleaning and the remainder to constructive efforts. He promised to call a special session of congress next March, in the event he is then in the White house, to enact emergency farm relief legislation, and the IIowell-Barkiey bill which would set up a new method of adjusting disputes between railroad employers and workers, to revise or repeal the transportation act of 1920 and the Fordney-Mc- Cumber tariff law, and to repeal the soldiers bonus law enacted at th last session of congress, substituting legislation to provide genuine adjuted compensation. He said he also would seek to bring about a revision of postal salaries and pensions of civil and Spanish war veterans to conform to the increased cost of living. While action wa3 being obtained on pressing legislatian during the house cleaning period, Mr.

La Foilette said he would call on the appropriate executive departments to prepare a detailed construe ive program providing for reconstruction of the federal reseve and farm loan systems, a pern 9-nent transporation policy, a national super power system, development of co-operative marketing and control of trust and combinations Transportation recommendations Mr. La Foilette said, should include a comprehensive stuuy and analysis of methods of providing for public ownership of raiiroads, adequate safeguards against bureaucratic control and political manipulation. Reports covering each subject, the speaker continued, should be rendy for submission prior to the congressional elections of 1926, thus giving the voters of the nation the opportunity to decide what legislation should be enacted. Commenting on his advocacy of constitutional amendments providing for direct election of president, election of federal judges, restric-fion of the powers of courts and federal initiative and referendum, the Wisconsin senator said ho had no desire to evade these issues, but that this question of constitutional' amendments resolves itself I into a great joke on my conservative opponents, who have recently been excessively agitated about cer- tain of these proposals. All amendments to the constitution must originate in congress, he I pointed out.

Under the constitu- tion the president does not propose them. It follows, therefore, that the 1 only way by which our oDDonents I can prevent me from urging these amendments to the constitution about W'hich they express, for cam- 1 paign purposes, such grave con- 1 ccrn, is to elect me president. Outlining the foreign policy he would pursue if cected. Senator La Foilette advocated referendum on 1 the declaration of war except in case of actual invasion, the endirg of our imperialistic attitude toward Central and South America, by withdrawing marines from such territory, Philippine independence, termination of the partnership between our state department and the imperialistic interesrs, use of e-y peaceful influence to bring about a revision of the treaty of Versailles, not in terms of hate aM punishment, but in accordance the more generous terms of the er. mistice, and the exertion of influence of the United States to outlaw war.
