Imperial Cashier Refutes Charge In Mayfield Campaign
The Senate committee probed Ku Klux Klan funding in the 1922 Texas Mayfield campaign. Imperial Palace cashier N N Furney and auditor J E McQuinn denied any Klan money was used, while J Q Jett testified Evans allegedly handed $26,000 to Furney. Furney rejected the claim as unfounded and asserted graft throughout the Klan. Mayfield’s counsel sought limits on records, and testimony indicated 150 to 175 Klan units in Texas with possible more.

Taxpayers Hit With $500 Overpayment For Tax Roll Publishing
Amarillo Independent School District voters face a $500 excess cost for publishing the delinquent tax roll next year after the board awarded the contract to the Globe at 284 cents an inch over The Evening Post at 22 cents. The decision favored the Globe due to its larger circulation, despite The Daily News offering lower bids, with officials citing equal service and the broader reach of the Globe. Critics argue the extra funds could have funded teacher salaries, suggesting the district needs better compensation to retain staff amid current budget strains.

Motor Vehicle Tax Contest To Be Appealed
A joint motion signed by Hamilton County contestants and the attorney general was sent to the Tenth Court of Civil Appeals at Waco to file. The motion states abandonment of the test suit and asks that the injunction against the Hamilton County Tax Collector be dissolved. The case leaves the limestone test of a similar nature pending. The Hamilton County injunction had barred remittance of automobile license tax funds to the highway department under the 1923 law. The highway department had no involvement and did not know of the dismissal until after an attorney went to file in Waco.
