Unattached, Florida, to be in charge of King Kleagle S. A. Givens, who
will report direct to the Imperial Kleagle and whose address is Box 1883,
Jacksonville, Fla.
These "Domains" may be likened to divisions of an army, as they are in
control of the spread of Ku Kluxism in the sections named, and the "Grand
Goblin" reports direct to the "Imperial Kleagle." Each State or "Realm" is
like a regiment, and the King Kleagle reports to his immediate chief, the
"Grand Goblin," and not to the Atlanta headquarters. The "Kleagle" or
field man makes his reports to the "King Kleagle" only. All communications
sent to or received by him from the headquarters come through the channels
of the "King Kleagle." The system is so thoroughly military that if a
member of the organization writes to Atlanta about any matter, the letter
is sent through channels to the Kleagle for his action.
The Kleagle is empowered to administer the obligation, organize and
instruct Klans, and collect the requisite and necessary "donation" of ten
dollars. Out of this sum he retains four dollars per member for his
services, and at the end of the week submits a report of his activities,
remitting to the King Kleagle the six dollars balance due on each member
secured. The King Kleagle retains one dollar a member for his services,
and remits five dollars to the Grand Goblin of the Domain to which he is
attached. The Grand Goblin is allowed to shave off fifty cents a member
and remits $4.50 to the Imperial Kleagle, who in turn keeps $2.50 and pays
into the treasury of the Imperial Palace the sum of $2.00 which is all of
the original "donation" that actually reaches the organization. The whole
system is carefully conducted as a well organized sales system, each
official being required to file his returns each week on a form provided
for that purpose. The following is a copy of the Kleagle's weekly report
form:
