Nays:None. Absent:None . REPORT OF COM41ITTEE APPOINTED FOR PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATING AND REPORTING ON EMPLOYEES. OFFICERS AND OFFICIALS OF THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD WHO ARE OR WERE MIX- BERS OF THE KLU KLUX KLAN. TC THE CITY COUNCIL OF ME CITY OF BAKERSFIELD. GENTLEMEN: Your Committee , appointed to report on the above mat- ter, begs leave to submit the following: That as such Committee we have made a very careful investigation so as to make a thorough report in this matter; we have examined witnesses who have appeared voluntarily be- fore this Committee, and we find that there were several City employees, some officers and officials of the City of Bakers- field who were members, and some had attended meetings, of the Klu Klux Klan, We also find, without exception, that such employees, officers or officials signed the said applica- tions, or joined the Klan, under a misapprehension of the sit- uation and a misrepresentation as to the objects and purposes thereof, the Klan being represented to said members as a 100 per cent American organization for the purpose of more effi- ciently carrying out the laws of the State of California and of the United States government, and for the purpose of assist- ing the officers in upholding the law and bringing to justice violators thereof. It has been reported to us that such mem- bers joined under the representation that it was a fraternal organization and that the objects and purposes were of the high- est character. We also find that the City employees, officers and of- ficials were none of them ever present at any meeting of the Klan while or where it, was reported that any members of the Klan had committed any acts of violence or had anywhere vio- lated any laws, and that if any such acts were committed while any of the employees, officers or officials of the City were members of the Klan , they claim to have had no knowledge there- of . Vie also find several of the employees , officers and officials of the City of Bakersfield, after sending in their aonlication to become a member of the Klan, did not attend any of the meetings and were not, initiated in the Klan, and. that several of them, prior to the aor)ointment of this Commit- tee , had sent in their resignations to the Klan, although their names remained on the membership list at the time this Committee was apnoi,nted. Members of the Committee also conversed with members of the Grand Jury relative to this rnatt.er and, while the mem- bers of the Grand Jury were not at liberty to place any direct evidence in our hands , we are convinced that the acts of the Grand Jury and the findings thereof should be upheld. 48,4817 Flay 22nd., 1922. ( Continued) . 2Iry J We also requested the District Attorney of this County to appear before the Committee to give an such information as he was at liborty ao to do aA aCvir r tti_' ., �u� i.t1. r' e .1-1, or not t1c officers of the City of Bakersfield have given him proper assistance and information relative to his investigation of the Klan in the City of Bakersfield and as to the arrest of persons who were indicted by the Grand Aury in connection with the inves- tigation of theactivities of the Klan in the City of Bakersfield. The District Attorney declined to appear before this Committee and replied that he did not care to appear before this Committee or any committee, or to make any statements, or to discuss the matter in any manner, shape or form. We are further informed, and it is a matter of record, that the arrest, of said persons in the first instance was brought about by the personal efforts of the Chief of Police of the City of Bakersfield and his assistants upon information obtained by the Chief of Police. We further find, from the various members of the Klan who appeared before this Committee, that upon reading the report of the Grand Jury they were astounded by statements made by the Grand Jury as to various acts of violence attributed to the Klan, and that such members voluntarily informed this Committee that they would voluntarily and gladly resign from the Klar , as they believed that the Grand Jury' s report should be upheld in every- respect. Therefore this Committee recommends to the Council that no official action be taken by the Council at the present time relative to the dismissal of any of these employees , officers or officials because of the fact that they were members or had signed an application to join the Klu Klux Klan, unless it Irter appears to the Council that all of the employees , officers and officials of the City who joined the Klan fail to resign f rom the Klu Klux Klan immediately, as we do not believe in the principles of the Klu Klux Klan, but believe in upholding the action and recommendations of the Grand Jury, and do not believe that any employee, officer or official of the City can continue to remain a member of the Klu Klux Klan and properly perform the duties of such employee, officer or official, as they all have knowledge of the accusations made against the Klan in the report of the Grand Jury* recently filed in this County. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) H. H. StetITH. Dated May 22, 1922. Chairman. Statement of Police Judge Baughman 3elative to IIis Connection With the Klu Klux Elan Organization. A communication addressed to the Council by Police Judge Baughman, relative to his connection with the Klu Klux Klgn organ- ization, was read to that Body, and upon a motion by Smith, seconded by Hare, was accented and order written in full in the minutes of this meeting. Bakersfield,California,May 22nd,1.92.2. To the Committee of the Council: - i have refrained from making a public statement in regard to my connection with the K.K.K. , thinking that I would be called before the Grand Jury or that your Cormnittee would clear up the matter in your report. I was summoned b ; the District Attorney' s office to ap- pear before the Grand. Jury at 10 A.M. , May 18th, and when I re- ported there , was told that, as they could not use me at once I was free to attend to regular duties until again called. I was never again called, but the fact that I had been summoned furnished head-line material for the press , and left my connection with the matter still more in the dark. c�r� n 1.'. ;r 22nd , 1922 ( Continued. ) + A `t I believe the public has a rij,ht to know just what con- nection its Officials have had with the K.K.K. , and not raving been afforded any other way of making it a matter of record, I am making this a sworn statement. I was initiated into the Knights of K.K.K. , about the first of June , 1921. The meeting at which 1 was initiated. was the only meeting of that Organization that I ever attended. Realizing that the history and traditions of the Original. Klan, coupled with the secrecy of the present organization, furnished the opportunity for, and possibiiit.y of lawless acts, on May 4th, 1922, I resigned from the organization in t_.he regular manner and severed all connection I may have had with it . In justice to the many good citizens whose names have been printed as being members, I add that, personally, I know of no acts of the Klan, of Which any need be ashamed, and I am sure from the class of men named, that they were convinced, as I was, that the Organization is one of lofty purposes and high ideals, which any one can readily see is most likely to be the case even though several of its members may be accused of unlawful acts. I :Isn' t believe there is a fair-minded man in the county who can look over that list and believe in his orm mind that such a body of men were a party to any lawless acts, knowingly. ( Signed) C. F.

Nays:None. Absent:None. RESOLUTION. 1°THAT WHEREAS it has been brought to the attention of the Council of the City of Bakersfield that the Secretary of Agriculture has approved a program for the construction of highways in the National Forests which is to he financed largely from theHighway Fund provided under the Federal Highway Act. And that the State of California will receive in the neighborhood of One Million, Two Hundred Forty-six Thousand, One Hundred Ninety-seven Dollars ($1,240, 197.00)0 as its portion thereof; "AND WHEREAS the Santa Barbara National Forest was set aside by a proclamation of ?resident Roosevelt, December 22, 1902, and comprises an area of One Million, Nine hundred. Thirty-five Thousand and Forty-four (1,935.044) acres and lies in the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, Kern, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo; "AND WHEREAS the said Santa Barbara Forest can be easily reached from the populated portions of central and southern California within a few hours ride by automobile; "AND WHEREAS the said reserve is comprised of many beautiful streams, forests and lofty mountain peaks, eleva- tion of the peaks ranging from 6500 feet to 8800 feet, or higher. The higher elevations of the mountains are covered with forests or pine, spruce, fir and cedar; on the lower elevations will be found an abundance of buckeye, live oak, alder, ,juniper, etc. ; brush of all varieties such as live oak, scrub oak, manzanita, lilac, wild berried with wild flowers in profusion throughout. The streams which furnish water in abundance for the wild animals and game found throughout this forest add to the picturesque view and scenic wonders of these magnificent mountains. "AND WHEREAS there are many beautiful meadows and valleys throughout the forest where delightful camps and cabins could be made or constructed either in the valleys or meadows among the lofty pines. "AND WHFREAS the sly fox, cunning coyote, the padded foot wildcat and the fleet footed deer are to be seen daily, and where they live';in quitneww and repose in this inspiring reserve which at the present is only accessible by trail or wagon road, and should highways or roads be built and con- structed in said reserve, it would be accessible from the coast line of the State Highway and also from the Ridge Route State Highway; and should the Santa Maria and Maricopa Highway be constructed, another entrance to said forest would thereby by opened, mid thus make such scenic wonders available to the lovers of nature, and where the tired or weary within a short distance from their homes and within a few hours ride could commune with nature and rest at ease free from worries and toil in the shade of the forests beside the cool, clear trickling waters of the springs vtiich abound upon the mountains, on the banks of the beautiful streams or beneath the stately pines. Ut2147 Octob� 30th, 1922.(Continued.) s1 "AND WIIEREAS, by the construction of the highways into and the opening of this Forest, travel would be stimulated, and the entire state (particularly those counties bordering on the Highway) would receive a commercial advantage by the additional distribution of a considerable amount of money along the route, from the visitors and motorists, to said reserve. "AIM WHEREAS plans have been initiated to construct - a summer library center at Frazier Mountain for the purposes ' of research, particularly in the study of plant life; it has also been suggested that the universitied in California may select a sight in this reserve for the further study of wild flowers, shrubs and trees. "AND WHEREAS one-third of the population of the State of California reside in these five counties, namely Kerq, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo, it is deemed only fitting and pruner that this one-third popula- tion of this State should have access to this wonderful reserve, as heretofore most of the forest reserves and their improve- ments have been confined to the Northern portion of California. "NOVI, 'PHEREFUIE, BE IT RESOLVED BY TIIIs COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAKFRSFiELD: that this Council, appreciating the great advantages to be derived from this proposed improvement, does heartily endorse the movement of constructing highways in the Santa Barbara National Forest. And does also solicit the support and co-operation of the counties bounding on such reserve, the cities and communities in such counties, and the support of all civic, commercial and business clubs and organ- izations; and request that they unite in giving their support to bring about the construction of such highways in said Santa Barbara National Forest Reserve to the end that the people of the southern portion of California may be enabled to enjoy the pleasures that abound in this play-ground fur- nished by nature; and we request that such endorsements be given and forwarded to the Automobile Club of Southern Calif- ornia pledging such support as may be given by such associa- tions, organizations or communities. That copies of this res- olution be spread upon the minutes of this Council m d certi- fied copies thereof be forwarded to the Automobile Club of Southern California and to the Civic Centers of the principal cities of the counties adjacent to the Santa Barbara National Forest.
