It was wrong in principle for
Portland to demand that the stale

cost of the proposed exposition. Port
land Is thoroughly able to finance its
own fair and by the rules of ethics
should do bo Pecause that city will
reap U0 per cent of the benefits
from the fair. The move to Impose a
13.000, 000 tax on gasoline In order
to pay for Portland's fair was in the
nature of a breach of faith to the
car owners of Oregon. The gasoline
tax money is pledged to the high
way fund ml that it where Is should
be used, lt would be a monstrous
injustice to force every man who was
a flivver owner to pay tribute In
order that merchants, hotel magnates
and realty speculators in Portland
might reap huge profits. The car
owners of the state are already pay

for gasoline. Why should they be
further burdened to finance an en

the beneficiaries. Kast Oregonian.

It Is being said over Oregon that
some of the outstanding results of
the special session of the legislature
last week was a feud between Port
land and the rest of the state oe
cause of the alignment for and
against an exposition tax. We think
those who are saying that are mis
taken. Among the rank and file of Ore
gon there is neither dislike nor dis
trust of Portland. Here and there
the cry of "Portland hog'" is raised
but in the main it is by someone who
has an axe or his own to grind and'
hopes to aid in the grinding by,
stirring up sectional ill feeling. Port
land is the one large city In a state
that has many ambitious smaller

TIT OX THE ORIXiOX LABEL
As Portland ships go to more for
eign ports, they carry Oregon prod
ucts to many people who have never
seen them before. The goods pro
claim their own merits, but tlioy
should also spread the fame of Ore
gon by bearing the Oregon label.
Oregon manufactures as good furni
ture as Crand Rapids, but often it is

Oregon grows turkeys on the U Hip

In the land, but an Oreganlan in San
Francisco does not find them adver

the labels, all the cranberries in the

In order that they may get credit
for their good work, Oregon manu
facturers should Insist that their
goods be sold as made in Oregon,
both by the wholesaler and retailer
outside this state. Producers of Ore
gon fruit, grain and other crops,
should make the same stipulation,
lest other states trade on the good
name won by the excellence of Ore
gon products. Not many years ago a
London fruit merchant had never
heard of Oregon prunes, though he
certainly was selling many of them
under the California label. Let us
be sure that this does not happen
with regard to the great cargoes of
Orecon apples now exported.
