counties can come in with a fine

plan has Increased the number of
exhibiting counties from thirteen
to twenty." O
The plan followed this year Is
the same as has been used In the
Pacific Livestock Exposition. It
was proposed in a resolution to
the state fair board by the Asso
ciation of Exhibitors, of which Mr.
Carrel is secretary, with the
unanimous endorsenifnt of the as

This is according to an official

promulgation of political propa

Oregonlan:
"This misuse of the office of
state market agent confirms the
opinion expressed at the time of
Its creation, that It would be used
for political purposes, would confer
no benefit on the producer and
would waste public funds. It has

There Is no need of any such office,
no useful function It could perform,
except perhaps to regulate a little
more the already over-regulated
