Lot's Give Oregon a Chance Were there no opposition to the 1925 Exposition, we would think we were wronir, said Ira F. Powers, chairman of the campaign committee hand line the anecial tax election, in discussing that phase of the sit uation. ' Everything that was ever done for the good of Port land and Oregon has been fought tooth and nail. You want to look out for anything that goes over unanimously there must be hook in it. Why we even had to flirht disaffection here at home durinirthe war drives. But go back to the beginnings of progress here In Portland and seo what happened. It is on record that the very name of the citv was omrosed and we nar rowly escaped being christened Boston. When some progressive citi zens auirtreated it would bo we to build a bridge across the river the chronic kicker wanted to know what was the matter wit the ferry: it always had been good enough, why change When the bridge project was tackled in earnest, the objectors threw it into court. For six years the bui ding of a bridge at Alor rison street was delayed by court action. Every night, durum that time a man set out in a row boat at twilight and lighted lantern that twinkled throw: the night upon the partly com pleted pier in midstream so that river craft would not run into it in the darkness. Every morning he rowed back and put the Inn tern out to save coal oil. Dr. Woods Hutchinson late found colon bacilli, the cause typhoid fever, in the Willamette river water that Portland was using for drinking purposes am a warning was issued that a new and pure supply must be found It was HUinrcsicd that Bull Itil river, many miles away, be tapped and the water piped to the city. How the objectors stormed and jeered! lhey pooh poohed any idea of a change They even doubted that there was such thing as a typhok germ. Due to their opposition the project of bringing in Bui Bun water was delayed about two years. Of course this delay was criminal, because during that time more persons died from typhoid. But now no one is ho dull as not to appreciate that Bull Bun water is the greatest single advantage Portland has, There was a long and linn struggle when the Burnside bridge was built. The objectors raised the usual anvil chorus and declared we did not need it Again, when the Broadway bridge was proposed it was fought bitterly and the project was held up in the courts for long time. The building of the nuinicipa auditorium was delayed Severn years. When it was first propose to light the city with electn arcs a terriilc howl wont about extravagance and hjk'ih lug the money for nothing. ml The men who proposed the Co lumbia Biver Highway won a lot of kicks and ciiIVh. A Hue cropo opiositiou sprang up and it took a lot of work to overcome it lliu Tactile Highway, too, was fought bitterly by these persons who are lorever looking hack ward, Great numbers of them rose up and declared the Lewis am Clark Fair was the bunk am only a valiant handful of cour agcous men pioneered the pro ject through its earliest stages 1 doubt 11 wo would have any city here at all il the recurring groups of objectors had carriec the day. Who would want to go back to the old Knott ferry at the foot of Stark street, back to oil lamps lighting thu streets in the residence districts and only gas lights in the down town bus ineas Miction, together with al the other out-grown facilities for which the objector has a ways stood 7 Let's give Oregon a chance. Let's keep on growing. Opiiosi uition to the 11)25 Exposition is just as unreasonable as trying to keep Portland from having bridges across the river, giving it Bull Bun water and electric lights. The Exposition will, be yond a doubt, be a positive cure lor unemployment here during the next few years. Naturally we all hate taxes and we are slow to vote them. But this is a tax that will reduce taxation, as it will add to the value of all property within the state, and this ap plies to the little home on the out skirts of the city and the farm in the country as well as to the down town b justness property. Best of all, this tax will be pain- less, because it is so small in the flrBt place as to be neglible. Then it will be paid in install ments and the tirst of these will not be due until ;ii)23, or at a time wheh the imposition work will be well under way and eve ry one will be prosperous. The 1925 Exposition will do more for Oregon and every person in it than any other one thing. The reaulta of the 1905 Fair were cer tainly great and Henry E. Heed, secretary of the 1905 Fair, says the benefits of tho 1925 Exposi tlon will be fully three times as great, After a consistent record 1 HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Mr, Fletcher gave, both the first and second foot ball squads and also the yell leader and foot ball manager, a luncheon Tues day.
