TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 20 NEXT FAIR OBJECT BIG MHUGE VOTE Exposition Boosters Want .Strong Indorsement. - LEGISLATURE MUST ACT Jnlins Sleler Says larger Vote for Tax the More Weight Oregon's Im itation W ill Have. To obtain the largest registration In the history of the state and the largest vote favoring the financial plan for the 1925 exposition is the nr-xt 'objective for the project, for which a state-wide conference here Thursday decided- there should be to. 000,000 raised by taxation There must be a special session of the legis lature to pass necessary laws lor the calling of -a epecial election to provide legal means of obtaining the fund's and, in the last analysis, the people must decide the issue. Such is the gist of a statement made yesterday afternoon by Julius L. Meier," who was elected Thursday to be permanent chairman of the state organization having the exposition in hand. Mr. Meier said that; with-such a vote, it would mean the heartiest possible lnvitat'on of the people of the entire state to the people of the world, to come here and visit and will assure thera of the sincerity of the state's welcome. Large "Vote' Desirable. . "My idea is that the larger the Tote for the millage necessary to raise the funds for the exposition the more weight will our invitation have," eaid Mr. Meier. "We want the whole state to get Into action on this sub ject as they have never done before, and make it a huge success. When our guests begin to enter any section of Oregon they will be met by our people and will be informed of the wonders . of the various sections through which they will go, so that, from the time they come until the time they go their stay will be one big season of pleasure and Informal tion. , "The action of the state-wide con ference. In my opinion, set a new standard of activity. It will give all the people a great goal to strive for. It will bring out the best that is in the people. It . will bring a. closer relationship between each county and resurrect tangible assets that will in crease the taxable wealth of the state apd bring more people to par ticipate in the development of our industries. "It is a wonderful opportunity for Oregon. Every, resident can take a part in the exposition. The returns cannot be measured in wealth alone. The biggest asset will be unity, co operation, goon cheer all of which means prosperity and abundance of good health. "We all know that we must work hard if we wish to succeed.. Here Is our chance to do something big for the state; something magnificent for the northwest; something glorious for the nation. "The hour has arrived for Oregon to put Ha best foot forward. As soon as the delegates who attended the conference have a chance to get set tled and unfold to their constituents what the exposition really will -mean to the state at large, we will call for the selection of an executive commit tee to set the machinery in motion. "I cannot fully express my feelings of appreciation to all those who par ticipated in- making the conference a success, and) for the confidence re posed in me. but I do want the people to know that I am cognizant of the responsibility placed in my hands. Without the support of the people and the confidence of those who rep resent the state's best interest, we cannot make a success. But with the enthusiasm such as was displayed at the various meetings yesterday, and the bouyant-expressions received indorsing the exposition programme, leaves nothing more for me than to say my best effort will be given to the development of the programme as outlined, from which 6hall come a greater Oregon and a united peo ple." Grntolntory Telegrams Received. Mr. Meier yesterday received from various sections of the country many telegrams of congratulation, not only upon his election to the permanent chairmanship, but for the exposition's remarkable progress thus far and be cause of the manner in which the state-wide conference went at and completed its big task. Messages were received from vari ous coast points, including those from Gill brothers, livestock breeders of Sacramento, Cal.; Seattle and Pendle ton Chambiers of Commerce and Fred Stimson of Seattle, president of the Paoific-Intemational Livestock expo sition, to be held in Portland in No vember. "It is wonderful how the whole coast and the country, generally, is falling into line to boost the exposi tion," commented Mr. Meier. Mr. Meier yesterday received a 1 ter from the Portland branch of the Travelers' Protective association, of which Stanhope S. Pier is president, a letter saying that Colonel David M, Dunne has been named as a committee of one to arrange with the exposition management for "site No. 1 for a building of appropriate character," to represent the organization. This, of course, will have to be laid before the general board or a proper committee in due time. Plans for the special session of the legislature- are just in the formative stage. It is known one must be called, but when and under Just what circum stances, is not known. Definite plans will be worked out soon. Mr. Meier announced yesterday that he will call a meeting of the board in the near future, at which time he will lay be fore the members a tentative pro gramme. This meeting will be held in Portland. The state-wide conference Thursday adopted a resolution calling for a total of $6,000,000 with which to han dle the exposition. The plan includes the levying of a small millage for raising all but 11,000,000 of the a-mount, this beina the portion 'that rs to be sold privately in Portland. Mr. Meier yesterday reeeived' from R. W. Neighbor . & telegram from Fresno, Cal., where the Hoo Hoo con vention is being held, as follows: "A resolution, recommending that the convention be held in Portland In 10nR rtn a r frill rt t nf thn electrical exposition, was presented by GeorgeJ ju. uornwa.ii ami rnuvcu uj adoption.

Harm Is Done, .Tnsenh S. Lebb. automobile dealer. took exception to the statement of D. G. Curtis on the witness stand yes terday to the effect that Lebb's repu tation was not of the best, expressing his indignation by swinging wildly at Curtis as soon as Circuit Judge Kav anaugh's court adjourned for the noon recess.. Curtis countered with a lett to the jaw which was blocked by Lebb. Ringside reports indicated that only one blow connected, the fighters being parted from a clinch before real damage ensued. The decision was awarded Curtis, Rpferee Kavanaugh plastering a fine of $25 on Lebb-at the conclusion of the brief mill and later deciding the case against Lebb and his brother, D. G. Lebb. Up to a late hour last night the fine had not been remitted, as is the general practice of local courts in contempt incidents. The case was that of Frank Waller against D. G. Lebb and J. S. Lebb and was a replevin action involving an automobile which both plaintiff and defendants claimed. Curtis, who was formerly general manager of the Western Financing company, was called by the plaintiff as a character witness, testifying that J. S.
