TITE MORNING OREGONXAN. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1921 13 ON V01G LEW H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Pres byterian church. It was explained to the Sell wood voters that there were nearly 30,000 taxpayers in the city whose assess ments were under $1000 each and that on this basis nearly 64 per cent of the property owners would be called on to pay less than 1 cent a day for three years as their portion of the special exposition tax. "Yes," or No Exposition Is ELKS PLAN FOR YULETIDE Decision of Committee. RESULT TO BE MANDATE No Practical Alternative Plan for Finance Offered, Says Chair man Ira F. Powers. "Yes," November 19, or no exposi tion! Definite decision was made by the Oregon 1925 exposition campaign committee yesterday to go down the line for the 12.000.000 special tax measure on that platform and no other. Conference after conference was held during laBt week and during the day yesterday, and it was the uivited sentiment of the large group of prom inent business men who are backing the exposition project that the pub lic must be given to understand that the special city election a week from Saturday will be an ultimatum to the committee. That If the tax measure Is approved they will go ahead pre pared to launch a still more vigorous and Intensive statewide campaign for the (3,000.000 tax measure next spring. But, If the vote on the tax proposition is adverse the plan to continue agitating for an exposition In 1925 will automatically die. Tote to Be Mandate. "We have weighed the matter with the utmost candor and with the best Judgment at our command," explained Ira F. Powers, campaign chairman. "and we have come to the unalterable conclusion that the vote of November 19 will be accepted as a solemn man date to the exposition organization It must be either the tax plan or no plan at all. "Scores of leading citizens have been consulted; the history of the fair Plans to date have been outlined to them; we have shown the virtual Impossibility of financing the stu pendous enterprise through private subscription alone, and our cam paign committee, our general . exposi tion board and other citizens whose Judgment we hold In high regard are all of the same mind. The exposition cannot be financed except through the special tax plan which has been ap proved so strongly by the leading men of Portland and .representative citi zens of every section of the state. Organization to Bland Put. "Many persons seem to have the idea we are bluffing when we say: 'No tax. no exposition,' but we are not, and we want to serve notice here and now that our campaign organiza tion will stand pat on that platform. "It may be well to state, also, that we have sought to find someone who could present to us a practical alter native plan for financing the exposi tion and. so far, not a single plan has been presented to us that appeared to have the slightest chance in the world of supplanting successfully the spe cial tax plan. "We have, therefore, issued instruc tions to our entire staff of workers, to our speakers' bureau, to all aux iliaries, to our general publicity staff, that the public must understand ex actly where we stand: No tax, no ex position." ' FAIIl I(F.LD BIG OPPORTUNITY Gold Will Flow Into Oregon, Says Travel Representative.

"Our association Is the largest of its kind in America," continued Mr. ltlchards "and has more to do with crystallizing the western spirit than anything else. Horn In the great state of New York, the association looks to the west for Its Inspiration. It was through this society that the national parks of America received a great stimulus, according to Stephen T. Mather, national park director. 'Your 1925 exposition is an oppor tunity for the west. No question about Its success because the people of America win cpme, now that the highways are paved, and learn for the first time bow great and beauti ful the northwest is. The people will come from. Kurope anS) European gov ernments will exhibit if the rightful invitation is extended. "I cannot conceive of a better way to Increase your population than to Invite the people to a great peace demonstration. From an educational point of view It will be worth more than the capital you put In. From a to-operative opportunity it will teach your business men to work togetLer. From a social side It will attract the finest America produces and leave a stream of gold In your state. From an Industrial standpoint It will set your state ahead SO years over Its normal growth."

Prospects Declared Never Better for Party Success and Harding Is Thought One-Termer. Dr. J. W. Morrow, democratic na tional committeeman for Oregon, re turned home yeaterday filled with op timism for the future of his party. He attended the special meeting of the committee and admits that he heard very little favorable comment among- hi fellow democrats regarding- the republican administration. 'Things never looked better for democratic success than they do now," asserted the doctor. "The democrats are sitting pretty and the people are getting so disgusted with the repub lican way of doing things that the democrats have fine prospects three years hence. "And Harding, well, he's a one termer. The only- man the repub licans have who stands a ghost of a show of being elected Is Hughes, and It Is doubtful whether he will be In the cabinet until the end of President Harding's term. Democratic material? Well, I don't know. It'a too early to make any predictions, but if the nominations were due right now the logical man would be McAdoo. "People are wakening up to the extravagance of the republican ad ministration. Look what they've done to the federal reserve. Th federal reserve was created to help the peo ple, but the republicans ar taking W50 a month clerk and giving sjiem sal aries of $10,000 a year o that the surplus which the reserve is making can be used up. And look what they did to the soldiers' bonus.' "Did the democratic national com mittee find anything good In the re publican administration?" the doctor was asked. "No, sir-ee!" was the emphatic reply. "Wasn't it a democratic meet ing?" Chairman Hull, the new democratic leader, has the -approval of the Ore gon committeeman,- and the doctor says that Chairman Hull "is a bear." The committee really would like to go outsld the committee to pick a chair man, but the national convention at San Francisco adopted a' resolution which limits aelectioir"f the chair man to a member of the cotnmittee.
