A complete cheeTcintr of the contribu
tions received up to late yesterday at
the office of Ben Selling, treasurer for
the Jewish relief fund committee, re
veals the fact that the contributions
total $S844.2S. Mr. Selling had no way
Friday of determining the exact amoun
of conributions, and his estimate
1 10.000 on hand is expected to be sur
passed by far before the close of the
campaign.
The amount now on hand has been
raised, not through personal soiicita
tions on the part of members of, the
committee, but more than 500 men,
women and children have walked into
the office of Ben Selling, treasurer of
the relief fund, during the past few
days, making all contributions volun'
tarily.
Contributions have come from rich
and poor alike, and when money has
been scarce and the willingness to give
lias been present. Jewelry and family
heirlooms have been sacrificed to tho
charitable inclination.
Contribution Time Extended.
It has been decided to extend the
time for receiving contributions until
the end of the week so that those who
have thus fur found it inadvisable t
make contributions will have full op-
portunitv to do so.
Mr. Selling yesterday said that the
contributions were just beginning to
come in as they should, and he hoped
by the end of the week that the share
of Portland to the relief of the war
stricken Jews would be double what
the fiarure is to date.
In explaining why the time has been
extended for the receipt or contriDU
tions Mr. Selling has this to say:
"There are plenty of good people ii
the world and Portland has its full
proportion of them. While many have
given generously there is still a large
number of well-to-do persons who
have overlooked this appeal or have
postponed their giving.
Outsiders Asked to Aid.
"For the first time in 50 years I am
asking non-Jews to help my people
and find justification in so doing in
Bishop Hanna's speech in San Fran
cisco the other night reading:
" "In behalf of our Jewish citizens
and in behalf of their brethren, be it
said that they always have been in the
forefront of movements for public and
private charities. My own opinion is
that when the European war is over,
and when the world begins to take
record and to call off the effects, in
desolation, in the disruption of fami
lies. In moral and physical wrecks, and
when the degrees of responsibility have
been determined and placed, it will be
found that the Jews are the least
guilty and the worst BUfferers.1

already received by Mr. Selling follows:

BOOTH ACTION APPROVED
Writer Says State Fair Presidency
Is Not Important.
PORTLAND. Jan. 29. (To tho Ed
itor.) Why all thia hue and cry about
the resignation of Mr. Booth from the
State Fair presidency? Why not let
him peacefully resign - and put Into
practice his preaching's of a year ago
when Mr. Meredith' resignation was
forced? At that time, he was strong
for giving; someone else a chance at the
position, and made public no other rea-
.1 10.00 eon for wishing a change. His follow
ers are now crying- "politics" and
"Withycombe machine," but why did
Mr. Booth work strenuously to put Mr.
Jones in the office of secretary and.
now that his wishes are crossed, take
his tin soldiers and go home? .
There is a long- wail iri Monday's
Journal, copied from the Boseburg
paper, eulogizing- Mr. Booth and hia
wonderful efficiency. It is too bad the
people throughout the state cannot
know of how little real Importance the
State Fair president is. He comes to
Salem a few days before the fair, stays
a few days after It is over, and comes
to the Capitol once or twice a year
for a board meeting.
The work is entirely on the shoul
ders of the secretary, who is In his of
fice the year around. It is he who
must be in touch with all the state
fairs and their attendajit associations
anck organizations, and who, therefore,
must be a man of broad ideas and pub
lic affairs.
Mr. Jones has been a farmer all his
life, and his only experience with the
public was the few weeks he served as
Representative, in which capacity he
certainly did not create any great dis
turbance. To Mr. Booth the Roseburgr
paper gives credit for the prosperity
of the fair the past six years, but
makes no mention of Mr. Meredith, who
served 365 days to Mr. Booth's 15 or 20.
They speak of the marked success of
the last fair, but fall to add that 1915
was about the only recent year in
which the weather was propitious.
And. incidentally, the weather has quite
as much to do with the fair's success
as all the boards put together. There
was a splendid county exhibit at this
last fair, bnt why not place the credit
for that where it is due? Bow many
are acquainted with the fact that a
fortnight before the opening- of the
fair Mr. Freyjag was sent for, post
haste, to leave his duties at San Fran
cisco and come to Oregon for the sole
purpose of whipping into line all but
three or four of the counties which e
hibited?
Why not acknowledge this splendid
showing- was due to the tireless ef
forts of Mr. Freytag? If Messrs. Booth
and Jones constituted such an excel
lent working- machine,--why did they
have to call for help? And, while we
are dropping- questions in the box, we
will ask if the Roseburg paper ever
heard of Mrs. .Weathtrred, and the
amount of service she has given to the
state without remuneration?
Realizing- Mr. Meredith's ability, she
worked hard for his continuancy, but
accepted the will of the board and
worked just as faithfully in the interest
of the new secretary. She, and one
other board member, appreciated Mr.
Meredith's value to the Oregon State
Fair Association, and understood the
detriment of some of Mr. Booth's so
called reforms.
It was Mr. Meredith, far more than
Mr. Booth, who brought the fair to
prosperity, hauled it out of the dregs
of financial despair, and worked and
fought and pleaded for appropriations
on which to continue and develop. Mr.
Meredith was the right man in the
right place, and his ability was recog
nized and proved in the State of Wash
ington in their anxiety to gain his
service.
I have served In the capacity of divi
sion superintendent under both secre
taries and know whereof I speak. Mr.
Meredith did not hamper the work of
his superintendents by interfering with
the details of their departments, but
was always ready with help and advice
in important matters. Mr. Jones in
sisted on the most trivial affairs being
referred to him, but where conditions
of weight were concerned we coujd
only gain his inevitable answer, "I
don't know anything" about that."
Has inability to act was probably due,
In a measure, to a dividing of the de
partments among the board members,
one of the afore-mentioned "reforms."
If Governor Withycombe sees fit to
remove Mr. Jones after one year's
service, he ' has probably acquainted
himself with conditions and feels satis
fied that it is for the best interests of
the State Fair, and Mr. Booth's resig
nation will doubtless create no dire
calamity. MRS. S. C. WALU
