FAIR DRAFT Bill

Though unfathered and! unindorsed by
the Multoomah delegatlo. the proposed
amendment txtl the state , constitution,
drarted and presented. as ' a 'tentative
"basis for 1925 exposition legislation, will
, be introduced, at the special session by
K. K. KubM. chairman of the joint dele-
gation. But the proposed amendment
win not to before the jjegislature as
a delegation measure, er with the in
dorsement of the delegation. It will be
Introduced In the house, where' all
revenue measures originate, by Kubli
"by request," as the suggestion of the
committee which so far has had charge
of the preliminary efforts of Us pro
motion, '"" ' '
AMESDME2JT CONSIDERED
The proposed amendment providing
for the appointment of aj commission of
13 chosen by. the governor, eve rrom
each congressional dlstrict-was dis
cussed by the Joint legislative delegation
, which met last night at the Chamber
of Commerce and in which meeting the
fair commission had . been invited to
participate. .
The proposed amendment was read in
full, and then taken up for discussion
- 'section by section, and it began to bomp
the bumps right from the start. The
proposed amendment provides for
commission of 13. appointed by the gov
ernor. The proponents of the fair have
' gone on the theory that the exposition
should be managed by a corporation
formed under authority of the state and
given power to do those things necessary
in putting the big show ever. , This cor
poratlon was to go out land collect the
1 1.000.000 of private subscriptions, which
is to be one contingency upon which
the $2,000,000 vote by the city Is to
. beoome available. j
STGOESTIOXS ARE MADE
The objection was made to the pro
posed amendment that I the commission
would create a division of authority.
Different members of the delegation in
sisted that there would be various bills
- and proposals submitted to the legis
lature, that the up-state members would
.have their own ideas to present and
. that the Multnomah members ought to
be free to consider all suggestions and
finally to get behind the best.
finally the delegation, after listening
fo a full general, discussion, adjourned
. the joint meeting and; went into execu
v tive session. At this i session it was
decided that Chairman tCubll should in
troduce the proposed amendment as the
request of the fair commission, but
. without indorsement, direct or tacit, of
the delegation. In other words the dele
gation agreed to lay the proposal before
. the legislature merely as a suggested
basis for discussion.
FAIB IS INDORSED; i ,
. The delegation, however, declared its
' support of the 1925 exposition idea by a
- unanimous vote. It Is for the fair, but
It does not want to go to Salem .with
' " a bill In its pocket, holding to the theory
as it does that the: exposition is a
project In which the state as a whole
. has a vital Interest and therefore should
" be given full opportunity to join in
" formulating a plan generally acceptable
. j to all sections of the state.

TAP AGREEMENT DECLARED
V. S. DIPLOMATIC TICTOET i
By J. W. T. Masos ;
(Written for the United Press) .
The Tap agreement is another victory
for American diplomacy and at the same
time is evidence of the desire of Japan
to make concessions for preserving inter
national good will in the Pacific.
The Japanese government not only has
played fair with the United States, but
has been generous In its acceptance Of
changed conditions since the Paris peace
conference.
Japan has even consented to making
the prohibition amendment of the Amer
ican constitution applicable to the na
tives of Tap. Nothing could show more
good will on the part of a foreign nation
than the acquiesce nee ia America's latest
doctrine.
Japan's proprietary Interest in Tap
under the mandate grant of the allies
is not disturbed officially by the new
agreement. But unofficially. Japan per
mits America to become a silent partner,
without executive rights, though with
interests akin to a shareholder.
Japan's consent to the clause formally
granting to America a copy of the
Tokio government's reports on Tap is
further recognition of .America's stock
holder status, i .
It is a significant fact that the first
Pacific settlement after the announce
ment of the four-power treaty has been
made with such a spirit of friendship.
It means that the new diplomacy in the
Pacific is taking the direction of amity
instead of enmity.
