BACK TO THE BEGINNING fVaa official' count of tha rote of A Portland on tha.lIZS exposition is: ror. Z7.1II: against. 6(84. The majority was more than 4 to 1. Tnia la an official decision aa to whether Portland wants tha citmmi. Uon. It was an emphatic approval of me pian. Opponents made a strong fight against it. If thera had h.n a full t vote, doubtless the proportion- ai majority would nave been as large or larger, for It Is a safe as sumption that if the stay-at-homes naa Deen against the plan they would have gone to the polls. It waa a proposition for Portland to spend f4.000.000 on the fair 12,000,000 by direct appropriation, $1,000,000 from the proposed state wide tax levy and $1,000,000 by con tribution. The expenditure was to be but $2,000,000 short of the proposed total cost. It would be but $1,000,000 less than the amount required if the cost of the exposition were limited at $5,000,000. Remembering the fig ures of the vote by which the expo sition was indorsed with Portland to pay $4,000,000, nobody can doubt that the people here would, on any reasonable arrangement, ote over whelmingly to bear the entire cost. If we voted to ourselves finance the exposition, there would be no further war on Portland. If by su perior numbers and by superior campaigning we undertake to com pel unwilling upstate people to help pay for the cost, the war on Portland will go on indefinitely and go on bit terly. In the end the plan might be defeated and the exposition have to be abandoned. We saw in the legislature some thing of the opposition to state-wide financing. We did not see it all. We, saw enough to realize that the governor had to veto the special elec tion, and that proposals for the ex position, after a special legislative session, are now exactly where they began. The Journal Is reprinting a few of the expressions from upstate newspapers. This is not done in op position to the plan, but as the only means of making Portlanders under stand a little of the nature and ex tent of the outside opposition. It is the best way to get an understand ing of the situation, and if we get a full understanding of the situation we shall know' better how to proceed. Hero Is something to think about: Every legislator who opposed the fair at the late epeclal session will endeavor to Justify his course In the coming election. If again a candi date, he will make opposition to the exposition a campaign issue. Men of experience know the deadly ef fect of such campaigns upon the for tunes of the fair. L A property tax cannot be passed. The gasoline tax and costly license tax make automobile owners build the highways and pay for most of the exposition. It frees the rail roads from paying a single cent, and the railroads will be among the heav iest beneficiaries of the exposition. If Portland negotiated with them as a beginning for a stock company to help finance the fair, would, the roads be greedy enough not to make heavy contributions? Here is the point: After several months of planning, after a special session of the legislature, after a spe cial election in Portland, after ac tion by the Portland city council and after a whirlwind pre-election drive on the city in behalf of the exposi tion, we axe exactly where we began. May It not be that some of us have been wrong in our conclusion? May there not be another and better way than that which some of us have thought was the only way? Something ought to come from the patriotic and progressive work done by President Meier and his associates. In that behalf. The Journal seeks in the foregoing to have everybody see all sides of the Issue. If Portland went ahead to finance the fair herself, does anybody doubt that the upstate .would not In the end, as a result of that broad nur. pose, rally to her support If a time came when help was needed? CHARITY OVERHEAD f I1UH " I . m . . uimuww di cnaray is a bug bear which the Community Chest wwuiiien aa n prepares ror its sec ond Portland campaign.

The overhead of charity is the overhead of any other business secretarial, clerical and stenographic service. In Portland it' runs from even to ten per cent, dependent upon the .agency.

The area of ab solute desert land .Is approximately the same. Some! 850,000,000 acres are in farms or are susceptible of be ing farmed, with about 100,000.000 acres classified as Improved lands. The irrigable area of the West ap proximates 80,000,000 acres. 'These are convenient figures to jknow In any discussion of the nation's basic resources. i. i 1 ' THE VA1VOR OF IGNORANCE i TJEFRBSHING Indeed Is the other A-' fellow's-point of view land, in sofar aa it la the daily mission of the newpaper to turn the searching light of publicity Into divers places, it should not object when in turn the light is turned upon it, as is the case in the' Atlantic Monthly for January. " j This Issue of that venerable maga zine contains two' articles on news paperdom. In "The Daily Press," Mr. Moorfield Storey, who we are told be gan his career as secretary to Charles Sumner and is identified as a leader of the Boston bar, handles ! his sub jectln an unpleasant frame! of mind and concludes that, unless 1 newspa pers shall exclude from their col umns 'the matter that appeals to the lowest prejudices and j passions of their readers, i -Jwe shall learn to regard a free press, not, as a priceless boonf but aa a necessary evil." j The second article, "Newspapers and the Truth," is by Frederick Al len, formerly with the Atlantic -and Century and now In charge of the publicity work for Harvard1 univer sity. He says the high calling of newspaper work is practiced all too frequently by low persons. Both articles doubtless are -conceived in good fath and yet to the experienced newspaper worker one 4a academic .and. the other sopho morlc. Much that both writers al lege has a good measure jof truth, but as effective Indictments against the daily press they fall ito carry conviction. ' Mr. Storey complains that scandal has no place In newspapers. Doubt less the majority of newspaper edi tors would agree with him on that point. Certainly no reputable news paper relishes carrying accounts of odorous doings, but if by such publi cation reform can be accomplished through an aroused public! opinion, then such publication Is j Justified. Here is a case in point, jit is not pleasant to read of the horfible suf fering of the poor souls in j Portland who are drug addicts, and yet Is their suffering relieved an atom by keep ing the facts from the public? Is not the surest way of providing a remedy for the drug evil an' intelli gent public discussion of jit? Mr. Storey further cemplafcs of the tendency of the newspapers to UDset the halance of international comity- oy qjscusslon in their columns of the next war. Is there any better In surance against the next war than a thorough review of world events and international relations in the daily press, together with a genuine education of the people through newspaper discussion of what the next war would mean? The part played by the newspapers In the World war is sufficient refutation of this charge. Further, Mr. Storey observes that "worn-out Jokes" and "hideous col ored pictures" and "page after page devoted, to sports" are without justi fication. This he would eliminate in the Interest of intelligent discus sion of economic issues, such as tax- axion. etc. or course, the latter field Is amply covered by every well-balanced newspaper, and It is only well balanced in that it takes cogni zance of the taste of its readers for a bit of entertainment 4?d therefore carrier comics and other features. What would a nation he and what would a people be without athletic sports? Who but a handful of ath letes from Athens and Sparta held the Persian hordes back and saved western civilization at Marathon and Thermopylae? How long would it take a people to go crazy if fed alto gether on a mental diet of taxation ? Mr. Allen's indictment! of the press proceeds along different Shea. He charges most newspaper , inac curacy to the "ignorance, I careless ness and thoughtless -Indifference to the truth of a considerable'; propor tion of newspaper men." of course, this isn't true, but one could not ex pect Mr. Allen's magazine' training to have taught him that-the-fundamental sources of newspapers inac curacies which every i honest. minded newspaper man 4 deplores are the extreme haste with, which the newspaper is prepared " And the reticence of many people to give In formation. ... . . . , . For example, John Jones Is the source) of Information on given topio that. Is legitimate news. TJpon being interviewed he either Is Impa tient with the reporter or, because of his thorough knowledge of tho subject, assumes .that the reporter follows him precisely In his more or less random sketch of the matter at Issue.,. The reporter is pressed for time, for editions, like time and the tides, wait for no man, and in con sequence a more or less garbled ac count may result; -And the maddest reader Is liable to be John Jones, who contents himself, like Mrl Allen, with railing at newspaper Inaccuracy and absolving himself entirely of any responsibility therein. f Mr. Allen makes another observa tion concerning editors and reporters that should be taken charitably, it is, they put their jobs first and the truth second." - How 'puerile. His remedy and he does try to be constructive is that the press can better discharge its responsibil ity by, a, more deliberate effort to secure. . men of . education and dis crimination as. reporters." What a gross Ibel on that legion of news paper workers who carry on year in and year out with a spirit of un selfish devotion that the world may know about itself.? Self-effacement is their creed, and the gratification that comes from a news article well written their greatest reward. And to them Mr. Allen's suggestion is ig norant Impudence. Then he suggests the formulation in more definite terms of a code of newspaper ethics, whatever that may mean. And. finally the creation "of Independent news agencies at Impor tant centers, such as Washington, to send out unprejudiced reports End thus serve as a check upon the es tablished press associations and the regular Washington correspondents." And what race of super-men would he draw upon to conduct these agen cies? For. even newspaper men will admit human fallibility as willingly as they resent with indignation Mr. Allen's implication that such Inac curacies as exist under the present plan of gathering news are delib erate. Such Is the valor of Ignorance." PORTLAND PULPITS TOURING the past four or five years theolpgy as expounded In Port land has received Impetus from a rather unusual number of new, fine personalities in local ministry. Dr. Boyd has come and gone, but the standard he set in pulpit elo-J quence and in community service re mains. Dr. Pence, Dr. Bowman and Dr. MacCluer form a trio of unusual ability among the Presbyterians. Dr. Hinson and Dr. Riley among the Baptists, Dr. Stansfleld and Dr. Gal lagher among the Methodists and Dr. Edward Constant among the Con gre rationalists may, all be Included with the newer men whose contri bution to1 - the spiritual vitality iof Portland- is beyond any possible measure of lvalue. Others doubtless should be added to the more: recent valiants of the Cross. " Though a young man, Ralph Mc Afee is laying the foundation of commendable service. in his work as secretary of the Portland Council of Churches.. It Is interdenominational and intersectarian' effort' expressive of what to the layman seems one of the finest modern Impulses in re ligion. A minister is subject, along with other servants of the publio good, to the occasional feeling that his blows make small dents In the brazen shield of evil, and that what repre sents to him painful sacrifice Is neither recognized nor appreciated. He is entitled to know that more thousands of eyes are turned upon him than he is conscious of. Boot leggers, narcotic vendors, despoilers of womanhood and other mottled members .of the international league of sin fear his outstanding integrity and would rejoice at his downfall. The outcry that arises, perhaps loud est among the spiritually careless, when administer makes a slip but emphasizes the reliance placed upon the majority who do not slip and, further, upon the faith that is un marrable by human fallacy. It is depressing to imagine what would happen to that nlultltude of us who rarely look within church doors if the churches and what they represent were not there. IN THE DINING CAR TfWO passengers on one of the Northern overland trains sat down to breakfast. Neither had done much recent traveling. Both had p re-fortified themselves against the expectation of surviving war prices for food. But the menu placed before them suggested rolled oats or stewed prunes and hot cakes with butter and maple syrup and coffee, tea or milk for 35 cents. For 10 cents more they could have muffins, rolls or toast, or sliced oranges. The most expensive breakfast they could buy, including, with the articles men tioned, bacon, eggs and omelets, was $1. When the rolled oats, prunes and griddle cakes arrived, each dish was found to be of quality such ss a man buys for his own home. The por tions were generous. It Is quite evident that, in some respect at least, the railroads have forgotten there was a war. Reduced food prices.' together with abolition of transportation tax, ought to en courage travel. ; Tacqma suggests the replacement of dogs on the streets with goats that will eat garbage, dropped by the careless. TThe idea is all very well so far as the garbage is concerned but what about the time when, with a couple of billy goats on the . ram page, a feller ttee a friend? , PORTLAND AND - OREGON Issues of the Recent Special Session and tha Business of TTawiy -rhoae . Issues Have Aroused Resentments. a Leading Eastern Oregon Pa r Pr Grants, But Denies that . Jealousy of Portland Is an ' Element in That Resent mentAn Interpretation of Upstate Attitude. From the Pendleton Tribune. About the only noticeably tangible re sult of spending several thousands of dollars of taxpayers' money for th t. cent special session of the state legisla- leeung mat "upstate" and Eastern Oregon and every back country hamlet has It in for Portland and that Je feud, threatens to cause a perma nent rift in the governmental and de velopmental affairs of the state. True, a talk with members from East ern Oregon impresses one that the fight over the 1925 exposition was a bitter one at Salem and the Multnomah dele gation does not. as a result, possess an over-amount of brotherly love for those who cast the 14 votes in the senate, but the idea which seems to have takes root in the majority of Interested minds, that the divergence of opinion Is drawa along lines of Jealousy and resentment. Is a mistaken one. a, a Among moat, broad-minded citizens outside of the metropolis there Is neither dislike nor distrust of Portland. A few state newspapers have probably over emphasized the "eye for an eye" theory of state progress, and eactlonal preju dices have incensed particular localities to stir up opposition to Portland on gen eral principles, and with theae few this w the basis for opposing the exposition. Such an instance is fresh in the minds of many Pendleton citizens because of the attitude "'taken by the Portland Chamber of Commerce in lndoraing tha Waliula cutoff, and it must be admitted, too, that up-state and Eastern Oregon and these back-country hamlets aome times have a Justifiable cauae to cry "hog." Portlthd Is the one large city In Oregon. The metropolis Is naturally ambitious and ao axe many smaller cities in Oregon, and so antagonisms are bound to spring up. but opposition to the 1925 fair is more deeply seated than that a a a The times, the conditions, demand in both public and private affairs tha prac tice of the virtues of economy and thrift. The conservation of capital and its use In productive enterprises are of first importance. The proposed exposition never originated in the mind of the producers of this state, the tillers of the soil, the stockmen, lumbermen and home builders. They did not propose a fair. Their minds were not concerned with public jazz dances and extravagances of this kind. Their thought Is being given to the problem of survival. Their position Is such, that only by the strictest economy, by the hardest work, by the most diligent effort, will they survive .financially. It would be well for the business men of Portland to con sider most carefully the effect on Port land if they, through the power of num bers, force a tax on the producing sec tion of the state against Its will In order that a fair may be held in Portland la 1925. Of course, anyone who wants to un load wants the fair. All the promoters want it. They welcome It aa a treat drawinr card for suckers upon whom they can unload. But it won't get the farmer any more for his wheat The people who intend to spend the balance of their lives here and will have all tha tax bills to pay, are counting the cost So long as Oregon is prosperous, pro gressive and productive, no one in Portland need fear the future. It la con ceded by the fair promoters In every address and at every meeting that taxes re now too great and that property cannot bear the burden. a The favorite argument advanced for the exposition is that tho state has too ioo great Ior W(s ppecent development . - sr- twa 0 iue exposition would not hnlM the state. No exposition every built tm Hit .jr cum), wasmngion, ldabo and Cali fornia developed fauch faster than Oregon after the 1905 exposition and Los Angeles distanced San Francisco after the 1915 exposition. The same is true of all expositiona - a a There are many way a In ''which the millions it is proposed to spend on the exposition could be used to develop Ore gon and her resources in a much more substantial manner than transitory ex position excitement Portland capital could connect up the loose ends of rail roads in Central Oregon, from Bend to Burns, to Klamath Falls, to Lakeview, to Medford, to Eugene, making possible the population of our vast inland em pire and the utilization of its resources. Portland capital could finance the flax industry and make the Willamette val ley, constructed by nature for such an enterprise, one of the world centera of me lextue industry. Portland capital could develop the millions of horsepower running to waste in our mountain streams and make Oregon attractive to Industry by an abundance of cheap power. There are a hundred almilar avenuea of development that would yield substantial and permanent returns and insure a self-supporting industrious pop ulation many times the present popula tion, that would forever assure Port land's prosperity and cost far lesa than the proposed exposition. a a a There is much up-state opposition to a tax-financed fair in 1923 more, we think, that was realized before the spe cial session was called. But it is hon est opposition, based on the sincere con viction that spending $4,000,000 for a party to which we can invite our friends ia not the thing for Oregon to do in the present state of world affairs. It is not based on dislike of Portland or Jeal ousy of Portland or belief that Portland is acting the hog. Oregon is proud of Portland and wants to see Portland grow and prosper, be cause Oregon realizes that as Portland develops into a great commercial cen ter there will be better markets, larger opportunities and greater development throughout the entire state. a a a Pendleton certainly did not like Port land's attitude upon the Wailula cut-off proposition ; this city feels that the me tropolis of Oregon should devote its time and energies to attracting Oregon trade first and to the development of Oregon first, and it realizes that for the moat part the saner element ta Portland busi ness is desirous of the same resulta At the same time. Pendleton does not wish Portland or outsiders, to feel that a feud has arisen and that henceforth Portland will pull in one direction and up-state and Eastern Oregon and the back-coun-ry hamlets in another. Such Is not the case. Opposition to the 1925 exposition t Salem last week was occasioned by a sincere conviction that an exposition would be a very unwise investment for Oregon, especially those parts of Ore gon outside of Portland, at this above all times. . , MORE 5-6- STUFF ' Hughes to the Una, let the shins 'fall where they wilt COMMENT AND ; .
