Portland has reversed iKe'it" on the rata principle for which it struKKlod so long and had Eastern. Orejren , help in a fight Portland believed was just. When interior people ask for the same brand of justice for which Portland stnigo'eil ; thev laugh at r.s, talk in terms of bald hypocrisy and support iiie , railroads in a move to force injustice upon our merchants and : farmers. If in such work Portlanders feel they are friends of. East, rn Oregon then we may well ask Gml to save us from our friends. We cannot afford friendship of that stripe. The facts are that Portland is provincial and smugly re gards other sections of the state as suburbs of the metropolis. There are too many Otter heimors and Swattcnheimers down there who would build up Portland by tearing down the rest of tho state when Portland's true business is to serve itself by de veloping the state. When we tell them the truth they think we are abusing them in a spirit of narrowness. They think that if they send forth a glad hand excursion party every five or 10 years and give us a hasty handshake that they have performed wonders and that we should be their servile subjects foreVer and a day. The best interests of the rtate and of Portland demanded that there be an awakening. The special session of the legisla ture provided a fitting occasion. The calling of that special ses sion for such a purpose and at such a time was an affront not only to legislators but to the people. Portlanders could have used the initiative for their fair measure and thereby saved th taxpayers the cost of the special session. Rut they would not spend the $2000 or $3000 necessary to get their measure on the ballot by petition and 'so induced the governor to assemble the lawmakers at a time when they wanted to be nt their own fire sides and so might swallow the program in order to get awry. THE STEADFAST FOURTEEN rpHE 14 senators who at Salem stood faithful to the interests I of their constituents and thereby prevented a gross in justice from being worked upon the people of this state and upon the highway program are entitled to a place in the Oregon hall of fume. They fought a battle that has seldom lionn umiollnil in iho Viiutnrv fir' tnt li'irislntinil. It was a st I'll If- gle against heavy odds under difficult conditions but they hadut the legislature rebelled and if the courts uphold tho plain. right and justice upon their side and deserved to win. It was "waning i nmsuiuiem mo tan- measu.e u.-u not oe uu tm their determination that saved the day for the state. Editorial From The Crescent - With ere bound this store has sprung into public favor. Its Top-essiver.c.'3s U appreciated by every caller. The indomitable airoaiiin to undersell, is bound and determined to make this store a penr.ar.er.t leader among the stores of Tendleton. We're fortius to the front. We're giving the public such values as were positively unobtainable sometime ago. The value of a store is judged by the service it renders to the pt-.blb. Not only from the standpoint of a mercantile establish ment, but from the standpoint of a center of attraction as a part or a community. Of its life of its activities. The service this Store renders is not limited to selling goods for money paid, but it also takes care that its most cherished assets be selfishly safe guarded from blemish. Honesty truthful advertising, relia bility. The service we render is manifold. It is always safe to trade at the Crescent store. You can expect all of that when :ou trade here. It was wrong in principle for Portland to demand that the state as a whole bear 50 per cent of t he cost of the proposed ex position. Portland is thoroughly able to finance its own fair and by all the rules of ethics should do so because that city will reap 5)0 per cent of the benefits from the fair. The move to im pose a $:,()0(),000 tax on gasolene in order to pay for Portland's fair was in the nature of a breach of faith to the car. owners of Oregon. The gasolene tax money is pledged to the highway fund and that is where it should be used. It would be a mon strous injustice to force every man who has a flivver to pay tri bute in order that merchants, hotel magnates and realty specu lators in Portland might reap huge profits. The car owners of the state are already paying high license fees and high prices for gasolene. Why should they bo further burdened to finance an enterprise in which they Mould not be the beneficiaries. The answer is that the fair promoters dare not ask for a property tax or an income tax because the men representing property and in- oauoi at me primary election, ine special session was a nas'-o as far as the fair is concerned and the blame is upou the gover nor and his Portland friends. The one bright spot about; it al' I was the stand of th:i 14 senators who refused to lie bulldozed into betrayal of their constituents. As to the claim that Port land wont hold a fair nn'oss the state bears half the expense, that is baby talk and may be disregarded. Portland expects to tret several hundred million dollars out of the fair. If with sii"h hopes in sight it. is unwilling to finance the fair it does not de serve an exposition. m AGO fro., I.a ;ranle. l-XH'KTKKX AltK KIIXKD MKs (ierahliti' lvspaln came honu MON'KOK, kln., Dec. 24.-t-(A- I.) for the holklays this nioniitiK from f Fourteen were kUltd by a tornudi Portland, where she has been attend- 1 louay near Here. hiK SI.
