The action of the State Legislature in
providing for a county fair fund i* cau­
sing considerable agitation among the
fair advocate* of the county. The Mul­
tnomah County Fair Association has
been hoping for some state or county
assistance »nd a committee of director*
beaded by A. F. Miller, called Monday
morning upon the County Court and
put in a claim for the entire 45-00.
Their contention is that the the act re­
fer* only to county fairs, and not such
special shows as are put on bv tbe Land
Products Show people. Having been in­
corporated as the Multnomah County
Fair Association for years, tbe Gresham
people assert that they are entitled to
first and only consideration. Their at­
tention was called to the matter by a
report in The Oregonian of a call made
by a committ- e headed by C. C. Chap­
man on the County Court in the inter­
ests of the Ijind Product* Show. Thia
committee contended that it should get
tbe full amount atid that if financial
aid was to be given the Gresham fair
the county should appropriate for it di­
rectly out of county funds.
The stickler is tbe indefinite phrase,
“land pr- ducts shows,'’ in the act, the
provision being that $5<»«) shall go to
th* Livestock Show ami the balance to
“land products show«.” Mr Chapman
asserts that the legislatures meant tbe
Land Products Show and offered to get
