' " SPRINGFIELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY S, 1915. DIVIDING UP THE HONORS "Eugene will continue to be represented at the San Francisco exposition by E. M. Warren, in the opinion of members of the promotion board of the Commercial club, who last night designated V. D. Callison, formerly of the Eugene Loan & Savings Bank, to make a personal canvass of Lane county in an effort to raise the necessary fund." Opening paragraph of half-column article in Wednesday's Eugene Daily Guard. The Guard's article goes on to state that Mr. Callison will visit all sections of the county, and wherever there are commercial organizations, representatives of these will be asked to assist in the canvass for funds. Continuing, in a quotation from an unnamed member of the Eugene club, it is stated that Eugene has received between 400 and 500 in quiries from people Mr. Warren has talked to at San Fran cisco. Several months ago the Springfield Development League along with other commercial organizations in the county, re ceived a letter from the Eugene Commercial club asking co operation in the raising of a fund to send Mr. Warren to San Francisco. A committee from Springfield met with a com mittee of the Eugene club to talk over the matter and to find out the plan of operation. If it were to be county-wide in its scope, Springfield felt disposed to help; if the plan called for the promoting of Eugene's interests alone, Springfield did not see its way clear to join, and it was to have a definite understanding that Springfield sent this delegation. Satis factory assurances were made at that time, that the whole county was to be represented. The committee was shown copies of the Willamette Valley booklet, which, it was stated, was to. be the only literature given out in the Valley exhxibit that none of the individual towns or counties were to be allowed to give out literature. At the same time the matter of contribution was dis cussed and upon a basis of population it was agreed that Springfield's fair share would be the payment of Mr. War ren's salary for one month $135. Eugene and Springfield were each to endeavor to raise their portions, together with what was raised by other communities of the county. No money was raised at-any point for this purpose, and an appeal was made to the county court. Again Eugene asked the as sistance of the outside communities, and Springfield, together with Cottage Grove and Creswell, sent a delegation before the county court. No funds are available from this source, and now it is back to individual subscriptions if Mr. Warren is to be kept at San Francisco, and Eugene is asking the help of the county at large. At the meeting of the Springfield Development League Tuesday evening, the matter was discussed, and it was de cided that it was for the best interests of Lane county to keep a live man at the fair. Within a few minutes seven sub scriptions of $2.50 each were made, payable 50c a month, and initial payments were made. Springfield is ready and is al ready doing its share, aid wants to see Lane county repre sented at the exposition.

PORTLAND, OUECON Eugene In times past has called on Springfield for as sistance and has received It. A few years ago over $100 was raised in Springfield for repairs to the McKonzie highway. The Eugene newspapers do not take any particular pains to mention Springfield's location on that road. Two years ago an organization in charge of the Fourth of July celebration in Eugene came to Springfield and promised, if Springfield would go there that year, it would come to Springfield the following year. Last year Springfield prepared a celebration and so did Eugene. Actions,, you know, speak with a very loud voice. The report in the Guard makes the statement that 400 to 500 inquiries have come to 'the Eugene Commercial club on account of Mr. Warren's interviews with interested vis itors at the Exposition. So far as known, Springfield has re ceived no inquiries. Eugene has provided Mr. Warren with blank postals, requesting literature, and these are signed by interested persons. If Springfield is entitled to have cards of this sort distributed, then the failure to have calls for literature is Springfield's, and there is to ground for com plaint at the number who are being directed elsewhere. If Eugene puts up the money and) the literature, she is entitled to all the glory; if she asks and receives the help of the other communities, she should be fair and divide the results. Right now when Eugene is asking help, and Springfield, seeing the many benefits that can come from co-operation in county representation at San Francisco, is disposed to help, now, we say, is a very good time to impress upon the news papers of Eugene that when they speak for Eugene they are their own judges of what to say, but when they assume to speak for Lane county, they should not slight any community in the county. If Mr. Callison will bring tv?o or three newspaper men in contrite captivity, and a representative delegation of Eugene business men, when lie comes' to Springfield, we will prob ably be able to talk business in terms of ready cash. "A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW." Editorial in this Morning's Register. "The members of the Springfield Development league deserve commendation for their prompt response to the ap peal for funds to keep a Lane county representative at the exposition in San Francisco. Their action Is evidence that the Springfield league is determined to do its full share in the important work of bringing to Lane county the farm popula tion that is needed if we are to realize the development to which we are entitled because of our great latent resources. The example that has been set at Springfield ought to be followed by the Cottage Grove Commercial club, the Cres well Commercial club, the Junction City Commercial club, the Florence Commercial club and every other commercial organization in the county. I ought to be followed by all the granges and all the other organizations that are working to make Lane county greater an'd moro prosperous. If thiB were done the fund would soon be raised and no one would have contributed more than he could afford. The facts are simply these: The exposition at San Francisco is a gathering place, for people from all over the United States and a very large number of these people are farmers. Interest in Oregon is keen because of tho splendid record that has been made by this state, and all the repre sentatives of Oregon counties are kept busy answering the questions. Practically all the other yillamette valley coun ties are permanently represented, but Lane county will be without representation from now on unless this fund is raised We cannot afford to be unrepresented. Wo cannot afford to .neglect such an opportunity to'ihcrcasti our farm population. whether Springfield would be a very heavy contributor to make it possible for "Eugene to continue to bo represented at the San Francisco exposition . . . Perhaps the statement in the Guard's opening paragraph was the work of a careless reporter, allowed to slip into the paper by an over-worked editor. It may not represent tho attitude of the businss interests of Eugone, and again it niny be just the unconscious expression of the usual habit of mind, just as profanity will slip from the profane man's Hps under conditions when it would not be expected. Promises and assurances are delightful to hear, but the thing that counts is the action. If the newspaper statements, that go out to the world at large, are at variance with tho words of the committee conference, the newspaper attitude is very likely to be taken as the true one.
