The fig h t is really over the fair for It has been announced th a t If th ere is no tax th e re can be no fair. The directors w ill not attem pt to raise so large a sume by private subscription. The financial plan of the fa ir is as follows: Of the six million dollars to be raised one m illion will be raised by private subscription In P ortland. Two m illion more w ill be raised by taxation in P ortland. The other three m illion will be raised by sta te wide taxation. Of the sta te wide tax P ortland pays about a th ird nr one million. Thus P ortland alto g eth er pays four m illion dollars and the rest of the sta te pays two million dollars. P ortland has about one th ird of th e w ealth of the sta te so If th e rest of the sta te paid In propor tion it would pay eight m illion t< P o rtlan d 's four or four tim es w hat it is asked to pay. • t T he financial plan Btrikes us as being fair. P ortland will get most of the benefit and will pay most of the expenses. The rest of the sta te will benefit and will pay in propor tion. The Herald hopes th a t the fair w ill receive the approval of the peo ple. It realizes th a t the financial burden Is hard to bear a t the presen I tim e, but afte r all the question Is w hether It will be w orth to the state outside of Portland the two m illions It will cost and we believe It wll. A w orld's fair here In 1925 will b rin g m illions of dollars to the state. The eyes of the nation w ill be on Oregon. “ Oregon 1926,” now the official slogan of the fair by the way, w ill be on every Up. The advertis ing value will be enormous. Many thousands of visitors will be brought to the sta te and many w ill locate here. The effect on property val ues Is bound to be considerable. The money th a t will be spent by tourists through Herm iston In 1925 will much more than pay w hat Herm iston will have to pay for the fair we an sure. So we hope the fair will carry. I t ’s am ong those th in g s w hat h ad n ’t ought to be done. T hanksgiving comes next week and you’ve got a lot to be th a n k fu l for afte r all.
