The City Transfer SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES Are the Best Recommendation of OREGON LEAST ADVERTISED STATE IN UNION Great Exposition Will Focus Eyes of World on This Section oí Northwest 4 The 1925 exposition will le ad vet Used and known as ita Oregon exposition, despite the fact that Portland al>>..e «ill i>e taxed foi the financial part of the fair, Decision to this effect as a final definite policy has been reached by ths committee in charge of tlie cam Pkigti now being waged to gain support of the voters of the state u ., ....ik'-.tizzzc;; t > ji me < uii>i ltm ion at Ait- election on November 6 so as to permit Portland to tax itself tor the exposition. In leaching this decision the committee took into account that Oregon is now the least advertised state in the union, while it has scenic advantages and industrial and agricultural opportunities that cannot be excelled anywhere. Feeling that some big comprehen sive move to bring Oregcu into the p bile eye is necessary the «world's exposition was declated to be the best method of starting the ball rolling. “Oregon has talked about adver tising and done nothing,” the com mittee report states, "while Cali fornia has developed by leaps and bounds simply because that state has taken advantage of advertising and the entire world has been ini-, pressed. Tourist travel in Californ ia alone is worth millions each yeai to the state. “The exposition will do for Ore gon what advertising has done for California and it is to the advan tage of every part of Oregon to unite behind the Oregon exposition and permit Portland to stage it.” O.
