WHAT IT'S FOR TUS OEEGON COMMISSIOK CAN CPEJiD TIES MONET TO AD ' 5 VEETISE OREGON. fie Attorney General Eepliea to Quer t"ies of President Jefferson Myers of the Lek Clark-Fair The State Exhihit Should Be Complete in Every particular. . Hob. Jeffersor-JMyT presi.lent of jjjwi9 anl Wars Centennial Kx po sition Commission, baa been in tnnie J.jubt as io what the jxiwers of bis torn pission encompass?! Id the : matter of tie expenditure of the state funds, and las submitted the question -to Attorney General Crawford -for his legal opinion is the matter. A the Attorney Gener al' opinion is full of interest it is giv es. Mr. Crawford paid: "Replying to yours of reeent date questing my opinion as to whether it is the dnty of the commission to make a full and complete exhibit-of all the re sources of the state at the Lewis and Clark Exposition to be beM in'lortl4nl io 1905, permit me to say that puljrie funds ran be appropriated by the Legis lature only for a public nse. The object for wbfch the appropriation is made 'west tend in some wajrtw promote the yenral welfare of the state. On no t.ther principle can such appropriations j! sustained. The ' Supreme Court of California and other states hava,so de ehle. -TKe art of creating the commis sion recognizes that 'principle. Section 1 requires the commission to nol'l "An exposition of -arts, industries, manufac tuns, and the products of the rivers, r,il, mines, forest- and- sea and by means of said exhibition to benefit the per. pie of the state- ofOregon by way of the adrertinement and levelopment of its agricultural, horticultural, miner al, lumber, manufacturing, shipping, el urational and other resource of sai 1 state." "Subdivision of section 5 of said act also expressly directs the commission to encourage, secure and promote a full and complete exhibition of 'the arts, iahistries)nianufactures and products of the rivers, soil, mines, forest and sea.' This all relates to the state of Oregon as shown by reference to sec tion 1 of this act, and the portion, above qnoted. .' "There is no Oouldrin my mind that it is the duty of "the commission to make as full and complete an exhibit (.f all the resources of the state at the l'Mi't Fair in Portland as the funds at the committee's disposal) for that pur pose will permit. "As to the commission . preparing publications advertising the resources of the state, to be distributed at the Fair,-; I Jn of the opinion that -it is a matter restinsr wholly in the cood jmls- nieut of the commission. Advertise ment of " the resources of the state is eeVtainlyi within its authority, and the time, quantity and quality of the same must be left to the sound discretion of the commission.' - , CASTORIA For Infants and Children.
