MARION COUNTY MAY
CO IT ALONE AT FAIR
Because Compelled to Raise Twice as
Much Any Other County of Valley
Action May be Taken.
COMMISSIONER TAYLOR
DISCUSSES SITUATION
Says Following Refusal of County Court
to Give Funds, 1t would Be Best
To Go Separate.

Unless more uniform system of
raising money to curtail the expenses
of preparing the Willamette valley ex.
hibit at the Panama exposition can be
devised in the near future, it is not
likely that Marion county will proceed
with its share of the work according
to both commissioners and the Marion
county court. The reason for this at
titude on the part of Marion county
is ascribed to the fact that this county
providing the appropriation system as
it is today is carried out, will be re-
quired to appropriate nearly twice as
much money as any other of the seven
counties which are to assist in preparing
the exhibit.
Up to the present time the Marion
county court has refused to recognize
the proposition placed before it and
County Judge Bushey and the county
commissioners declare that the plan not
only works hardship on this county
but compells it to support the sole in.
terests of other counties on the exhibit
list.

Commissioner Taylor Objects.

William Taylor, the chairman of the
commissioners selected by each Of the
eight valley counties to arrange for
the consolidated exhibit, and who has
prepared Oregon state fair exhibits for
years for Marion county, is strictly op.
posed to the plans for raising funds as
they are now drawn up. Mr.. Taylor,
in speaking of the exhibit plans, as tenn
porarily consummated, said yesterday:
"When the men selected to draw up
plans for preparing the valley exhibit
at the Panama fair first met, I being
one of them, we decided to ask each
Of the eight county courts to levy a
nominal assessment against the valua.
tion of the taxable property in each
county, the proceeds to be appropriated
by each county to the general valley
exhibit fund. After summing up the
valuation of each county, I found that
should we carry out this plan, Marion
county would be required to pay nearly
double as much as any other county on
the list and | Immediately objected to
such procedure as being both unfair
and unjust to the taxpayers of this
county.
"We presented the plans to Marion
county court, however, and, as ! fully
expected, the court frowned on them
and refused to act under such circum-
stances, which action on its part for
one do not criticise.
