TILE 1928 FAIR

Statewide taxation for the 1925 Port
land fair, as was demonstrated at the
special legislative session last week, is
generally unpopular in rural districts.
| Expression of citizens. as voiced in nc
uncertain tones through Legislators,
shows that the burden of taxation has
reached the point where those who pay
are unwilling to submit to any further
increases. However much we may de-
sire some things here in Oregon. the
people are unwilling to permit a fur
ther increase of direct taxation.
The Legislature has provided gaso-
line tax to be referred to the people.
President Ritner, of the senate, has re-
fused to sign the bill, because, it is de-
clared it was not carried by constitu-
tional majority. The senate vote was
10 to IA. One member of the body has
died. Attorneys declare that the ma
jority however, as contemplated under
law, must be majority of the full
legally authorized number of the up
per house.
The gasoline bill has strong oppos-
tion generally. Whether it goes to a
vote of the electorate in May or not, it
is likely that some other initiative
measure, providing for a financing of
the proposed fair will go to the people
in November. Plans for securing
funds for the exposition by taxation
have not panned out as those pTomot-
ing the fair had anticipated.
A rebuilding of the entire structure
of plans may have to be resorte1 to.
The enthusiastic Portland citizens, as
we'll as many of other parts of the
state. have proceeded too far with
their endeavor to allow the work they
have already accomplished to go for
nothing. The 1925 fair will certainly
be held, although it may materialize
with sundry notifications.
Here in Hood River county. where
we are in a strategic position to enjoy
the fruits of an exposition, our very
position has caused us largely to be ST.
lent but interested spectators of the
course Of events. Naturally. we have
hoped for an exposition Of magnitude,
good things for ourselves,
and vet many citizens have evinced
stirring Of their heart
strings, when they pondered over the |
matter and tried to place themselves |
n "a position like unto that Of taxpay-
srs of more remote rural sections Of /
Oregon.

Two Hood River projects Launched
during the past year bid fair to grow
marvelously in coming years, if they
are pushed with perseverance and en-
thusiasm that marks their initiation.
We refer to the proposed annual ascent
of Mount Hood, as launched last July
by the American Legion, and the Ore
gon Nature Lovers club. The Legion
climb is already taking defini tie shape
for next year. Once placed on a firm,
permanent basis, it should indeed bring
as much fame to Hood River as has
the Roundup to PendIeton. The Ma
ture Lovers club idea is worthy of de-
velopment. With the stimulus of sim
cere enthusiasm it will reach a graft
flying stage in a decade, although its
initial progress seems slow.

summer. as result of the public spirit
edness of s. Benson, one of the pio-
neers in urging highway construction
over the state the Columbia Gorge Ho-
tel, tourist hostelry that will com
pare favorably with any resort hotel OF
southern California, has arisen beside
the Columbia River Highway just west
of the city. In the few briefsmonths
of its existence, it has become High
way landmark. and Portland folk who
plan on entertaining yisitorJ in the
manner of which all 0regonians are so
FOND, - leading them forth into Ma
ture's theatre. where they may hear
the orchestras of the forest, the diapa-
sons of mighty cascades Of great ma
tional waterway or the lesser notes Of
wood land brooks and see mountain and
forested landscape settings on prodi-
gal scale, these Portland folk have dis
covered it altogether the thing to es-
cort their visitors up to the Columbia
Gorge Hotel.
The mid Columbia district is enter
ing on new era. The past decade
has been one # investment in highway
construction. The next 10 years will be
decade of utilizing these highways
for bringing tourists to resort hotels
that will be constructed along the lines
of travel The Columbia River High
way and the Mount Hood Loop, when
that Is opened to traffic before 1925,
will enable Portland family, say on a
warm August day. to start from the
heat of the city level in an early morn
ing and reach the snowhelds of Mount
Hood before afternoon. This set Of
circumstance will certainly result in a
further development Of resort hostelry
construction in the higher forest areas
to the east base Of the snowpeak and,
the Hood River valley will eventually
become the mecca of as many vaca-
tionsts as Oregon coast resorts.
With regard to the Portland 1926 ex-
position, all of the foregoing recital is
but an indication that Hood River ,
county enjoys a strategic position for ,
the full enjoyment Of all the benefits :
that may accrue from such publicity r
and development venture. However, ,
much other sections of the state may ,
view with displeasure the proposal of 9
taxation for the fair, Hood River citi-
zens realize that they cannot afford not
10 join in plans for the exposition. .
And here in this county, while some
as to ways and means of ;
'aising the necessary funds prevails,
he sentiment is generally almost over
in favor of the 1925 fair. j,

THE NEW YEAR

The time Of the year has come foi
the annual inventory. when men check
up their material assets and in retro.
spect study their inner defects. The
New Year will soon be with US, its
minutes and hours ticking themselves
away into the vast abyss of eternity.
We make our plans for the days of the
coming year, setting about to build up
material resource and to strengthen
character and satisfy conscience by in
stituting personal reform. New Year, s
resolutions are in order.
But we have come to point where
we make too much of hasty fetish of
our resolves to change overnight our
method Of living. And thus before the
first week of the new year is over
uncountable new bricks of good inten-
tons gone astray are ready to be util-
lied in repairing the paving of hell.
Moderation is a good rule of life, and
the application of temperance, even in
the formulation of resolutions, is a
good way to begin the New Year.

The example set by the citizen whC
paid in full, in advance. his CONNER
cial club dues, should be followed BY
every member of the organization.
The custom of making budget of an
nual personal expenses is a good one.
Where these expenses can be paid in
advance, the payer will profit. He
will cut bis treasury cloth accordingly,
and the organization receiving the
funds will be in position to profit
argely by having the money in hand
to meet emergencies that may arise.

We note that the promoters of the
recent Seattle Northwestern Apple
Show are appealing to growers for a
subscription of funds to pay for the
affair. We do not want to appear sell
fish. but in view of the publicity given
by Seattle papers, why not let Wash
ington growers settle the bill? Judg-
ing from Seattle publications, the fair
was strictly an event to boost Wash
ington apple Districts. Oregon was an
unknown, far country.

BEWARE OF FIRE

These are days doubly fraught with
danger from fire. With the tempera-
ture unusually cold. every effort is
made 70 keep the furnace burning
more ardently than usual, or the sides
OF the heating stove are kept red hot.
Faul iues may be ignited and result in
alarming chimney fires. Woodwork.
whore pipes penetrate walls. may be
overleated, and result in damaging and
ineonveniencing blazes.
