New York, Sept. 4-Otto II.

leader in world finances, is back
in h.s New York offices at Kuhn,

stay in Europe for close study
Of conditions there. His sum-

"The permanent prosperity of cur

LEGAL REASONS MAKE
NECESSARY STATE VOTE
ON 1925 WORLDS FAIR

Technical legal reasons make 1t
necessary for the people of tho state
to vote on the question OF the 1925
exposition, according to an explana.
ticn issued by the exposition COM
mittee, While the measure author
izins tax of $3,0O0,0O0 will be on
the ballot in Portland, the measure
en- the ballot in the rest OF the state
will be on to uthorize Portland to
overcome the state tax limitation law
which otherwise would prohibit Port
land from levying the tax. No tax
is provided outside Of Portland.
Before Portland can levy a tax
within Portland it is necessary to
have the approval of the voters of
the entire state" says the committee
report. This due to the six per
cent tax .mitaticn act which reads
in part as follows: UNLESS specific.
ally authorized by a majority of tho
Legal voters voting upon the question,
neither the state nor any municipal
ity, district or body 20 which the pow
er to levy tax shall have been dele.
gated, shall in any year so exercise
that power to raise greater amount
OF revenue for purposes other than
the payment of bonded indebtedness
or interest thereon than the total
amount levied by it in the year i'm.
mediately preceding for purposes
other than the payment OF bonded in
debtedness o. interest thereon, plus
six percentum thereof"
The SIX per cent li-lit apTl,es in
the proposal by Portland to finance
the exposition in order for the city
to exceed that limit, which the 49,
OC0,OO0 tax would do, the constitution
must be amended and this cannot be
done excepting at state wide cleo
fion and with the approval of the vot.
ers at large.

POLITICS NOW A REAL MESS
Pierce Deserts Party Standards;
Republicans Are Split


The unexpected flop of Walter M.

featuring reduction of taxes to ad.
yocacy of the measures sponsored
by the Ku Klux Klan and the more
or less unexpected entrance OF Chas.
Hall into the race for governor as
an independent Klan-republcan candl-
Gate has made a real mess of politics
in Oregon. 1t seems, however, the
logical outcome of a wideopen pri.
mary where anybody may run for Of

What the result at the polls will
be only guess may be safely yea.

ample Of men like Oglesby Young. tho
Portland democratic warhorse, most
of the regular democrats, taught since
Jefferson's time to oppose the injejc.
tion of religion and lace issues into
politics and just as positively Sc.
against restrictions by law upon per-
sonal liberty, will vote for Governor
Olcott, while the thousands of repub-
lican members Of secret political or
ganizations who supported Mr. Hal in
the primaries will probably vote for
Mr.. Pierce in November.
The independent candidacy of Hal.
would indicate a split in these ranks,
but there is general feeling that
either Hall or Pierce will be pulled
out of the race. PROBABLY the former.
So We'll all haul down our old party
colors and run up the black flag of
religious and racial feud and attempt
to force the other fellow to think the
way we do or lock him up in Jail.

are little short Of irresistible In
justice to one Of the half dozen lead

instances it is said TO have brought
the cost OF the 1899 car down to the

than can be said for the vast majority
OF industries.
