Clearing the Exposition Way
{ From the Portland Spectator)

plan whereby we could hold such
an exposition as was first pro-
posed-an exposition by private or
public subscription, without tax
ing those who were unwilling to
be taxed; an exposition within
our means, and of such modest
scope and purpose that We would
be certain Of it's success, and
would not be exposed to the rid
icule that we know would attach
to the effort Of trying to present
a monumental affair similar to
that of Chicago or San Francisco.
But before new deal, but new
deck from which to deal.
1 am for permitting Jules Verne
Meier to make his trip around
the world as our Ambassador in
as many months or years as it
may please him to take, and then
call 1t square, mean the ac-
count, not the world. By the
time he returns, he will have
learned that the nations will not
send exhibits and commissioners
and secretaries to our exposition;
and no doubt he will be so sur
feited with the glory he has had
as our Very Plenipotentiary Min
lister that he will be willing to
seek the shade. We can then
elect as it's head a man who will
make the exposition a peoples,
and not a personal, affair; we
can proceed to raise the money
to finance the project, and we
can make it a success. Frank
Griffith should be the president.
1t is true, he is the head Of a
great corporation-the states
greatest corporation. That is guar
anty that he is big enough sue
cessfully to manage the exposi-
tion. He has ability, polish, en-
ergy, capacity, character and
popularity. If he would take the
Job, he would put his heart and
soul in it; and there are enough
men here who like him well
enough to put as much Of their
souls and hearts into anything
he proposes for Oregon's good to
make it go.

To the Editor:--In one of your
last editorials, Neglect of the
Hog" you are badly mistaken
| when you said there is money in
raising hogs and always will be-
No matter how much the Cor
Wallis college, the commercial
clubs or the Portland meat trust is

more hogs you can't fool them any
more.
have been in the dairy and hog
business for 25 years.
l admit it is wrong to send $4,-
100000 out of the slate for hogs,
but who is the cause2 The meat
trust. Just as soon as the farmer
raises more hogs down goes the
price below cost. In the year 1916
We consumed 321,758 hogs, price
about cents a pound to the farm
er. Now please notice, in 1921 we
consumed 149,993 hogs, price to
the farmer about 10 cents. Are
you going to make the farmer be-
lieve if he raised 321,75S hogs, as
in 1916, he would have received
10 cents2 Not much.
There is quite a movement on
foot among the farmers to see if it
isn't possible to lower the taxes.
Our taxes have increased over 400
per cent in the last 10 years and
today We are receiving very little
more for what we are producing
than in 1910.
Last year after figuring the in
terest on my investment and the
farm expenses 1 had $548 left and
out of that 1 had to pay $347
taxes; balance for my labor, $201
for 10 hours work a day.
l wonder what those gentlemen
of Corvallis, Eugene and the state
house who are getting from $4,000
to $4,000 a year would have to
say If they should pay over so per
cent of their wages for taxes. Now
Mr.. Editor and you ex-soldiers
who are going on the farm, those
are the conditions of most Oregon
farmers today.

Destruction of Hop Industry
(From the Portland spectator)

tland Spectator)
beer, l believe we shall see the
end of the hop industry here, and
this great factor in employment
and great source of revenue will
be lost to Oregon" Mr.. Seavey
calls attention to the anomaly
that refuses to allow the use of the
hop in manufacture of beverages
and permits the sale of children'S
drugs that have a larger alcoholic
content than beer. He says cas-
toria and hive syrups that are
ladled into babies contain 8 per
cent alcohol. Here is a question
asked by Mr.. Seavey; readers of
the Spectator will answer it for
themselves in their own way:
If Oregon did not have the hop
industry, which pays million
and half dollars in wages, gives
part-time employment to about
$1,000 persons, and brings be-
tween three and four million
dollars into the state, and if the
industry could be secured to Ore
gon through your efforts to have
amended a law that would permit
the manufacture of beer, would
you exert yourself to establish the
industry here?
The question is worthy of
thought. But here is another;
Are We going to see the hop
raiser put out of business without
raising hand in his defense?

Contest For
Naming of
Tire Man

H. L. Clark, the local Michelin
tire dealer, is very enthusiastic
these days over the nationwide
contest now being conducted by
the Michelin Tire company offer
ing $1,000 in cash and sixty-five
other prizes for securing a suit
able name for the interesting tire
man whicn has been a feature OF
Michelin advertising for many
years, and whose antics have
amused countless thousands OF
people.
1t seems this tire man already
has a name, but the Michelin COM
pany feels the name is not exactly
suitable because it is not a name
easily understood or remembered,
in short the Michelin man is
known as Bibendum, but while
Bibendum is a good name in some
countries, it is hardly suitable for
American use.
The story about the original
naming of the Michelin man takes
the reader back to France where
the modern pneumatic tire had its
birthplace in the Michelin works
at Clermont- -Ferrand, a city of
10000 busy people away up in the
mountains in the south central
part of the great republic beyond
the seas. The story goes that the
Michelin man was developed from
a rude idea suggested by work
man in the Michelin factory. This
workman noticed that a pile of
tires, carelessly assembled, bore
crude resemblance to a man. lie
mentioned this to a member of the
advertising staff, who later de-
veloped the idea, using tires of
different sizes. The services of
the celebrated French cartoonist
O'Gallot were then called in, and
soon the Michelin tire man became
reality.
About the first public use of
the figure was on poster where
the tire man was shown holding
goblet containing broken glass,
horseshoe nails and other terrors
of the road, evidently in the act
Of proposing a toast, the word be-
ing "Nunc est Bibendum" which
is Latin for our more familiar ex-
preston (before prohibitionJ of
Here's How" From that time
forward the Michelin man was
known abroad as Bibendum, this
name being considered appropriate
because Michelin advertising bore
the message that MicheIin tires
drank" or absorbed the shocks of
the road, and also such obstacles
as bits of iron, broken stones and
So on.
The rules governing the pres
ent contest are very simple All
the contestant has to do is of
course first find a suitable name
for the tire man and an appropri-
ate slogan or phrase of not more
than ten words! This sounds sim
pie, but it isn't. No wonder the
Michelin company is willing to
pay $1,000 in cash for a good
name for the famous tire man.
Nevertheless the. company feels
that a good name exists, and is
willing to pay this considerable
sum to secure it. After selecting
name and phrase the contestant
simply mails them to the Michelin
factory at Milltown, New Jersey
sometime between March l and
March 20. The contest closes on
March 25 and names sent in after
that date will not be considered,
OF course the would-be contest
ant should first learn all he can
about Michelin tires and the
Mtchelin man before he starts
cudgeling his brains for a name
and phrase. To help him the com
pany has provided H. L. Clark. the
local Michelin dealer, with circu-
