MAYOR
URGES UNITY IN
ADVERTISING STATE
California Reaped Untold Bene-
fits as Result of 1915 Fair;
Oregon Can Do As Well If
Stare Will Give Portland
Right to Finance Project.

"California's most rapid growth
was from 1910 to 1920, and we
believe we can cite this as being
partially attained at least by the
Panama Pacific exposition" says
Guy e. Leonard, secretary Of the
Fresno Chamber of Commerce in
a letter received at the Oregon
1925 exposition headquarters
telling OF the great benefits the
entire state of California receiv-
ed from the 1915 exposition.
The subject is of especial interes
at this time, as Oregon is in line t
reap similar benefits from the: 1925 ex
position, which Is to be an Oregon ex
position, and not one for Portland o.
any other one section OF the state
The entire state is to vote on NOvem
Der Z ON the proposition to give Port
land authority to tax Itself for fin
ancing the exposition.
In the course of his letter, Mr.
Leonard says: There were a numbe;
of very definite benefits derived from
that exposition" referring to the Pan
ama-Pacific exposition which wal
used most extensively to advertise t.
;he world the resources and attrac
tions of California. Among the bene
fits he names "the publicity that at
tended it, publicity that extended tC
every corner of the United States ant
that was worth in itself the price oi
the exposition. OF even greater bene
fit was the result of this publicity
when thousands of eastern visitor,
came to California"
Oregon can achieve results in state
development as gratifying as those
which have come to California, If he
entire state maintains a united spirit,
declares Mayor George l.. Baker OF
Portland, who head Of the committee
the campaign for the ex.
position amendment to be voted on in
November. I'VE must all get together
and work for Oregon as California has
for California. This state has the at.
fractions for tourists, who can be
drawn here by the thousands; 1t has
agricultural, commercial and indus.
trial opportunities and resources, the
same ss has California. 1t takes only
some big movement such as the 1926
exposition to start the ball rolling.

rem make up the great per cent of cas-
ualties," says the statement.

is a by-word in the southern par of
the county. Olsen had evidently been
hearing something about the hardy
blacksmith and refused to wrestle,
saying the opponent was too large.

POLITICAL PARTY CHAIRMEN
and committees are preparing to take
up their work, among which will be
the duty of seeing that proper steps
are taken for having registrars ap-
pointed and voters registered. This
is a very important work for people
of all parties, as well as for benefit of
the State and county governments
for, it is only thru and by a general
expression of the people at the bal
lot boxes in November, that it is pos
sible to get capable or honest men
elected to Office. Yet there are some
who say that political parties are not
necessary. If it were not for their
activities a lot of people would never
be able to cast a ballot at the cleo
tions-because they would overlook
the time and periods of registration,
or for taking part in the primary cleo
tions to nominate candidates for the
county offices. To do this work and
protect the rights of every citizen to
qualify as an electOr, the political
committees of both parties must make
expenditures of money, for clerical
services, for postage, for printing and
for travel expenses-all for the bene-
fit of the people-and incidentally for
the party whose committee is per-
forming the service. From now until
next November, the political efforts
will grow with each week in activity.

THE RULING by the Kent County
Court Judges which was promulgated
this week, applying to the postponed
cases on the trial list of that court, is
a very wise and especially just ruling
for the protection of defendants
against the grating system which re-
lies especially to postpOnements to
effect a compromise to get cash set
tlement. The ruling provides, as re-
ported in the. daily press, that all
cases which have been postponed for
four terms of the court, shall be
stricken from the trial lists of that
court The Judges have acted upon
an annoyance which has encumbered
the trial lists of the courts, and also
served as an annoyance to defendants
who would welcome trial, but were
continuously faced with postponement
requests from the prOsecutiOn-Or, in
some reverse cases, the prosecution of
guilty, or of those cases where dam
ages are involved and to WHICH the
respondents desired to wear down
the attack of the prosecution and final
ly get a compromise or leniency from
some cause, resort was made to the
postponement practice. The Judges
will help to clear the trial lists by
enforcing this ruling and lessen the
work of the court thereby.

States, that all films showing the no
torious Fatty Arbuckle," who was
recently acquitted after three trials
for murder of an actress in Califor-
mia in a drinking party held in his

This is a move in the right direction
to elevate the moving picture busl-

have by their icencious lives, brought
disgrace upon the profession. The
showing of a film with Arbuckle as

A NEW LAW in Delaware provides
whipping on the bare back for those
guilty of driving off without consent
of the owner any automobile OF auto
driven truck in the State of Delaware.
The first case under this law happen
ed in Kent county, and the victim was
whipped in the Jail yard at Dover last
Saturday, with five lashes, the mini
mum prescribed by the law, after he
entered a plea of guilty. It would be
well for all the young men who are
inclined to misuse other peoples au-
tomObiles, or play pranks upon own
ers of machines, to keep the fact in
mind, that the law now has teeth
which may make stinging lashes
heavy penalty to pay for this partic-
ular crime.
