GOVERNOR-ELECT oEEKING ADVICE |Inquires Into Cost of { State Exhibit at St. Louis. Governor-elect Pardee wishes to know what it will cost to have the products | and resources of California exemplified at the Louisana Purchase Exposition, to be held at St. Louis, to which the world is invited. To gain this information he has addressed letters to individuals and has asked for early responses. An extract from one of the communications that has Dbeen sent out with his sanction is as fol- lows: As you are aware, cne of the measures that will come before the Legislature at its coming session will be a proposal to make an appro- { priation for an exhibit to represent the prod- | ucts and resources of California at the St. Louls Exposition. It has appeared to me that it 1s desirable, before deciding how large the appropriation shall be or who shall control Its expenditure, to determine what the scope and character of the exhibit ought to be. In other words, what kind of an exhibit will constitute the most effective advertisement for Callfornia and will do the most to promote its permanent and highest interests? The amount of money Which can be appro- priated is necessarily limited and therefore it is important that it should be £o expended as i 1o bring the largest possible returns in benefi- cial publicity. Since it will be my duty to deal with this matter officlally I have decided to request a number of gentlemen who are competent to advise to give me, for my private and personal information, the benefit of their knowledge and opinions. ' T ask you to write me, at your earliest convenience, and glve me your ideas on this subject. ESTIMATES EXPENSE. One communication was addressed to Manager Filcher of the State Board of Trade, who has had charge of many ex- hibits sent out from California. In a re- ply Filcher suggests an appropriation of $75,000 and makes several statements of interest in considering the proposition. Some extracts from the communication addressed to the Governor-elect by Fil- cher are as follows: 1 have said to the 1os Angeles Chamber of Commerce_that the State ought to appropriate at least $75,000 and have suggested that out of this appropriation it ought to provide a building for a collective California exhibit, pay the freight on all Callfornia exhibits, the ex- pense of installing all California_ exhibits and of general administration; roughly estimating the cost of a building at '$50,000; instailation, $10,000; administration, $10,000: freight, $4000, and incldentals, $1060. 'These figures are based upon the presumption that the countles will | collect the exhibits. There are conditions pertaining to the St. Louis Exposition which may meke it difficult to secure a State building. Personally 1 am convinced that the best results to a State, and especially to our State, are obtained by the presentation of what may be termed a col- | lective exhibit of the State’'s products. That is, to do full justice to California, we ought to have the privilege of presenting, under one Toof, or in one general apartment, all our va- ried industries and thus impress the visitor ot only with the quality but also with the large variety of our resources. FECULIAR CONDI_IONS. This, we are informed. cannot be done within the confines of the exhibition proper. We are told that the States may erect buildings for headquarters, but not for exhibition purposes; | ang that all articles displayed must go into their respective departments, according to the classification determined upon by the Exposi- tion management. This, you can understand, would scatter our exhibits and destroy our identity. While from such an arrangement we mi t reap a rich harvest In the way of awards we would not leave an impression on the visitor that would focus his attention on California and its wide range of opportunities, There s no objection to exhibiting in the A different departments. TIndeéd, it'is desirable that California should be strongly represented in the agricultural, horticultural, mining, for- estry and other classifications: hut, while this ought to be done, it is yet vitally important, in my opinion, that somewhere at St. Louig we ‘should represent these sdme industries’ in collective form. Unless we can eventually se- cure the right to exhibit in a_State building within the grounds at St. Louis, individually, 1 would be in favor of rent! site near the main entrance to:the Exposition and .eyecting & over it the sign ‘‘California Building—Free Ex- hibit of the Btate's Resources.’ Filcher also suggests to the Governor- elect that it might be weil to request sormie competent authority-to ascertain-on exhibition® purposes ' can ‘be had ‘4t St. Louils, with estimates of the cost of the same and also the cost of collecting and administering such an exhibit as would do the State full credit, as the basis of such appropriation as_may ,be asked of the Legislature.
