MIes Fischer, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Kate Fischer; was greeted by a delegation of motion picture folk and a few personal friends, whisked away to the Multnomah Hotel, and from there taken on a brief sightsee ing expedition about the city. This former Oregon girl she spent many years of her life at Sllverton came all the way from her studio at San Diego at the request of the Oregon Motion Picture Exhibitors' League to lead the grand march at the ball to follow the state convention that opens this morning and concludes tomorrow night - - . It seems mighty good to get back to Portland." was the smiling comment of the Mutual film luminary, star of "The Miracle of Life," "The Pearl of Para dise."

Clemenceau says: "In invaded France, at the present hour there is a name which represents. by I know not what force of intuition, the beauty of America's intervention it is that of Roosevelt. You are too much of a philosopher not to know that great popular leaders have Influenced men out of all proportion to their own real value, by the intangible atmosphere of legend which has formed around them. "Whatever may be the reasons, and without attempting to analyze the phenomenon, I yield to the imperious need to tell you that the name of Roosevelt has In our country at this time a legendary power. It would be an enormous error in my view to ne glect a force which everything urges us to make use of as soon as possible. "We have learned that the first American unit has arrived at the front and with what zest Generals and pri vates saluted the noble starred banner.

The situation in time of war is es sentially different from that in time of peace. Labor- Appreciates Dancer. Serious as are the labor difficulties during the latter condition, they are rhnnitely .more dangerous when the Nation is engaged in supplying its men at the firing line with the things they must Wave if they are to gain victory. Labor appreciates this fact, and it is certain it will not menace the lives of its own men1 waging the war by re fusing to give them ail they may need. The authorities appreciate that labor is just as patriotic as capital, and are confident it would frown upon any ac tion which might tend to weaken the strength of the Nation. On the other hand, it is recognized that the war must not be used to grind down labor, and that it is more than ever incum bent on the Government to see that labor is content, in view of the extraor dinary demands which will be made upon it. The ideal condition will be evolved if labor and capital should settle their own disputes regarding wages and hours without reference to any Gov ernmental agency, voluntary or com pulsory, but it is a practical question which faces the Government and the people, and it is a practical solution which must be developed, as Congress will not enact a compulsory investiga tion or compulsory arbitration bill cer tainly during the present session, if ever. It is deemed desirable to devise method which will enable a prompt adjustment of disputes. SALMON PACK VERY LARGE Maclcay Cannery Ahead of Last Season 500 Cases. MARSHFIELD, Or., May 28. (Spe cial.)

Making rapid progress in revising the House war tax bill, the Senate finance com mittee today decided to exempt from taxation many articles levied upon by the House, to substitute stamp taxes ftr the manufacturers' gross sales plan of the House and to consider new taxes on second-class mail matter. The latter were advocated by Senator Hardwick and Postoffice Department heads and would be based on advertising space In publications. . It was' agreed that there should be no direct taxation on Jewelry, motion- picture films, chewing gum and pianos and self-played musical instruments. Sale Tax Eliminated.

In cluding talking machine records, ath letic goods, perfumes, cosmeticu and patent medicines.

A new tax on confectionery was pro posed by Senator Williams, of Missis sippi and favorably received. Amusement Levy May Remain. Taxes on admissions to amusement and other places and club dues were considered. but no decision was reached. They probably will be re tained, it was officially stated, in amended form. Although the committee previously decided to strike out the House In creases on second-class mail matter un der a zone system, it reopened th question of increased revenue from newspapers and magazines today by receiving the new proposal of Senator Hardwick, backed by the Postoffice Department. Senator Hardwick's amendment pro vides that the cent-a-pound second class rate shall be retained on news matter of second-class publications, but proposes a graduated tax upon the parts of such publications devoted to advertising. Opposition Is Opposed. He told the committee that by this method $20,000,000 of additional reve nue this year could be raised. . For the first year he proposed a tax' of 8 per cent on advertising in second-class publications of S cents a pound, be ginning July 1. 1918, and of 8 cents a pound thereafter. The tax would be computed on space and weight basis, the advertising space being measured and the tax lev led on tne percentage of the publica tions' weight devoted to advertise ments. It Is expected that the ne proposal will be as vigorously opposed Dy publishers as tne House zone sys tem, which the Senate committee elim inated after hearing testimony that it would ruin many publications. If adopted it will be in addition to the direct advertising tax of 2 per cent tentatively approved by the committee Split Assessments Avoided. The committee decision to strike out the House gross sales tax on jewelry, motion-picture films and chewing gum was said to be based on the general principle of eliminating split taxes on businesses and industries. The motion picture business. It was argued, too, will be reached by the excess profits. corporation and amusement taxes. - The stamp tax proposed on the per fumes, cosmetics and patent medicines, it was said, probably would be distrib uted in actual operation between man ufacturers distributors and the con Burner. A floor or. stock space plan of levying the stamp tax on distribu tors is being worked out .by Treasury experts. The general tariff increase of 10 per cent of the House bill will be consid ered by the committee tomorrow. Many members are insisting on its ellmln tlon. If not stricken out. Senators said tonight. It would be greatly changed, especially the proposed free list. As it affects supplies of raw materials, manufacturers have been active in urg ing that the whole tariff section be stricken out.
