LIBERTY STAGE IS SCENE Jfearly $6000 Pledged at Afternoon Performance and Mucli More in Evening, and Autographed Photographs Come High. Olga Petrova, star of stage and screen; poetess, song-writer, author, playwright, scenarist and ex-newspaper woman, proved her right to. an other calling, that of saleswoman, when she sold $12,630 worth of war savings stamps at the Liberty Theater yesterday afternoon and evening. The Polish beauty and her manager. Eobby North, former vaudeville favor ite, on a tour of the country under the auspices of the National war savings stamp committee, staged patriotic rally, auction, sales campaign and vaudeville show on the Liberty stage, quite cap turing the hearts of the huge audiences that packed the theater afternoon and evening to see the star. Nearly 16000 was pledged at the af ternoon appearance, and $6685 at night. Preliminaries being over, Petrova made an appeal for $100 pledges. They came thick and fast, followed by those of mailer denominations, with the visitor reading the names of the subscribers from the stage. Then autographed photographs of the star were auctioned off by Bobby North, prices ranging from 100 to 250, payment in stamp subscriptions. Portland lonnx Women Help, A bevy of young women, headed by Miss Rosemary Baldwin and Miss Nellie Hemenway, distributed pledge cards through the audiences. Others on this committee were: Mrs. Ralph W. Hurl burt, Mrs. Ernest Hunt, Miss Sybil Brown. Miss V'Ona Guthrie, Miss Dor othy Faul, Mrs. A. T. Caswell, Miss Lucile Shepherd, Miss Harriett Cum mings, Mrs. Frank McCauley, Miss Jean McLeod, Miss Anna Beckwith, Miss Nan Montgomery, Miss Georgianna Hears. Miss Evelyn Fitzgibbon, Miss Jean Stevens, Miss Dorothy McGuire, Miss Gretchen Klosterman, Miss Virginia McDonough, Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Marjorie McGuire, Miss Leila Guthrie, Miss Gladys Ferrall, Miss Flor ence Hemenway and Mrs. W. J. Max well. Patriotic fervor was the keynote of Madame Petrova's address following her introduction to applauding audi ences by Marshall Dana, representing the Oregon war savings stamp com mittee. Spectators were alternately thrilled by her impassioned appeal for Americans to do their best and not their "bit" to humble the Hun, for Jus tice for France and succor for her help less Poland, and amused by her bril liant flashes of wit, accompanied by smiles and oh-so-Frenchy shrug of the shoulders. During her talk. In part a congratu latory address on Oregon's over-the-top performance in the war savings stamp campaign, as well as an appeal for no let-up because a fixed figure had been passed, Petrova asked her audiences to join in singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." Then she introduced her cam paign song specialty, "Freedom for All Forever," written by Lieutenant . C Hilliam. Royal Canadian Fusiliers. A little girl, lured by the promise of a $3 "baby bond," sang the chorus all by herself, and then the audience Joined with a wilL Spokane Cries Out for Help. "I don't believe I would have stopped In Portland had I known beforehand that Oregon had passed its stamp quo ta' commented Mme. Petrova, when Mr. Dana informed her of Oregon's most recent feat. "Spokane wanted me, oh, so badly." However, she cam paigned with undiminished ardor for a 'higher over-the-top" quota. "1 couldn't go to the front as a nurse until fitted for it by a training period of two years, and then they won't let women over there who have kinsmen st war. So I volunteered my services for my adopted country on this war savings stamp mission," the distin guished stage and screen visitor ex plained her tour. As for pictures, she Is delighted with them, offering as they do every oppor tunity for expression, but she's on the "way to New York, now to rehearse an Alan Dale play. She has been blinded thrice by studio lights during the past year, and after three years of pictures may return permanently to the speak ing stage this Fall.

"Washington Attorney-General Rules k Tbat Clarke County Is Bound by Prevailing- Statutes. Federal court litigation must be In stituted before any toll reductions can be allowed for the Army service across the Interstate bridge. This was the advice given to the county commissioners yesterday by IMstrlct Attorney Evans, who advised the board not tp take further steps at this time to put the proposed one-cent toll rate into effect. That the entire toll question must be taken to the Federal Court for adjudi cation was made apparent when copies of the opinion of Attorney-General Tanner, of Washington, were received by county officials. The Washington lesal adviser hold that Clarke County rot only is prohibited from Riving free tolls to the Army, but it is likewise de riied the right of giving reduced toll rates as was contemplated under the one-rent toll plan of Chairman Holman. This opinion, District-Attorney Evans said, means that the Clarke County Commissioners cannot vote to put the one-cent toll rate for the Army service into effect, as members of the Clarke County delegation had previously acreed to do. Ihe only recourse now loft, he said, was to institute proceed ings In the Federal Court, where the entire matter can be laid before the country's high tribunal. Mr. Evans is now making a complete resume of the bridge-toll controversy preparatory to filing some action in court. In the meantime, the officers and men stationed at Vancouver Barracks will be compelled to pay the regular toll, county officials said yesterday, and it probably will be several months before the matter can be definitely set tled through court procedure. construction, into the Willamette River.

In vetoing the 128,000.000 annual agricultural ap propriation bill because of Its amend ment fixing the Government guaran teed minimum wheat price at 3.40 a bushel, the President Informed Con gress today tbat he did not believe the farmers of America "depend upon a stimulation of price to do their utmost to serve the Nation and the world at this time of crisis." The President said the patriotic spirit of the farmers has been "worthy of all praise and has shown them play ing a most admirable and gratifying part in the full mobilization of the re sources of the country. Allied Anxiety Relaxed. He added that the bumper crops they have raised this year have relieved the anxiety of the nations arrayed against Germany with regard to their food supplies." Congress was Informed that the Pres ident did not believe that such inelastic pi-ice provisions as contained in the bill could be administered in a way that would be advantageous to the pro ducer and consumer, because they es tablished arbitrary levels which are quite independent of the normal market conditions. The administrative method in fixing prices, he said, has been entirely satis factory and should be continued. Flour Would Advance. A fixed minimum price of $2.40 a bushel, the President said, would In crease the price of flour from $10.60 to (12.50 a barrel and would put an ad ditional burden of $387,000,000 this year on the consumers. Such an Increase in price, ha said. would force a similar Increase in Can ada, thus enlarging the whole scale of financial operations in this country by the allied governments and affecting practically the entire world. The House is expected to pass the bill tomorrow with the price-fixing amend ment eliminated, leaving the guaran teed price at 52.20 a bushel. Some Senators from wheat-growing states were disposed tonight to urge the Senate to pass the bill over the President's veto, while others suggest ed that the wheat price amendment might be added to the til, 000, 000 emer gency agricultural bill to which is at tached the prohibition amendment. Third Veto tn Fortnight. The President's veto of the agricul tural bill was his third in two weeks. The first disapproval was of the post office bill because of a rider for Gov ernment purchase of mall tubes in eight cities, and the second was of the reso lution authorizing the extension of time in which the Government may relin quish short-line railroads. LOCAL- FARMERS SATISFIED Pacific Northwest ot Disposed to Question Veto. The vetoing of the $2.40 wheat bill was expected by grain men here, even before announcement came from the White House that the President would take this action. The grain farmers of the Pacific Northwest, naturally, would have been pleased to see a higher wheat price made legal, but representative farmers have expressed themselves as well sat isfied with the J2.20 quotation recently announced by the food administration. This year's price, as it stands now is 15 cents a bushel more than the farm ers received last year. There has been some delay In getting arrangements under way for the han dling of the new crop, because of the uncertainty as to what the final price wouia De. Flour and millfeed quotations had been fixed on the basis of the food ad ministration's wheat price and It would have been necessary to revise the schedules had the $2.40 bill become law. With the matter now settled the Administration officials expect to pro ceed without further hitch in moving tne immense wneat crop produced this year. FATHER ANXIOUS TO SERVE Member ot Canadian Parliament Will Aid In Next Loan Campaign. Charles McDonald, member of the Canadian Parliament and father of the late Rex .McDonald, returned soldier who assisted in Oregon's Third Liberty Loan campaign and who has since died, has asked to be allowed to come to Oregon at his own expense during the next Liberty Loan campaign In Octo ber and carry on the work which his son ardently desired to do before his death. "My wife and I are buoyed up under our loss by the knowledge that our son did his full share In the great war," wrote the father in bis letter to Robert E. Smith, chairman of the com ing Liberty Loan campaign for Oregon. Mr. Smith has accepted the offer. "It Is," he wrote, "a striking example of the unflinching patriotism of the Canadians." HERMAN TRAIL IS BEST Wahtum Lake Hikers Advised Not to Go by Way of Eagle Creek. The Eagle Creek trail to Wahtum Lake is not now in condition for tramp ing, being practically closed by con struction work for a stretch of three miles. The Herman Creek trail is rec ommended instead. Of 20 hikers who tried the trail last Sunday, all but two lost their way. A. G. Jackson, of the United States Forest Service, advises those who wish to hike to Wahtum Lake to go In by way of the Herman Creek ranger sta tion, where the trail starts, and which is less than three miles east of Cas cade Locks on the Columbia Highway.

SALEM. Or.. July 12. (Special.) Governor Withycombe today set next Monday morning at 10 o'clock as the time for the meeting of the State Tax Commission to take up the question of determining what extra funds will be needed to be raised by a vote of the people for obviating the restrictions of the 6 per cent limitation amendment. As the matter now stands following are the exigencies which the Governor believes should be cared for by privi lege granted by tho people for levying of a greater sum than is now consti tutionally allowed: An approximate increase of 25 per cent for the maintenance of state insti tutions. State Police Vital. Provision for state military police as they now stand for the period of the war, the police to be changed to a state constabulary and cut to about one- fourth its present size after the war. A state hospital to be established at Portland In connection with the Uni versity of Oregon Medical College to care for crippled soldiers returning from the war. Provision for the State Council of Defense, Oregon Social Hygiene Society war work, and kindred organizations devoted to caring for emergencies arlS' ing out of a state of war. - Sundry war emergencies that might arise and as yet unforeseen. People Must Give Consent. "It Is not my wish or Intention to ask for unnecessary appropriations," de clared the Governor, "but certain war needs and emergencies have arisen and will arise, which must be cared for and must be financed. The only manner of financing them la through the con sent of the people of tho state. "One matter of great Importance Is the necessity for providing some means of caring for our wounded and crip pled soldiers who will return from France. After It had outlived its use as a hospital for such purposes. It could be used for the care of crippled chil dren and Indigent sick. Just how much additional money will be needed over that allowed under the 6 per cent amendment I am no prepared even to estimate now. We I will be as economical as possible, but there are some needs that are Impera tive, In my mind." , JUDGE TO TAKE VACATION Fred Stadter to Preside Over Mu nicipal Court for 15 Days.
