SCHOOL TAX FOE IN
MM ON CONVERTED
Taxpayers' Secretary Not to
Stand With League.
UNIVERSITY IS VISITED
Xeed of Higher Educational Insti
tutions for Funds Declared
Evident Support Pledged.
S.VLTTST, Or.. May 13. (Special.)
Tsadore Greenbaum, secretary of the
Marion county taxpayers' league,
which for several weeks has been
making- a spirited fight against the
passage of all measures carrying
financial obligations at the special
eleetioa on May 21, tonight repudiated
the action of the organization as far
as the millage tax for the higher
educational institutions is concerned
and in a public statement said he
would support the measure at the
polls. '
More Money Jfecessary.
"Ton may say that I will not be
bound by the resolutions adopted by
tho Marion County Taxpayers' league
and that I shall support the higher
educational institutions of Oregon
with my vote on May 21," said Mr.
Greenbaum tonight. "When I visited
the University of Oregon yesterday. I
hpoam cnnvlnffi that tb Tin i Id in ffs I
were Inadequate, that new equipment
was needed and that more money
muyt be made available for the sup
port of a competent teaching staff.
The class rooms are badly over
crowded and something must be done
immediately to relieve these condi
tions. "Oregon cannot afford to retard
the progress of these institutions at
this time, and regardless of any ac
tion that has or may be taken by the
Marion County Taxpayers' league, 1
shall vote for the millage measure
for the support and maintenance of
the higher institutions of learning on
May 21."
In regard to the elementary echool
tax, Mr. Greenbaum said he had not
definitely decided whether to support
the measure.
Mind Xot Made Tp.
"I intend to make a thorough inves
tigation of this ' proposed tax," said
Mr. Greenbamu, "and should I find
that the levy is necessary in preserv
ing the common schools of this state,
I may be found supporting It at the
polls on May 21. At present, however;
I am not in a position to pass on the
merits of this measure."
Mr. Greenbaum, accompanied the
Salem Cherrians to Eugene and Cor
vallis yesterday, and upon an in
spection of the institutions immedi
ately reached the conclusion that the
millage tax for these colleges was
just and reasonable.
The Marion County Taxpayers'
League, of which Mr. Greenbauni is
secretary, went on record recently
against all the millage taxes and Mr.
Greenbaum's withdrawal from the
ranks of the opposition to the tax
for the higher educational institu
tions, came as a great surprise to the
members of the organization.

sented by him to the senate. Senator
Johnson demands that the republican
party oppose the league altogether.
. Two more destructive attitudes to
ward a great issue could not be found.
"An emergency is created by this
, alliance of destruction. The aspira-
tions of the great majority of our
' people will be thwarted by either of
these extremes. This majority is fixed
in its determination that the United
States, both for our own protection
and in the interests of the welfare of
the world, shall join the league by
ratifying the treaty, which provides
for substitution of methods of peace
for methods of war, but that we shall
do so only under assurances of no in
fringement of our constitution and
our traditions.
"The inflexible attitude of the pres
ident and his supporters and of Sena
tor Johnson and his supporters has
brought this issue into the election
at an immeasurable moral and econ
omic cost to our country and. to the
world. If the republican party, how
ever, is to voice the will of the people
and is not to forfeit the certainty of
leadership in the next four years, it
must embrace the great opportunity
which the majority of the American
people are prepared to give it. It must
support the league with reservations.
It must not fall into the trap that
the president and Senator Johnson are
enticing it into.
League Is Favored.
A. league for the reduction of
armament and the prevention of war
is not the property of any one party.
It was early enunciated by Theodore
Roosevelt in his address in 1910 fol
lowing the award to him of the Nobel
peace prize and has been consistently
advocated by republican leaders ever
since that time. Furthermore, the one
league that the world has now evolved
after all the sacrifice of five years has
been adopted, under proper safeguards
to the United States by the majority
of the republican senators, the great
loaders of the republican party and
various state platforms, and has al
ready been joined by 28 nations.
"I therefore hope that the more than
1000 clubs that have sprung up in the
country advocating my name at the
Chicago convention will, in addition
to the primary task they have under
taken, continue to keep to the fore
front their purpose of right align
ment of the party on the many issues
before us and that they will use their
utmost influence that the republican
platform shall indorse the prompt
ratification of the treaty and approve
the reservations.
"In the purely local situation in
Oregon, the effort of my friends to
secure expression in that Btate of such
views through the petition by which
they planned to place my name on the
ballot would appear to me to be lm
practical, as no real test can be made
0 this means.
BIjr Kxpcnsc Disapproved.
1 note the statement that the clubs
require large funds to expand into a
Retailed county and precinct organ
ization and for expenses of public
speakers and circularization of voters
tn order to place themselves on an
Muality with the several highly-developed
organizations which have Deen
in the field for months. Large expen
ditures purely for the advancement
of my name are repugnant to me. I
cannot sancUon them.
'"I understand there are five candi
dates on the republican ballot, all of
whom have many friends; some of
these candidates are for and some
against the league. No ono of these
candidates can withdraw. Consequent
ly there wtll be a great split in the
votes between mere names, resulting
'in the clouding of the vital issues. The
total vote recorded against tho 'no
league" candidates may give some in
dication of Oregon's views, and every
. effort should bo directed to this end
rather than the advancement of my
name.
"'It seems to me, therefore, that it is
much more Important that the clubs
that have been formed on my behalf
in Oregon shall devote themselves en
ergetically to every means of secur
ing expression from the republicans
of that state, regardless of candi
dates, for the firm adherence of the
republican party to the prompt rati
fication of the treaty as supported by
the majority of the republican sena
tors, instead of expansion end effort
to advance mv name.

' NEW YORK, May 13. Herbert
Hoover, replying by telegraph today
to the request of Huover republican
club of Portland, Or., for his views
on various matters arising in the
Oregon primaries, declared the re
publican party "must support the

"The president has declared," Mr.
Hoover said, "that the democratic

Well, what did the waiter say to
you, George?" asked the obliging in
terlocutor: "He done say, "Mister, at plate
ain't moist; dat's your portion of

Whereupon a row of ebon faces
opened in smiles, for the joke was
new, even to the minstrels. George
Wilson was up to his favorite tricks
again, digging up jokes new enough
to delight not only the audience, but
his co-laborers in the cause of en
tertainment. George is the bright and morning
star in this aggregation of minstrels
sent out on its fourth tour by Gus
Hill, and George is incidentally the
oldest "minstrel man in captivity.. His
argufying and impromptu debates,
his reflections on matrimony, his
singing are all mirth-provoking. He
has a queer little trick of appearing
to ponder and deliberate on answer
ing each of the million questions the
interlocutor asks, and when the an
swer comes, slow and solemn, it is
convulsingly funny.
These minstrels are all white

It is numerically a sizable show,
about SO singers and dancers and

Many excellent voices are heard in

the company coming in at the chorus
so that the sunshine seems to glow in
their harmony. Jack McShane'e tenor
singing "Daddy, You've Been a Mother
to Me, was memorable for its sym
pathetic quality, and Herbert Wilson's
brilliant yodeling of "Silver Moan"
was encored repeatedly. The basso
is Al Fontaine, whose voice is remark
able for its sonorous beauty and its
range. He sang "Down in the
Depths" and later in the last half
gave "Old Black Joe" with dramatic
vocal beauty.

before the parents the need for pas

ballot for the May primaries the cam
paign committee has arranged a
series of "live window displays,"
which made their appearance for the
first time yesterday.
At the C. J. Math is & Co. store a
group of art students is engaged in
making posters, free hand pen and
brush lettering and linoleum block

entertaining feature is the cartooning
done at a rapid pace before the
crowds.
Stndenta Work "Shifts."
Students work in 1-hour shifts
and come from their classrooms for
regular periods.
With one exception the work is by
high and trade students. The excep

by several groups of 11-year-old
youngsters from the seventh grade.
One-third of the work has been
shouldered by the Girls' Polytechnic

At the Powers Furniture store is a
class in home nursing under the direc

here one may learn how to make an
invalid's bed. bandage cuts, prepare a

HippotlTome.
The Celll singers are a quintet of
excellent vocalists and the four Ban
gards are such good instrumental
ists that both acts vie for headline
place on the Hippodrome new bill.
The Cellis are five in number, two
men and three women. One of the
women, the more mature one of the
three, has a wonderful deep contralto,
sonorous and rich in its tones and of
much volume. She sings "In the
Gloaming" beautifully. One other of
the girls has a high sweet voice and
sustains her notes clearly and surely.
They have wisely chosen a programme
which embraces both modern melodies
of syncopated swing, old-time ballads
and a few choice bits from the clas
sics. They dress attractively in pic
turesque colonial attire and the scenic
investiture charms with its novelty.
The other headline act is offered
by the four Bangards, billed as the
"Blue Devils of Music." They are an
exceedingly gifted group, two girls
and two men. and dress handsomely.
Their offerings consist of the jazziest
jazz, seductive syncopation in an ar
tistic commingling. They play all
sorts of instruments and play them
exceedingly well, with a musicianly
skill which is not sacrificed to mere
entertainment.
Mumford. and Stanley are a clever
pair. One is a comedian of Fatty
Arbuckle proportions and looks and
acts as a boob who is hunting for
a nickel he has lost on the stage.
His comedy pantomime is funny. He
sings, too, in an excellent tenor and
his partner sings in a good baritone.
They put across a lot of good fun.
Senna-and Webber are a man and
a maid whose best bit among their
clever songs and steps is a "Bowery"
classic done in song with eccentric
stepping. A rube number, too, is un
usually good.
Baker and Arnold have a keen
cheer-up act in which they sing de
lightfully and interrupt themselves
to dance quite as delightfully as tbey
sing. They, wear emart things and
please much with their spontaneity.
Opening the bill are the two Gor

First Day of Music Festival
Pleases.
The Creation" Given Notable Ren
dition by Local Chora.
BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
PORTLAND'S two days' music festi
val "-the only one announced to
take place in this city this season
was opened last night in the public
auditorium, with an excellent con
cert by the members of the Portland
Oratorio society of about 150 voices,
assisted by Miss Martha Atwood, so
prano, of New York; E. Graham Mor
gan, tenor, Seattle, and E. Maldwyn
Evans, baritone, this city, as soloists.
The music chosen for rendition con
sisted of Selections from the Haydn
oratorio "The Creation," to pipe organ
accompaniment by Edgar K. Coursen.
The rendition was a stirring one and
was cordially applauded by an audi
ence estimated to be 1000.
The music chosen for rendition was a
stirring one and was cordially ap
plauded by an audience estimated to
be 1000.
The conductor was Joseph A. Fin
ley of this city, who deserves great
credit for the skill and patience he
has shown in drilling the chorus and
in arranging the numerous details of
the musio festival. Danae Livesay
was piano accompanist.
The chorus sang with enthusiasm
and regard for the quiet, church-like
text of the oratorio, which was first
produced by Haydn about 122 years
ago, in Austria. The best sung
choruses were "The Heavens Are
Telling" (the air of which is often
sung as a hymn tune in modern
churches); "The Lord Is Great" and
"Achieved Is the Glorious Work."
Miss Atwood has a charming, sweet
lyric soprano voice that is finely
suited to oratorio singing, and she
made p. most favorable impression.
Mr. Morgan, tenor soloist in the choir
of the First Presbyterian church, Se
attle, is a native of Wales, and has
such a powerful, splendid dramatic
tenor voice that he is easily one of
the best tenors that has sung in this
city in years. His voice resembles
that of the late Evan Williams. Mald
wyn Evans of this city is a well
known and esteemed baritone singer
and he sang last night splendidly.
The second concert of the series
takes place tomorrow night, in the
public auditorium, with chorus num
bers and solos by the three soloists,
in a new programme of miscellaneous
musio. The two days' festival is di
rected by the Western Musical bu
reau, the manager of which states
that the famous Faulist fathers' choir
of 70 male voices, from New York
city, will appear in a concert in the
public auditorium late next month.

CAR RELIEF BILLS
REJECTED BY LABOR
Council Debate Interrupted
by Fiery Attacks.
TWC-T0-0NE VOTE IS CAST
Street-Car Men Offer Resolution,
Predicting Higher Fares Even
if Measures Are Passed.
Traction troubles of the city -were
trundled before the Central Labor
council at its regular weekly meeting
last night, with resultant hectic dis
cussion and the defeat of a resolution
to indorse the. relief measures which
appear on the primary ballot. The
term "liar," with emphasis, drove
into the proceedings like a bridge
spike at one juncture in the parlia
mentary procedure.
Acting as private citizens and mem
bers -of the council, and without ref
erence to their official capacity as
officials of the street-car workers'
union, H. E. Kidney, president, and A.
H. Stein, director, were among the
Bigners of the resolution calling for
the indorsement by the council of the
three measures which provide for the
elimination of bridge tolls, paving
charges and free car rides for city
employes.
Persnaxlve Argument Made.
Mr. Kidney made a persuasive and
logical argument for the resolution,
informing his fellow unionists that
the carfare is soon to be advanced, of
necessity, to 7 cents a ride, even I
acted by the voters... If they fail of
enactment; he predicted the street-car
ticket will advance to 8 or even 0
cents. He argued that it was to the
interest of union labor to save the
difference in pocket thus illustrated.
and at the same time pass some -of the
burden along to "department stores
and big business houses." which, he
asserted, are- not users of the car-
lines, though vastly benefited.
Arose a dozen protestarits, assert
ing that the time is ripe for munici
pal ownership, that the company
should be forced to the wall, if fail
ure to ratify the measures will do it.
and that the lines should revert to
the street-car workers for operation
by them for their own benefit. One
speaker, more than ordinarily en
thused with his topic, charged that
the street-car men's union is being
used by the Portland Railway. Light
& Power compny to further the self
ish ends of the corporation.
Dignified Debate Interrupted.
"You're a liar!" shouted President
Kidney of the street-car men, spring
ing to his feet and pointing a stiff
forefinger at the declarant. The
chair rapped loudly for order and
bade the members confine themselves
to more dignified debate.
President Kidney made it clear
that he and his fellow drafters of the
resolution had no purpose to serve in
advancing it other than the general
interest of labor in holding the car
fare down to a minimum. But the
force of vehement objection was at
high tide and the resultant ballot was
two to one for rejection of the reso
lution. "Bill" Williams, somewhat of a
stormy petrel in debate persuasive
and radical in remedy drew a tumult
of applause when he declared for
higher and still higher prices, not
only in carfare, but all along the line
of necessities. Such drastic object
lessons, asserted Williams, would
serve to rouse the public to a spirit
of retaliation and would result in the
faking over of industries essential to
the public welfare.
Esther Pohl Lovejoy, democratic
candidate for representative in con
gress, spoke briefly before the coun
cil when a contested vote allowed her
the privilege of the floor. Dr. Love-
joy "pledged her faith to labor, felici
tated it upon its achievements and
promised that, if elected, she would
further the interests of the toilers.

through Fraser Canyon and if
gamy trout tempt you, stop off at
Sicaxnous on Shuswap Lake.
You will see the majestic Selkirk
range in its gay spring raiment of
flowers and forest green and pass
among mountains whose peaks still
think it is January, but whose val
leys know it is springtime and gla
ciers that make jewel cases jealous.
You will want to stop at lovely Lake
Louise, and at Banff Springs Hotel
(both open in June) magic castles

The Secret of Keeping
The Skin Wrinkle-Free
The rreat secret of keeping the face
smooth, wrinkle-free and refined in tex
ture Is to use an effective astringent when,
the Ekin shows a tendency t. become loose
or the pores to enlarge. The best thins
of the kind is a simple solution made by
dissolving an ounce of pure powdered saxo
lite In a half-pint of witch-hazel. Used as
a wash lotion, this promptly tightens the
skin, which of course smooths out the lines
and wrinkles and reduces too-large pores.
Large pores, by the way. encourage
blackheads, being so easily clogged with
dirt and grime. The lotion referred to
therefore serves as a blackhead preventive.
It is also valuable in cases of sagging
cheeks and chin, the astringent actios of
course serving to "draw In" the folds and
obliterate the creases. Powdered saxotiie
now being sold by druggists generally In
this country, any woman can. make this
lotion herself. adv.
