TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1920 5 BALLOT TO BEAR 3 TROLLEY Street Car Relief Is to Before Voters. Go CITY IS SAVED EXPENSE scene in Japan. The scenes are varied f and sustain -interest and the music is most appealing- and new. - In "The Luck of a Totem" Harry Girard and his clever little wife Agnes Cain-Brown return to again claim attention from music lovers. The story has an Alaskan setting and is set to charming melodies, which are well looked after by the several mem bers of the company. Miss Cain Brown's "Gold Along the Rivers" is beautifully rendered and so is Mr. Girard's "Totem Pole" . song with chorus. Walzer and Dyer are a keen pair. The youthful Dyer Is a comedienne of quality, apt and saucy, and the two put across a clever song and chatter and eccentric stepping act. Ixmnie Nace is an interesting and picturesque brunette beauty who sings Other Measures- to Be Put on Ticket in. November Method Cuts Election Cost. Three measures, all relating to the financial affairs of the street railway company, as reflected in the fares paid by the street-car riders, will be on the city ballot at the special eiec tion to be held in conjunction with the state election Kriday. Other measures which city commis sioners had planned to present were set aside to await the regular city election in November. This was done in order to reduce the expense of the special election this week, for had the commissioners placed more than the three measures on the ballot they would have been called upon to ap prove at -least one-third and possibly one-half of the total election cost in Multnomah county. As it is, the city will be required to pay one-fifth of the election cost. Those favoring the measures assort that by pasage of the city's proposals heavy mercantile interests who now contribute nothing to the support of the street car maintenance will be forced to pay a small part of this cost. It is cited that general business in Portland is dependent to a large tlegree on the street-car traffic and therefore it would be fair for such interests to join in the general costs. The three measures were referred to the voters following a careful in vestigation made at the behest of the majority members of the public serv ice commission. The measures, to gether with the ballot titles as they appear on the ballot, are as follows: Charter Amendment Submitted to the otera by the Council. Charter amendment providing for relief to owners of street railway franchises from the payment of any charge for the use of streets, from furnishing free trans portation to policemen and firemen, and from payment of bridge tolls In excess of one cent for each car croKslng such bridges. and providing for a tax levy of five-tenths of one mill for the year 190 and a levy of three-tenths of one mill each year there after for the purpose of making up the deficit created by such relief. Shall the Charter be so amended? COO TKS. 601 NO. Charter Amendment Submitted to the Voters by the Council.

One of the cleverest acts of its variety is Arthur Nelson's exhibition of his happy family of cats. He calls them "Little kittens whose tails crmile waggy welcome" and that is quite true. The little cats and big cats are well kept and smiling and amiably go through a series of clever tricks. They box and climb ropes and their leaping from a height to Nelson's (shoulder's is sensational. In a boxcar two commediiane, Alex ander and Mack arrive and set the house to roaring at their, comedy exchange, their songs and parodies. Their tramp costumes are riots. The 11th episode in the reel life of Jack Dempsey as "Dare Devil Jack" is being shown. - MAYOR ROLPH IS VISITOR SAX TJos JUAXCISCO EXECUTIVE BOOSTS JOltXSOX.

"I have been sendin; snips here for years sent them when I waa the only one who would' do so because of the bar at the mouth of the Columbia river. I am the only one who sends ships above the bridecs, and the ships have taken down their sticks, but I could Just as well buy lumber at other ports. "I have contracted to take several log; rafts from the Columbia river to San Dicco and San I'edro. We have brought coal here and shipped out wheat and lumber. I have taken the lumber from Oregon to build ships and have sent the ships here to take out carpro. These things I mention to show that I am interested in Portland and In Oregon.

POLITICIAN FOR ROAD BILL Ralph Williams iiives Indorse ment to 4 Per Cent Measure. The 4 per cent road bonding amend ment deserves the support of every voter in Oregon, according to Ralph E. "Williams, republican national com mitteeman, who returned Friday night from Chicago, where he had gone to make arrangements for the republican convention in co-operation with the other committeemen. 'When I see any measure relating to good roads I always vote for it.' said Mr. Williams at the Portland hotel last night. "I be,lleve that I am assessed as closely as any other tax payer in Oregon but I know the value of good roads and the quick returns from the investment," he continued. 'Think of it: this state is assessed at SI. 000.000.000 and if the road bond ing amendment carries the property will enhance in value so rapidly that i year or so it will amount- to SI, 500,000,000. Road Bonds Passage Predicted. "The road bonds will pass, is my guess, said Myron woodarci, pres ident of the Westport Lumber com pany and vice-president and general manager of the Silver tails Lumber company. "There has been so great demand for good roads that the comment in Marlon county has been most favorable and the campaign of education has been carried to every nook and corner with good results, I am sure." .

It deservedly is of premier importance on the new bill. It is in the nature of a gorgeous oriental scenic novelty featuring a l'esgv Rogers and for that matter five other girls equally talented. A clever contrivance in electric lighting throws a series of charming oriental pictures in beautiful color harmonies on a screen wherein the handsome Peggy Rogers forms the motif for the various subjects.
