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.

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.
Amendment of the Charter providing
that the owner of any street railway fran
chise shall, when any street on which
street rai I way tracks are located is here
after improved by an original or a new im
provement, pay only the excess cost of
such improvement occasioned by the exist
ence of such tracks in such streets, and
providing a tax levy of six-tenths of one
mill during the year 1920 and a levy of
three-tenths of one mill during each year
thereafter for the purpose of making up
the deficit created by such relief.
Shall the charter be so amended?
60 t res.
soa NO.
Charier Amendment Submitted to the
Voters by the Council.
Amendment of the charter providing
that the owner of any street railway fran
chise shall hereafter be relieved from the
payment of a certain portion of the cost
of reconstruction, maintaining and for re
pairing the track: area of any street in
which railway tracks are located and pro
viding a tax levy of one and one-half mills
during the year 190 and a levy of one
mill durinig each year thereafter for the
purpose of making up the deficit created
by such relict.

pleasant songs in a big happy voice
set to smiles plus personality.
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

exchange, their songs and parodies.
Their tramp costumes are riots.

I am here to appeal to tlie business
men of Oregon to support Senator
Johnson for president," announced
- James C. Kolph, mayor of San Fran
oiseo, who arrived at the Hotel Port
land yesterday. "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. There
is a stronK tie between California
and Oreiron: there are business of'
fices, and social relations closely con
nected and what is of benefit to Ore
con Is a benefit to California and
vice versa.
"Now, speaking1 as a business man.
I want the business men of Oregon
to have faith in Hiram Johnson. I
know he has ability and is capable
and honest and would make a good
president. 1 .would be willing to
write a guarantee that his business
course as president would be satisfac
tory to the business men of America.'
Mayor Rolph speaks tonight at As
toria and tomorrow he will probably
sneak in Portland. Thursday he will
be traveling back to California and
will speak from the car steps at sev
eral of the towns.
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." .

JAPANESE revue that is
XX ncse only in atmosphere and cos
tuming and pictorial background is
one of the most artistic acts that has
ever come to Pantages. 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. She is
by turns a butterfly, or riding on
silver crescent, or a cherry blossom
belle and a doxen kindred pictures.
