A comedy sketch with a touch of the pathetic, an Indian maid who sings and dances, six whirl wind acrobats, a singing and dan-' cing team with new songs and bright chatter, and J. Warren Kerrigan in the biggest film of his career thaCs photoville, as the Strand is offering it in the bill opening today for the half week. "Aunt Belinda's Legacy" is the sketch, presented by that capable comedienne, Millie Stevens, sup ported by Margaret Minton and Babe Holmes. The sketch was a hit throughout the East. Its quaint comedy is touched with pathos, and Aunt Belinda, disap pointed in love in her youth, keeps love in her heart to be poured forth in the happy ending of the piece. Elona is the granddaughter of Sitting Bull, whose strategy ac complished, the Custer massacre in the Little Big Horn country. She is a true aboriginal type, and her act, singing and dancing, is original and of the kind that cannot well be Imitated because there are so few Indian girls who would look well in the spotlight. C'aine and Odotn have the rep utation of having one of the smartest singing and dancing numbers in vaudeville, and their advance notices herald them as employing a nerw kind of vaude ville comedy the subtle variety, which, if they indeed have it. will be a welcome change. The Morocco Six are acrobats regular daredevil acrobats, who throw each other around the stage as if danger were an obso lete word and all the hospitals closed. "The Gay Lord Waring" is the name of the Kerrigan film, and is said to be this popular actor's best achievement. . ing he will come to Portland on the Oregon Electric, arriving here at noon. He will go to the Imperial Hotel where he will be the principal speaker at the weekly meeting of the Ad Club, an or ganization composed of local business men. His -schedule calls for him to leave Portland Wednesday afternoon for an engagement at Salem the eame evening. Chief Talk Thursday. His principal Portland address will be at the Masonic temple on Thursday evening. Thia meeting will be under auspices of the Oregon Republican Club. It is probable that John Mc Court, president of the club, will pre side. All voters of the state, whether Republicans or not, are being urged to hear Senator Burton at the Masonic temple meeting. A number of speeches are scheduled for Eastern Oregon later in the week. Including Baker on Friday and La Grande and Pendleton on Saturday. While on his Western swing. Senator Burton also will tour the State of Washington. He plans to return through Portland after his invasion of Eastern Oregon, and go thence to Seattle and Tacoma. Senator Burton visited Portland last Fall ai,d delivered an address before the Chamber of Commerce at a noonday luncheon. He was not on a political errand then, however, and spoke on river and harbor appropriations instead of on political issues. Burton Popular In Ohio. For many years Mr. Burton was chairman of the livers and harbors committee in the lower house and ob tained considerable prominence for his war on the widely-heralded and much condemned "pork barrel." Senator Burton is Ohio's "favorite son" to.- the Republican nomination. He is a resident of Cleveland and rep resented the Cleveland district in the lower house. He served one term in the Senate. He is an acknowledged authority on economic questions and is author of several books on that subject. SPECIAL TRAIN PROPOSED Plans Being: Made for Meeting of Federated Women's Clubs.

Session Called at Suggestion of Benton League to Plan Way to Keep Down Levies. A state-wide organization of tax payers will be formed" at a meeting of county representatives in the Imperial Hotel in Portland next Saturday. The session has been called at the suggestion of the Benton County Tax payers' Association, but has the active support of various taxpayers' organiza tions in other parts of the state. R. K. Smith, editor of the Tax Liberator, of Roseburg. has been doing some of the preliminary work. He has invited the public officials of every county in the state to attend the Portland meeting. It is believed that each of the 35 coun ties will have three or more representa tives when the meeting opens at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. The main idea of the convention is to plan methods and means to keep the tax rate in the state at a minimum. Several plans, doubtless, will be sug gested. One tentative propo.sal is for a con stitutional amendment along tho lines of the Binghajn law passed by the last Legislature. The Bingham law prohibits an in crease in excess of 6 per cent over tliH highest rate in cither of tho two im mediately preceding years.
