The Kwk4 Ball" by the Portland Opera Moctatloiu attracted a Urge audience to The Auditorium. The principal sang with; ern greater Success than on Friday night, and Shared alike In the apptauae which in M aral Instances bordered on evatlons. Vmbwlto Horranilno, the New York ten dr.

Having beoome beU let acquainted with the acoustics or tne large building, he sang with greater force and this added to the brill tan cr of fejia performance. As aa actor, he es eeede moot of the tenors that have been featured In grand opera In this city In sanr years. The role of Richard, while containing-many Vocal difficulties, is ven more esacting from the histrionic standpoint Mm.

The role for the principal basso in the opera ( less prominent than In moat of the Verdl works, and therefore Mr. Moehof- gky did not havs the opportunity that spany admirers of his voire wished for. The chorus work and ensemble again proved the beet ever attained by the association, and the orchestra filled its part nobly. The dainty dancing of the billet In the ballroom seen of the fourth act was one of the gems of the performance, and much credit Is due AJrs May Brown, who had charge of it. Appreciation of the excellent achieve, fhrnt of Director General Robert Cor- nicclnl was demonstrated by waves of applause as he t-pxd to the conduct-1 r'e stand at the beelnnlna: of each act.

By cutting out, along heavy and dotted lines and holding before a strong light so that shadow falls on the wall, a startling likeness of martyred president will be discovered. a light that the shadow falls upon the wall. . The Portland "Groom, remembering the historic cut-out, recently asked his sis ter in the East to find it among their father's effects and she did so. The original copy waa too much effected by time to warrant sending away, but the sister made a copy of it by tracing and sent the duplicate here. which his father, Abe Qroom, brought home from' the fighting after his escape through the famous "tunnel" that led to liberty from Llbby prison. The elder Groom's prison comrade, whose name has long since been forgotten, took a piece of cardboard and, with a sharp pen knife out out a "negative" for a shadowgraph portrait of President Lincoln.

And from It will come, if-the exposition plana do not go awry. a special election in May. 1922, coinci dent In time and place with the primary election, for the expression of the final verdict of the taxpayers of the state upon the exposition question. Governor Olcdtt has expressed his approval of the exposition idea and that idea may not be carried out to its fin ality without a special session and the1 submission of the financing scheme to the people for their approval or rejec tion. '"So It has been taken for granted universally that an affirmative vote at the Portland election meant a special session and if it willed a special elec tion. And It seems to be the general thought that this session will be con vened some time during-the early days of January. The probability of a special session naturally raises tne question or wnai that session will do if called. Will such a session confine Its attention solely to the exposition matter? Governor Olcott called one special session, and he dreams of It yet of nights. It was not a pleas ant time for the governor's office. OTHER ISSCES LOOM And now, Just as sure as the law making body is convened one of the first things It will do will be to lock horns with the governor over his veto of the so called "jitney bill." There has been a current assumption that a BDecial session could not take up a vetoed bill for consideration, but that any measure hampered by the govern nor's disapproval must await tne regu lar session. This assumption does not seem to be well founded, however, so that the special session can take up the Olcott vetoes and either override or sustain them as it may desire, or it can introduce and pass similar bills and put them up to the executive office to stand the test again. There is no doubt about the existence of a widespread public demand for some adnnuate rerulatlon of the use of the paved highways of the state oy ireigm bearing trucks and passenger carrying mntnr' vehicles. Heavy loads and ex cessive speed are pounding the highways to pieces and county autnoruies ana uie highway authorities of the sate are ae manding relief. The railroads on the otner nana are inaiatine that the unregulated 'Jitney busses" in interurban passenger traffic is turning the profitable operation of electric lines in the Willamette vaiiey Into deficits. Therefore the adjustment of these problems will be sure to be at tempted, and there is bitter reeung lat ent In the accomplishment of the task. I5C0ME TAX LEGISLATION But of even more Importance to the general taxpaylng public of the state is the certainty that the question of state Income tax legislation will be brougnt tntn the onecial session should it be called. The Injection of this problem will open the door to a wide range of controversy and contention. It will, un doubtedly, bring into conflict two 011- ferent groups, each wltn an income tax plan and bill of Its own ana it win, 01 necessity, spread out the whole puszle of the readjustment of . Oregon's tax Urws for the legislature to ponder and solve, if It can. The State Grange, under the active leadership of Charles E. S pence, nas been working Industriously over an tn cbme tax bill for months past It has Its bill practically, If not entirely, reaay for final action. It has planned to put the measure before the voters at me general election of 1922. through, the initiative petition route. At the same time tne tax investiga tion mmmlMlon. headed by I. w. uay and includlne Henry E. Reed, Walter M. Pierce, C. C. Chapman and Charles a Brand, has been dlgfflng into tne in- vuna T ta. riffle Oil itS Own hOOk. If the special session is called it wiu lay ; Its proposed law before tne legislators nrt k that thev DUt it on the ballot either at the special, or at the general election as may be determined. The commission bill and tne grange proposal are not apt to Jioe. ior tne Ideas of Day on the one hand and of Snence on the other are more likely to I cross than to coincide. ! TROUBLESOME PROBLEM tint he this as it may it will be a difficult and a delicate task to draft any Income tax bill that would meet witn that spontaneous and Immediate legisla tive favor, necessary to secure the enact ment of such, a measure - Within the crowded time limitation of a special session. In the first place, an aajust ment of necessity -would be required be tween the personal income tax and the property tax features of any law that might be drafteo. in omer wurus, u.c total aggregated Income of the state's citizenship drafted within the statute n-nuld havB to be ascertained, ana classi fied, aa the basis from which the in come tax rate should be calculated and fixed. - And in the second place, mis basis and rate would have to be recon ciled with and balanced against the property tax levy. So that me two com WtimI would yield money enough, but ot too much, to finance tne ataio gov ernment, blanketing the tajfload evenly and equitably over the whole citizenship to touch and draw from the visible prop-' erty now taxed and that invisible which now escapes its share of the govern mental burden. This, in itself, is a man's sised Job, but added to it is the still more intricate task of the elimination of the double taxation which might easily - come through a hastily constructed income tax law unsynchronised with the exist- In theory and practice ex real property taxation, which, if not guarded against. would void the whole effort. And. just as a sidelight and to make things more interesting, Herbert Gordon Is planning to present a bill to prohibit the use of tax money for the advance ment. or defeat of any movement to tax the people, either of a state, a county or a city. He has In mind primarily the action of the Portland school board in using school money in support of Us recent and unsuccessful effprt to put over a school bona issue in roruana. He has a bill up bis sleeve to prevent any such thing in the future any place In the state. Then. too. there are other things In the wind, legislative pets and political hopes, ambitions and reprisals a whole kettle full of bubbling trouble waiting for Governor Olcott to lift the lid and let the steam escape. Sick Man Carried . To Polls to Vote For 1925 Exposition Undismayed by a painful accident which confined him to bed at St. Vln cents hospital, G. C Sanderson, manager of Sandy's kodak shop, insisted upon being carried to a polling place Saturday afternoon that he might cast his ballot for the J 925 exposition tax measure. "The 192S exposition will be the biggest thing that ever- happened to Oregon," Sandy stated,, "and. so long as I'm able to make a mark on a brJlot I shall In sist on doing my duty by the city and the state." Sanderson . was placed on a cot and carried to the polling place In an ambundance. 2000 STUDENTS CLEAR BUILDING IN RECORD III Fire Drill at Jefferson High School Empties Big Structure in Just One Minute 10 Seconds point of efficiency, according to Gren felL Aa soo mm th alarm la turned la ' the members of th squad ssssmble at their respective stations, manning the boae racks In th Halls, Inspect each room to see that everyone Is out of ttte building and report to the chief.

Line Washed Out Near Ostrander Kelso, Wash-, Nov. 19. Both tracks of the O-W. R. k N. near Ostrander were washed out about 5:30 o'clock this afternoon, holding up all traffic on Use line. A train which left Portland at 4 o'clock is held at Kalama and a south bound train is stalled at Castle Rock. The trouble occurred when a culvert be came blocked. Water backed up and took out about 40 feet of the roadbed to a depth of from 13 to 15 feet Road Master P. L. Demming does not expect to complete the repairs before Sunday morning. One minute and ten seconds to clear a three-story building ; one that covers two city blocks, of some 2000 pupils was the record made at Jefferson High school in a fire drill held last week under the supervision of Fire Marshal Edward GrenfelL This Is the best record of any of the Portland high schools of the same class of building records in the marshal's office showed. Unannounced the fire marshal walked into the building and asked Hopkin Jen kins, principal of the school, to sound the fire alarm. The strident noise of a siren sounded throughout the halls soon as the button was pressed and ac tion was Immediately forth coming. The school fire squad manned the sta tions at the various hose racks on all floors and In an orderly fashion the pu plls marched from the building. The en tire evolution was carried out without confusion or excessive noise. BtCORD WI5S PRAISE "This shows the value of drill" : the firemarshal commented ; "for everyone seems to know what to do and how to do it The record is fast enough, for any attempt to speed it up would be dan gerous. If the line Is moving too fast some one Is liable to stumble and be in Jured. Another thing to be considered is the fact that a line moving too fast is more easily confused if obstacles are found to be In the way while one moving at the speed these pupils leave the build ing at, is under better control." Jefferson has been known throughout the United States as the high school with the most efficient fire drilL When Jay W. Stevens was fire marshal for the city he offered a cup to the school main taining the best record for a year. The cup If won three times in succession was to be the permanent trophy of the school winning it The cup was won by Jeffer son in competition with the rest of the schools of the city.

Raising of $1,000,000 by subscription would be postponed until after the pri mary electton. according to Powers. At a meeting of th executive committee last week it was determined not to ask far private subscriptions until the voters of the state had taken action on the pro posed tax levy.

Olmstead will leave for New Tork Monday and will b absent two weeks. John F.

Organisation of a state-wide campaign in preparation for the primary election In May would be undertaken Immedi ately. Graftk stated, and workers who participated In the city election cam paign would be asked to continue their efforts for the success of the state tax levy at the polls. A meeting of the executive committee of the exposition will be held Monday to outline plans for the campaign, according to Gratke. A telegram received by Julius L. Meier from Eugene. Saturday evening, carried the enthusiastic favor of 17.000 people gathered at Hay-ward field for the 1925 exposition.
