T&H What Weil Dressed V Girls, Boys Will Wear i - -What the well-dressed flapper of 1928 is wearing is shown in "Harold Teen." which comes to be Oregon theater today. Not only do the feminine players wear he latest In fashions, but Arthur ake. who enacts the title role, ports some stunning styies in a sqaence where he is dressed a"s a "hlc flapper to carry through .his initiation Into a secret fraternity. "Harold Teen,- from the popu 4ar comic strip of that name, was directed by Merry LeRoy for First National Pictures. COOLIDGE VETO BRINGS MUCH ADVERSE TALK (ContinJ from paga 1.) were as follows: 1 1 "Its attempted price-fixing fsJ ,ftviacy. "The tax characteristics of the equalization fee. mun- "The widespread bureaucracy which It would set up. "Its encouragement to proflt .fring and wasteful distribution f by middlemen. "Its stimulation of oTerproduc f 1 tion. and S f "Its aid to our foreign agrlcul ' ' tural competitors." ' Throughout the message were j t such terms a$ "cruelly deceptive." & ; "highly objectionable. "repug- 8 ;, nant," "fantastic promise," and V "governmental price fixing." The ( president compared the bill lo his Jj own proposals for farm relief at . the beginning of the session say f ' inz that the latter would be in 3 ' accordance with the American trd A i dltlon and the American Ideal of j j reliance on and maintenance of 5 ' private initiative and individual responsibility." Of all the phases of the bill. Mr. Coolldge appeared to be most perturbed at tbe equalization fee feature. He declared It to be a "tax" and said It would involve "an extraordinary relinquishment of the taxing power on the part of congress." - "This taxation or fee." he eald. "would not be for purposes of rev enue in the accepted sense but would simply yield a subsidy for the special benefit of particular groups of processors and export ers." Another objection of the presi dent was that he felt the bill would stimulate overproduction, which he cautioned was the real hub of the farm problem in his annual message. 1 "The bill runs counter to an economic law (that of supply and demand) as well settled as the law of gravitation." the president said. "Increased prices decrease - con sumption; they also increase pro duction. The annals of the indus trial and agricultural world are replete with the catastrophes that have come In the wake of such at tempted distortions of one of the most fundamental principles of commercial relations." The message declared that the farmer haa profited since 1911 by Improved methods and said that "we should avoid the error of seek ing In laws tne cause ot the ills of agriculture." Recommending his proposal, he said the severity of the agricultural depression In the ! COMTXO 2TKXT SUNDAY DOLORES C06TELLO ... v TENDERLOIN with t - Conrad Nagel fast think, yon se I I !

V Av KuA The Portland Telegram on Friday featured t he above group of Manhattan Players of the popu lar Elsinore stock company which opens the Hipp odrome theater In that city this week. The open ing bill at Portland is "A Dollar a Week," the p iece which the Players opened with here. The Manhattan will produce "Your Neighbor's Business" at the Elsinore tomorrow and Saturday. United States however, must not be underestimated. If the measure Is enacted." Mr. Coolldge declared, "one would he led to wonder how long It would be before producers in other lines would clamor for similar 'equal izing' subsides from the public coffers. The lobbies of congress would be filled with emmis&aries from every momentarily distressed industry demanding stnilar relief 5t a burdensome surplus at the expense of the treasury. Once we plunged into the fu tile sophistries of each a system of wholesale commercial doles for special groups of middlemen and distributors at the expense of far mers and other producers. It is difficult to see what the tnd might be." What the final disposition of tbe McNary-Haugen farm relief bill Is to be was still undetermined to night with Senator McNary debat ing whether he would seek to have the bill sent back .to committee with instructions or whether he would attempt to override tho ve to. Tbe house will pay no official attention to the bill until the sen ate has acted. In the senate more than the two thirds vote needed to override the veto was obtained on passage but in the house the voting showed 26 ballots short of the necessary two thirds. Among the senators who e x pressed dismay over the veto were the two senators from South Da kota where President Coolldge spent .his vacation last summer. It was this: vacation that many western farm leaders hoped would give Mr. Coolldge a different out look on the agricultural question. Senator Nor beck of the president's vacationing state had this to say: "If the republican party needs the agriculture states next Novem ber as it has in tbe past It will be well to keep In mind that no can didate can win unless he has been aggressor in seeking Justice for the farmer." Senator McMaster. also from South Dakota, said: "The unfor tunate message breathes the spirit of industrialism."
