Representative 'Abrams of this county then took ap the fight for postponement, urging the tax repeal measure be referred to the committeo oa taxation and as sessment: : "I think haste Is unnecessary," asid Abrams. "I do not blame the goTernor for his veto: he had to act. But I think It true that restoration of this realty Ipvt means the bankruptcy of some of our counties. I think it Is a reflection on. our ability as a legislature to say we can't . pass other means of revenue. Personally I do not think either a general realty levy or a gener al" sales tax should be approved y this legislature." Mr. Lonergan, replying to Abrams, said he thought the legislature was rightfully sub ject to criticism for passing the millage repeal without ascertain ing it the sales tax had passed the senate.

Sworn' Duties of Legislature Citra Lonergan took up the tight for sustaining the governor's veto. Ho cited constitutional mandates for the levy of the realty tax and declared that legislative nullifi cation of the tax Is a "strong de parture from oar sworn duties as legislators bound to uphold the constitution." Lonergan said he earnestly hoped the real property levy would not need to f tay but pending a time, when substitutes were provided- he insisted the tax remain and that the gover nor's veto be sustained. Representative Winslow of Til lamook county sided with Loner gan and contended that reenact ment of the property levy would be a strong inducement for the legislature to stay in session un til a substitute levy was provid ed. "I doubt If any revenue bills will pass the people this year unless they are sugar-coated with the inducement of taking off the property tax," Winslow declared. Winslow scored the stated prop erty tax as one which did not col lect three but six or seven mills from counties, since money had to come in cash to Salem where as tax payments generally were not being made on more than a 50 per cent basis. Representative Hilton then pleaded for more time to consid er the veto. He said he was sor ry to hear of the veto and want ed more time to consider the con stitutionality of the tax repeal bill.

The high spot of the day polit ically was the release shortly aft er the veto message of aa unslrfv ed communication containing mainly thinly veiled pokes atthe administration. The release was made from State Treasurer Hol man's office by his secretary and distributed to numerous legislat ors. While no signature was con tained on the statement legislat ors commonly ascribed the docu ment to Mr. Holman. The statements that "secretlve ness" and a "reign of terror" ex isted in the office of the board of control were considered Holman's latest attack on William Elnslg whom he unsuccessfully sought to have removed as secretary of the board of control. The pronouncement was consid ered another development in the open warfare between Meier and Holman. The latter urged passage of the warrant bill In the special session and was supposedly slight ed when the governor yesterday vetoed the bfll and stated In his message that "the bill was not aa administration measure." The unsigned communication from the Holman office follows: "Get copy of state payroll and standardise before reducing sal aries and wages by percentage cuts. Cut salary of state purchas ing agent. "Inquire Into traveling and transportation expenses of state officials and employees. "Study excellent methods of C. H. Gram, labor commissioner, for control of transportation costs and purchase of automobiles. "Remedy auditing methods of state which la my opinion seem to bo satisfied with checking ar ithmetic and legality without ef fectively testing the necessity and reasons Dlen ess of claims. "Analyse the state budget. It was submitted to the legislature hurriedly and without consulta tion with department heads and contains Inaccuracies. "Eliminate budget director's de partment and governor's secret fund. "Control expense of private au tomobile use (points reached by rail or bus). "Office of board of control: se- cretiveness. reign of terror. "Board of control: there is no regular place or time of meetings.

DOAK Warner Bros. Xlsteocw Today Warren William la "The Mateh King." Warner Bros. Capitol Today Karloff, Motrin Douglas In The Old Dark House." Grand Today Vaudeville, and Boa- coo Ates and Tom Eeene la "Renegades of the West." Hollywood Today Bob Steele la "The Man from Hell's Edges." For the first time In the history of motion pictures one great act ress is seriously playing a role that la strongly reminiscent of an other great contemporary screen player. The role played by Lily Damlta in the First National picture "The Match King," which opens at the Elsinore theatre today is said to be a thinly disguised Impersona tion of a. very wen known Swedish-born actress, for whom ( late financial baron Is popularl) supposed to hare had a romantic, but unrequited, attachment. The ehlef character of the pic ture, a part portrayed by Warren William, Is Inspired by newspaper headlines that revealed a start ling fraud following the suicide of a financial wizard. The character Is drawn In vivid coloring by Eln ar Thorvaldson in her novel 'and from which the screen play was adapted by Houston Branch and Sidney Sutherland. The play touches on a romantic phase in high financing and mon umental swindles that are almost unbelievable unless it were based upon the facts as shown in the business life of the man who In spired the story. One of the most tense scenes ever staged for a motion picture marks the climax of "The Men From Hell's Edges," which feat- ares Bob Steele and is now show ing at the Hollywood theatre. The story builds up to a show down between Bob Steele, in the role of "Flash" Manning and Ju lian Rlvero as "Lobo," both of. whom are famous for gun-play. With the exception of a few in terior scenes, "Renegades of the West," RKO-Radio Pictures' col orful outdoor romance starring Tom Eeene coming to the Grand today, was photographed and re corded in its natural locale. "Renegades of the West," from a story by Frank Richardson Pearce, Is a sweeping romance of Arizona and the southwest when cattle rustling flourished. Sup porting the youthful star, Tom Keene, are Betty Furness, Roscoe Ates, Rockcllffe Ftellowes, Carl Miller, Jack Pennlck, Max Wag ner, Roland Southern, James Ma son and Josephine Ramous. Today at the Capitol will open the long awaited engagement of Universale tense, electric drama of one terrifying night, "The Old Dark House," hailed everywhere as a masterpiece of frenzied ex citement and gripping suspense, produced by the makers of the greatest thrill-producing pictures ever filmed, "Phantom of the Op era," "Dracula."
