UNLESS M REQUIRE IT SUEZ IS SCENE OF ANTI-BRITISH RIO TING CHRIS TMAS DA Y BECA USE OF REMOVAL OF EGYPTIAN NA TIONALISTS MEASURES DEAD UNLESS SIGNED 5 One Point Now in Question Relates to Where Legal Action Will be Undertaken. UMATILLA COURT WOULD BE BEST THINKS RITNER Under Extreme Pressure East Oregon Senators Stood Pat Against Portlanders. Senator Roy W. Ritner, pres ident of the state senate, will not Sign the Portland fair mea sure unless required to do so by court action. He announced this position shortly after his arrival home this morning and notified Senator Gus Moser by wire of his decision. Senator Ritner takes the position that the measures were not legally passed by the senate and has a written opinion from the attor ney general upholding the view that 16 votes are required by the constitution to pass a mea sure in the senate. Suggests L'miiiilla Court If the Portland fair boosters wish to try court notion to force Senator Itltner to sign the measures they must do ho within five days as the bills be come dead unless signed within that time. A Question now up. is where mandamus proceedings will be started If such action Is determined upon. Mr. Itltner suggests it would he logical for the 1'ortlandcrs to brlni? action In t mutilla county. HoweVer the Mar lon county court or tho Portland court might be used. Attorneys seem to be In the dark as to where the action will be started. The dispute over the num ber of Voles needed to make a major ity arises out of the death of Senator Hume. " Protected tho Public In an Interview this morning Sena tor ltitnef declared that one strong reason actuating the 1 4 senators who stood steadfast against the gasoline tax for the Portland fair was that those senators regard It as improper for such a subject to be passed upon j nt the primary election. Usually onlyj a one. third vote Is out for the primary election and hence there would be be! ter opportunity to railroad a measure. through than there would be at the special election in the fall whero a heavier vote is always cast. If Port land wishes the people to vote on the fair measure they have the opportun ity of presenting the matter under In itiative, petition nt the regular election next November. It la the general opinion that Port land will proceed with exposition plans even If the atate refuses to bear 50 pef cent of Its cost. So much has been done already that It will be difficult ' for the metropolis to drop the fair. ' Strong Ircsiire I'sed That the U senators who stood (Continued from pago 1.)

PLIGHT OF FARMER MADE RELIEF WORK NECESSARY Farmer is Only Man in World Who Always Sells Wholesale But Buys Everything Retail. WASHINGTON, Hoc. 2ti. The I agricultural bloc came into being as a logical result of the situation ex isting among the fanners of the country and will disolve Itself Into thin air Immediately that situation is solved, according to Senator Cap per, of Kansas. He declared all the alarm about jthe group of agriculturalists in thr. i national legislature is without ade quate foundation. In- his annual message, President Harding com plained ahout this bloc, and Secre tary Weeks alxd - recently took a wliaek at It. Tapper said the group was not a defiance of anything or anybody, but was merely for the pur. ipose of seeing that the tanners got what was due them.

IE Boviet Government Does What it Can to Preserve Home, Maintain it for Pilgrims. YASNAYA I'OI.VANA, Hussia, Pec. 21). (A. p.) .Miss Alexandra Tolstoi, the favorite daughter of Count Leo Tolstoi, the novelist and chief liter ary figure In Hussia during the half century proceeding his death in 1910, Is the leader of the movement to save the great writer's home from decay and to make here on the estate a pon ular university where lovers of Tol stoi's writings and creed may come, sluilv and even settle Indefinitely. ''Tolstoi's wnN a universal mind. He does not belong to Hussia entirely," said the famous writers daughter, "and for that reason I feel that Kng land, Prance and the Pulled Mates have an interest In this historic place. The Soviet government is doing what It can to preserve the home and main tain It as a place for pilgrims, but It hasn't the funds. Anyway, the mater- 1,llf' nitist come from abroad, and have been promised by Kalenln, chair man of the Central Kxecutlvn Commit tee of all tho Soviets, than contribu tions of materials or money will not be Interfered with or diverted." Miss Tolstoi, who Is a vigorous type of woman nnd hears physical and In telectiuil resemblance to her father, has been In Itussla since the general war. She was a field nurse during the war, and after the revolution, has been Imprisoned several times, once for eight months In the i.uhfunkn dun geons of Moscow, and was arrested during the summer for a few hours, as a member of the famine committee.
