Ashland Items in Portland Telegram
of April 20.

Over $50 Ashlanders arrived at the
conclusion that Oregon products
make better dinner than delicacies
gathered from the far distant corners
of the earth. Hence the Civic I'M
provement Clubs home products din
ner. All the dishes served were Ore
gon products, donated for the greater
part by local merchants, with a cou-
pie of Portland wholesalers repre-
sented. The dinner, says the Ashland
Tidings, most assuredly provided a
convincing argument for buying Ore
gon food products.

The Week at
Vining Theatre

The bills which have been an
nounced for the Vining Theatre for
this week promise to equal the at
fractions which have made the past
two weeks such pleasurable ones for
the Vining patrons.
Tonight.
This evening Salvation Nell, with
Beatriz Micheena in the stellar role,
will be shown again. Those who saw
the production last evening pro-
nounce 1t one of the strongest picture
plays Of the season.
Tuesday.
On Tuesday evening comes Maclyn
Arbuckle in The Reform Candidate"
1t is most timely offering, coming
at this time when the interest of the
nation is centered on politics and
candidates.
THE reform candidate" is running
for mayor against the political ma
chine headed by Boss" Hoke, the
latter providing a stellar role for the
return to the film of the widely be-
loved Macyn Arbuckle. The ere
former" proved crooked, however,
and tries to buy off the boss for $751;
900. The swift retaliation of the iron
shod politician and then the soften
| ing influence of the briber's admir-
able wife, whom Hoke has always
worshiped from afar, provide sur
prises and excitement which make
THE Reform Candidate" a sterling
piece of drama.
Wednesday.
Marguerite Clark in Helene of the
North" with a magnificent cast OF
Famous Players is the attraction for
| "Wednesday night. Miss clark mas
captivated Ashland audiences time
after time, but as Helene she shows
myriad of characteristics hereto
fore undisplayed. Specially created
for this enhancing star, the picture is
virile story of the north woods with
shifting scenes to English society.
The play creates innImerable oppor-
tunities for the exploitation of Miss
Clark's wonderful pantomimic pow
ers.
Thursday.
On Thursday evening comes Will
liam S. Hart, the greatest actor OF
western characters, in burning
drama. Between Men" Mr.. Hart is
backed in this production by cast
such as is seldom assembled for a
screen play. Enid Markey and House
Peters are only two of the supporting
cast of stars.

INITIATED MEASURE PLANNED TO IMPROVE
 THE LEGISLATURE
Petitions Circulated Through out State Are Receiving
 General Endorsement From
 Supporters Of Non-Partisan

Petitions are being circulated throughout the Warren District as we'll as in every other community ln Arizona, to initiate an amendment to the State constitution providing for changes in the legislature which will insure better representation for the taxpayers, prevent tme-kllllnS tactlcs and promote economy.
 The merits of the proposed amend ment are universally admitted and the petit.osn are receiving general endorsement. It is a non-partlsan movement which is carrying the pro feet to success. 4 More than 2,OOO names have been enrolled in Maricopa county where the petitions were started. Equally encouraging reports are sent from other sections of the State. It is confidently expected that Cochise county will have supplied its quota of names within a short time when the petitions will have been adequately circulated.
 The proposed amendment provides that the membership of the two bodies remain as at present in number, but calls for one member of the senate from each county, and one senator at large for each 5.0U0 votes cast at the last preceding general election IF each county.
 It also provides for the election of one representative for each 1,5OO votes cast at the last preceding general cleo ton in the various counties by the boards of supervisors into legislative districts.
 These districts are required to be in compact form and no district snail include non-contiguous portions of any county. This districting process must be Gone prior to each election and not less than six months preceding it. In counties entitled to only one repre- sentative. such representative shall be elected from the county al large { The sessions of the legislature are i 70 be held bi-ennially and all other provisions pertaining thereto are very much the same as at present, so Tar as holding them are concerned and TOT the calling of special sessions. | Section twenty-ole of subdivision two of article four of the constitution is amended to read: The terms of of | nee Ol UltlllDtIS Ntit th iNcA'iN ture and all succeeding legislatures, shall be for four years" It also pro vides for the calling of special eiec- lions for the election Of members where vacancies exist.
 I If adopted, members will be allowed mileage at the rate of twenty cents per mil one way by the shortest prac- tical route at the opening of any reg ular or special session, and they shall be paid a salary of S4OO per annum' payable biennially upon the adjourn | ment of the regular session, but no | payment shall be made to any mem- Der who fails Co attend the session, and absence of ten days or longer from the session without being eXcus- ed, shall make the seat of such mem- Der liable to be declared vacant.

FOURTH COMMITTEE WORKS HARD ON BIG
 JULY CELEBRATION
Next Meeting Will Be Held Monday Evening. Plans Are Fast Crystalizlng And Dig Event Is Assured

Fourth of July arrangements, though 0eng rapidly furChered Dy the various committees Iii charge. are still in the making and little was accomplished last evening of a definite nature at the meeting of the general committee. The next meeting of the body Will be held next Monday evening"
 The three bands in the District, since the last meeting of the com mi-lee, have been seen ana price vas had on their services. It was found that the figure exceeded the temporary appropriation by about S15O. Definite action on this end o1 the celebration was deferred until the next meeting when representatives oi the musical organizations will be present.
 All of the subcommittee are hard at work on the various details of the affair The literary committee has an nounced it's choice for orator of the day, in Dr. NSn Klein-Smid, president of the University of Arizona. A program of about an hour, immediate ly following the parade is proposed. The fireworks will cost in the neigh bOrhoOd of $500 and will be set of on the Copper Queen hill. The exact spot is yet to be selected by the com mittee. Questions as to the possibili- ty Of securing the attendance of the military were frequently heard but it is not thought possible that any con rsiderable contingent of Uncle Sans troops will be available this year.
 Encouragement of the motorcycle race. which passes through the Dis trict on it's way to Tucson from Doug las, was proposed and it is possible some prizes will be hung up by the Bisbee people. An added attraction for the days entertainment was pro posed in a slow race" from Lowell to Bisbee. With the other sports this one. a laughmaker in the extreme, is expected to be a wonder.
