 The facts: During 1920 the State bureau of criminal identification re- ceived reports of 12,999 arrests throughout the State, as compared with 4O,925 last year. This is an in crease of 800 per cent, indicating that crime IS grvwing ten times faster than population.
 They said: "Minor crimes will di- minish."
 The facts: In 1920 the average number of prisoners in the San Fra's- cisco county Jail was 123, as con- pared with 364 for 1929. an increase of nearly 300 per cent.

GASOLINE BUILDS ROADS.

Consider the fact in the case vf the gasoline tax. Gasoline is now taxed m every State. The tax ranges from to 6 cents per gallon and from IS to J per cent of tho cost of the com, modity. Last year the revenue from this form of taxation tetaleds S449,- 73l,0OO. Eight years ago when fewer States taxed this fuel and when :ess gasoline was consumed the total taA collected was N,700,000.
 Ind then ask yourself where there is. another product or business, that could carry. such a. tremendous tax burden--where there is another tax that provokes so llttle grumbling by he. taxpayers. Where is there rro- duct that has steadily. lowered ii price as the tax on 1t has increased? :? These are not questions difficult to answer.
 E Automobile ownership and motor ing have such hold on the people that gas they will have at any cost. The automobile comes first--even be- fore clothes and food and medicine in many cases. There is little opposi- ton to. the gasoline tax because it IS providing the money with. which the nations highway improvement pro- gram is being carried on,, and the tax is collected a few cents at atime and by he chocolate-coatM method of in- clnding it in the gasoline price.

RECLAMATION DRAWS
Divergent OPINIONS
Hyde Opposes Hoover Policy, While
Wilbur Holds It Backbone
of Far West"
By the Associated Pres

By the Associated Press.
Divergent views on reclamation pol
icy were before President Hoover to-
day from two of his cabinet members.
Secretary Hyde, in his annual report,
held the policy, involving a subsidy to
agriculture expansion" in the form Of
interest-free loans, was seemingly in
consistent with the efforts now being
made by the Federal Government TO re-
strict agricultural production"
1T is a serious question" he contin-
ued, whether. in view of the existing
overproduction in agriculture, It is ad-
visable to promote agricultural expan-
sion through irrigation and drainage"
Secretary Wilbur of the Interior De-
partment, ca the other hand, cham
pioned reclamation as the backbone of
the Far West"
THE fundamental question as to
whether or not it shall continue" he
said, should be answered in the affir-
NATIVE so long as development Is car
ried out along sound economic lines"
Objections, Wilbur added, have been
founded chiefly on misconception of the
supposed competition between these
new lands and the older farming re-
gions, which are already burdened with
overproduction. Actually only about
seyen-tenths of l per cent of the Ma
tons cultivated area is included in
reclamation projects"

NATION IS AMAZED
AT DISTRICT PLIGHT
Loss of Voting Right to Citi-
zens Brought Home by Re-
quest for Sample Ballots.

Jesse C. Suter, vice chairman of the
Citizens Joint Committee on National
Representation for the District of CO.
lumbia, has a stack of specimen ballots
on hand, sent by voters in various sec
tions of the country who had learned
to their amazement that it was possible
for people to reside in the Nation al
Capital all their lives without ever hav-
ing had the opportunity of seeing such
universal thing as a political ballot.
Unusual Discovery Made.
Mr.. Suter made this rather unusual
discovery right after the November
elections while on duty with the Ma
tional Representation booth of the
Washington Industrial Exposition. After
a number of persons, well past middle
age, had confessed to him with some
embarrassment that they had never
seen a ballot and knew nothing about
election machinery because they had
always lived in Washington where suf-
frage is denied. he realized that many
others must be in the same plight.
Then he remembered his own case. Mr..
Suter says he was well past his ma
jority before he had ever seen ballot
That such a condition should exist
at the seat of the Federal Government
appeared as news" to Mr. Suter, who
forthwith asked The Star to help in a
public appeal for sample ballots which
his committee intends later to put on
exhibition Others outside of Washing
ton heard about it too and were struck
by the unique situation that exists in
the National Capital. They had heard
of backwoods folk who still think in
terms of Grover Cleveland or William
Mckinley. but the fact that some people
living in the Capital of the Nation don't
know what a ballot looks like struck
them as something to be corrected.
Hamlets Send Specimens.
1t wasn't long before specimen ballots
began to filter into Mr.. Suffers Office in
The Star Building Some came from
little towns in New York, others from
Connecticut, New Jersey and nearby
States where voting is taken as a mat
ter of course. Some of the ballots were
accompanied by instructions and po-
litical pamphlets, all of which serve a
useful educational purpose for those
who are unfamiliar with election ma
chinery.
When he has accumulated ballots
from every State, Mr.. Suter will as
semble an instructive exhibit in the
hope that those who have never had
the opportunity to see one might take
advantage. Mr. Suter believes that the
existence of such persons here explodes
the theory stressed by opponents of Ma
tional Representation that most of the
people in Washington have the voting
privilege, anyway.

Evidence of buck deer's revenge on

The buck, its antlers stained with

The man was Wellington de Groat of

companions reconstructed the battle:
De Groat stalked the deer and sent
bullet into its body. AS he ran forward
with his knife to deliver the death blow,
the animal staggered to its feet and
lunged at the hunter. De Groat was
crushed against the frozen ground by
the animals antlers. He lay there I'M
conscious, and either died of the injury
or froze to death.

EX-RAY TUBE MAKES.
RAD|UM SEEM WEAK
Scientists See Machine so
Times More PoWerfuI-HaS
$4,000 Volts.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, December 4.-Won-
ders of new and powerful X-ray ma
chimes whose potentialities are I'M
fathomed even by their creators are
being unfolded here before scientists
attending the convention of the Radio
logical Society of North America.
The greatness of these machines-an
X-ray tube of $500 VOLTS said to pro-
duce more than so times as much
power as all the radium known to
exist-was exhibited before the scientists
last night at Pasadena by DR.. Robert A.
Millikan, noted physicist.
This tube produces rays approx
mating in length those of the pene-
trating gamma ray of radium and
hence, in some respects, Is capable OF
doing the work now done by the $5,000,-
100000 worth of radium which the
world thus far has yielded.
Long Study Needed.
Dr. Millikan and DR.. C. C. Lauritson,
both of California Institute of Tech
nology, developed the big tube. It's
potentialitieS in the fields of medicine,
physics and engineering the noted
scientist said, were undetermined and
might require years for discovery.
Development Of the tube, DR.. Millikan
said, opened three principal fields of
research-a physical study of the prop
critics of the gamma ray, research into
the nature of metals and other opaque
substances and the study of the X-ray's
effect upon plant and animal tissue.
The latter field, he said, would de-
termine whether the big tube would
produce rays containing the curative
properties Of the ordinary X-ray and
OF radium and whether it could be used
in the treatment of cancer and other
diseases. DR.. Millikan stated the tube
might be useful to engineers in de-
termining whether masses of metals
contain inhomogeneities.
Effect on Tissues Sought.
DR.. Charles Packard of the Columbia
University School of Cancer Research
arrived last night and announced he
would spend the Winter studying the
X-ray tubes effect upon living tissues.
He said he would expose fruit fly eggs
to the rays and later under a micro
scope count the number Of eggs dying
from exposure to the rays.
With this and other experiments DR..
Packard said he hoped to fuw.ssh the
medical world with enough daSa to de-
termine the giant tubes probable effect
upon human tissues.
Saving lives and limbs of wounded
persons by immediate X-ray diagnosis

In the soft tissue was described by DR..
d. A. Rhinehart Of Little Rock, Ark.
Use I'm Leprosy Cases.
DR.. w. Edward Chamberlain of Phil
acelphia, explained that leprosy
markedly affected the bones of the
hands and feet and that by X-ray dag
nosis might be watched and kept purely
localized.
DR.. Carl C. Parker of Pasadena ex-
planned how X-ray diagnosis made pos
sible safe treatment of fractures of the
vertebra
DR.. Albert Soiland of Los Angeles told
the convention that cancer could be de-
stroyed and life saved only If caught
before entering the blood stream.
