Paragraphs OF
Rolph's Speech

1.-The greatest business of the
state is the business of government,
and it is the least understood. Gov
ernment should be conducted on
lines of economy, but not on a
basis of parsimony."
"Overcrowding prisons are a
breeding place for future crimes.
where broken, dispirited men merely
plot against their fellows; and
soured and embittered, they plot
against society. state prisons should
be so enlarged that they will give
opportunity for segregation and
constant and wholesome employ
ment for the inmates, even at the
expense of building additional pris-
ons."
II am well aware that state and
local taxes have become serious
burden on real estate, agriculture,
industry, business and the whole
population. To keep taxation as
low as possible without impairing
the service which modern, humane
and civilized government ought to
render to the public will be my
constant concern"
Our farmers are earning less for
their labor and investment than
ever before in the history Of agri-
culture. Perhaps the department
needs all the money it has request
ed, but surely large proportion
should be spent that more people
may eat Of the bounty Of our rich
soil and that our people who culti-
vate it should have some reward
for their labor
'One of my urgent ambitions as
governor will be to accomplish
something in the way of stimulat-
ing and reviving the languishing
industry. 1 would like to
see the entire mother lode ana all
the mining regions humming with
activity"
II expect to ask our highway au-
thorities to cooperate in construc-
ton of roads inside incorporated
cities that are log'Vally direct con-
and a part of our state
system to the extent possible with
funds available under existing law.
without jeopardizing carrying on Of
the state highway program"
Il wish to Undue the people of
California with my own faith in
California. 1 wish to begin my ad-
on a note of hope and
Be prepared by hold
ing such hope and confidence to
follow my leadership into the bright
days which I see ahead

shelter in a ranger cabin. A day
later, food running low and in

abandon the food and push on.
When Palmer got near enough to
the cabin, he left Eaton by the side
of the trail and went on alone after
his friends, who accompanied him
back and Eaton was carried in.
Meanwhile, however, snow was

agreed six would go for help while
three remained with the cars.
Rescue efforts were hampered by
the crippled communication. Tele-
phone lines were weighed down with
snow, and today's expedition with
the tractor will be slowed by the
necessity of restringing the wires on
the way up, anticipating the need OF
telephoning for quick supplies.
One worry is that the boys are
hungry and in the midst of plenty.

REPRESENTATIVE
OF CONTRACTORS
VISITS VALLEY

j. F. Carroll of the state depart
ment of professional and vocational
standards is in the valley this week
representing the registered contrac-
tors.
1t is his job to find all unlicensed
contractors, as under the law OF
1929, every contractor must be reg
istered. Violators of the law are
subject to fine and imprisonment,
or both. and those employing un-
licensed contractors are also liable
for aiding and abetting an evasion
of the law.
Carroll will be at the California
hotel each evening this week be-
tween the hours of and Z, and will
meet all unregistered contractors
there. The definition of a contrac-
tor is given in the act, and Carroll
pointed out that a number of con-
tractors have misinterpreted the
1920" clause and have consequently
made themselves liable.
In addition, Carroll wished to
warn the public on two points
that whenever a man is employed, |,
either day laborer or contractor, the
employer should make sure that the
man is either covered by compen-
sation insurance. or else carry 1t
himself. Otherwise, he will have nc
recourse at law if an accident oc-
ours.
Secondly, he should make sure
that the contractor has license, OF
otherwise, in case of fraud or inef.
ficiency, the employer will have nc
recourse at law, and furthermore
] has made himself liable.
1t is the purpose of CAROLS de-
partment to carry on an education
al program at present, showing con-
tractors the value of registering
rather than of being brought intt
court. He says that in the l6 month.
the law has been in operation, the
benefits obtained are remarkable
and claims having been greatly re-
! dllced
