BUDGET |
Huge Total To Be Spent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


SACRAMENTO, Jan. IL. U.D -
Every man, woman and child In
California must pay $43.48 during
the next two years for operation OF
the state government.
Governor James Rolph today dis-
closed this fact when he transmit
ted to the state legislature his
budget for the coming biennium.
accompanied by a message explain
ing proposed expenditures.
+ A grand total of $265 ,345, ,955 SO
will be spent by the state during the
next two years. the budget showed.
The new budget will increase ex-
penses by only 80 per cent, whereas
the last budget showed an increase
of 21.1 per cent when it was adopt
ed in 1929.
Even more encouraging was the
executives statement that the per
capita cost of government is de-
creased by sl.47 under the old
budget.
Highways, Calnornia's greatest
expense, will cost $l10. 1888 .0l0 or 41.6
per cent of the total budget.
Education will cost $88, ,429 ,322 or
32.5 per cent.
Expenditures totaling $68, ,523, ga
for the general activities of tho
state, known as the general
budget" comprise the remainder, or
25.8. per cent.
A warning that state revenues
have fallen off and the legislature
must hold won appropriations to Q
minimum, was sounded by Gov
ernor Rolph.
Public In Error
The Governor declared differ
ence of $8,440.081 between revenues
and expenses would exist during the
next two years, which must be
taken from the surplus fund Of $780,
165 $40.
An erroneous impression is inev-
ltably created in the public mind
concerning cost of state govern
ment, Governor Rolph noted.
This is due to the fact that q
large part of funds are apportioned
to counties from the gasoline tax
and other sources of highway rev.
enue; apportionment to schools; tu-
berculosis subsidies; flood control;
orphan. blind and aged aid, and
other minor items"
The executive stressed the fact
that despite a material increase in
state taxes, through this obligation
to apoortion money to local govern
ment, material tax reductions has
not been shown by counties.
Unemployment, decrease in COM
modify prices which farmers and
merchants receive for their goods
at present, and the general econom-
ic condition of the state were care
fully considered in compiling the
budget, Governor Rolph asserted.
IAN endeavor has been made to
provide for capital outlay expendi-
lures for necessary and desirable
public improvements such as high
ways, buildings at our institutions,
state university. teachers colleges,
and in other departments of the
state, as means of helping to re-
lieve unemployment, increase mar
kets for our goods and promote gen.
eral prosperity" he said.

HERO OF TUNNEL
CAVEIN ANXIOUS
TO RESUME JOB
Fellow Workers Give
Credit To Saritz For
Saving Their Lives.
BY GEORGE E. POWERS
United Press Staff Correspondent


CAMP MITCHELL. CALI, Jan. II.
WP-Tired of playing checkers
Phil Saritz, one of 20 men rescued
from Mitchell tunnel early Sunday
begged today to be allowed to return
to work.
Saritz, according to 10 other sur
vivors, was the real hero of the tun-
mel cave-in that trapped them for
33 hours, 1900 feet from the shaft
which comes to the surface at this
little construction camp of the Hetch
Hetchy water project.
He carelessly and somewhat gruf-
fly brushed aside the compliments
being paid him.
Its all in the days work." he
tried to make the reporter believe.
There was the time was trapped
for IL days and IL nights up at
Juneau, Alaska, he continued. "That
was, in 1920. A year later 1 was
caught in lead mine in Bingham
Canyon, Utah, and could not get
out for five days.
Maybe those experiences did help
us in this predicanent, but that
shouldn't make me hero"
Except for the calmness of Saritz
in the emergency, other survivors
insisted, all of them might still be
in the tunnel, their chances OF
escaping alive growing simmer.
In the first hour after 80 feet OF
the tunnels roof had caved in most
of the men showed signs of panic.
Saritz, nearing middle age, tall
and heavy and almost bald, took
command and quieted them with
words of reinsurance, telling them
This is nothing compared with
what have come out Of"
When the slide started, Welby
Morgan had grabbed a long iron
pipe, four inches in diameter, and
ran down through the bore to the
place he knew the tunnel was weak
est. Saritz revealed they had beer
anxious about the tunnels strength
| for 10 or IL days. Fortunately, the
pipe carried by Morgan extended
completely through the pile of dir
that trapped the 20 men. Morgan
was knocked down twice but escaped
and ran 1900 feet to the shaft t,
cali help.
Gives instructions
Saritz determined that the four.
inch pipe could be utilized to shou
! messages through and convey food
He supervised the cutting OF a wa.
! ter pipe and ordered that fresh all
be bumped through it from the out
side.
Then he learned the rescue crews
were planning to dig out all the dirt
in the tunnel.
THAT will never do" Sarit7
shouted to them. "As fast as you
dig, more dirt will fall down. aDart
work on a dog tunnel along the
tracks and we'll do the same from
this end. Make it just big enough
for us to get through on our hands
and knees and board it up."
The idea was. followed and ii
saved many hours of work. Twen-
ty-four hours later the dog tunnel
was ready and Oscar Nelson slipped
through into the outside. His body
started another slide and the crude
supports gave way. At midnight
repairs had been made and the other
19 men slid out. just as the last one
came through the small opening
closed up again.
Some of the survivors went to
town to celebrate, Others went to
bed.
Saritz sat down to play game OF
checkers.

MOST FOODS TASTE
 BETTER IF COOKED
 IN SMALL AMOUNTS
Same is True of Hills Bros. ; Coffee, Which is Never
 Roasted in Bulk


 When food is cooked in small quantities, the mixing, the appli- cation of heat, can be controlled with much more exactness. An omelet, for example, made of three eggs will turn out more tender and fluffy than one made of many eggs.
 A similar situation occurs in roasting coffee. When roasted in bulk it is impossible to control the heat exactly. Some of the batch, therefore, is overdone and some underdone. As a result there is a variation in flavor.
 In the invention of Controlled Roasting, Hills Bros. found the way to insure an even roast in their fine blend of coffee. Only few pounds at a time are roasted by this pat ented, continuous process. When the roasting is finished uniformly delicious flavor has been developed such as no other coffee has.
 When you buy Hills Bros. Coffee it is always fresh because it is packed in vacuum. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can and kept out. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros: Coffee. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab on the can.

IRENE BORDONI WINS TRIUMPH
 AT COLISEUM
Paris Affords Opportunity for Excellent Singing
 and Dancing

T am one actress and zat ees my beesness."
 That is a line spoken by Irene Bordoni in Paris"
 It describes with simple accuracy ones reaction to this piquant little star, who burst forth in great brilliance at the Coliseum Theatre last night.
 Bordoni is refreshingly different From her intriguing French accent to her twinkling toes she spells a novel screen personality. She has brought Paris" her New York stage success, with all its original charm to the First National-Vita- phone screen.
 The star sings and dances in some very spectacular theatre se- quences, although the picture is mostly a comedy drama.
 The supporting cast, including several prominent stage players, .s outstanding. Jack Buchanan, fa- nous in London and New York ,enacts the chief supporting role
 Paris was directed by Clarence Badger. The original play was by Martin Brown, and the screen yer sion is by Hope Loring.
 Added attractions at the Coli scum are The Evolution of the Dance" and a news review.

CARED STARS AT CAPITOL
 IN CHRISTIE
Brilliant P e If o rmance ol O'Neill Play Is Given
 by Fine Cast

Greta Garbo's all-talking picture, Anna Christie" adapted from the celebrated play by Eugene ONeill, opened at the Capitol Theatre last night and fulfilled all expectations. Miss Garbo's voice is suited admir- ably to the role of the Swedish farm girl. The Garbo accent is so slight as to only make her speech the more interesting.
 In Anna Christie" Miss Garbo gives brilliant performance as the simple and tragic heroine of O. Neill's moving drama, who has erred and seeks a new life on a fishing barge with her father.
 Warmth and Naturalness Miss Garbo seems to have gar nered the innermost thoughts and feelings of the character she por- trays and endows her with a warmth and naturalness which does little short of bringing the screen shadow to actual life. Every ges- ture and every spoken line is i fraught with a deep emotional un- derstanding. The role is undoubt- edly the finest Miss Garbo has ever enacted.
 The work of the supporting cast is equally proficient. George Mar ion plays the father role with the same fervor and intensity with which he created the original stage role and later played the part in the silent picture made several years ago; Marie Dressler, as the tippler Marthy, gives a superb char acterization far removed from her previous. comedy roles; Charles Bickford, as Matt, Anna's lover, i gives sterling performance.
 Direction Is Excellent Clarence Brown, who directed the talking screen version of the play from Frances Marion's adap- tation, may well Ee proud of his efforts. It has been screened ar tistically and with a minimum of mechanical limitations on the ex- cellent camera work of William ] Daniels. The recording is splendid and the atmospheric settings are executed with fine strokes of real ism.
 The added attraction is All Feed Up," a Hal Roach comedy, featuring Charles Chase.
 Learn about golf from Charley Although he doesn't know a thing about golf he makes hole in one; impeded by stymie he goes around the other fellows ball and into the hole with single putt; gets out of sand trap with but one stroke, and makes other brilliant plays that are worthy of professional.
 The dazzling blonde beauty Of Ihelma Todd may again be seen in this comedy. She plays the daugh- ter of a president of a very elite golf club. Quite smitten by Char ley's charms, she induces him to play golf at her club. If he makes | a favorable impression with the members of the club, his applies tion may be accepted for member ship. Don't fail to see the im- pression he leaves with the old log ies. 4s ..t

 Native Schools Remembered
 'Nor are the native schools for gotten. The Bureau of Education will erect this year six new school buildings in the Northern part of the Territory at a cost of S36,000; three new hospitals to cost $29,- 5CO; extensions to IA other school buildings to cost $110,000; an h. dian boys training school at Shoe maker Bay, Wrangell, to cost $100,- 900, and other items totaling S1,- 125 ,000. Public funds to the amount of about $5,000,000 will thus be expended in Alaska in 1881, very largely for public highways.
 And why not? Five million dollars per annum is a goodly sum of money, but @ mere pittance in comparison with what the United States expends annually in the States for similar work-in States where there is local power and wealth to construct roads and other improvements by taxation upon privately owned property belonging to those who own both the prop erty and the roads, and where the United States owns but little.
 Owns 98 Per Cent
 Tn Alaska, the United States owns 98 per cent of all the lands and all the railroads, buildings and other property constructed by it. and reserves to it's own use for future sale all the coal, oil and other wealth from the public lands from which it will derive great profit. The small sum it expends in Alaska, improving it's own prop critics, is much less than one-hal1 of the annual gold output Alaska mines send to the Government hints for the support of the na- l tion'S gold standard. From January l l. 138O to December 31, 1930, g { period of 50 years, Alaskans mined and shipped to the United States the sum of $629,806,856 in gold copper and other minerals. There are 600 months in 50 years,-Alasks miners produced more than $1,- 0OO,0o0 of gold and copper pel month during that 50-year period The mineral industry in Alasks is yet in it's infancy and is con- stantly growing.
 Exceeded by Fish
 "As great a sum as that half. century output of Alaska mineral! amounts to, the value of Alasks fish shipped to the United State in half that period exceeds it From 1906 to 1930, both included a period of 25 years, Alaska fisher men caught, prepared and shipped to the United States markets fisf to the amount of S743,975, ,738,-al annual production of $30000,00O From the reports of the Governo

and Collector of Customs, we are informed that the total production of Alaska fish, furs and minerals exported to the United States since 1867, amounts to the sum of $1,- 762, ,968, ,496.
 Not only has Alaska produced and exported that great wealth to the United States, and enriched it's Pacific Coast cities thereby, but her people have purchased from the United States, principally from Seattle, Portland and San Fran cisco, and imported into Alaska, from 1867 to date, more than 900 million dollars worth of mer- chandise.
 Fabulous Total Trade
 Add Alaska's total production of wealth to her total purchase of merchandise-ou total exports to, and our total imports from, the United States and we have S1, ,762 ,96S, ,496, total exports; $907.- 873,941, total imports; or $2,67o,- 842,437 in total trade. Thus AL aska's trade value with United States merchants and manufactur- CTS since 1867 is more than two and a half billion dollars! A huge sum to have been won by a few thousand pioneers from an inhos- pitable wilderness in the first half century of trade with the mother ! country. It is, however, but a mere trickle to the great stream of wealth which flow into the markets of the United States from { Alaska when our natural resources shall be more fully located and 1 developed by an increasing number of our people who follow us into the Northern Territory, armed with better trade facilities and aided by wiser and more generous govern Tlent.
 Resources Are Unlimited
 "Our seas are filled with fish, our mountains with minerals, our ! coastal islands with forests await 1 ing the coming pulp makers, our 1 interior valleys with unsettled agri- cultural lands equal in area and l productivity to those of Scandl- navia. Our people are brave and hardy, filled with loyalty to Am erican ideals and love for con- stitutional government, and in good time will adopt a State Constitu- tion and secure the admission oi the State of Alaska into the Unicr of the United States.
