OPPOSE THREE
ROLPH ISSUES

SACRAMENTO, June %. GU.P|--
CALIFORNIA; voters, in effect, de-
clined to follow the Rolph admin
istration on three issues at the
special election yesterday
Pari-mutuel horse race betting
which was vetoed in bill form by
the governor in May was apparent
ly safely passed and by large ma
jority.
Gasoline tax diversion was de-
cisively defeated, despite the gov
ernor's staunch support of drawing
on the munificent gas tax fund for
general state support. This means
of raising money has been a key
stone in all of Rolph'S budget bal
ancing schemes from the outset.
The governor declined to commit
himself publicly on tax revision,
but his foremost cabinet member,
ROLAND Vandegrift, finance direc-
tor, vigorously opposed it, thus plac-
ing the administration on the OPP
posite side. The plan apparently
has passed.
Rolph took some consolation in
the outcome of two issues he Wig
orously supported. One was prohi-
bition repeal; the other the 20,000,-
900 unemployment relief bond is
sue.

Sponsors Of the project have esti-
mated the channel. 160 miles long, 200
feet wide and 38 feet deep, would cut
500 to 800 miles from the water dis
tance between the seaboard and the

It has been estimated approximately
$4,000 men would be employed six

ders to the roof, cut a hole and poured
a fire hose stream into Lent's small
living room. When there was no sign
of resistance after half an hours bonn
bardment, the door of the room was
broken open. Lent was found on the
floor dead. He had shot himself il

The automobile that caused the

some time because of non-payment OF
a small bill for repairs. He had boasted
that the machine would be taken out
of the garage only over his dead body.

Largest Wheat Farmer Sees
World Looking Its Brightest
Campbell, Friend of Hoo.
Ger, Bolts With Both
Feet Into Ne,v Deal.
Adds Mighty Push to
Impetus Of Recovery
Scheme by Optimism.

'The world never looked brighter to
me than it does today"
Thus spoke today the worlds great
est individual wheat farmer, Thomas
D. Campbell of Montana, personal
friend of former President Hoover, who
has bolted with both feet into the new
deal" and who thinks out of the new
era will come things that will make
1926 look like depression times"
Campbell Is here adding his mighty
push to the impetus of the recovery
scheme, and his enthusiasm for it
fairly bubbles over.
He eXudes optimism for the new deal
though he has been a Republican for
years and was prominently mentioned
for the post Of Secretary of Agricul-
ture in the Hoover cabinet-that far
outdistances that of any of the higher
ups Of the present administration.
7 I'm the next 10 years." he says,
you'll see things that will astound
you-a boom of prosperity in this
country that will surpass anything that
has gone before"
Expects to Recover Losses.
He has had all this optimism despite
the fact that in the past six years his
wheat-farming ventures have cost him
close to million dollars. He has done
hetter with his wheat crop in the past
year and he expects to recover a great
" Was Campbell who went to Russia
and told Russians how to raise wheat
and who. when he got back to this
country, had heaped upon him the eX-
coriations of practically all the wheat
farmers in this country. He still thinks
he was right and that he will be vim
dicated. He expects this country to
recognize Russia.
But his first interest is in this coun-
try and he foresees with the boundless
faith of his forefathers, who pioneered
into the West and laid the founda-
tionS of his broad domain of 10000
acres of farm land, that it will pull
itself out of the mire of depression.
He is thoroughly convinced, he said
today, that the workers and farmers
will take over this country very shortly
and that the capitalists will be made
to toe the mark as they've never been
forced before And he is all for it. In
this economic revolution he is as active
as any miner or factory worker fight
ing for little better standard of liv-
ing.
TIC the young man he advises farm
ing as the career to take up-a sub
sistence from the land and a job, too,
to help out things He is particularly
interested in subsistence farming. part
Of the scheme of the new deal" which
is being handled by his fellow Mon
tanan, M. L. Wilson. During his stay
in Washington he intends to hold some
very important conferences with ad-
ministration leaders on this phase OF

the program. There are vast opportu-
mites for this sort of thing, he believes
It is when the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration is mentioned that
Campbell's enthusiasm gets almost out
of bounds. This, too, despite the fact
that his public spirit on the question
of acreage reduction, voluntary before
the present wheat acreage reduction
scheme went into effect, has cost him
thousands of dollars this year.
Several years ago Campbell took up
the gospel of acreage reduction as the
cure for the wheat farmers ills. and
went preaching it all over the wheat
belt. To be better able to preach, and
with the advice of former President
Hoover and Farm Board head Alex
ander Legge. he cut his wheat acreage
as $4,000 acres OF wheat.
His allotment of wheat acreage this
year was approximately 22,50O. This
was because the acreage allotment was
based on acreage for the three years
preceding the introduction Of the
processing tax-years in which he pub
lic-spiritedly and voluntarily cut his
own acreage so he could be practicing
what he preached.
he declares. I'm doing better on that
basis than 7 was under the old scheme
Of things"
He has just added placer mining to
his varied interests He has announced
to his Montana menage that when he
gets back to the West he and the rest
of the group on his place will 60 to
his placer diggings.
Tired Of Being Santa.
"I told them" he declared "I was
tired of being Santa Claus. We're all
going to take our packs and our bed
ding and mine gold for 80 days If
it works, we'll stay there and make
some money. If it doesn't, we'll have
had an outing"
Campbell is a tall. spare, broad
shouldered man, with graying hair. His
eye is keen and clear, and though his
dress is more after fashion of an East
ern banking house. he admits he can
ride along the roads in his home coun-
try and pop a rattler or a gopher with
a pistol most every time.

lCkes Tells Western Critic
That Record Speaks for

The record speaks for ITSELF" was
Secretary Ickes' answer yesterday to the
charges made by Representative Martin,
Democrat, of Colorado, that the Public
Works Administration has opposed use
Of Federal funds for Western irrigation
projects.
Ickes produced figures showing allot-
ments aggregating upward of S145, ,000,-

work, including Boulder Dam and the
Grand Coulee and Columbia Basin
Works.
In his statement. Martin said the In

on any expenditures for Federal projects
primarily benefiting irrigation and this
attitude has been reflected down
through the public works set-up."
Says West Is Left Out.
"Dont mention irrigation, is the
word" Martin added. This is no secret
among Western members and If the
we'll be told. The only show the West
has to break into this game is to gang
up with a united front"
Martin also telegraphed Ickes that
development of irrigation projects in
the West was vital to the economic fu-
ture of the Rocky Mountain area.

"These States. originally chiefly min

ent upon an artificially managed water
supply. What natural rainfall is to the
East irrigation is to the West and with
out it the West will atrophy.
Failure to develop western water re-
sources will be permanent and dis
criminatory injury to that great region.
The Public Works Board, over which
1ckeS preSideS as chairman, has main
tanned that new lands should not be
brought into cultivation with public
works funds while the Government is
spending millions through the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration to dis
