ROLPH PRAISED
FOR TAX VETO

SACRAMENTO, Aug. IL Q.N.SO
Governor Rolph today was gen.
orally commended for his veto
message on the State income tax
bill, although political farm and
labor leaders who have been ad-
vocating the Measure expressed
dissatisfaction.
The governors message was &C
companied by a statement that
he would pocket veto" the bill
by refusing to act upon it before
August 30. last day allowed him
to sign bills before they auto
matically "die." He declared he
would not overburden the people
of California with the income tax
on top of a sales and gasoline
tax.
Assemblyman Frank G.. Martin,
of Altadena, was one of the first
to praise the chief executives
stand. Martin was consistent
opponent of the income tax dur
ing the legislative session, hold
ing that it was a fallacy to be-
lieve it would hit the rich. Mar
tin insisted it would fall hardest
upon the salaried and wage class.
Assemblyman Percy West, Sac
ramento, a supporter of the in,
come tax, declared there would
be another income tax bill at the
next session of the legislature.
J. L. R. Marsh, secretary of
organized labor groups here, said
in view of the governors signing
of the sales tax bill, vetoing the
income tax was "the last straw"
so far as labor was concerned.

Five Big Industries Fail to Fall
In Line With Program
as Rows Continue
(By international News service)

(By International News Service)
A spirited dispute between rival
mine labor organizations flared up
again today at hearings before the
NRA on code for the strife-rid-
den bituminous coal industry.
Willi.m j. Smeed, president Of
District IL, United Mine Workers
of America, made a caustic reply
to bitter attacks against his or
ganization by C. E. Pearcy and
William Keck, officials of the Pro-
gressive Miners of America. He
said:
"It has been characteristic of
this progressive group that they
devised nothing and initiated
nothing for their membership,
but have trailed along after the
United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, Snarling at their heels"
Financing Questioned
Smeed charged that the pro-
gressive group was financed from
some mysterious source" and that
cit has carried on aggressive cam
paigns to disturb the contract re-
lation between the United Mine
Workers of America and the 1lli-
nois Coal Operators Association" !"
Miss Josephine Roche, president
Of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Co.,
of Colorado, declared her six
mines cut operating cost II per
cent in the last five years and
substantially increased wages un-
der a United Mine Workers con-
tract.
Freight Rates Criticized
DR.. Alexander Sacks, chief
economist of NRA, blamed high
railroad freight rates as one Of
several major causes leading to
"disharmonies and maladjust-
ments that have grown up noun
tain high in the coal industry" ."
He referred to the high rate
structure as parasite choking
the life blood out of the indus
try" Among other major causes
of decentralization, Sacks listed:
Overproduction; wage differen-
tials between the North and
South: chronological changes;
increased efficiency of coal, re-
Sulting in a consumption decrease
of 210,00O,000 tons in 1929 below
1918; the huge increase in the
use of hydro-electric power, crude
oil and other competitive fuels.
Sacks advised against steps to
eliminate machinery at the
mines.
Demands for a more vigorous
policy in handling five great basic
industries that have been slow to
agree on codes of fair competition
today were before Johnson.
The demands we're made by in
dustrialists in oil, coal, steel, lum
ber and automotive manufactur
ing.
Representing billions in in
vested capital and employing mil
lions of men, these five industries
have been unable to agree or
basic rules of self-government.
Oil Men Badly Split
The oil industry was badly split
over the related issues of price-fix
ing and production control. The
bituminous coal industry was
deadlocked over unionization anc
price differentials. Within the
steel industry, spirited fight
ragged over price-fixing. An open
shop controversy lurked in the
background.
Differences within the automo,
tive and lumber industries, which
delayed for weeks the presenta'
ton of codes, will be aired pub.
licly at hearings within the next
few days.

SILVER BUYING HELPS MEXICO

Washington. Dec. 28-Mexico
the worlds leading producer of
silver. is expected to be one OF
the major benefciaries of Presi
dent Roosevelts program for
Uoited States purchase of the
white metal at 64.5 cents an
ounce, 19 cents above recent pre-
vaiiog price levels.
10 recent years Mexico's out.
put has averaged Total Of some
los, 900, 900 ounces annually com
pared With United States pro
duction Of around $4,000, GOO
ounces. Canada has been third
and Peru fourth in output.
Although the heavy decline in
the price of silver, which started
late in 1928. tended to diminish
production in Mexico. the metal
formed Is 9 per cent of the total
value of that country's exports
in 1929 and IL per cent Of the
export value ia 1880.
Practically all of Mexico's pro,
duction of silver Is exported, the
United. States and the United
Kingdom being big importers.
Moreover, q large proportion OF
Mexlco's mines are owned or con
trolled By American capital
which to a minor degree has sill
YER holdings in Peru, Canada,
Honduras and Chile.
Trade observers say the new
silver setup may give some i'm
petus to United States commerce
with Mexico which now is Uncle
Sans best Latin American Gus
toner, taking some 1923. $50. 900
worth of goods in the frat eight
months Of 1888.
United States exports to Mex
leo which from 1929 to 1882 de-
clined rs per cent in value, have
been picking up 10 recent months
A considerable part of the de
cline resulted from reductions in
shipments of iron and steel mill
products, machinery equipment
and automobiles.
The effect Of the new silver
policy on the exchange. value Of
Mexican currency In terms OF
purchase Of American goods is
problematical since the Mexican
government has been following
program of keeping the peso
devaiued with relation to the
dollar for the purpose OF s,inu
lating exports.
Currency experts here say the
exchange value of Mexican cur
reucy does not huxuate with the
price OF silver but ia determined
solely by the supply and demand
for exchange.

Thus thera will be 8 stimula.

cannot conceive that this can
happen without an increase also
ia the price levels which. also.
must react on the wage levels.
The Times does not believe
the country has yet begun to
realive the full possibilities Of
ths governments new silver
policy. The increase in trade
With silver using countries is
one.
Again. this new silver policy
will take the edge of the demand
for currency Imitation. It will
thus disarm one of the govern.
ment's most dangerous elements
Ia congress-.
It will pave the way for an iQ.
ternational agreement on gold,
and on a currency backed by
gold. thus stabilizing foreign ex.
change.

moves the Roosevelt administra-
tion has made.
