Reports that Augustine Island

MAY OVERRIDE
ROLPH'S VETO

SACRAMENTO, April 90. UP
An historic fight between Governor
Rolph and the legislature was in
the making today as supporters OF
the pari-mutuel horse race betting
bill prepared to launch a campaign
to override the governor IS veto of
the measure.
The first test will come when the
bill comes up for reconsideration
on Wednesday. Meantime propon-
ents of the measure were resorting
to every possible expedient to line
up the necessary votes to override
the governor T--'ss- s-t --'- - r
The governor vetoed the bill on
two grounds:
1. That racetrack betting is NOR
ally and socially wrong, and that
the state has no right to place its
stamp of approval on such prac-
tice.
2. That the people have twice
voted down proposals to restore par
i-mutuel betting-once in 1926 by
a 100000 majority and again in
1OO6 NY d O1,OCO AlilJOi Ivy.
The governor said in his veto
message he was aware illegal race
track gambling was flourishing in
California today. He admitted
there was some logic in the argu-
ment that the gambling should be
controlled by the state, and stimuli
taneously, bring revenue to Cali
fornia.
"If the question were purely po-
litical or economic, that argument
might prevail with me-" he said.
"But I do not believe that tolera-
ton or support of illicit racetrack
gambling will continue indefinitely;
and, in any event, racetrack gamb-
ling presents a moral issue out
weighing practical considerations,
and for that reason it must remain
an outlaw
Referring to previous defeats of
pari-mutuel gambling proposals, the
governor stated:
"The decision of the people
should stand until they themselves
recall it at the ballot box. 1t is
not for the governor or for the leg
islature to override the people.
GAS much as love horses, If it
be true that the race horse is only
an implement of gambling like a
roulette wheel or a dice box, and
i'll must choose between the well
fare of the horse on one side and
the welfare of human beings, on
the other, / stand with the home
against the stable.'

EXPECT EARLY ENACTMENT Of
NFLAT|ON-FARM RELIEF BILL
Measure Passed By Three To One Vote In
Senate Expected To Have Approval Of
House Within Short Time

limited in its potential effects upon
their fellow citizens.
Wallace is empowered to give
farmers pre-war return on the
crops through a system of bounties
and rents. These would be paid in
exchange for acreage reduction to
eliminate surplus production and
drive prices upward. Money for the
bounties would be raised through
taxes levied on professors of foods
taxes to be paid in the end by
housewives buying groceries aC-'the
corner store.
A 100000, 1000 federal land bank
bond issue is authorized for refin-
ancing of farm mortgages at re-
duced scale on a long term basis.
Shocks Senate SO
Senator Thomas, Dem, Okla,
sponsor of the initiation section, be-
lieves it will transfer 100000, 0OO, 900
of purchasing power from those
who have to those who have not.
That statement on the senate floor
shocked conservative opponents of
initiation.
The initiation section also has
tremendous international signifi-
canoe. 1t offers a potential 80 per
cent debt reduction on current and
defaulted installments. Another
section authorizes the President to
revalue the gold dollar within a SO
per cent range.
Remnants of the Republican old
guard bugled themselves into bat
tie against initiation. Their oppo-
sition proved feeble.
A series OF tests produced as
many smashing administration vic
tories. A senate overwhelmingly in
flationist for months had found an
opportunity to follow a leader who
would take responsibility for cur
rency expansion.
Warning that President Roose-
welt would not pay veterans adj
justed compensation even if auth
ority were written into the bill,
punctured a bonus boom which
threatened for time to succeed.
Amendments showered on the
bill as the voting hour approached
but Vice President Garner put them
to a vote and the senate sent them
to the waste basket as rapidly as
they could be offered.
A few minutes after p. M, the
senate voted "a to 81 to empower
the President to initiate. Within an
hour the omnibus bill-farm relief,
currency initiation, mortgage reduc-
tion-was finally approved by a
vote of 81 to 20 and the senate
called it a week to meet again Mon
day for consideration of the Roose-
welt program for government opera
ton of Muscle Shoals and develop
ment of the Tennessee valley.
Consideration of the initiation
bill was costly to the administra-
ton in one respect. Senators Glass,
Dem, Va, Mr.. Roosevelt's first
choice for secretary of the trea-
sury, broke openly, bitterly and
perhaps finally with the President.
Glass was opposed to the principal
of the farm relief bill itself. When
initiation was added to it, he hest
tated a day or so and then took
the floor in a crusade against de-
valuation of the gold dollar.

PARIS, April 49, - A new cor
ference among European powers
and the United States that would
have important repercussiOns on
the world disarmament conference
and the projected consulate tive pact
TO preserve peace, Is enviSaged as
a direct result of the conversations
OF President Roosevelt and former
Premier Edouard Herriot, the Unit
ed Press learned today from a
source close to the French govern
ment.
The preliminary conference would
be charged with the task of defin-
ing the word "aggressor' as ap-
pied to a power entering into a
declared or undeclared warfare.
Should definition conform with es-
Sential American principles, Presi-
dent Roosevelt would present it to
the American congress as the basis
for the "teeth' of an amendment
to the Kellogg peace pact designed
to enforce peace through "sanc-
tions' the United Press was told.
The sanctions, it was understood,
would include the limitation of
commercial intercourse with an ae-
gressor and possibly an embargo on
arms.
The first French reaction to the
plan 1t was understood, was most
favorable. France was prepared to
make far reaching concessions in
her disarmament policy, even to the
point of waving her time -honored
principle of 'security before dis
armament" if the envisaged plan
went through and there was an eff
fective control placed on German
ornaments for 10 years, it was said
unofficially. '.3ta
If the maneuver is successful, it
was foreseen that the disarmament
conference, now seemingly on the
road to failure, would be saved,
which would permit the unqualified
success of the world economic con-
ference. 1t has been generally &C
cepted that without effective dis
armament, success of the economic
conference is impossible.
