Roosevelt Urged
Against Slashing
Reclamation Fund

WASHINGTON. Jan. l. up
Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney, D.. Wyo.,
today urged President Roosevelt to
permit no reduction in expenditures
for reclamation services. now az
gregating s50000,000 annually.
He said he asked the president TO
make sure that the Budget Bureau
does not reduce reclamation funds.
Reclamation projects are support
ed. he said. by revenues from oil
and gas leases on the public domain,
and expenditures have always been
below the revenues. He pointed out
that in Atrona county. Wyo., site
of the Salt Greek oil field, approx
mately S25,0O00O0 has been paid
the government, a sum which he
said was far more than the recla-
metion expenditures in that area.
OMahoney said he also asked the
president to expedite a report OF
the Federal Real Estate board. and
was assured that this would be done.
He seeks the report. he said, in
connection with a plan to bolster
western states local revenues.
In Nevada over 80 per cent of real
property is owned by the federal
government, and more than 40 per
cent in Wyoming. OMahoney said.
Bills have been introduced in Con-
gress to divide income from federal
Iy-owned land between federal and
state governments. OMahoney said
he wanted to see some action TINS
session to solve the problem being
made acute" by the submarglnal
land program.

aided the pocket battleship Graf
Spec before the latter was scuttled
two weeks ago.
Forty minutes after the time
limit expired the Uruguayan gun
boat La Valleja took on Is armed
men and prepared to leave for the
Tacoma. 1t was believed that the
armed party would enforce the in
ternment order.
At the time, seven members of
the crew of the Tacoma we're ashore
and could not be found. They had
been missing from the vessel last
night when it moved from the inner
harbor to the outer port, where ii
anchored pending further clarifica-
ton of its status.
Capt. Hans KanoW made new pro-
tests against the Uruguayan gov
ernment's departure order, issued
yesterday morning, while British
WarShips waited outside Uruguayan
territorial waters for the Tacoma in
case it should attempt to put To
sea.
The protest of the Tacomas cap
tain, made to the prefect of the port
was in hopes of postponing an ex-
tension of the governments depar-
ture order despite statement by
the foreign office that there could
be 30 extension Of permission TO,

Capt. Kanow, some quarters re-

rather than attempt to run the
British blockade or scuttle his shir

Railroad Gave
Best Service in :
1899 SaysLeade

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. l. (UPD-
Railroad enterprise and ingenuity
produced for the American public
in 1889 the best rail service in his
tory at the lowest rates anywhere
except in Japan, where costs are
not comparable to ours" A. d. Nc
Donald, president of the Southern
Pacific company, said today IN a
year-end review.
Railroad employees received wages
at an all-time high level National
and local government received in
taxes an all-time high proportion
Of railroad revenues.
But the railroads failed to achieve
hardly more for themselves as bus
mess enterprises than just to keep
their heads above water.
"The increase in general business
and in volume of railroad trafflc
during recent months has beeX
most helpful. AS a result of bettd
operating methods and equipments
and of shippers cooperation, a.
greater percentage of the increase
went into net than in former years
But in spite of this it seems un-
likely that either increase in vol
lme of traffic or increased efficien-
cy achieved within the railroad in
7ustry will serve basically to solve
the problem.
what the railroads need is public
action to release the full driving
power of the new era in railroading
they have started under great diff
ficulties during the last 10 years.
They do not need and do not ask
any special favors; but they are en-
titled to and must have public re-
cognition of the fact that they now
face great and growing competition
in nearly every phase of their bus
mess. Basic need is for a national
policy under which regulation will
be evenly applied to all forms of
transport, so that each will be able
to serve where it can provide the
best and cheapest transportation,
considering all true COSTS"

Valley Ends Year
Sans Auto Deaths

Imperial Valley went through the
last days of 1889 and well into the
first day of the New Year without
a traffic death or bad accident to
mar the celebration.
The traffic death total for 1899
was as, almost double the total for
the year before.
The all time high for traffic
deaths in the Valley still stood with
the so deaths of 1887 topping II
1899 total by 5.

along MY guess is that activity will
be lower early next summer than
it is now.
l use the word guess" literally,
too Any forecast beyond June 30,
l94o at this time, is mere guess.
No man-not even Hitler or Stain
knows what will happen abroad in
the second half of next year. Add
to this world confusion our domeS-
tic uncertainties. particularly the
presidential election. Only crys-
tal-gazer or fortune-teller could
aspire to give you an answer now
to either the war or the election.
Hence, for the first time in two de-
cadeS I dare not make, at the New
Year period, a specific forecast for
more than the first half of the
coming year.
TWO POSSIBILITIES SECOND
HALF
Strange as it sounds, right now
I think there are only two possibili-
ties for the second half: Cd A rip
roaring boom or (2) a sickening
crash. After the nominations are
in, we should be able to tell which
of these two developments will take
place. Hence, I shall not give read
ers my definite forecasts for jobs,
wages, and business in the second
half of 1910 until June.
In the meanwhile, no one will
make any money by worrying about
late 1910. The successful people
next year will be those who take
advantage of the great opportuni-
ties of the early months. For ten
years we have waited for good
times" to come back. They are here
now but nobody seems to want to
do anything about them. Fears and
uncertainties should be forgotten
for a few months. Certainly, any

which it cannot escape comparison,
the Fleischer picture nevertheless
has its elements of humorous and
melodic appeal. Obviously, it is
comedy for which Mr.. Fleischer and
his animators were most concerned
and they found rich resources of it
in the story. There is even some
OF Swift's satire in this technicolor
"Gulllver." although it is derived
through indirection. That is as it
should be for the picture makes no
pretense to adult appeal save as
the adult happens to be an indivi-
dual who can appreciate whimsy
In unsubtle form.
Melodically, "Gulliver's Travels"
already has made the hit parade
with Faithful Forever" Its score
is studded with a number of other
excellent tunes, the romantic ones
sung happily by Jessica Dragonette

Judge Hardy and Son." measur-
ing the hum of its assets and liabili-
ties (both of which 1t definitely
has), adds well up to the standard
of previous pictures In the series.
1t surpasses some of the more recent
Hardy films, as matter Of fact,
in the brightness and freshness
of some Of its humor. And along
midway Mrs. Hardy comes down
with pneumonia and this then
leans more toward the heavily dra-
matte than its predecessors.
1t is not so dramatic as it might
have been, however, for, too long
drawn out, what should have been
drama becomes downright maud
lin. Instead Of the sympathetic
lump in your throat you want to
have. you feel a torturing lump of
indigestibility amidships. Ut is the
telling of 1t and not the situation
itself toward which this complaint
is directed, in case any one is in
ferring cold-blooded attitude
toward the brink of death)
The humor involved in Andy
Hardy's various travails is enough,
however. to provide recompense for
any suffering undergone at the
hands of Director George B. Seitz
and Script Writer Carey Wilson as
they have borne down on the tear
ducts. They also have born down
on the comedy on a number of oc-
casions.
Mr.. Wilson has allotted, as is
usual in the Hardy films some
80 44/l00 per cent of the comedy
to the not exactly restrained young
Master Rooney. Young Master
Rooney returns the compliment,
allotting some 80 44/10o per cent
OF his enthusiasm, which is as
boundless as Shirley Temples fans
are legion, to the projection of the
comedy. Those with constitutions
