ROLPH TO VETO
SACRAMENTO, June 1—(UP)—
Groundwork for renewal of the battle between the executive andlegislative branches of state ogvernment
is being laid day by day as Governor
Rolph continues to exercise his veto
on bills dear to legislators hearts.
Unless the legislature reverses its
attitude, it will override some of the
Rolph vetoes at the mid-summer sgession. Three vetoes of Mendocino
county government bills were overriden before the May recess—the
first time such a thing-had occurred
in over 40 years.
Disregarding the fate of these
three measures, the governor vetoed
three more county government bills,
affecting Calaveras county, without
even consulting their author.
At this writing, Rolph is set to
veto the state employes’ Salary reduction bill which would save California $5,000,000 in the next biennium. There is ample evidence to indicate an atempt may be made to
pass this measure over the executive’s disapproval.
The oleo mararine bill will probably feel the axe, and, possibly, the
bill withdrawing from automobile
clubs the authority. of placing state
highway signs. These two and many
others may provide the spark to fan
the flames of dissension between the
governor and the legislature.
Director of Finance Rolland A.
Vandegrift’s opposition to the RileyStewart tax revision plan has intensified the antagonism against him of
the state controller’s and the board
of equalization’s offices. Vandegrift
contends passage of the revision pro_
gram would mean a 20 per cent ad
valorem tax and would incerase the
state’s deficit by $20,000,000.
The unusual Situation of a split
state cabinet on a major issue continues . . . Earl Lee Kelly, director
of public works opposes gas tax diversion . . . his chief, the governor,
and Vandegrift strongly favor it. .
the governor’s attitude toward granting clemency to doomed slayers is
changing .. the other day~-during
a commutation hearing he announced “T do not Propose to be recarded
as a Wishy Washy governor. . . Director of Institutions Dr. J .M. Toner
who must give up his job, learned

to assume charge of a state mental

Governor Rolph intends that the -arrival in Sacramento of governors attending the National Governors’ conference in California next July shall

First there will be a 19 gun salute for each of the visiting governors. Then, ag the visiting executives walk into the capitol grounds,
they will see a bed or red, white and

Good Old U. S. A.”
The governor instructed the capitol gardener, William Vortriede, ‘té
