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.
