THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE 2 POLITICAL OLYMPIAD STIRS CALIFORNIANS AS ELECTION NEARS Crowd Gives Curtis Chautau- qua Cheer as He Pinch | Hits For Hoover By GEORGE D. MANN Los Angeles, Aug. 4.—Upon the heels of the Olympic games, Cali- fornia will enter vigorously a politi- cal Olympiad of considerable signifi- cance. Nomination of a United States senator and the selection of Scores of other officials faces the state in August. | Vice President Curtis, representing | President Hoover at the Olympic games, has been here but he refused to talk politics. California also fi to greet him with any more than usual formal welcoming. There was| nothing estatic in the meeting, no cheers and no hats cast into the air. Just a nice refined salute, more like the kind that used to charact | ovations to favorites at the village! chautauqua. There is a strong un- dercurrent of disappointment here because President Hoover did not cast aside the duties of his office and for- mally open the games which Cali- fornia has been working to secure! for more than 12 years. Los Angeles folk wanted no one less than the president of the United States to open their Olympiad. They drew the rather negative Charles Curtis of Kansas. Californians always want their shows to hit on all cylinders and the committee seems to have missed fire in failing to have Hoover here} for the festivities, President Hoover's representative, | however, is a most gracious substi- tute. Perfectly frocked, under a sun that baked and cooked, he omitted nothing that would reflect the high office of the presidency. He rode in a parade to the dedication of Califor- nia’s new $2,000,000 state building situated in the heart of Los Angeles’ civic center, and pinned upon Amelia Earhart Putnam the congressional medal for distinguished feats in avi tion. President Hoover sent Mr: Putnam a special message which was Tread by Vice President Curtis. Thej| mention of Hoover brought hardly any applause at all. Amelia, how- ever, got a great ovation. Another administration worker is{ here dividing his time between Los} Angeles and San Francisco. He is Assistant Secretary of the Navy Earn- est Lee Jahncke, member of the In- ternational Olympic committee. He} Gelivered an eulogy upon President} Hoover at the Shriners’ convention but has not been featured as yet at/ the games. Sea and air forces of the Navy are here in abundance and Cal- ifornia cannot complain but that the Hoover administration has done everything in its power to add to the| color of the Tenth Olympiad. ee ea ize Los Angeles is always going through | some form of election, either reguiar}; or recall. Tourists are kept busy ex- plaining to signature hunters that they can’t sign as they have no vote in the state. A few months ago they! tried to recall Mayor Porter but the recallists met with defeat. Now they are after some judges whom they have dubbed the “gift judges.” These jurists are supposed to have run their offices on the cash-and-carry sys- tem, taking favors from litigants and putting receiverships into favored hands, ‘The other day one of the judges was tried on ouster charges and ac- quitted. It was alleged that he gave his press agent an appointment as receiver in return for benefits re-| ceived. Now the petition circulators are running hither and yon getting sign- ers. They received so much for each uame, by the committee backing the recall of the judges, and beyond that point seem to have no more interest in the fracas. After studying Cali- fornia’s use of the recall, initiative and referendum, North Dakota seems conservative. Twichell and his fol- lowers can get some new stunts out here. But the cry of radicalism is not raised here at all. Californians take their “isms” as calmly as they do the climate. The climate may ex- plain some of the “isms.” * * J. F. T. O'Connor, formerly of Grand Forks, now a prominent Los Angeles attorney and an ex-law part-} ner of William Gibbs McAdoo, has just won @ million dollar verdict in an important California case. “Jefty” is a leading member of the bar and wields quite a political power from a very finely appointed legal office atop one of Los Angeles’ most swanky Office buildings. O'Connor handled Roosevelt's cam- paign for southern California and worked closely with McAdoo during the Garner swing to the New York fernor. He was very close to Jim Farley and if Roosevelt wins, O’Con- nor should be heard from in a na- tional political way. ters Johnson and Shortridge come from northern California. More than half or at least half of the California vote is in Los Angeles county and southern California believes that one United States senator should come from lower California. O’Connor thinks McAdoo's position will be on this point alone. In his nation, in the solution of in- ternational reg si problems, particular!

Wisecracks at Hoover in exactly complimentary. except the Hearst system, are for Hoover. Hearst is going the limit, as only he can go, for Roosevelt and Garner. State headquarters, both in opened for Roosevelt. An influential group in Los An- geles, comprising well known Repub- licans, have organized a Roosevelt Republican club. A recent poll of a rather conservative Republican club in Los Angeles showed a very de- cided leaning toward Roosevelt. These are just political rebellions, the importance of which it is hard to gauge at this early stage of the ‘ampaign. There is a more serious trend away from Republican loyalty, and that is evident in the great in- crease in Democratic registrations. In some political divisions the trend is alarming to the. Republican bosses. In the primaries scheduled for Aug- ust many will resister as Republicans to vote for local Republican candi- in the fall they will scratch their bailot and not vote it straight. Cali- fornia Republicans have had a habit pressure of economic conditions. * Oe Handsome Gov. James Rolph, Jr., of San Francisco, is under fire be- cause of an expensive state govern- ment. At the pier, in his home town, set up an organization to curtail Ss. California's entire state, coun- nd city budgets amount to about half a billion, In the show window of this organization is a great hopper and into it rides gold dollars at the rate of $16 a second. There is visu- alized in a great gunnysack 500,000,- 000 gold dollars, In dedicating the state building, Gov. Rolph resented criticism of his expenditures. He defended them on the ground of offering jobs to many Unemployed. During the course of his speech he said that next winter the sti faced a severe task of car- ing for the poor, indicating more state money needed fer poor relief, Work Out New Scale For Montana Miners Billings, Mont., Aug. 4.—(AP)— The joint wage scale committee of District No. 27 of the United Mine Workers of America and the Mon- tana Coal Operators association have Negotiated a 10-month contract call- ing for wage reductions averaging 20.6 per cent, union officials an- nounced, The contract will be submitted to the Montana union locals for ratifi- cation Aug. 11.

For both, the president’s official agreement to run again largely will conclude the Republican course out-4 lined by the Chicago platform—just as the Democratic repeal and modi- fication promises have been elabo- rated by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. Speculation holds sway meanwhile, with groups on both sides marking time—except for field work in scat- tered congressional primaries, With first drafts of Hoover's speech completed — and closely guarded — some contend the chief executive will confine his remarks to an acknowledgment of the Republi. can plank which declares for submis- sion or repeal in a way intended to prevent the return of the saloon and retain federal control of the liquor traffic. Others hold the president will dis- cuss the issue at length, defining in detail his own views on the prohibi- tion problem. But from one outstanding rohi- dwin C. Dinwiddie, executive secretary of the prohibition board of strategy— came the remark: “Some of us don’t think it will change the picture much.” Dinwiddie did not elaborate this statement, made during an interview, will support the president. >—____ —__-. ___~ 4 | At the Movies | — 2 CAPITOL THEATRE A little known but highly dramatic phase of the great World War is graphically portrayed in Universal's “The Doomed Battalion”: which was booked yesterday for early showing at the Capitol Theatre. The setting of this unusual war film is laid in the rugged grandeur of the Dolomite Alps of Austria, where thrilling battles between Aus- trian and Italian mountain troops de- cided important issues in the recent struggle of nations. Tala Birell, brilliant European star of many Continental triumphs, makes her American debut as the loyal wife of an Austrian mountain guide, who must harbor the man commissioned to destroy her husband’s company. The tense situation and its exciting solution provide the screen with one of the most dramatic sequences af- forded in years, according to advance | reports, Other featured members of the cast of “The Doomed Battalion” include Luis Trenker, Victor Varconi, and Henry Armetta. The picture was di- rected by Cyril Gardner. Luis Trenk- er for many years actually lived the part he enacts in this picture. The opening date of “The Doomed Bat- talion” will be announced soon.

If you play golf, tennis, baseball, football, checkers, chess, billiards. polo or even shoot dice, there’s a tax in it for Uncle Sam. Likewise, it’s all the same if you prefer to go canoeing or fishing, shoot with bow and arrow, box with ® heavyweight or play ping-pong. For on sporting goods of every sort (except those used in games by chil- dren, and those that constitute play- ground and gymnasium equipment) there is a 10 per cent federal tax un- der the new revenue bill designed to balance the federal budget. Experts estimate it will yield $5,000,000. This, like mahy others, is a tax placed on the sale price of the manu- facturer or importer. In most cases, it is passed along to the consumer— the retail price being quietly raised to cover the tax. In other cases, the tax is appended to the retail price as such. In certain small items it is absorbed by the dealer. Thus, when a golfer buys a new 75-cent ball to replace the one he has lost in the tall grass, Uncle Sam gets a tax equal to 10 per cent of the} manufacturer's sale price, though the Washington, Aug. 4.—(AP)—The Receiving Money for Dollar Wheat’ Drive Devils Lake, N.
