ROOSEVELT DECLARES DEPRESSION BEGUN BY
 STOCK SPECULATION

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug, 20, (P) Governor Franklin Delano ROos- evelt, Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States, in opening his campaign to meet the Republican challenge, demand ed governmental supervision in stock selling, and more stringent banking laws for the great mass of average American men and women who have been forgotten by those in power.
 Hemmering away at the Repub- lican theory of government in bus mess, Governor Roosevelt charged the depression began when un- bridled speculation spread over to Europe and continued because the Hoover administration refused to recognize or correct the evil.
 The Republican administration delayed relief and forgot reform. Roosevelt was reminded that Hoov- CT promised continuing prosper ity."
 Roosevelt suggested as remedies; prevention of issuance and manu- facture of unnecessary securities which have been brought into being merely to enrich those who handle sales. Legitimate sellers tell the use to which the money is to be put. Federal regulation of exchanges whose business is buying and sell ing securities and commodities, should be given a more rigid sup ervision. as we'll as over national banks for the protection of depos- itors.
 Roosevelt also proposed preven- tion of banks using deposits for speculation which is detrimental to local credit, separation of invest ment and commercial banking, res friction of Federal reserve banks in accordance with original plans and, prevention of officials of the next administration influencing stock prices by word or deed.
 A crowd of 25 ,OOO heard the Dem acratic presidential candidate make his first campaign address. He was accompanied to the stadium by former Governor James Cox and Governor Roosevelt.

WAGE PAYMENTS BY BUILDERS PROTESTED
 BY NEVADA SENATOR

LAS VEGAS, Nev., Aug, 20, - Building contractors of the huge Hoover dam, near here, were criti- cized severely Friday by Senator Oddie in a special message to Pres ident Hoover.

 Oddie pointed out that the con- tractors were paid in United States currency. He also declared that the contractors were the ones bene- fitting from this practice by the stores as the stores, generally, are controlled by the contractors.
 In addition to the pay slip griev- ances, the Senator cited others which included the limiting of the workers to a 30-hour week.

 Referee Harry Lee had repeatedly warned "Sal' about hitting below the equator" but Babe" seemed unable to distinguish Tod's belt line. At no time did Morgan com- plain, but the last foul blow was so evident that Lee raised Mor- gan's arm in token of victory.

 SalSOriO was either knocked down or tripped in the first round; also, Morgan was down on both knees firm Salsorio's hammerings in this round.

P|CCARD ASKS FINANCIAL AID FROM AMERICA F0R
 HIS NEXT BALLOON TRIP

ROME, Aug, 20, Prof. August Piccard, who just completed his second ascent into the stratosphere in balloon, Friday made an ap- peal to America for financial aid for his third trip to the upper reaches in quest of further scien- tific lore. This third trip is being arranged to be made from a point on the shores of Hudson Bay.
 Professor Piccard does not want to make the trip himself but wants to supervise such a flight. He has gone up on two occasions already and, in his opinion, that is enough skylarking for the present.
 AS a result of his studies of the stratospheric conditions, Professor Plccard was asked whether or not alrplanes could use the stratos- phere in long distance flying. The learned scientist replied that he expected to see planes flying be- tween Europe and the United States, through the stratosphere, in a time something like six hours.
 He and his assistant left Italy on Friday for Brussels, Belgium, where ne goes to present the data collect ed on his latest ascent, to his col leagues.

ALASKA AT THE CAPITOL

Representative Robert L. Bacon of New York, has compiled and had printed in the Congressional Re- cord tables showing the collection of Fedeal taxres from States and Territories for the fiscal year 1881, and the amounts received by States as subsidiaries. It shoWes that with a population of 123, ,202,6 ,660 the total internal revenue collections were $2,428, 754 and the total income taxes $1 ,86O,O4O,497. The total direct Federal aid to States was S219, 9,162,574 and deducting this sum leaves the total amount of re- venue paid by the States to be $2,209, ,066,18O. Alaskas internal revenue collections amounted to S135,475, composed almost entirely of income tax collections, which amounted to $133,967. After de- ducting our direct Federal aid of $89,357, it leaves a balance paid by the territory of $46,118, on the basis of population of 59,278. Ha- waii's total revenue collections were $4,816,475 with direct Federal aid of $864,121, leaving net revenue paid by the Territory of $3,952, 1854, on basis of 368,336 population.

 Word comes to the office of Del egate Wickersham, from Ketchikan and other sections of the Territory, that the large amount of unemplOy- ment in Alaska will make it neces- sary this fall and winter for Gover- nor Parks to seek a portion of the $300,000,0O0 made available for dis position by the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to the various needy States and Territories. If the resources of Alaska are inadequate to meet it's relief needs when the Governor is authorized to borrow from the Corporation such amounts as may be necessary, at rate of 3 per centum per annum. The funds borrowed shall be administered by the Governor or under his direction. The suggestion is made that in buy ing needed supplies for the unen- ployed and unfortunate that gen. eral price agreement be secured from the retail grocers and that the supplies be purchased in the com munities in which they are to be dispensed

members of the Senate and House Department and various committee friendly to Alaska went into the subject and all decided that Alaska would receive larger appropriations under the present system, rather than to secure Federal Highway Aid. When MT. McDuffie, Chairman of the Economy Committee of the House, declares that Alaska, with her small population is not entitl- ed to any road appropriations it may be understood how difficult it is to induce the Democratic major lty in the House to agree to extend reasonable road appropriations for Alaska. When Chairman McDuffie moved to eliminate the entire ap- propriation for 1883 the motion was only defeated by six votes.

 An inquiry has come from Alaska as to the number of patented min ing claims in the Territory and as to whether there are not large areas of patented ground owned by ab- sentee landlords, and which are held purely for speculation with no effort made to develop them. It is difficult to ascertain the number of claims patented but the Depart ment of the Interior is now figur- ing out the number of patents that have been issued, with the idea that each patent will average be- tween two and three claims, as the large majority are for one claim only. But the Department states that after patent is issued it is almost impossible to determine into whose hands the claims finally reach.
 For the care and custody of per- sons legally adjudged insane in Alaska the sum of $156,OOO has been provided. The Sanitarium Compa- ny of Portland, Ore, or any other contracting institution is not to receive more than $564 per capita per annum for the care and main tenance of these insane Alaska patients during the present fiscal year.
 A Congressman had suggested to the Department of the Interior that it might be matter of great econ- omy if the Alaska Railroad were closed down from November 1 to March 16. The idea was not fa- vored by Secretary Wilbur, but he took it up with General Manager Ohlson, and he also reported ad- versely on the proposition, so it is expected the railroad will be op- erated as usual.
