WALL STREET
 IS SATISFIED
Governments Policy Is Be. lieved Stated by Roose-
 welt in Speech

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O.- Wall Street hailed the Presidents Roa- noke speech as an expression of an inevitable Government policy with lessening fears of uncontrolled imitation.
 The Streets chief concern is de- scribed as over especially as to misdirected Government spending and effect of a series of unbalanced budgets.
 The portion of the President s speech, given yesterday at Roa- noke, Virginia, that gave Wall Street assurance, was when he re- ferred to the inability of the Gov ernment to pay cash bonus now, but eliminate causes of depression which would cost money to do it. In the spending of this money we must have due regard for the good credit of the Government of the United States. That means we can- not spend at once or in any year all we could usefully spend"

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 20 -California's election campaign IS fast developing into a battle o1 book reviewers.
 The literary critics art got It's political baptism with the publ- cation of T, Governor of Califor- nia,' in which Upton Sinclair twice defeated as socialist candi- date for governor, acquired the Democratic nomination, seated him- self in the chief executives char at Sacramento and subsequently, abolished poverty from the Golden State. (Sinclair's program was em- bodied under the letters EPIC, standing for End Poverty in Cali fornia.D
 Next came Epic Answers" in which the same author went into more detail regarding the EPIC plan and related his conceptions as to how it would affect the vari- ous classes of people from school teacher to banker.
 Then followed Immediate Epic" with the result that with the bal loting less than a month away, perusal of the three publications has elevated book reviewing to new heights of practical politics.
 Criticism Aids Revision
 Between q, Governor" and I'm mediate Epic" there is more of a spread than merely elapsed time. There have been numerous modi- fications of doctrine which the author admits with the explana- ton the EPIC plan has been re- vised in the light of full years criticism We have learned from our friends how to improve the

LONG LIFE FOR
 ALASKA JUNEAU BY THANE DEAL
Stabilized Payroll Is Also Assured d-Development
 Work Planned

"The acquisition of the Alaska Mining and Power Company, form erly known as the Alaska Cas- tineau property, by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, an- nounced yesterday from New York City, will materially prolong and stabilize the operation of the AL aska Juneau" L. H. Metzgar, Gen |eral Manager of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, said today. No immediate increase in em- ployment by the Alaska Juneau will result from the acquisition, MT. Metzgar said, but later a limited gradual increase in employees will take place.
 MT. Metzgar pointed out that this increase would probably not be large, but that the purchase of the property in addition to adding to the life of the Alaska Juneau mine would stabilize the entire operation, including the number of employees, which is a larger num- Der than average, now
 Development Work Development work on the newly acquired mining property will start at once, MT. Metzgar advised, but the crews who were finishing up similar work on property the com pany already owned would be shift ed to the new work, and general employment at the A-J., because of the purchase would thus be held to the high summer level, with possibly some additional.
 The development work will tie in some of the former Gastineau ore bodies with the A.-J. opera tions and coordinate the mining of them to bring about the most efficient and economic operation of the combined properties possible.
 Property Acquired
 The sale brings to the Alaska Juneau all of the claims held by the Alaska Gastineau, Persever- ance, Silver Bow Basin, all the mill sites, building and equipment at Thane, all water rights held by the former owners, and the Annex and Salmon Creek power plants.
 No immediate plans for the dis position of the buildings at Thane have been made, MT Metzgar said
 The transfer of the holdings yes- terday consummated one of the largest business transactions in ths history of Gastineau Channel, and the largest mining deal in many years.
 The Alaska Juneau gave 84,703 shares of Al. stock for the prop erty. Yesterdays quotation on AL aska Juneau was 1874, whic h makes the cash value of the stock turned over amount to approxi- mately $1,586,000.

Disagrees With President Regarding Conditions
 of War Veterans

MIAMI, Florida, Oct. 20.-Edward A. Hayes, National Commander of the American Legion, expressed disagreement with President Roose- welt that World War veterans are better off from the point of view of employment and annual income than the average of any other great group of citizens
 Vets Handicapped
 Commander Hayes said there is ample proof that vast majority of the veterans are handicapped because of their service to the Government in the World War. He explained that 'loss of time, vir- tually donated to the Government, interruptions of careers, loss of priority, decrease of earning power in thousands of instances, is due to disability, and these have perm anently set them back of the aver age citizen"
 DeSreVe frOttctiOn
 For these reasons, Commander Hayes said, the veteran contends that the man who gave his serv- ices to the country in the great emergency, now deserves protection over all other citizens and this automatically places him in that class which the public generally conceded was his due in 1917 when he was called to the war He is in a separate class he should receive justice"
 Opinions Differ
 The disagreement in opinion be- tween Commander Hayes and the President followed the latter's ad- dress yesterday at the dedication of the new Veterans Hospital near Roanoke. Virginia. Without men, tioning the bonus, the President told the Nations war veterans they are better off than any other group of citizens and called to their attention the needs of the under privileged "fotgotten" in ev- cry locality.
 Plain Warning
 The statement, with the Ameri- can Legion convention only a few days off, was considered a plain warning that the Government is in no position to pay cash bonus at this time.
 Several days ago Commander Hayes indicated there would be no steam-rolling of the bonus is- sue before the convention and all would be given an opportunity to be heard on the subject.

German Field Marshal, Who Nearly Took Paris, Passes
 Aluay m Berlin from Grief

BERLIN, Oct 20-Saddened by the death of his only grandchild, Alexander, who was killed in an auto accident last March, Gen. Alexander von Kluck, aged 88 years, is dead here.
 The name of Field Marshal Alex ander von Kluck, the man who nearly took Paris" always recalled to Germans of the old school of patriotism that thrilling first month of the World War when their vic torious armies, after sweeping through Belgium, came within an ace of enveloping the French capi- tai.
 It was von Kluck, as Commander of the German first army in the west, whose name was in every body's mouth when official bulle- tins announced on September 3, 1914, that his cavalry patrols were sweeping westward of Paris. " Great was the jubilation in the fatherland for, after barely month of fighting, auguries pointed to an- other peace of Versailles like the one that ended the Franco-Prus- sian conflict of 1870-71 and evolved into proclamation of a greater Ger many.
 Tide Changes
 Then the tide turned. Von Kluck's troops were diverted to help General von Buelow's second army, which had gotten into diff ficulties through French counter move. Tacticians have stated that

In T, Governor" the author said, regarding the plan, that he expected to put it all through in the first year. As he further stated the plan comes first and the par ty comes second" there is a dis position to wage the battle on the candidates official publication of principles and base the arguments pro and con, on interpretation of the successive publications rath- CT than upon the platform which is not binding upon the nominee
 Bank Crusade Omitted
 In the latest publication there is no mention of an intention to in- stitute a crusade to persuade the people to withdraw their savings from private banks and turn them over to the state to be used for the development of a state system oi industrial production The au- thor formerly had said, Tt would not be very long, think, before the private bankers would be beg ging the state to buy their beau tiful marble palaces at cost, and we should put an end to the pri- vate control of credit, etc"
 But the bankers, in the newest book, are told bluntly that nc "sabotaging' of the plan will be tolerated. We have to make ii plain that efforts at sabotage will not frighten us, and that if we cannot find anybody else to tax we will tax the banks" "Immedi- ate Epic" relates.

" The petition calling for omission of the school session on December S1, and to be circulating among teachers of the city was strangely missing this morning..
 Asked whether the petition had been brought to lis attention, Dr Thomas J. .Condon, superintendent of shcools, simply said "No,' and and did not enlarge on the state ment. e.
 Teacher of the various grammar schools, where the plea for the revision of the schedule was said to have originated, denied knowledge of the petition, although majority expressed their willingness to sign in the, event that the missing mi : sive turns up.
 All of those questioned admitted that the idea was good.
