0|LhG the R0ABs BOYS NOT EXEMPT
LOCAL BOARD RULES AGAINST
THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS.

Consideration of the many claims
and affidavits claiming right to ex-
emption from CONSUMPTION for fed
eral military service has been COM
pleted by the local board of exemp-
tion and notices are being mailed to-
day to those having claims allowed |
The number of exemptions is not
great, in ratio to the number of |
claims filed. The board was gov
erned in it's decisions by a set of |
rules that removed its work from pos
sibility of favoritism.
THE selectiye draft was made for
the purpose of raising an army for
the United States government. Elk
emptions were to be granted only
when the best interests of the gov
eminent would be served by grant
ing such exemption. Exemption
is not for the convenience or benefit
of the individual, but for the convent
ence and the benefit of the govern
ment." All effort was extended to
make the selective draft uniform in
application and operation.
Marriage alone was not considered
ground for exemption. Actual
showing of dependents had to- be
clearly and definitely set forth and
proved and to the extent that said
dependent would be left without sup
port and charge upon state or COM
munity, or in other words, if the de-
pendents apparently can support
themselves or have relatives who are
able to support them, the case was
solved in favor of the government.
Claim for discharge because of en-
gagement in agricultural or indus
trial enterprise was not regarded as
sufficiently established, unless evil
dence was furnished showing that if
the conscripted one were not dis
charged, it would result in the dis
continuance of or serious interruption
of the enterprise. -.H
Exemptions have been granted on
ly when evidence and the investiga-
ton thereof have shown that it will
be or the best interests of the govern
/, ment that the party be left at homo.
In the following cases exemption was
denied by the local board, and fuT-
Their claims must go to the district
board at Des Moines:
