SOME QUESTIONS AS TO

Lawrence +. Glass, secretary of
the local board for Nye county to-
day received the following communi-
cation from Maurice J. Sullivan, ad-
jutant general:
THE district board has original
jurisdiction of Industrial and agri-
cultural claims for deferred classifi-
cation In such cases the local board
simply makes recommendation to the
district board as per second para
graph on page 16 Of the question
naire, and this acts as a guide for
determination by the district board. "
The local board shall in no case
classify on the ground of being
engaged industrially or agriculturally,
as that function belongs solely to the
district board. Where there is no
dependency claim and an industrial
or agricultural claim, II the classified
tion by the local board on claims
other than industrial or agricultural
is more deferred than the classified
tion OF the district board on agri
cultural or Industrial grounds. the
classification by the local boarC

BIG SHAKEUP IN
GOTHAM'S POLICE
NEW MAYOR DISMISSED CON-
MISSIONER FOR MOTT
PROSECUTING.


NEW YORK, Jan 24-An up7
heaval in the New York police de-
partment, the most sensational in
years, was caused by Mayor John F.
Hylan when he demanded the res
ignation as commissioner of Fred
erick H. Bugher, whom he appointed
to the office on January /. Mr..
Bugher promptly complied with the
demand.
Mayor Hylan appointed a uni
formed man as acting commissioner,
selecting for the post Lieutenant
Richard Z. Enright
Enright for many years head of
the Police Lieutenants' Benevolent
association, had led a picturesque
career on the force. He is 46 years
old and was appointed a patrolman
in 1896 He is reported to be affili-
ated with Tammany Hall.
The ostensible reason for the re-
moval of Bugher was his failure to
suspend members of the motorcycle
squad on charges of levying tribute
on motorists accused of violating
traffic regulations.
Bugher declared that he was
about to place these men on trial
and that the real reason for his dis
missal was his refusal to submit to
dictation by the mayor in the mat
ter of appointments. and his deter
mination to keep politics out of the
department.

Dodging the Inevitable

The House of Representatives has once
more refused to create committee on
war expenditures. The House usuallv
shrinks from undermining it's procedure
and conforming it's methods Of doing
business to new requirements. A COM
mlttee on expenditures would be radi
cal innovation. Therefore the majority
IN the present House will have none of it.
This fear is unreasoning. 1t obstructs

spending only S1,000O00,0o0 to ST., 500

go ahead spending $4,000, 100000 or
$4,000, 100000 year without the safe
guards of administrative accountability
and legislative audit and control.
We have been proceeding on the mis-
taken theory that Congress is competent
to originate and determine down to the
last detail the expenditures of the execu-
tive branch and that it is a normal func
tion of the executive to audit it's own ex-
pense accounts. Chaos naturally results
from such a confusion of duties. 1t is
only form of words to say that the
House and Senate Appropriation com
mittces any longer decide what the ex-
ecutive departments are to spend
