APPOINT CHIEF

From recent papers l see thai
there is movement on foot to Sc
cure repeal of the law enacted by
the legislature of 1917, under which
tn office Of chief of police was abol
ished, and the appointment Of city
marshall by the mayor, subject tc
the approval and confirmation by
the city council, provided.
This would be, in my judgment, a
mistake, and step backward l took
an active interest in the passage of
that act, because l had been as
sured by the former mayors of our
city, that the chief of police, being
elected by the people, was independ-
ent of them, and did not hesitate to
admoinsh them that he was not re-
sponsible to them, but to the people,
for the management of his depart.
ment, and that the other members
of the police force acted in accord
ance with the orders of the chief, and
they were powerless to enforce the
laws against gambling and other
crimes then prevalent in the city.
1t presented the old mistake of a
division of authority, with no one
directly responsible. and the laws
trampled under foot.
Let us have our mayor, and coun-
cilmen, men of high character, and
recognized ability, and give them
the power to select their aids for the
policing of the city, and they alone
responsible to the people. Then the
best results can be assured. We all
know of the activities of our former
chief of police, and we know only
too well the fruits we have reaped,
and we know the classes to which
they appealed. If the mayor and
councilmen are to be (and they
should be- responsible for the proper
administration of the affairs of the
city, they should be clothed with
the power to Select the men who are
to be their reliance for the enforce
ment of the laws of the state and
the ordinances of the city
Let the laws remain as now in
force, and spare us the possibility of
the shame that we have had to bear
in the past
Respectfully,
THOMAS j. O'NEILL.

STANDARD OIL MAN
SAYS GAS is SHORT
By United Press.

by united Press.
NEW YORK, Feb IA world
( shortage of gasoline waits just
around the corner for the motor
propelled world, according to Mark
L. Requa, Standard Oil official, who
has been directing the oil division
activities of the fuel administration.
The only preventive, Requa be-
lieves, is an engine that will burn
crude OIL
The American Society of Automo-
tive Engineers, in session here today,
is considering this problem, put up
to it by Requa and his associates.
j. e. Pogue, who has been devoting
his attention, for the government, to
oil conservation, is scheduled to tell
the engineers that but so per cent
of the petroleum produced in this
country is being utilized, that kero-
sene burning engines, while a great
help in conservation, will not solve
the difficulty, and that much higher
prices for gasoline are ahead unless
the lrude oil burning engine comes
to the rescue.

Council National Defense Shows
Figures Resulting from War
Activities; Soldiers Fur
nish Labor.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Feb 12.
The attention of the Oklahoma
State Council of Defense has been
drawn by the United States Depart
ment of Labor to the shortage of
homes in the United States, result
ing from the restrictions on the use
of building material during the war
and showing opportunities for the
placing of an army of workmen from
among the soldiers now being de-
modified The bulletin says:
In normal times, under normal
conditions, we required the building
of about O,OO0 homes per year to
supply the normal growth Of the
country, and replace the losses oc-
casioned by fire and other destruc-
tive agencies. For the past two
years, owing to causes growing out
of the world war, this normal con-
struction of homes, has been practi-
cally suspended. What housing con-
struction has been accomplished, has
been for the major part, that which
was demanded to meet war condi-
tions. Shortage of labor and re
strictions on the use of building ma
terial stopped the work.
at this time there is a short
age of homes in America of nearly
a million, to which must be added
the normal requirements of the
year just opening Most of the
present shortage has not been wholly
but has been merely post
poned and delayed, and the pressure
to inaugurate and complete this de-
lay cons ]ction will shortly be felt;
as soon as weather and climatic con-
ditions make such work feasible
"The rehabilitation of the military
and naval forces, now in progress,
and the release of workmen from
the shipbuilding and munition plants |
and other war industries, furnishes |
the supply of labor which has ham, |
pered building for the past two years,
and the removal of restrictions on
the use of material and transporta-
ton which so largely contributed to
block home construction, all com
bine to make the resumption of home
now possible"
The Division of Public Works and
Development, Informa-
ion and Education Service, of the
of Labor, is now work
ng with the building and loan in
erests endeavoring to work out a
way to make liquid the associations
lssets to the end that more money
nay be available for home building
oans.

trolling twenty per cent of the voters,
can do practically as he pleases.
"Under our present charter, the Mayor
also has the power to use his discretion
in the management of our finances,
which has. been greatly abused. Our
bill compels him to submit budget or
