of activity the past few years, ara
going to be less in demand in the flu
ture.
The opinion Of administration
heads is that the findings of investi-

much and that necessary inquiries
may be made better in some other
way.
For instance. the Department Of
Justice is to reduce its force of in
vestigators by at least half.
Investigations, hereafter, will be
principally by grand juries.
Attorney General Daugherty has
set himself the job Of making over
the political patchwork" of our
present system of federal courts into
"a scientific piece of judicial machine

THE trouble has been," Daugherty
says, that we have added new
judges and new districts from time to

siderations. What we want to do now
Is forget politics and reorganize the
federal judicial machinery in the in-

Dear Mr.. G~oldberger:

I'VE agree with you that the facts
in this case are essentially different
from the instant Ease in that they
involve the determination Of the
amount requisite for current ex-
penses for the school year, action
upon which is required to be taken
by the Board of School Estimate
within a specified time limit. On
the general proposition that a legal
meeting of the Board of School Esti-
mate cannot be held, except upon a
request from the Board of Educa-
ton, with all due respect to the
commissioner, we think this conclu-
sion is clearly erroneous. The argu-
ment on this point is quite meagre
and not at all persuasive; in fact.
the only argument made in support
of this conclusion is the following in
which the commissioners says:
1.-THE powers of the Board of
School Estimate are limited to act
ing upon request for appropriations
by the Board of Education
This is undoubtedly true so far
as it relates to appropriations for the
purchase Of lands, erecting school
