Nebraskan Is New
US. Watch Dog
First Comptroller Under Bud.
get System Will Stop Ac.
count Juggling.

Washington. May 20.--J. r. Nc
Carl. former law partner of Senator
George w. Norris Of Nebraska and
now comptroller under the new bud
get law, has evolved new system
of accounting for the government
which. he believes. will enable the
government TO maintain more ac-
curate check on expenditures and
receipts.
Mr.. McCarls system provides that
the accounts show the disburse-
ments by objects. Heretofore it has
been the custom to report expen-
ditures in lump sum. Under Mr..
McCarps system, it will be possible
to determine just how much was
spent for ink, how much for pencils,
how much for paper, etc, and will be
difficult for the government agencies
to juggle their accounts.
This system of accounting will be
standardized so the weekly and
monthly reports from the various de-
partments will show just how much
OF the various supply articles is be-
ing purchased.
Mr.. McCarl is the first comptrol-
Ter under the budget system and is
appointed for term Of IS years.
This young Nebraskan commenced
his political career in McCook. He
was connected with the speakers
bureau at the republican national
headquarters in Chicago during tho
Hughes campaign and later became
secretary of the republican con-
gressional committee.
