Dismissal of Public Em-
 ployes Will be Resorted To if Necessary to Live on Money Appropriated
Paonessa Disapproves of Assembly's Action of In- creasing Police Court Judges Salary With No Provision for It.

| Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa has instruct- l ed the police and fire commissions that they must keep within their appropriations even if it is necessary for them to lay off policemen or fire- men, and he announced this after- noon that he would follow out tho, same policy in the general govern ment, and if it is necessary to avoid an overhaul in the payment of the increased salary of judge, some of tha present city employees may be ren- dered jobless.
 The mayor expressed disapproyaLi of the action of the legislature inl increasing the judges salary to $4,-. GOO when no provision for the in- creased pay was made in the budget. {. He pointed out what he believed vast an inconsistent action of the generali assembly in keeping on the statute1 books law providing penalty forl commissions overdrawing appropria-. ations, and at the same time passing. bill that required an overdraft.
 Mayor Talks to Chairman
 Mayor Paonessa earlier in the weeki sent letters to all departments en- closing copy of the Searle resolution. passed by the city meeting board re- 'quiring that boards remain within their appropriations He also per- sonally discussed the matter with Chairman D. L. Dunn of the police board, and Chairman John E. R. KeeverS of the fire board He told the chairmen that it was imperative that there be no emergency budget 7 submitted to the city meeting board at the end of this year, as has been the case for several years past and therefore, even at the expense of re- ducing the personnel of the depart luents, there can be no exceeding of the budget provisions.
 Another "Shakcup'' Forecast
 The mayors announcement prac- ticaIly assures that within a few weeks there will be another shake up at city hall. There is not suffi- cient money in the budget to allow for the additional $500 payment to the judge of police court
 As the new budget will be in effect twd weeks from next Monday any changes that are to be made, will be put into effect at that time

 flated $7,000,OOO

| Des Moines, Ia., March 15.-Tht next big problem which confronts congress is revision of the transporta. tion act so as to squeeze the 'seyer billion dollars of watered stock out of railroad valuations" Senator Smith w.. Brookhart of Iowa declared here last night before the Des Moines press club.
 '"The press has carried statement from Senator Cummins to the effect that it will take six months to re- wise the railroad laws" Senator Brookhart said. If that is true, an extra session of congress should be called at once and we should begin on the job"
 Senator Brookhart said he was op- posed to the suggestion that the gov ernment take over 75.000 miles of weaker railroads.
 "'rhe Wall street crowd would be only too glad to unload the weak roads on the government and con- tinue the private operation of the strong roads at high rates and gre4 profits.' he declared. If the goverH- ment should take over any roads, it should take over the Pennsylvania system the Burlington and the Union Pacific first"
 The latest recruit to join the army of propagandists" is James c. Davis the director general of railsoads, &C., cording to Senator Brookhaft.
 "The director general draws ar enormous salary from the government and spends much of his time in mak- ing speeches in defense of railroad mismanagement," he said.
