The expediency of encouraging the organization
OF independent military companies is approved by
continuous legislation, from the foundation Of the
state government until the present time. Under
exigenciss not unlikely to occur under our form of
government these organizations frequently furnish
indispensable aid in the preservation of order and
the administration of law. The pubic spirit which
inspires their formation, often at large personal
sacrifice on the part of both officers and men, de-
serves the highest coInmendation and / earnestly
hope that you will deem it wise for the state to con-
tribute more literally to the support Of these or
