Mr.. Hatch, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported favorably on
the bill to amend the liquor law.
The bill passed to second reading.
Mr.. Damon asked if there was any
intention to form new companies of
sharpshooters, as he had seen men
toned in the papers. | would like
to say that in our present situation
we have good military force, equal
to anything that may arise, and to
increase the force would seem to
rather burden the Government.
Perhaps it would be enough to have
more officers. The force we have
now, properly otficered and drilled,
is fully sufficient to meet all that
may be called for. To increase our
force beyond what is ample has an
appearance of weakness and timidity
on our part. | being only layman,
however, may not be sufficiently
versed in such matters.
President Dole-These companies
Of sharpshooters are very simple in
organization. They are somewhat
of the nature of militia, and involve
only nominal expense. The Gov
ernment furnishes ammunition for
target practice. OF course it is a
matter of policy. 1t has been
thought that if there were men
wanting to go into such companies,
it was as we'll te authorize them.
Mr.. Brown - Has the executive
authorized their organization?
President Dole-No; except one
company at first organized.
Mr.. Brown feel something like
Mr.. Damon, that the formation of
unnecessary military forces is some
thing like an invitation for some one
to come and attack us. / do not see
why the Government should go to
the expense of furnishing ammuni-
ton or anything else. l think we
have enough forces to make any
combination not assisted from the
outside very sick before they got
through it.
Mr.. Emmeluth said his motion
last week for enlisting the civil SER
vice was in the line of reducing the
: military establishment. If they had
! turned out officials who were not in
sympathy with them, their military
might by this time have been largely
reduced.
President Dole said the principle
, of that was probably correct. They
were always looking for facts to
enable them to act judiciously.
= Mr.. Bolte did not coincide at all
with the views of Mr.. Damon. In
time of peace prepare for war. 1t
was not inviting attack but avoiding
attack, by showing that they were
prepared for anything that might
happen,
Mr.. Wilder said the last speaker
l had stated his views, If there was
e anybody willing to assist them they
o should be encouraged. There would
3 be very little organization, just
r enough to keep them together. Why
+ did nations build men-Of-war? Not
S because they expected to use them
= but to have them ready to use in
S case OF necessity.
5 Mr.. Damon said he did not wish

Y their control as we'll as the finances
r which they now had under control
The present military forces were
well disciplined and could be han

$ he spoke, He believed in having t
E good military and would not stick at

= tax could be levied for the support

taxpayers.
' President Dole stated that the OK

, would be merely nominal, Practic
