Quoting expenses for maintenance of

a. plan is now in course OF preparation

officer will forego the drawing of his
compensation until the session of the
legislature. IF an appropriation is
made, all right; if not, the state can

likely the truth to state that when the

much of it. EnliStments followed en-

The history Of the national guard OF
Utah is one of hard trials and great
tribulations. 1t was organized before
the admission of Utah as a state, at the
time when Caleb W. West was gov
ernor Of the territory. Governor west

deal for the guard. but the legislature

rled with small appropriations and
little or no encouragement was offered

governed it was not effective, and it is
a mystery that so much success as was
achieved, was achieved. The succeeding
legislature did little better. a code for
mulated by officers of experience and
ability was sent to the senate and
house. The military committee that
year was composed of men who knew
more of Blackstone than of Upton, and
when they flashed pairing down, the
emasculated remnant was of no use
whatever, as was demonstrated when
an ATTEMPT was made to enforce its
provisions. The appropriation was
scanty, and not one tenth the actual
needs.
Last winter when the Democrats
achieved cortro, of both houses, true
to the Democratic principle which
teaches that q well armed and we'll
drilled militia is the safeguard of ma
tional welfare, passed q law which be-
comes effective on the first day of the
new year. 1t provides for system of
discipline which can be enforced
against the recalcitrant, and will do
much toward making the efficiency of
the guard better and better. In addi-
ton to this, an appropriation somewhat
commensurate with the needs of the
guard was made. 1t was not all which
was required, but the intention of the
legislature was appreciated, and from
the newest recruit to the commanding
officer, a better feeling was noted. An
encampmert was held during the
month of September, at Mill Creek,
south of the city, for five days, where
much instruction was derived by all
who participated. This encampment
was a remarkably cheap affair, and
