II IS NOT RIGRT
TO Transfer National Guard to Fed.
eral AathorltIes.

The proposition nude by
| Major Webb Hayes to President
Mckinley TO place the National
guard Of the several States under
military or in other words. to
place it upon the basis of the
regular army, under reserve.
subject to federal authority, is
not a new one, but its revival At
this time is significant, and there
is little question that it viii be
combatted vigorously by the ma
iority of the States.
Down here in West Virginia,
the idea has never met with APP
proval. 1t is generally consid-
cred impracticable, and it is be-
Ilieved that its contamination
would lead to complications and
interfere with the prerogative
of the States.
Governor Atkinson expressed
himself vigorously against the
proposition. at does not strike
me at ALL he said; .'it would
never do to take the National
guard from under the control of
the State. The Governor of a
State is the executive OF Its laws.
Suppose some trouble would
arise down here in one of the
counties and Iwere called upon
to assist the sheriff to maintain
order. Suppose the United
States had control of the National
guard, where would be? j could
not execute the laws ! was sworn
to execute. Therefore, | think
the proposed transfer of authori-
ty would be unconstitutional, be-
cause it would rob the Governor,
of his power to execute the law.
I'VE would have to call on the
United States for help, and by
the time all the red tape could
be gone through with. the dam.
age would be done,
Nor would It be right. withsa
National guard 70 organize anoth-
er guard for State purposes. 1t
would be an unnecessary ex.
pense and there would bea con-
slant conflict between the federal
and State authorities.
No Governor has had more ex-
perience with the guard than
Governor MacCorkle. 1t was
during his administration that
the guard was ordered out to
maintain the law during the big
coal strike, and upon this occa-
sion the State administration was
kept busp keeping the federal
authorities from meddling with
the States troubles.
tI depreciate the tendency OF
the government to absorb the
prerogatives and rights of the
States,r said ex. Governor Mac.
Corkle land l believe that loyal
citizens Of the State should Wig.
orously oppose any such an idea
as that proposed by Maj. Hayes.
1--WE do not want to let the gov
eminent acquire control Of the
guard. 1t is essentially State
Organisation formed 10 protect
the State. The government
should have q standing army OF
say so, 900 men. and the guard
should be absolutely under the
control Of the State authorities.
:. The execution of this idea
would.be a long step towards
that imperialism we are trying
to avoid.
Then suppose the plan was
carried out, all sorts Of compli:
cations would ensue. Suppose
| for instance, that the State and
United States government both
varied the services ofthe guard
at the same time, what would be
the result? 1 tell you it would
never do"
