serious menace TO our free institutions.
What is needed is law that will put the
militia of the several States upon pro-
portional basis. If il is deemed adequate
that the militia reserve should be 900 men,
appOrtioned among the States, let Congress
SO say and provide for the organization.
armingi and disciplining of that number.
On that basis Georgia would be required
10 keep in such conditions at least three
fun regiments of infantry troops
These troops should be organized under
the identical rules and regulations and with
the identical equipments OF the regular
army OF the United States nm so FAR as
those regulations will apply 20 militia forces
not in continuous active service In the field
or i'm army posts or encampmenfs- When
enlisted every man should understand that
ne is TO serve when called upon by the
Governor. whether for state service or TO
meet a quota requisition from the Prosl-
dent OF the United States.
Congress should appropriate the money
for work of arming. uniformlng and equip
ing these militia forces and for their train
ing in camps OF instruction The result
would be a thoroughly ready reserve OF
100000 efficient soldiers in any national
emergency requiring their services.
We believe this militia legislation Is OF

that the present session will not end with

TAX FOR POSTERS.
Square-Foot Rate Proposed to Abate
the Billboard Nuisance.

st. Paul Pioneer Press
A member of the New York Legislature
has introduced a bill TO impose a tax of
Il cent a square foot on posters and bill
boards. This is a practicable and just
way TO limit an ever-increasing evil. a
heavier tax would be more effective, but
at half a cent a square foot the longing
for signs that stretch from horizon to
horizon will be less irresistible More
compact and less glaring signs would
be found to bring in just excellent re-
turns as the present mOnstrOsities Nor Is
there any reason why these eyesores should
not pay a tax. The use of a street for
such purposes is an encroachment on the
rights of others. Streets are dedicated to
public use as thOrOughfares, not TO private
use for warehousing purposes or for peanut
vendors a business location. The ped
dler and even the hackmen and express
men are compelled 10 pay license in order
TO bring them under the control OF the
municipality and TO prevent abuse of the
common right to the streets
II none of these classes has the right to
use the streets for private purposes except
under a system that makes them all re-
sponsible TO the, authorities. why should
not the billboard concerns submit to the
same regulation? The billboard is pTOba-
bly, as obnoxious to as many people as is
the peddler' the organ grinder ,,Iitt or the
and ii is a constant source of dirt and
refuse. It ought to be reduced to a mini
mum, even if there were other reason
for restriction than that neatness and tidi-
ness in a city as we'll as in the home have
a distinct pecuniary and moral value, of
the benefits of which no class ought to rob
the other. The poster tax would further
more furnish a very respectable revenue if
it were properly collected. The billboard
nuisance is so common to all parts of town
that a good round sum could be raised
without hurting any and with decided
Improvement In the appearance Of things.
