The best informed opinion inclines to
the belief that the cabinet will not consent

cation of the system whereby this govern
ment maintains an armed reserve. Congress
now appropriates- $1,000, 900 q year to the
support OF the militia organizations of the
various states. Except that the plan would
meet with considerable political opposition
it would undoubtedly be urged by the War
Department that the organization of the
militia forces in all the states should be
given into the hands of the War Depart
ment, and that Congress should furnish all
the money necessary for their support and
equipment. That would mean, in brief that
while the comm 'ssions of the militia officers
would still be issued by the various govern
ors, that the reserves would be enlisted,
equipped, drilled, manoeuvred and paid for
out OF the national treasury under the direct
supervision of regular army officers. It is
believed that $4,000, 900 year would be
sufficient to carry out this plan. The states
now contribute something less than $4,000
600 to militia funds, and in seme of the
states the militia appropriation is consider.
