EXTRA PAY WITH MILITIA - Captain
Quincy ON. Gilmore, L. S. A retired, is on
duty with the New-Jersey National Guard. and
has the rank of brigader general in that organ
izaton. where he performs most useful service.
Lately the question came from the militia
authorities of the State as to the right of
tired officer duty with the militia TO receive
extra compensation from the State. 1t was
imagined in Washington that the question
lated to Captain Gilmore. Upon inquiry Of the
paymaster general and the judge advocate gen.
eral of the army ii was found that there was
nothing in the law which prevented a retired
officer from receiving the emolument described
But IL pointed out in the communication
from the War Department TO the State authOri-
ties that il was assumed that Congress did not
intend that a retired officer of the army who
was on military duty should receive anything
excepting his full pay and allowances paid to
him by the national government. 1t is assumed
here that had Congress contemplated that an
officer should receive extra compensation from
the State provision would be made for his ac
tive pay while he was on duty with the militia
or in any other capacity. The War Department
people believe there is abundant generosity
shown to retired officers who active duty,
and if it shall develop that any of them are re-
ceiving additional income from the State treas
uries il is likely the department will go rec
ord before Congress EeXt year In favor OF leg1S-
lation which shall prohibit that sort of thing
hereafter. 1t would not be surprising. indeed, if
it brought up the whole question or the employ
ment of retired officers, against which some of
the authorities are now expressing themselves.
