This is the first time since 1891 that

The raft offers Il great resistance to the

Of State Must Conform
to the Regular Army.
Have Until Jan. q to Complete
Necessary Changes.
Failure to So Do Will Bar from
National Appropriation.

Washington, June 11.-Acting Sec. Of
War Robert Shaw Oliver has addressed
an identical letter to the governors OF
the states and territories having mill
tary organizations, calling their atten-
ton to the fact that on Jan. Fl next
year, under the terms Of the Dick mi
litia act, the militia organization must
conform to that Of the regular and vol
Unteer armies Of the United States
Therefore Gen. Oliver suggests that il
is the duty Of the governors to take the
necessary steps to secure such con
formity in organization by the date
named. Says Gen. Oliver:
Failure to meet this statutory re-
quirement will result in debarring a
state from the use of the allotment OF
tn" annual appropriation of $1,000, 00C
for the support Of the militia"
Attention is called to the fact that the
third section Of the act imposes the
condition that the number Of its rcgu-
lHrly enlisted organized and uniformed
active militia shall be at least 100 men
for each senator and representative of
the staten
With view to placing upon the stat
ute books of the state an organic mil
itary law providing the necessary
measure Of conformity to the organi-
cation in force in the regular army
General Oliver suggests that the gov
crnOrs provision for an enactment by
the legislatures In brief as follows:
The definition OF the duties Of adiu-
tant general and his assistants and the
quartcrmaster general and his assist
ants as laid down in Article !, War De-
partment Circular, oct. 8, 1903. PrOvi-
sion for the necessary officers and for
n staff made up of adjutant generals,
inspector generals judge advocate gem
erals, quartermaSterS, subsistence,
medical, hospital corps. engineers, ord
nance am signal corps The guard
must be divided into divisions, hri-
gadcs. regiments, etc. to conform to
the regular army organizations, reserv-
ing 10 the governor the power of re-
organization to increase the efficiency
and to make the companies and num-
Der of officers assigned to organizations
correspond to the regular army.

GOV. HUGHES vETOES BILL
Compelling Flat Rate of Two Cents
Per Mile In New York.

Albany, N. ~, June 11-Governor
Hughes today vetoed the bill which
would have compelled Hat passenger
rate of two cents Il mile on every rail-
road system in tn. state more than $50
miles long.
In his veto message the Governor
says that paSsag" of the bill was not
preceded by legislative investigation or
suitable inquiry under the authority Of
the state Nor is the fixing Of this rate
pr"diCatcd on reports or statistics
officially collated which would permit
fair concI1Ision as to the justice Of
its operation with reference to the rail-
reeds within its purview
The governor says also In part:
Injustice on the part of the railroad
corporations toward the public does no.
justify injustice on the part of the state
toward the railroad corporations. The ac-
ton of the government should be fair ana
impartial and upon this every citizen,
whatever his interest. is entitled to insist.
We shall make matters no better but
worse II to cure one wrong we establish
another. The fact that those in control
OF railroad corporations have been guilty
Of grossly improper fnaECiering and of
Illegal and injurious dsCrimina tons In
charges points clearly to the necessity OF
effective state action. but does not re-
quire or warrant arbitrary reprisals. In
dealing with these questions, democracy
must be demonstrated in its capacity to
act rpon dcliheration and to deal justly.
1T Is of great Importance not only that
railroad corporations should be compelled
to respect their public obligations. hut
also that they should be permitted to OPP
crate under conditions which will give q
fair return for their service. Upon this
depends not simply the security of invest.
ors. but the security of their employees
and the protection of every form of in
dustry and commerce through the main
tenance and extension Of necessary trans
rortation facilities. Nothing could be
more opposed to the interests OF the COM
munity as n whole than 70 cripple tn
transportation corporations by arbitrary
reduction OF earnings. Large and pros
porous suburban communities have been
built up through the offer of commuta-
ton rates much less than the proposed
maximum Upon the maintainance OF
these rates many thousands of our citi-
zens rely. Considerable differences exist
between the railroad corporations with
respect to the territory they serve and
the cost Of service. and 1t is manifest that
what would be fair for one might be far
from fair for another"
The governor refers to the public SER
vice commissions provided for in the law
recently enacted and adds that ''provis-
ion is made for inquiry !nto matters OF
freight rates and passenger fares and for
the fixing of such rates as should be
found just and reasonable. If passen-
ger rate of two cents mile is Just and
reasonable. II can be fixed. If II is not
lust and reasonable 1t should not be. II
will be said that this requires time and
investigation. but it will not require any
longer time or any more protracted inves-
tigation than are necessary to reach 4
right result"
