State Is Disturbed-- Fogie
 Pay" Is Something NoDel

called into active service to enforce the laws of the State the commission ed officers shall receive half the pay that officers of like rank In the Unit ed States army are entitled to receive under the law, and non n-commissioned officers and privates are to be paid double the amount that is paid cor responding men In the regular army.
 The derivation of "Fogie Pay" has its place right in this connection. There is an act of Congress which provides that when officers of the rank beneath that of Brigadier General have been In the service for i've years they are entitled to receive an extra pay of ten per centum of the pay which they had been receiving up to that time. If. therefore. the United States army oficer Is entitled under this law to get the ten per centum. of fcers of the Alabama National Guard are pushing the inquiry at this time, Why can't we draw ten per centr'
 Two phases of the question are up to the Attorney General. He may an- swer whether the "Frogie" claims of the militia officers are to be measured by taking 10 per cent of a total an- nual remuneration or by taking that percentage of what was actually re- ceived per annum by the officers during the five years that they have been in the National Guard
 It is said that there are several offi- cers making the claims and they are said to be pushing them strong.
 The total cost of the soldiers in the strike district cannot yet be ascerain- ed as the pay-rolls are not complete.

 The present indications are that Governor Conner will return to his office in Montgomery about Thursday The strike is settled and there seems to be little need for his presence in the Birmingham district
 The High School Commission Is due to ga to Hefiln Wednesday to look Into the proposition of having a Cle- burne county high school located al that point. It is probable that all three members of the Commission will make the trip, including the Governor, the State Superintendent of Education Hon. Harry c. Gunnels, and State Au- ditor w. W. Brandon.
 Presuming that the Governor will have finished Wednesday night with the meeting at Hefiin, 1t is possible that he will be back at the Capitol Thursday.
 There are a number of things to engage his attention immediately up- on his arrival here. Important reports or State Examiners of Public Account Is are awaiting his consideration. That he win release them for publIca ton Is sure as such procedure is manda- tory under the Code. Just when he VIII do so Is speculative.
 One of the more important of State documents is said to be the report on tho accounts of the Alabama National Guard Tor a few years past
 There are also s number of appll- eants for parole pardon which will re- eeive the attention of the Governor. With the burdensome thing of strike on his hands. the Governor will at- tend to acores of minor matters that have been more or less delayed in thair solution by his enforced absence from the Capitol.
