National Guard Bill.

Mr.. strickland, in the House, has
nut in an amended copy OF the oili
presented two years ago to compel the
organization OF the state militia 10
conform TO the regulations OF the
United States army. This bill was de-
feated in the Sixteenth General AS
sembly on the plea that 1t was pre-
geuted for the purpose Of legislating
out OF office certain OF the officers oil
the guard, and the plea gained
strength as 1t was found the national
army is not now organized ON the
brigade formation" OF which army
men speak. Had the proposed law been
enacted. It was stated. the office oi
brigadier general would have been
abolished. MIR. Strickland has avoided
this objection by providing that all
present officers OF the guard shall hold
their offices for two years, or until
January OF 1910.
