AN \. (. A PROTEST <,
 AS ID ELECTIONS
It Is Believed That Staff Officers
 Should Not Be Allowed to Vote

Some of the local officers of the Ma tional Guard have received complaints from brother officers regarding the recent elections for majors. According to reports. orders were given authoriz- ing staff officers in the x. q. A to vote for the election of ma jors for the sec ond and third battalions. The mem bers of the Line Officers association feel that this is an imposition in that while the line officers are elected. the staff officers are appointed from civil life. and at the expiration of their term of office are returned to civil life. whereas the line officers continue on in service
 Quoting from one of the protests filed, a copy of which has been re- ceived by the Mesa officers. T de- sire tO submit this. my protest against the counting. consideration. ar recog- nitioT whatsoever of the staff officers votes or ballots. Said protest is based on Title. No. 46. entitled Military Code of Arizona L. &. 1901. Article 2. par 3136. subdivision co. which defines the manner of the election of majors and which in part reads as follows:
 ot the regiment, one colonel. one lieutenant colonel and three majors. each to be elected by a ma ajority vote of the line officers of the regiment Also on paragraph 3137 Isection No. el, of the aforesaid title. which de- fines staff officers All staff officers. unless herein otherwise provided shall be appointed by the officers upon whose staffs they serve. approved and commissioned by the commander in- chief. and their commission shall ex- pire as soon as the successor of such appointing officer is commissioned and qualified
 The protest continues. giving other reasons as to why staff officers should not Re allowed to vote. The differ ence betWeen- the National Guard staff officers. and the staff officers of the regular army is that while in the N. c. A. the officers are appointed from civil :life. in the regulars the regi- mental staff officers are all appointed from the line. and as soon as they have served their time on the staff they are returned to the line. where they serve two years more before they can be returned to the staff
 There is much feeling about the matter. and undoubtedly there should be something done. as the line of- ficers get their rank through merit. while the regimental and battalion commanders who are elected bv the line officers appoint the staff officers: these same staff officers are liable to be reduced to civil life at any time ard yet. under the present ruling. are allowed to vote. thereby making it impossible for the line officers to have the controlling vote in the matter of the heads Of the regiments.
