NAVAL MILITIA'S WEAKEST
POINT IS ITS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Commander Marsh in Report OF
1909 Maneuvers Gives
Recommendations.
TO HAVE TARGET PRACTICE

Commander c. G. Marsh of the
United States navy has made renort
TO the assistant secretary of the navy
on the operations of the naval militia
for the years 1908 and 1909. The re-
port Is Interesting for its information
on the naval militia of the United
States. its comment on the benefits
to come to the government from tho
development OF the naval militia and
the recommendation for improve
ment.
In summing up the results of the
1909 maneuvers on the Great Lakes.
Commander Marsh says:
1.-The enc weak point now Is i'm re-
lation to matters connected with gun
ntry-target practice. This fact has
been realized for some time, steps have
been already taken to provide each
organization with a 4-inch gun COM
pete for the training of gun pointers.
and a sub-target gun for the training
I'm small-arm practice. The ships that
are large enough to carry them will
be equipped uniformly with 4-inch
guns, the smaller vessels with smaller
guns, but uniform as to type. Target
practice by the naval militia will in
the very immediate future be conduct
ed systematically along navy lines
The lessons of the summers work
however, are too simple and too strik-
ing to be passed over. Fortunately,
the power to reap the benefits OF these
lessons is in the navy department, re-
curing no legislation, and the ex-
penditure of very little money.
These benefits can be given by
"(a) The detail of naval officers 10
the naval militia vessels. Practically
every such vessel had such an officer
for short time this summer. The re-
ports OF all the naval militia COM
manding officers are so emphatic as TO
the benefits they received from such
assistance. and are so insistent on fur
Their assistance along the same lines.
that 1t Is impossible not to feel the
necessity of granting their requests. To
begin with, then. it is recommended
that
81 A naval officer be detailed to
each naval militia vessel for the entire
period of its summer work.
"2. That, where accessible and not
torthe extent of Interfering with their
other duties, the officers in charge IF
lighthouse districts, branch hydro
graphic Offices, and recruiting stations
be directed to give all practicable as
sstance to the naval militia organiza-
tons. The photographer has already
under way school of chart work IN
the branch photographic offices.
80. The permitting of naval militia
officers in such numbers as the com
mander-in chief of the fleet may APP,
prove. and for such periods, and 81
such times as these officers can get
leave from their business, to make II
cruise on the battleships or other nav
al vessels.
a. The supplying of the best APP
paratus for training"
Commander Marsh recommended TO
the department that the 1910 man
euvers take the form of a mobilization
of the $500 members of the naval mill
tia from all over the United States on
battleships on' the Atlantic coast, but
his recommendation was not followed
this year, although 1t may be next
year.

railroads and the farmers should have

Dealers TO Blame.
1.-THE most important force for the
welfare of the nation will come when
the land owners of America are organic.
I'd, said Mr.. Yoakum. "This organ.
intion is important not only for the
benefits which will come to the farm
ers but on account of money which
will be saved by the consumers. II in
not the prices received by the farmers
which make living expenses high, but
the profits of the dealers handling the
foods between the farmer and the con.
sumer.
"rhe Florida farmer receives s2.25
for bushel of green beans, the railroad
gets 80 cents for an eight hundred mile
haul to New York and the consumer
pays $6,40 for this same bushel of
beans. There is 80 percent for the grow.
er, 5 percent for the carrier and 81 per
cent for the dealer. This is not a fair
division.
Eggs and lice
Thirty cents dozen was the aver.
age price of eggs in New York last
year while the farmers in Arkansas
and Missouri received Is cents. The
freight was two cents dozen.
"The rice farmer of Texas gets 2ia
cents a pound for the grain and the
consumer in New York pays ten cents
a pound for this rice. The freight is
y cent n pound.
- Every member of every community
is interested in aiding the farmers to
organize system OF doing business
direct from the field TO the table.
"The railroad takes $3.50 for haul
ing bale of cotton from gin to spinner,
hut the speculator must have $3.50 per
I bale. The time will come when states
will construct warehouses to aid farm
ers in marketing their cotton.
Washington Reclamation
In "A recent speech in the lower
house of congress, chairman Tawney
of the committee on appropriations. said
that II percent OF the revenues of the
government went for military expenses,
which amounted TO 430,00O,000 for
that period. This is 33 times as much
as appropriated for agricultural pur.
poses. This session the senate has pass
ed a bill providing for S,5O0,0oo to pay
for a few acres of land in Washington
to give n better view Of the capital.
This is the kind of reclamation which
Washington understands.
"Nearly all we hear from Washington
is about nilitary exploitatiobs and un-
important political controversies. There
is no word of encouragement for the
development of the country's resources
