URGES EFFICIENCY
IN STATE M|LIT|AS

That it behooves the State militia
men throughout the4eountry to main
tain high standard of efficiency and
pass all the required examinations for
of GERS and men, SO as to minimize
complaint about their receiving Federal
pay as well as compensation from the
States, Is the suggestion of Chairman
Edward c. Young, Of the National
Guard Association executive commit
tee.
In O communication IL Aaiutant =
General Sale Wednesday, Chairman
Young says;
The question of the examination of
/ officers has been brought up by one
or two other States on the same ground
that your officers bring it up.
This matter was very we'll consid-
cred before our Legislative committee
at ST Louis. We considered 1t neces-
sary, in order Ia get the bin pas sed,
that we show IL the National govern
ment. and particularly to the War De-
partment. that we do not expect pay
except for competent military service;
and that II the National government
were expected to pay large sum OF
money. they would have d moral right
to demand certain standards OF profess
sional ability.
1T must be borne in mind that fail
ure to apply for and pass such exami-
nation would not effect the officers po-
sitiou in the National Guard in any
way. Ii would simply deprive him OF
the privilege OF pay. The passing OF
the examination would be to Il certain
extent Il voluntary act and il Is be-
lievcd that oft would have suffi-
cient inducen1ent Ia prepare themselves
for this examination. ana that is one
thing which all of us no doubt have
sought to accomplish
we have many officers III this State
who object to examinations because
they say that they will have to put In
considerable time for which they re-
ceive nothing. Now, If we say To them,
Pass your examination and you can
draw pay from the National govern
ment.' they ought TO be willing to pre-
pare and pass such examination.
objection was raised III the COM
mittee that this examination might be
made SO difficult that II would be be-
You'd he officers of the National Guard,
with the limited time they have for
study. We therefore decided that the
examination should be prescribed by
the secretary of war and the national
militia board SO that we could rely
upon the national militia board To pro-
tect the rights Of eur othcers In Il rea-
sopable extent
I'VE call your attention 10 the fact
that the bill as reported BY ctr secre-
tary contained an error Wherever the
words are used IN conference with the
original report Of the committee used
the word and This gives the national
militia board coordinate power with
the secretary OF WAR To make tfig rules
and prov ide fer the examinations.
Many features of this bill were
compromises OF conflicting ideas In the
committee, and on the Who'll. | think II
is the best bill that our committee or
our convention could have agreed upon.
Some favored Il more hBerai plan.
Others more stringent one; and this
represents fair compromise between
the two"
