.LABOR'S HOSTILITY
TO STATE MILITIA
PRESENT STATE OF AFFAIRS
CREATES PESsIMlSTlc FEEL
ING AMONG ARMY OFFICERS.

Washington, Nov. 15-The hostile
attitude of the labor unions towards
the organized militia has created a
very pessimistlc feeling among Off
GERS of the army and the national
guard, which is reflected strongly in
the annual report of Colonel Z. NJ.
Weaver, chief of the division Of Mill
tia, to the chief of staff.
The officers report says it is al
most hopeless to expect any relief
from the present conditions by the
enactment of state laws or through
any national law that would restrain
the unions from their unfriendly at
titude.
The preachings of the patriotism
are of no effect, even where it is
shown that the sole purpose of the
militia is the maintenance of law and
order, and, in Colonel Weaver's opin-
ion, the only real practical solution
of the problem lies in the creation by
the other states of a state constabu-
larry on the lines of the highly train
ed and disciplined constabulary OF
Pennsylvania to supplement the -
feet of the local police or constab-
ulary in the repression Of disorder.
II is believed the labor unions would
then come to look upon the militia
as a force for national defense rather
than as a state police, and in course
of time their opposition would dis
appear.
Perhaps, for the reason indicated,
Colonel Weaver suggests the increase
in the strength Of the national guard
was only trifling during the past
year. According to the latest returns
this strength was 9,155 officers and
10, sos men, which was a net increase
of only 734 over the preceding year.
It is a curious fact that the little
territory of Hawaii shows the great
est percentage Of militiamen to pop
ulation. the number being us per
900, while Nevada has not single
militiaman in the organized ranks.
And the average of the whole coun-
try is very low, being only N milu-
tiamen to every 1000 population.
Forecasting a diminution in the
functions of the present militia, the
report makes a strong plea for the
creation of an efficient national re-
serve of about 100000 men, practi-
callv on the lines of the army OF
Switzerland. which would permit OF
the retention of the services OF the
citizen soldiery under federal con-
troll without demanding of the oricers
and men more time from their civil
ian employments than is now requir-
ed for instruction in the best state
militia organizations.
This would be a part OF the regu-
lar army. and militia, the first line OF
defense in case of war.

ADOPT BASIS FOR
OKLAHOMA OIL
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT ADOPTS
HIGHEST BASIS FOR ROYALTY
-42c PER BARREL.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The interior
department today announced that
from now until there is further
change in the market the collection
of royalty on oil from the indian
lands in Oklahoma will be on a basis
of 42c per barrel. This is the high
est price oil in Oklahoma has reach
ed in several years. The activities
of the department of the interior and
the department of justice in investi-
eating the possible existence Of
combine among pipe line owners in
the new state is given by Secretary
Ballinger as the reason for the high
price.
Two years ago the price went down
to Soc. At that time only three pipe
lines We're operating. Since then a
fourth pipe line has been completed
to the gulf. In connection with the
announcement of the increase in the
royalty payments the interior depart
ment gave out the following:
THE oil situation in Oklahoma has
been somewhat difficult to deal with.
In May, 1908, congress granted citi-
zenship to approximately seven
tenths of the total population of the
five civilized tribes. These Indians
thus granted citizenship are in full
control of their own oil lands and
may make such leases as they
choose. Immediately adjoining their
lands lie those of the restricted In
dians, whose leases are under the
control and regulation of the inter-
ior department. Thus, the depart
ment can control only the lands OF
80 per cent of the Indians and is not
in a position to suspend operations
in order to secure an advance in
prices, A suspension would simply
mean that the wells on the lands OF
the unrestricted Indians would con-
tinue to operate, draining not only
the oil from those areas, but also
from the land of the restricted In
dians adjoining. The department OF
the interior regards the advance in
price to 42c as decidedly encourag-
ing and of large benefit to the re-
stricted Indians as well as to the
general prosperity of the country"
