MICHIGAN MILITARY ACT.
Considered a Model and Other States
Will Copy IL,

Other states are displaying a great
interest in the new act relative to the
organization of the state militia. Re-
quests have come from many states
for copies of the act, almost all of
them containing words of praise for
the scheme of organization outlined in
the act.
1t Is generally conceded that Mich
igan has led in the way i'm abolshing
unnecessary staff officers and reducing
the department force to the minimum
consistent with good service The
law places the state militia on practi-
cally the same basis as the regular
army, an organization which many
states have been disposed To- adopt but
plans have never been carried out be-
cause politics interfered.
