MONEY FOR THE ,,,1.,rt.

An attempt will BIO made ut tho

pass militia pay bill 1t provides
for an annual payment of $4,000, 600

military strength OF tho Government
The bill was drawn after conferences
between the War Department and
representatives of the National Guard.
II provides that when In actual service
the officers and men OF tho National
Guard shall receive The same pay as
the officers and men OF tho Regular
Army; actual SERVICE" meaning the

"a percentage of army pay on the
principle of equal pay for equal work. ;,
An effort was made at the last scs-
SION OF Congress to secure the passage
of similar bill; but 1t failed at that
time. we believe, because the friends
OF the Regular establishment were not
exactly fair In their treatment OF n
measure which had received their APP
proval. but the passage of which at
that time would have interfered some

That is a severe indictment of the
pension system Of the Government.

this case. The militia bill does not
carry any pensions with It: it only pro
