is the biggest building undertaking
in the state, and financed exclusive

unpacked nor in the building at the

step down and out. Remember that
this is the only charge against me
as outlined in the recall petition.

THE STATE RIFLE TEAM

One of the liveliest discussions
which occupied the attention OF the
North Dakota national guard associa'
ton at it's recent convention at James
town was that concerning the state
rife team. For the past five years
North Dakota has been represented
by a team in the rational rife match
es held at Camp Perry. Ohio. The
first year the team was composed OF
novices, and finished next to the bot
tom in the list of competitors. Each
succeeding year it has climbed a few
notches higher, and the 1911 team
succeeding in landing a place in Class
b. The team last year topped all
other teams from states which sup
port but one regiment of the organl"
zed militia. The progress that has
been made by the state rifemen has
been watched with interest, not only
by the national guardsmen of North
Dakota, but by the majority of the
citizens. "A winning team in the ma
tional shoot is a splendid advertise.
ment for the state, and helps to boost
along the fair name of North Dakota.
However it has cost thousands OF
dollars to send the state rifle team
to the national matches each year,
and in the minds of the officers OF
the state military organization there
has not been sufficient improvement
in the general efficiency of the rank
and file of soldiers such as might be
expected from the expenditure Of so
large an amount of money. 1t Is true
the competitors who make the state
team, when they return to their home
stations, are qualified to act in the
capScity Of instructors in their own
companies; but there is q feeling
among many of the officers that there
is too little value received in this
line in proportion to monies expended.
Last year in an effort to change
conditions an order was issued i'm
posing a handicap of 20 per cent upon
all competitors for the 1911 team who
had previously participated in the
matches at Camp Perry. 1t was
thought that this could enable more
new men to secure the benefit of the
training Of the trip. As it was seven
veteran shots we're able to qualify for
the team In spite Of the handicap.
It was the idea Of some Of the OH
GERS that soldier should be allowed
to be I member on the state rifle
team but once. This would in their
sstimation give All the members Of
tie regiment an opportunity to par
ficipate In the big shoot some time or
