good quality would fill the need. Ac-
cording to the bulls, Australia and the
United States were to be looked upon
In that case as practically the sole

against the item for National Guard pay

Thursday. is is understood TO be wrong
To suppose that this thrust of a parlia-
mentary swordsrnan is the final assas-
sination OF the guardsmans pay en-
vesope. Representative johnson contend
ed that there is no law definitely estab-
fishing pay for National Guardsmen Of
the District of Columbia When the APP
preparation bin with the twenty four
thousand-dollar item came up for discus
sion. Representative johnson asked:
Where is the original law which
makes 1t legal for the United States to
appropriate this money for the District
of Columbia"
After rustiing the pages OF law books
back and forth quite vigorously, the
friends OF the brigade had to admit that
the well known act which organized the
guard merely carried the implication that
guardsmen should be paid for camp
strike and riot duty appropriation should
be made, and the lawyers OF the guard
who believed they had sewed up q tight
article when they got through working
on the organic act bill, believed they had
covered the matter Of camp duty pay
very nicely.
For several years Congress has been
appropriating money to the National
Guard Of the District Of Columbia How.

Representative Ben johnson, II develops

attention owing to dividend announce

Consols declined q quarter or point
when the government stopped buying Tor
the sinking fund. while the trouble be-

in the foreign section. The growing OPP
