TACOMA IS SOLID
IN FINANCIAL Way

Tacoma's finances are solid as
a rock. Mayor Fawcett received
a letter today from the Joseph e.
Thomas company, bond brokers'.
Seattle, in which the bond COM
pany declared that this city's 6
per cent bonds were scarcely
available at any price, so sound
are the city's finances.
The company also advised May
or Fawcett that the lumber busi-
ness In the Northwest shows good
indications of picking up at Office,
and that Tacoma should benefit
by this renewed industry more
than any other Puget Sound city

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. &c.
Only one man In 20 has learned
to shoot and shoot straight by
service In the militia OF the Unit
ed States.
Outside the militia, very few
men are taught to handle a gun.
The day OF the skilled frontier
rifleman is past; we have no
minute men," nowadays, and
loaded muskets do not hang ready
for use over the fireplace In mod
ern five-room flats.
Moreover, no state maintains
all the militia organizations even
at the prescribed peace strength.
In many cases the deficiency is
SO great that the companies would
be of no military value at all to
the United States government.
These conclusions are inevita-
bly, drawn from the report OF
Brig. Gen. A. L. Mills, chief of
the division of militia affairs.
According to the census, the
number of males of militia age,
that is, between IS and 45 years,
was 20.548,347 men in 1910. But
discarding the unfit, and basing
the number on those reported
available for military duty by the
adjutants general of the several
states, the number of men is 49,
647,347. The total strength of
the organized militia, according
to Gen. Mills, is 125,47S officers
and men. This amounts to only
one In 1875, or eight-tenths of one
per cent, trained to arms!
These figures cast rather
doubtful light upon President
Wilson's statement that the reli-
ance of the United States is on a
"citizenry trained in the use of
arms"
The organized militia is divid-
ed into ~ divisional districts. the
theory being that each district
will supply enough militia, prop
erly proportioned in the various
arms of the service to form a
complete tactical division.
AT the present time, only ONE
division of the IL is practically
complete. This the Sixth division
New York; One more, the Sew
enth division (Pennsylvania) lis
believed to be assured of a cor
rect organization in the near flu
ture." All the others are incom-
plete. topheavy with infantry as
compared with auxiliary troops,
lacking transport, under author
ICED strength, and generally dis
organized.
An infantry company in war is
composed of $50 men, a cavalry
troop of 100 men, an artillery
battery of Ill men. The peace
strength" however, is much less
than these figures. The war de-
partment has prescribed mini
mum strength for infantry COM
panies in time of peace of 65
men; for cavalry troops, SIS men;
and for field artillery batteries,
1873 men. This means that in
time of war these Skeleton" COM
panies, troops and batteries would
have to be filled up with recruits
green men. This is bad
enough. But an examination or
the annual returns rendered by
the adjutants general of the sew
eral states reveals that even this
minimum strength is not

Mayor Fawcett advised the

The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-09-23
The little lie-swearer who writes

The little lie-sWearer who writes
the filth for The Times intimates
that Tom Campbell had grated in
the ticket printing. We would
not notice this little falsehood
were it not for the fact that there
may be some who would believe
him. He refers to ticket print
ing several years ago and the first
Dortch ballot ever printed in
Cooke county. Up to that time
the tickets had been printed in
Nashville and Knoxville and the
city printers had been getting
fancy prices for the work. Tom
Campbell was asked to bid on the
work; his bid was less than that of
Bean, Warters G. Co., of Knoxville,
and he was given the work, but
there was no fixing done, as
was the case when The Times got
its contract through Baby Oscar.
In this case a job worth about
three hundred dollars cost the
state of Tennessee six hundred,
and The Times gang had rake
off Of two hundred dollars
after paying Bruce Susong four
hundred dollars to print the job.
lnTom Campbell's case the amount
was fifty-six dollars and he
saved money for the county then.
