1t is announced that President Will
son will favor the passage at the fore.
coming session of congress of bill in
creasing the compensation of the en-.
listed members of the various state
military organizations to $50 year and
officers increased according to rank. 1t
Is estimated that this measure would
result in doubling the strength of the
National Guard, with the cost starting
at about So. 600, 900 year and ultimate
$50, 900, 900. In this connection it may
not be amiss to state that Congressman
Fordney has already taken steps to
ascertain the sentiment of various mem
bers of the House regarding an appro-
priation for the maintenance of state
armories, believing that such aid would
greatly lessen the financial burden
which now often falls on the individual
members of the Guard and as a result
keeps the membership very low. Gen.
Kirk of the Michigan National Guard
Is enthusiastically in favor of both
plans.
