WILL TAKE EIGHT
/ YEARS TO PUT
| MILITIA IN SHAPE

Washington, Dec. 19.-The National
Guard modified on the Mexican Dor.
der requires nearly eight years of in
tensive training to prepare it to meet
trained troops, Major General Hugh
L. Scott, chief OF staff Of the army, de-
clared today in continuing to urge a
universal military service system be-
fore the senate military committee.
Fortunately the Mexicans were un-
trained troops" he added, land our
purpose to protect the border was &C.
complished by the mere presence Of
our men without firing shot. We
never contemplated sending the Ma.
tional Guard over the border until
they were trained, although we sat up
until two or three O'Clock every morn
ing at the war department expecting
a message saying the fight was on.
I'VE feel that the National Guard
would have destroyed themselves in
marching had they been sent through
that hard country"

Legislation for Education
Only two states in the union spend
more per capita for education than
North Dakota. Anything which re-
firing Superintendent Of Public In
struction E. J. Taylor may recommend
in this connection is, therefore, of i'm
portance. Under the head of recon-
mendations for legislation, Mr.. Tay-
l0r lists in order:
An amendment to Section 81 and
$50 of the state constitution which
would make it possible to select the
county and state superintendent for
terms or four or more years.
liberal state aid to consolidated
schools located in rural districts.
Minimum Eight Months Term
A minimum term of eight months
in any public school in the state.
Authorization Of the appointment by
school boards of truant officers who
may legally compel attendance at
school throughout the term of all pu-,
pills of school age 49,.
AppOrtiOnncnt On Attendance
Amendment of constitution to allow
apportionment of state funds to be
made on basis OF school attendance,
rather than on number of pupils of
school age in district, irrespective Of
attendance.
Making it the duty of county boards
OF health to inspect school houses and
buildings, with power to condemn the
same; to require repairs, or, II ncccs-

Legislative Expense.
The auditor also calls attention OF
the Legislature. to the necessity for fix.

for budget purposes.
Other departments have made rec.

The Bliss Of Ignorance.

What the present administration
lacks in knowledge Of government SER
vice it makes up in egotism. In the
opening paragraph of his latest annual
report, the first assistant postmaster
general says: 1.-THE plans for improv-
ing, developing, and extending the post
office service laid down at the outset Of
this administration have been fol>
lowed consistently to the present time"
Mr. Roper became first assistant
postmaster general without a single
days experience in the postal service

year. Mr.. Roper's own bureau spends
practically one-half of this amount and
has control over nearly $4,000 post Of
fees. Without days experience Mr..
Roper says that "at the outset of his
administration" he made plans for i'm

go on employing supervisory officials
who have worked up in the service,
when they could just as we'll employ a
man like Roper who, without a days
experience, could lay out plans for i'm
provement and development. But, on
the other hand, perhaps large business
enterprises have observed the results
of consistently following plans thus
laid out and prefer their own policy
Of employing men of experience rather

out the Democratic tariff law. Every

you are subscribing to Mr.. Under

of the hole. You. with millions Of 9TH
ers, have been made underwriters to
the failure of the Underwood tariff law
as a revenue producer.
| You were not asked to do that when
a Republican tariff law was on the
statute books. You didn't feel the tax
which was collected at the ports of the

pockets of the consumer by the advance
in the cost Of living is now proved to
be an utter fallacy. That argument
has not even Democratic backing to-
day. The old idea that the tariff was
added to the price of goods is exploded.
The cost of living was higher just
prior to the war, under Democratic
near free-trade than it was the year
before under the Republican law. The
foreigner or importer pocketed the diff

Republican Tariffs Produced Revenu

In addressing the Senate on the re-
peal Of the free sugar clause, Senator
Underwood, author Of the present tariff
law. said: where your (the Republi-
CAM tariff wall was built so high that
you prohibited importations by it,
there was no revenue; and when we
said we proposed to have a competitive
tariff, we declared in favor of lower
ing that wall to a point where reason
able importations could come over and
the government of the United States
could have an opportunity to collect its
revenue at the custom house a
competitive tariff means a tariff that
will collect revenue"
There was never any fault to find
under the Dingley and Payne tariff
laws respecting lack Of revenues. Du-
ties were laid not on prohibitory bas-
is. but on a protective basis. and they
were so adjusted that while they pro-
tected American industries and Ameri-
can labor, they likewise provided ample
revenues. There was never any neces-
sity, except during the Spanish War. to
fall back on stamp taxation. Our
revenues were collected at the ports of
tho country and paid by the foreigners.
Underwood's competitive tariff"
brought some revenue. but 1t fell short
Of doing its share toward the upkeep
Of tho government. even II economy
had been practiced. With a Demo-
cratic administration engaged in the
widest sort Of extravagances the law
was wholly incapable Of maintaining a
balance. Hence. the report Of the ilrst
gun in the European struggle was the
signal to enact a war tax at home
