believe that the national guard can
ever be made an effective force in any
real contest which this nation might
have with any Others great power. Un-
der the constitution the appointment
of the officers and training is left en-
tirely to the state and with very few
exceptions idaho of course being one)
these matters are controlled entirely BY
politics. ! have known in a number of
states the national guard to be an is
sue in state politics and its disband-
onment a proposition upon which the
people were called in a political way
practically to pass. 50 long as that is
true, and it must always be true so
long as the constitution remains UNI
amended, we will have these organi-
cations in effect practically controlled
by politics and they can never be sol
diers in any true sense of the term
while that is true. a Napoleon could
not effect anything like an efficient
fighting force Under like circumstances.
am not rejecting upon the personnel
Of the national guard but I maintain
that under our constitution and the
laws IL is impossible ever to make
them anything except state force Of
local Importance as the trainers OF the
constitution intended they should be.
Vast Expenditure Not Warranted.
"A number OF years ago when the
Dick law was passed enlarging and
federalizing the national guard to a
certain extent It was estimated that 1t
would cost two and a half million dol
lars a year. It has already run up to
where it is about eight million dollars
a year. In view of the experience of
the past It will cost hundred million
dollars a year. Now. candidly, can I
be asked, in view of the past and OF
the embarrassments owing to the con-
stitution and the laws thrown around
the national guard, to vote for any
such expenditure? Ought you not to be
satisfied with the law as it is and to
feel gratified that in view OF the re-
ports from the different states OF the
union that ~ law is not being threat
ened with repeal2
There is another reason why IL is
impossible for me to support this law
The national guard at the present time
Is the police force OF the state. It is
called out for the purpose of Suppress
ing riots. etc. So long as that is true
it will retard and embarrass enlist

NATIONAL GUARD
OF LITTLE Use TO
NATION At LARGE
Senator Borah, in Letter to
Adjutant General, Elk
plains Opposition to Plan
in Army Bill.

To enlarge the powers Of the nation
al guard under existing conditions
would be dangerous, not only because
OF the abuse OF the present power and
menace to Institutions of the country
but because OF the mixing of politics in
its affairs That is the opinion of Unit
cd States Senator William K. Borah of
Idaho. In a communication to Adult
ant General P. H. Grow Of the Second
infantry, Idaho National Guard, he
places himself squarely on record as
opposed to going to the vast expense
OF enlargipg the guard with its pre-
sent limited powers. Its present cost
OF maintenance is $S,o0O,0o0 and it is
proposed to increase this to about $40,-
100000 or $50,000,0O0. This vast ex-
pense is not warranted, in the opinion
Of Senator Borah. TO show the abuse
OF the guards police power he cites the
famous West Virginia case Figures
are given to show that the national
guard OF this country has not record
for attendance to drills, etc. that is
flattering. No reflection is cast on the
personnel of the guard.
Adjutant General Grow wired Sen
ator Borah some time ago as follows:
1.-THE national guard, one thousand
citizen soldiers, absolutely opposes
senate volunteer army scheme. Desire
you support national guard legislation.
People of our state are with u.s.
In reply to this telegram, especially
the latter part Senator Borah forward

has just reached here:

Third Annual College Meet
VIII Be Held March 3
of Next Year.

The ihId annual indoor NEE, OF the

probably be determ ned Dy the e1ecu-
tive committee az its meeting in phile-

1916 meet encourages the as ociation 20
believe that these games will develop
into an athletic event Of importance
and o; Rress benefit to snort. Z -e-
alizcs fully, however, that there is room
for improvements ard Is already plan
ming 20 bring them about.
At next Years meeting 10 il intended
70 install q large electrical scorcboard.
which will be operated from the finish
line and upon which will be flashed the
starters in each event, the numbers OF
the winners. times and other informa-
ton about the progress Of the games.
With this 10 supplement the efforts of
the announcers, the spectators and the
press viii be more promptly and ac-
eurately informed Of what is going for
ward.
Changes IN the programme will be
considered and also the matter of hold
ing trials In the afternoon 70 reduce
the number OF men 20 compete in the
evening.
There have been suggestions from
many interested spoTtsmen outside the
association that the interest OF the
spectators would be increased ii an in
door championship we're determined at
these games and points scored 90 that
end. That was considered when the
meeting was first discussed ard the

that college track athletes preparing
for important contests in May should
not be brought 10 their best form in

would train strenuously and others
would stay out entirely. The games
were designed 70 increase the number
Of men who train a little In the winter
rather than TO intensity the training of
the men who were already working.
without doubt Il would be more in
teresting II scores were emphasized
and II were possible 70 determine who
won the meet. but the success Of the
Pennsylvania relay carnival would
seem 10 show that spectators enjoy
good races even though no track cham
pionship Is involved and each race IL
considered by Itself.
II must be remembered that the eX-
ecutive committee of the |. c. 4. A. a.
A. has no discretion with regard 70 the
conduct Of these games. Il cannot. as
the promoters Of most track meets do,
arrange special events, match contest

No change can be made in the pro
ersmme except after amendment 20 the
constitution or bylaws. such amend
ments are liable 10 represent a COM
promise Of conflicting views of the col
leges. l. takes time 20 effect them.
Consequently the indoor games must
develop slowly. But the association be
lieves that they will develop success
fully both from tho viewpoint OF the
spectator and Of tho athletes.
