militia can be made a federal force.
These claims are baseless in fact. 1t
is impossible for the national gov
ernment, by passing militia pay
bill, to bribe away from the states
a jurisdiction given to the states b.
the federal constitution.
Such bribery of jurisdiction is just
as impossible as it is impossible foi
the congress of the United States to
make an appropriation of $5,000,000,
to the state of Kantucky for good
roads provided the state of Kentucky
send to the senate of the United
States as its representatives, John
Jones and James Smith. There is =
distinct effort to confuse the pub
lie and make them believe the mill
tia can be made national force. This
is a preposterous effort to willfull,
fool the American psople.
My condemnation of the militia AZ
a national dependence is condemna-
ton of the system and not of the per
sonnel. The rank and file of the
militia for the most parts made up
of fine, patriotic men who wish to
prepare themselves to serve the ma
ton and are in the militia because
it is the only present existing mill
tary land force in the United States
outside of the regular army.
Most of the persistent and perni
cious opposition TO the creation of a
real national force of citizen sol
diers for the defense of the nation
comes from persons purporting to
represent the rank and file of the
militia. | doubt whether they do
represent the rank and file of the
militia.
Il notice that most of these OPP
posing individuals are persons hav-
ing a selfish interest by reason of
their employment in life, in seeing
to it that the militia is made the only
recipient of support rendered by the
national government to citizen sol
diers. Their opposition is to be in.
terpreted in light of this fact.
Nearly every disaster of the Rev.
olutionary war and the war of 1872
was largely due to the dependence
upon the militia system. George
Washington's main dependence in the
revolutionary war was upon the con
tinental army, a force separate from
the militia and absolutely under the
control of the national government.
If a man is honest minded he
must accept the logical consequences
of his views. If he thinks the army
of the United States should be split
up in to 4S parts, each part entirely
governed by one of the separate
states, also he must believe that the
navy Of the United States should be
divided into 48 parts, each separate
part under the control of a separate

county. 1t is also alleged that the
purpose Of the bill is to provide roads
for touring.
Before a dollar is expended of the
joint federal and state money. the
secretary Of agriculture and a state
highway department must agree on
the roads which shall receive atten-
ton. Hence, it is set forth, this
double check on the money means a
minimum Of extravaganza and Of
waste.
Any well travelled road serves the
double purpose Of getting the pro-
ducts of the farm to market and the
transportation Of commodities and
the carrying Of mail to the man in
the country.
Good roads advocates are hopeful
that the house bill will be repo rted
favorably by the senate committee,
