DEFECTS Of GUARD
Will Be EXPLOITED

Shortcomings or the national guard
rs emphasized in the recent mobiliza-
ton will be aired in the Senate In the
forthcoming debate on the army appro-
priation bill which has recently been
increased to nearly a third Of billion
dollars, and soon will tie up for passage.
Senators who think 1t Is a mistake to
derend on the organized militia have
been watching keenly the developments
since the guard was ordered to mobilize
for border service. Many defects In the
militia organization have been brought
out.
In the first place the call for the ma
tional guard found the troops lacking
IN equipment. Nearly all organizations
have had to be recruited up. thus adding
many sreen men. Regiments have been
slew In getting to the front. and In a
time Of real danger the conditions would
have been grave.
Some OF the militia organizations
have been reluctant to respond TO the
call for service. Many individual
guardsmen have refused to take the
the new law.
One entire squadron of cavarry m
Iowa for a time refused to take the
oath, and II was only through the
energetic efforts of Adjutant General
Logan. of that State. that at last the
men were prevailed on to serve.
Such weaknesses of the guard system
will be exploited In the Senate In con-
nection with the army bill and objec-
ton made to huge outlay OF funds for
the guard in preference to a Federal
volunteer system.
When the army reorganization bill
was before the Senate. Senator Borah
led In opposing the national guard as
an organization to he preferred to the
Federal volunteers. Senator Borah is
expected 10 nave more TO say arong TINS
line when the army bill comes up, anu
II Is known he Is keeping in close touch
with the mobilization Of the national
suard forces.

Of course when we consider raw products We
must carry the subject further on into the
matter of the prices we get and the prices
we must pay for finished products We shall
conine our consideration, too, to those products
which have their origin on the farm either in
the raw state or finished and manufactured
into edible or wearable articles.
Let us take wheat. for example. We all
know that the war has put the price Of wheat
way up. Very well-this means that the
whole country: city, town and rural population
as well are paying more for their fOur-there-
fore the wheat raiser should theoretically be
getting rich on a product which it costs him
no more TO raise than formerly and for which
he gets more money.
But wait a minute-there are other things
to consider in this matter Of growing rich Off
of the war. Cotton and wool and meats and
farm machinery and sugar have gone up too
This means that while the wheat raiser is
getting more for his product he is also paying
some other agriculturist more for his product.
This cuts down somewhat the profits the
is bringing to the farmer. Then it would
seem that the best way TO keep ahead OF the
game is for the farmer to pay the farmer who
raises his necessities the Increased prices that
the war has brought about and when buying
his luxuries or those things that are not bare
