JUSTICE TO NATIONAL GUARD

A pay bill on a graduated scale will
be passed by congress which will give
private soldiers approximately sIs a
year each for attending drills. with
pay for officers in proportion to then
grade
In times OF peace the Guard will re
main under the control of the COVER
nors OF the several states. but in time
of war or in the event OF a national
need the president will have author
ity to order out the troops of any
state for service without the formal
ity of calling Cor volunteers.
The development of the National
Guard is probably the most practical
and effective. and yet the least expen-
sive. method that could lie devised for
supplying an army of adequate size
and efficiency for defensive purpos-
Is. and the federaliziug of the state
troops viii practically eliminate any
hostility that may have been enter
tanned toward them in certain quar-
tiers heretofore.
The National Guard of this state is
made up of young men of a high or
der Of intelligence. whose Patriotism
has heen tried and found true. and if
the time ever comes when the nation
needs their services the president may
rest assured that the patriotism of this
state viii be second to none.
