GUARDS Get PAY
Senate Unanimously Passes
Barr Appropriation Bill.
The Money To Be Available in
Short Time Now.

Each enlisted man and non-com-
missioned officer in the Kansas Ma
tionaI Guard who performed duty on
the Mexican border will get an addi-
tionaI so cents day for each day ne
was on duty
Without a single vote against 1t,
the bill appropriating S11Z,sSl.SS 10
the guard to make up the dlHerence
between the SO cents a day paid by
the federal government and the S1.OO
a day provided by statute in Kansas
was passed by the senate The same
bill was passed by the house Wednes-
day. With the signature of the gov
ernor and its publication the money
will be available to the guardsmen.
This is the measure introduced by
Senator Barr of Bourbon, at the re-
quest of national guard officers, who
get nothing in the general distribu-
ton. 1t was an unpopular measure
when he introduced it and was fought
desperately in committee of the whole.
Barr pounded away and got it thru
with the recomm endation that it be
passed. Then he got the guardsmen
busy and when the roll was called in
the senate today thirty senators voted
for it Not one voted against it. Sem
ator IIilkey of Usage asked to be ex-
cused from voting and his request was
granted.
1Hc ways anu liiSd4lS committee
fought the measure when it was up
previously-some of the members
but they were for it today. Senator
Paulen declared today on the floor
that while he opposed the measure
previously it was due to a misunder-
standing and that he gladly voted for
it on roll call. Other members ex-
pressed similar sentiments. Senator
Barr magma nimously accepted all the
apologies and said the committee had
merely been misinformed.
Perhaps a short talk made by SEN
ator Getty of Wyandotte, helped to
put the bill over. He called attention
to the Associated Press dispatches in
daily papers telling of the discovery by
government authorities of a plot be-
tween Germany and Mexico.
These men went to the front when
