Organization Urged
4. The military department OF the
state invites and urges communities
and counties that have military popu-
lation large enough to organize and
maintain a military unit. and that
can furnish proper armory facilities,
to take up with them the subject of
organization and permanent mainte-
nance of any unorganized unit al
lotted to this state by the national
government.
These organizations are not only
a military asset to the community,
state and nation in case of crisis, but
have an element of commercial inter
est. In that the federal government
remunerates the officers and men for
their armory drills and for the 10
days time spent in annual training
in the field. In an infantry rifle com
pany the average possible income can
be S6,364.02 per annum: battery
of field artillery $20.750.35; a troop
of cavalry $S,913.15; other units are
paid in proportion to their authorized
strength and the value of military
equipment issued by the federal gov
eminent.
All units are furnished complete
military equipment exactly like that
issued to the regular troops OF the
United States army, including cloth
ing of all kinds, arms and other
equipment.
