Mr.. Funk sought to have the Guard
officials at the hearing to justify the
expenditure Of $50 for the main
tenance of the local citizen soldiers,
when he asked Col. hewitt: What. in
your judgment, Is the service that the
militia reEders to the taxpayers of the
District for the expenditure of this
amount of money. What is the justi-
fication for the militia at all?"
"1n the first place." replied Col.
hewitt, 1.-The National Guard is that
par Of the national defense scheme
designated as first-line troops and for
that reason only a small standing
army is maintained. The Organized
Militia of the District of Columbia Is
the District citizens contribution to
the national defense. That is to say,
the Federal Government saves the
money that would be paid for main
tenance Of a large standing army by
the maintenance of the National
Guard. That Is the Federal end of It..
On the District end we are available
for any District duty which may be
required. For instance, when the Ku
Klux KIan held it's parade here, the
members of our organization were
mobilized and maintained at the ar
mory at the request of the Commits
siOner in charge of the Police Depart
ment. That was merely done in case
anything happened. They were
not needed: were dismissed, but they
were available"

very fine showing, and we have let
ters from the commanding general,
Gen. Malone, and also from Gen.
Alexander, who say these men were
incorporated in organizations that
were going over the top within "a
hours after they were received. II
they had not had this preliminary
training. they could not have done
that"
When questioned as to the number of
Government employees who were mem
bers Of the District National Guard,
Col. hewitt said that from one-third
to One-half Of the outfit were Govern
ment employees, but added:
"There are some things that rather
discourage men in the departments
from Joining. For example, we have
a number of men in one company, or
in two companies, who are employees
of st. Elizabeth's Hospital. Those
men cannot 60 to camp at the same
time. On one pretext or another, some
of these men will lose their positions
before they are called to camp. OF
course, that is not because of their
membership in the National Guard,
but because of some neglect of duty,
according to the allegation. OF course,
we cannot do anything to disprove
that. If a clerk or chief clerk says
that some man under him Is ineffi-
cient, and that he does not want him
in the service, we cannot say that 1t
Is a prejudice against the National
Guard; but we see that every year

release part Of that building for the
use of the National Guard. So we are
Just where we were last October-iook-
ing for premises"
It was here that Mr.. Funk made his
observation on the failure of the Guard
to submit proposition, when he said:
II do not think it is efficient business
management to propose that we ap-
propriate $4,000 for u project we
know nothing about, where no options
have been secured, and do not think
it is valid excuse to say you can
not proceed until you get an appro-
priation. 1t is our business to make
the appropriation upon definite esti-
mates, based upon options or some
definite business proposition. 1t
seems to me whoever has charge Of
this matter should be able to present
to the committee a definite PROPOSE
ton. You should be able to say we
have an option upon q certain loca-
ton, and we can rent that space for
a certain sum. It would simply be an
endless circle to say we can not pro-
ceed until we get an appropriation.
We can not proceed with the making
Of an appropriation until we get def
mite estimates. There is nothing be-
fore this committee that would seem
to justify the appropriation of that
item Of Sc, 200 for next year, and until
something definite is proposed to the
committee, do not see how we can
do anything to eliminate It.
