PENDLETON MAY JOIN
IN NATION'S PLAN
FOR DEFENSE GUARD
THERE I SOME TALK OF REOIt
GWIZING MILITIA IS Tins
CITY.
Shall Pendleton Join the prepared
ness move now underway throughout
the country by reorganising a na
tional guard company? here Is some
talk along this line and there are
some reasons why the move would be
wise.
It is the view of Dr. M. S. Kern for
mer captain in the O N. G. that the
militia ray hill will be passed by the
coming congress. If this comes true
there will be pay for guardsmen and
mfcst b sn
"thank you" basis as In the past. The
position of company commander In
particular will be made easier as he
will be able to employ clerk hire at
government expense.
It Is the supposition everywhere
that the mllltla pay hill will make It
easier to eserure both officers and
enlisted men for the national guard.
Hence if the bill paesses a guard
company might do well in Pendleton
Pendleton had a guard company for
several years and the command was
disbanded hecause of Inability to se
cure officers.
A the state Is now erecting ar
mories for national guard companies
tne diff,r,nt town, the permanent
establishment of a company
would mean a substantial
building for the city.
