Says Mr. Smqii Jaly man John H- 8mall of North Caro lina made a vigorous debate In op position to the Bay resolution, wWch ?as pmk d In Ue How Saturday by a rote of ??? to t^and which -.pro- "J vldea for thp payment of $Mt monthr j [4y to dependants of mllttlamen. Mr. | Small acid Mr. Jamoa, the latter be- 1 ing of Michigan, wore the only two who voted against It- The argument was as follow*: Mr. 8MALL? ^-Mr. Speaker, when . the bo- called drafting bill was before this Houee several daya ago I voted for ft, although It contained the sub stance of this bill. I did po'beeanae of the exlgonBc wWch existed for the drafting of the Natloanl Guard Into the regular service. But now that we have this question concrete ly presented In ? separate bill, I feel free to voice mfc opposition to It knd to express the l^asons which actuatc me. I realise fuIljweTl the fine senti ment behind thai members of this House who favor thla bill. I realise the force of their appeals to patriot ism: but I Insist that we should appeal to the cool, sober judgment of ourselves and of the American people, and that) this bill Is not In tho Interest of Mai patriotism. Mr. Speaker, tnls bill Involves an unwarranted and unnecessary expen diture. No mas' can prophesy the amount which njll be ultimately In volved ? In it, evjNi as applicable to tho National Gaw^. In the debate at the other eafli the Capitol It waaoaldtBat fn&fag.to 25 per cent of the members of the Guard would make application under such a law for the support of their families. If you say 0 per cent, 10,000 out of the 100,000 men that It is supposed the National Guard will furnish, you have $6,000,000 annually required to support their families under the provisions of such a law. When the bill was originally here $1,000 was sought to be appropriated. Now, for some reason not explained by the committee. It has been Increased to $2,000,000. I ask In all alncerlty, why has It been increased? What Is the basis upon which the increase was made? And can any Member say that the amount named in this bill is sufficient for the purpose? M^. HAY ? Does the gentleman wsnt an answer to that? Mr. SMALL ? I will yield. Mr. HAY ? The reason It was in creased was because after making careful Inquiry the committee thought that thla M, 000, 000 would be amply sufficient until the meeting of the next session of Congress. Mr. 0MAX.L ? I win coma to thai part of It upon another phase of this queatlon Id a moment. % ? This bill doea not ppovlde for the Regular Army. I kaov It. will be said that the Regular Army la oom j posed of men who Were enlisted without Una burden and expense of a family Upon them, whether that la 11 terally?tTO* tot *ot I do Mf* know; but I have, and. I: doubt not every Member at th'a House has, from time to time -refei\ce4 applications from the fa&tflles pf jcfftn in the Reg ular Army, asking f or thejr discharge becauBe tfte presence vof the aoldier was necessary for thair lupport. And I take It there are Instances ? how numerous I do not know ? In the Regular Army where, if this prin ciple Is to be applied. It dught to be applied to them. The result of any such legislation as this would be the demoralisation and the disorganisa tion of the Regular Army. Some weeks ago we passed a bill increasing the Regular Army by 20,000 men, calling for volunteers to enlfBt. It has been stated, and I presume authoritatively, that up to this time less than 12,000 of the 2(1,000 men asked for have enlisted, although strenuous effort* have been made to secure th^if. Why waa it? I have not the or the na tion to go 'Into t^4*. reasons fjr. it. but. I do insist tl^M such a legisla tion as this will not have a tendency to cerate a disposition upon the part Of o?ur cl tlx ens to enlist lp the ular Arniy. ana' thai ft will Increase many fold the difficulties of securing sufficient enlistments to make up the larger Army which jh*s been author ized in the natlon4j^|ftyenae act. This bill does not provifl? lor volunteers. Gentlemen may say, "If volunteers are necessary, we will meet that question when we reach It;" but I contend that It ought to be reached now, that this Is the time to perfect such legislation aa will be applicable to every phase of this necessity which is said to exist, and which un doubtedly In time of war will exist. Mr. MEEKER ? Will the gentle Mr. SMALL ? .For a question. Mr. MEEKER? What suggeatlon has the gentleman to offer for the caring for these needy families? If this 1b not done, how would you take care of them? Mr. SMALL ? I will endeavor to answer the gentleman directly. Fur ther, this bill does not provide for the family of a soldier, killed in ac tion. We are seeking here to pro vide support for families (Continued on page 3) U. S. MS 21000,000 HEN WHO ARE ABlf .
