Albion argues for ending pay deductions and arrears practices that gouge officers. He cites English regimental abuses by agents charging poundage and hospital fees, proposes direct pay from the treasury, clearer accounting, and stricter officer terms. He urges protections for private men, limited enlistment, and peace-time service terms to secure discipline and liberties.
