Proposed Arizona Guard To Be Limited To 723 Members
Tucson attorney Samuel H. Fowler says the proposed Arizona state guard as a successor to National Guard training will likely be limited to 723 members. He predicts next legislature will pass laws amending the National Guard enabling act and funding the new troops. The current law permits guard and unorganized militiamon but not a state guard to replace youths in Oklahoma and Texas for war training. Federal aid will follow after legislation and Washington receives copies for 1917 Enfield rifles ammunition and belts. Uniforms would be paid by individuals or the state.
