In a brief submitted to tho U. S.
Court of Claims, (ieo. A. and Will. II.
King, of Washington, D. C, attorneys
for Washington Howie, Jr., argued In
support of the contention that officers
of tho National (lunrd or Organized
Militia, below tho rank of brigadier
general, when engaged In encamp
ment maneuvers and Held Instruction,
under Sec. 16, Act of Jun. 21, 1U03, are
entitled to a ten-per-ccnt. Increase of
pay for each lustrum or period of five
years' service tendered In the Or
ganized Militia. Tho claimant as an
officer of tho Maryland National
Guard took part in tho exercises at
the Mount Oredm (Pa.) Camp of In
struction in 1906. Ho did not receive
longevity pay, which, ho asserts, is
provided for by Sec. 12G2, IlevlBcd
Statutes. In the stato camps of In
struction he and other officers of the
M. N. G. received longevity pay. Prior
to the Mount Gretna Camp jio had
seived fifteen years two months and
six days In the Guard. Tho J. A. G.
rendered an opinion, dated Oct,. 1C,
1104, Pur. 3C8; Manual Puy Depart
ment, U. S. A., holding that officers of
the organized militia are not entitled
to longevity pay for service In the
militia. This decision, says tho brief,
would bo correct In u rnso of an Army
officer iiBklng credit for militia ser
vice, "but to apply It to an omcer of
the organized militia would bo to do
prlve him of any pay whatever unless
It be for service In the Army." The
claimant based his claim not on Army
Statutes primarily, but upon the Act
of June 21, 1903, which, ho holds, in
tended to assimilate the pay of the
organized militia to tho pay of the
Army. In tho case of tho Marino
Corps, Navy and Itevenue Cutter Ser
vice, officers have received the same
pay as officers of the Army and have
been credited with the Bervico they
had rendered In their own particu
lar branch. Likewise, tho militia are
entitled to credit for service In their
branch.
The statutes affecting tho pay of
the Marine Corps, Navy and Revenue
Cutter Service ure similar In phrase
ology to the statute relating to mili
tia pay. "They all provide a pay as
similated to tho puy of tho Army.
None of them assimilates tho service
to the service of tho Army." Tho con
tentlon of tho J. A. G. that tho ser
vice of a guardsman ts not constant,
but Is rendered In the form of weekly
drills, etc., is met in the brief with
this quotation from tho speech of
Gcneinl Oliver, Asst. Secy, of Wur, at
the convention of the National Ouard
Association in January, 11)08: "Now,
I do not think that many of the Na
tional Guardsmen realize that they
are exactly on the same piano ns the
Regular Army if wur occurred to
morrow Every National Guardsman,
tho day ho signs his enlistment paper,
or every officer of the National Guard,
whenever ho takes his oath, enlists
for war. Do you realize that? There
lias been so much talk some loose
talk, on the question of whether the
Nntlonal Guaid was In tho llrst line
or the second lne, or whether preced
ence would be taken by the volun
teers, tint I should like to have you
all tako that In. Gentlemen, you ure
in tho llrst line, and you have volun
tcjied, The thing is done." The A.
O. of Maryland is quoted ns certify
ing that tho clulmunt'B service In the
National tGuard of Maryland wus
"continuous, he being ut all times
eubject to military discipline and
duties." Later decisions of the J. A.
G. Depaitment, It Is hold in the brief,
are against the decision used as au
thority in the puy manual and the
