'Our system of taxation and of busi

revised, with the definite purpose to pro

professional soldiers. We favor the
democratic policy of a small standing
army, with a trained citizen reserve
subject to call for service only in case
of declaration of war by Congress. The
training of citizen soldiers should be
under national eupervlsion, and Its con
trol shared by citizens who are not of.
fleers of tho Regular Army
"The purpose of this training should
be not only to provide a trained citizen
reserve upon which the nation may de.
pend for defence In time of need, but
to promote the health of the youth of
the land as well as to instruct them In
good citizenship nnd In useful habits of
Industry. This would be a return to
one of the basic principles upon which
this Government was founded.- as de.
clared by law during Washington's Ad
ministration, namely, a universal obll.
gatlon to Borve in time of war and a
universal oDiigation to be nt to serve.
