I have many goals in mind for my life. I want to graduate university, possibly go to graduate school, and obtain a career in which I am happy and satisfied. Yes, I know this sounds very cliché as many people want to obtain this kind of life. I don't mind obtaining a "normal" happy life as long as I am happy with it. I am familiar with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and I want to make sure I fulfill my lower needs before I start trying to achieve my goals. I have never actually applied the GIOADA process to my decision making in the past. After reading the document that describes the GIOADA process, I will start applying this process to future decisions I make in life. Also, as I look back at some of the big decisions I made previously, I wish I applied the GIOADA process in making these decisions. That would have allowed me to more strongly analyze all the processes of the decision making.
My goal in life right now is a choice between two very different careers. The careers I have in mind are being a Foreign Service officer or being a software engineer. I know in my career paper I indicated a preference towards becoming a Foreign Service officer, particularly one involved in economic affairs, as it fits my major better. However, I've always held an interest in computer and software design and programming and my interests would also be served by becoming a software engineer. My goal is to find the career that suits me better than the other career and strive to achieve that career. Right now, I am still working on best aligning my interests towards my desired career. As described in my career readiness paper, A Foreign Service Officer (FSO) is a commissioned member of the United States Foreign Service. As Diplomats, Foreign Service Officers formulate and implement the foreign policy of the United States. FSOs spend most of their careers overseas as members of U.S. embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic missions, though some receive assignments to combatant command, Congress, and educational institutions such as the various U.S. War Colleges. Foreign Service Officers are in demand, though the U.S. government caps the number. The process to become a Foreign Service Officer is one of the most difficult for any career tracks, requiring difficult interviews and tests and thorough background checks. Being an FSO pays well and the government covers many expenses. FSOs can come from many university backgrounds, with degrees such as international relations, economics and biology. A software engineer is what it sounds like, someone who develops software using computers. The demand for this career is skyrocketing and has been as companies move into the Internet age. Many software engineers with a bachelor's degree can easy find software engineering jobs. Jobs are in particular demand in places like Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, TX. Usually, a computer science or software engineering degree is required to be a software engineer, but what matters most are the skills. There are several options I can take to decide my career. First we'll focus on becoming an FSO. I am interested in becoming an economic FSO, so I could either stay as a business major or move to an economics major.
I know that FSOs often come from top schools, so I have been considering transferring from Western New England, not just to help my chances of getting my career, but for other reasons as well. I may have to go to graduate school, though it is not required to be an FSO. If I were to decide to become a software engineer, I'd have to switch into the engineering school. I'd have to take a computer engineering or computer science track for my major. It is also not necessary to go to graduate school to become a software engineer, as many software engineers get high paying jobs just out of college. There are several ways to analyze my future career choice. A foreign service officer is what I've always wanted to do. I would be most happy in that career. On the other hand, it is very difficult to become an FSO. The admission rate for FSOs from applicants is 2.1%. It is easier to get into Harvard than to become an FSO. Graduate school, especially public service graduate schools, is encouraged for those wishing to become an FSO. I would choose to become a software engineer if I wanted to have an easier time getting a job out of university and a higher starting income. It is relatively easy to become a software engineer, provided one can finish all the university work and graduate. The most difficult step of the GIOADA process is selecting a final decision. This decision should and will be made later, however. Right now I am taking computer science and economics classes to determine which subject I enjoy and am most successful at. I can switch majors up until junior year. For this decision, the input of others is very important. By others, the important of them would be my parents. My parents will give their input on my career choices and guide me towards a choice that will benefit me the most in the future and that I will be most successful with. My parents' opinions would definitely not fall in "groupthink." They will not just "go with the flow" but will give their expert opinions. Once a decision has been made, action takes place. I will work hard in the classes of whatever major I choose. This will eventually give me in edge in getting a job and will prepare me for the hard work of the future. Only my actions can truly cause the action stage, and I am willing to work for the ends.

Much has been said in recent years about the EPO's 'Early Certainty from Search' program and similar programs for examination and opposition. Since 2014, patent examiners have been pushed to increase their productivity to help reduce the time period between the filing of a patent application and its eventual grant or refusal. While patent attorneys, applicants and (strictly anonymous) examiners have now and then expressed their worries about a perceived reduction in quality of some of the 'examination products' and a discomforting increase of workload for examiners, the EPO has frequently advertised the success of this program. Aside from some unwanted side-effects, the main idea behind these programs is a laudable one. In the words of the EPO: "[to] benefit the general public by enhancing the transparency of pending patent rights in Europe, providing an overview of prior art and patentability at an early stage in the proceedings". Who could ever object to that?
Some applicants, predominantly but not exclusively in the biotech field (e.g. 1, 2), are not always that happy with earlier certainty and have argued that in some instances they might need more time to find out if and what embodiments described in their applications are technically or commercially viable. Delaying the start of the substantive examination phase would give them more time to find out what they actually would like to have protected by a patent.
In order to please those applicants, the EPO last autumn reanimated an old idea: deferred examination. A nice overview of the long history of this idea was provide by Chris Mercer in the June issue of 'epi information'. Like many times before, the proposal appeared to die an early death when it was dismissed by the Administrative Council. The EPO, however, has taken up the idea again last month and started a user consultation process on what they euphemistically call User-Driven Early Certainty. The questionnaire has so many detailed 'how' questions that it looks like they have already answered the 'if' question a long time ago. Nevertheless, or maybe exactly because thereof, I'm using this opportunity to explain why I think any form of deferred examination is a bad idea.
The basic idea behind our patent system is to provide clever, hard-working and creative people and companies a limited monopoly on the commercial fruits of their inventions. Because monopolies are against the core principles of our (regulated) free market economy, you only get a patent if you give something in return. You have to explain to the world what you have invented and you have to pay a tax for getting your patent granted and keeping it in force. To determine if your invention is worth a patent and to determine the exact scope of your monopoly, European patent applications are examined by the EPO. For the rest of the world, it is important to know this exact scope as quickly as possible. Although a certain period of uncertainty about the fate of a patent application is unavoidable, filing and paying for a patent application does not give you a right to maximise uncertainty for your competitors. It is the task of the patent office to minimise this uncertainty for third parties.
What makes the idea of on-demand examination delay even worse is that, in practice, it won't be used for clearly inventive and well-defined contributions to the world's technical knowledge. Delayed examination is most useful for those cases where the patentability of the invention is questionable or where the applicant doesn't really know yet if there's something useful in his patent application. Allowing the applicant to maximise the legal uncertainty for his competitors in such situations is diametrically against the basic principles of our patent system.
The EPO does acknowledge the possible problems deferred examination may cause for the general public and does propose a remedy. This remedy is however far from perfect. Upon the payment of a fee and/or the submission of substantiated, non-anonymous, third party observations, it is suggested, the examination can be sped up again. The 'and/or' here is one of the aspects the EPO is questioning its users about (on a side note: the proposed changes mainly affect third parties and the public at large. Asking an opinion from EPO users only can never lead to a useful and representative survey result). Without at least one of the two requirements, 'abuse' of the remedy would be too easy. With these requirements, third parties concerned about a delayed patent application may have to pay the EPO and do their job for them, while simultaneously informing the applicant (and competitor) about their worries.
A much better remedy would be to not offer the option of deferred examination at all. The patent system is not created for allowing companies to maximise legal uncertainty for their competitors, but to reward true inventors for their proven inventive contributions to the state of the art.
Do you have an opinion about deferred examination too? Please use the comments functionality below to discuss this topic in public or fill in the EPO questionnaire to share your thoughts anonymously with the EPO only.
Disclaimer: The article above expresses the personal opinion of the writer only and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IP firm or clients he may represent.
By ipcopy in Patents on December 4, 2018 .
Moreover, European applications cover more than 40 countries while European patents only 3/4 countries, so that deferred examinations would prolong also an undue monopoly in most European countries.
Already for this reason only, European patents should be granted ASAP.
A possible remedy could be a high fee (more than 1000 Euro) for deferring examinations.

Vibrasphere TM Radio DJ Profile
If you like Vibrasphere(on TM Radio for over 12.2 years), please, consider telling your friends.
For close to a decade, Swedish duo Rickard Berglöf and Robert Elster (better known to the world as Vibrasphere) have been pumping out tracks from their Cloud 99 Studios. With over a 100 released productions to their name and gigs in all parts of the globe, they are without a doubt one of the most sought-after and respected trance acts in the world today. Early releases "Echo" (2001) on Spiral Trax & "Lime Structure" (2003) on Digital Structures established them as truly leading figures of the progressive trance scene, earning them a place in the history of this progressive sound. Their 3rd Album, "Archipelago" (also on Digital Structures) was regarded as one of the seminal releases of 2006 and after their short break in 2005, firmly signally Vibrasphere were back on the scene. In late 2006, the single "Floating Free" was picked up by Superstar DJs Markus Shulz & Armin Van Buuren for their radio shows, resulting in a string of licenses including Gatecrasher Live on Ministry of Sound and Armada Trance Vol. 1. Strong support from DJs Paul Van Dyk, Hernan Cattaneo, Paul Oakenfold, Christopher Lawrence, Remy, Menno de Jong, Kenneth Thomas and John 00 Fleming has helped with making a successful transition to a wider audience and a whole new generation of Vibrasphere fans. Riding on the back of their successful 2006 release Archipelago (and its subsequent remix cd), Vibrasphere again promises a strong showing in '07 with their 4th full length studio album, "Exploring the Tributaries" this time on Tribal Vision Records. Showcasing a slightly different side of the duo's productions, "Exploring the Tributaries" will be a bit more experimental in nature, incorporating sounds from a wide range of styles including club influenced progressive, electro-minimal & downbeat-chill. Rickard & Robert have put to good use their years of studio experience in creating a sound that will be both timeless and contemporary - a true look into the musical minds of some of progressive music's pioneering acts.

Q: Comparing current element with previous element in PHP multi-dimensional array The goal is to compare the current array element qty with the previous and if the condition is met return success, i.e: if current element qty is 0 and the previous element qty is greater than 5 return.
Research keeps popping up PHP's current(), next(), and prev() tools however I'm not getting the return I hope for with these attempts:
1.
for($i = 0; $i < $length -1; ++$i){
  if(current($myArray[0]['qty']) == 0 && prev($myArray[0]['qty']) > 5){
    echo 'success!';
  }
}

2.
foreach($myArray as $item){
  if(current($item['qty']) == 0 && prev($item['qty'] > 5)){
    echo 'success!';
  } else {
    continue;
  }
}

Admittedly I'm not familiar with all of PHP's available tools and options so if there's something else I should be learning about and using I'd be grateful for suggestions.
Here's my sample array:
$myArray = Array
(
  [0] => Array
    (
      [0] => foo
      [name] => foo
      [1] => 15
      [qty] => 15
    )
  [1] => Array
    (
      [0] => bar
      [name] => bar
      [1] => 0
      [qty] => 0
    )
  [2] => Array
    (
      [0] => baz
      [name] => baz
      [1] => 47
      [qty] => 47
    )
)

My desired result would be the following for an automatic email: **bar** is empty, check **foo** for replenishment!

A: You cannot use prev() to get the previous element of an array during a for loop, because the loop doesn't change the internal array pointer. Also, the prev() function should be used on the array, not on a value.
You can use the index of the foreach() and check if the $array[$index-1] exists and if its value match to your condition:
$myArray = array(
  0 => array(0 => 'foo', 'name' => 'foo', 1 => 15, 'qty' => 15),
  1 => array(0 => 'bar', 'name' => 'bar', 1 => 0, 'qty' => 0),
  2 => array(0 => 'baz', 'name' => 'baz', 1 => 47, 'qty' => 47)
);

foreach ($myArray as $index => $item) {
  // if index is greater than zero, you could access to previous element:
  if ($item['qty'] == 0 && $index > 0 && $myArray[$index-1]['qty'] > 5) {
    $current_name = $item['name'];
    $previous_name = $myArray[$index-1]['name'];
    echo "'$current_name' is empty, check '$previous_name' for replenishment!";
  } else {
    continue;
  }
}

Output:

'bar' is empty, check 'foo' for replenishment!

McCall Farms Invests $10.6 Million To Expand Its Florence County, South Carolina, Manufacturing Plant
Area Development News Desk
South Carolina Basic Business Taxes 2012
South Carolina Direct Financial Incentives 2012
McCall Farms Inc., a producer of canned and frozen vegetables, will invest $10.6 million to expand of its manufacturing facility in Florence County, South Carolina, creating an estimated 80 new jobs.

McCall Farms ships its products to retailers, foodservice and industrial customers throughout the United States from its headquarters south of Florence at 6615 S. Irby Street in Effingham, South Carolina..
"We are excited to see our company expand again in Florence County. Our business has grown significantly and we have a wider reach than ever. South Carolina has been a great home for our company, providing an excellent business environment and a fantastic workforce. We look forward to continuing to build on our success and appreciate all the support we've received from state and local officials," said Marion Swink, president of McCall Farms Inc.
"South Carolina continues to be the place to do business, and we see that with expansions like this one by McCall Farms in Florence County. Announcements like this one show we are on the right track with our economic development efforts," said Gov. Nikki Haley.
State Senator Hugh K. Leatherman said, "McCall Farms is a fine example of a local home grown business, adding so much to our community over the past decades of success. They currently employ nearly 850 hard-working individuals and it's refreshing to know that a majority of their products are still grown right here in South Carolina. I commend McCall Farms and look forward to many more years of growth, as they continue to call Florence County home."

Lindsay fights to keeps workers from mines
Lindsay Transport is losing skilled workers to the mining sector, but it is not the only employer likely to suffer
By Ruza Zivkusic | June 15, 2011
Lindsay Transport is battling to keep skilled workers from fleeing to the mines, but the trucking operator is not the only business likely to lose staff to the sector.
Lindsay's national maintenance manager, Nick Lindsay, says four skilled employees in the last six months have left to pursue higher pay and more opportunities in the mining sector.
"I've got 18 tradesmen working for me (in Coffs Harbour), so that's nearly a quarter of my tradesmen gone," he says.
And while saying it is frustrating to see his workers that he has trained leave, Lindsay adds that there is nothing much the company can do.
"What we compete with is bottom line dollars. Obviously we will be looking at the wages we pay people but we don't have a lot of leverage because we don't have big profit margins like the mines do," he says.
"There's a bit of jealousy and animosity among some of the guys that are tied down and can't go. Every man comes back and says they want a pay rise to stay. There's nothing we can do about it unless we win the lotto and we can pump everyone's pay up by 50 percent."
Morgan Consulting Associate Director Leigh Rowbottom says the transport industry needs to brace itself for a further loss of skilled workers to the mining sector.
He adds that businesses need to look at retention strategies and rewards to keep staff happy.
"They need to put a lot more effort into their employees and keep them happy in the surroundings that they work in," Rowbottom says.
"The mining sector is not at its peak time yet so they're only starting to go on that upward spiral again."

Updale, Eleanor. 2003/2004. Montmorency: Thief, Liar, Gentleman?
Originally published in Great Britain in 2003. Montmorency: Thief, Liar, Gentleman is the first in a series. (Montmorency having lots of adventures you see.) Set in Victorian England, it focuses on a thief and con man. We first meet our narrator in prison. We learn that he's been named "Montmorency" by the doctor that saved his life (and made a guinea pig out of him as well), Dr. Farcett. But he goes by another name as well: Prisoner 493.
493 is not well liked by his fellow prisoners. As the subject of study (and experimentation) of Dr. Farcett, he gets to go in and out of prison on a regular basis. True, his times out of prison he is the exhibit, an object on display, of Farcett and his lectures. But the other prisoners think he gets special treatment.
Ever calculating, 493 is already planning for his life out of prison. And he is absorbing everything around him. Absorbing all the information he hears at these lectures. Planning out his next big scheme.
His big plan? After hearing a lecture on the sewer system, he decides that he can use these underground passages as a way to get around during his burglaries. He can sneak into rich neighborhoods, hit his mark, and vanish underground. The scheme is complex--more complex than his previous crimes. So it takes a bit of planning. He soon realizes, he needs to be two people. To play two people. A Mr. Montmorency who is a rich, gentleman. A man who has the look and appearance of a gentleman. A man no one would mistake as a common thief. And Scarper, a lower-class man who can play the role of thief. Not that onlookers would take him as a thief. But he needs to be dirty and grungy and "common" enough that no one cares who he is and what he does. (It is a bit more complicated than that. But he has different "personas" he puts on to act out this scheme.)
Of course, he can plan all he likes when he's in prison...it's a different story to carry it out once he's been released. But Montmorency thinks he can do it.
My thoughts...I know this one is generally well liked (often loved) and it is typically highly recommended. But for me personally, I just didn't like it all that much. So while I think it has a certain amount of appeal to certain readers, I'm not sure I'll be following the series in the future.

Over at Kirkus: THIS IS HOW YOU LOSE THE TIME WAR by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone


Cobra's lightest and most forgiving hybrids are extremely FAST and easy to swing. Designed using lightweight construction and designs that deliver unrivaled distance, forgiveness and launch for moderate swing speeds.
A lighter overall club weight is achieved using a lighter head weight, grip weight and shaft weight to promote increased speed without sacrificing stability, so golfers can Maximize their distance.
A larger midsize grip features a lighter and softer rubber compound that saves 7g of weight while improving feel, comfort and control during the swing for more consistency.
Weight is strategically positioned low, back and heelward delivering higher, longer and straighter ball flights.
A shallow face design paired with high-strength forged stainless steel generates higher launch and faster ball speeds across the face.
An offset hosel promotes draw bias and squares the club face faster at impact to deliver straighter, more consistent ball flights on miss-hits.

Latin America's Access to International Capital Markets: Good Behavior or Global Liquidity?
Ana Fostel, Graciela Laura Kaminsky
Issued in June 2007
NBER Program(s):International Finance and Macroeconomics
This paper examines Latin America's access to international capital markets from 1980 to 2005, with particular attention to the role of domestic and external factors. To capture access to international markets, we use primary gross issuance in international bond, equity, and syndicated-loan markets. Using panel estimation, we find that sound fundamentals matter. For example, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile's superb performance in capital markets during the early 1990s has been in large part driven by better fundamentals. However, the upsurge in international lending to Latin America starting in 2003 has been mainly driven by a dramatic increase in global liquidity.

Transfer pricing a critical issue for African tax administrations
By Wally Horak Friday, January 10, 2014
However, the United Nations has published a Transfer Pricing Practice Manual for Developing Nations, which may be more appropriate in particular circumstances in Africa. Both publications accept the arm's length principle as a basic guideline to determine pricing between related entities in a multinational enterprise. Nevertheless, a multinational should not assume that the prices established for intra-group transactions under a typical worldwide transfer pricing policy based on the OECD Guidelines would definitely be accepted by the African authority concerned.
The fact that transfer pricing is not an exact science, and that there is no single answer to any transfer pricing dispute, makes it difficult to ensure a consistent approach by different tax authorities. This could result in double taxation and expanded disputes with local tax authorities. It is thus critical for multinationals to have good connections with local firms in the African countries concerned to assist them with negotiations on transfer pricing disputes.
In addition, it is important to note that transfer pricing disputes are now frequently taken either to the local courts or to an arbitration forum, which implies that the authorities are becoming more litigious! This makes it important to ensure that the transfer pricing policy of the multinational is appropriately documented and implemented by a local law firm, and supported by objective information and economic analyses. It is no longer sufficient to do a very basic search of comparables on an international database and to then elect a price in the very wide range obtained, without appropriate adjustments to reflect the economic realities of the actual situation. It is doubtful that such general pricing analyses will stand up in court if challenged by the capable teams now employed by the tax authorities in several African jurisdictions. Multinationals operating in Africa often regard operations in African countries as less valuable than those of the parent or other foreign group companies. The transfer pricing policies then reflect this by merely allocating a small margin on costs to entities Africa, arguing that the cost plus method is justifiable where the local entity merely provides a minor service, and that the local company is not required to take many of the risks relating to the sales in that jurisdiction.
For example, instead of using a fully fledged manufacturing and distribution subsidiary in the African country concerned, the multinational appoints the subsidiary as contract or tolling manufacturer, to provide the service of manufacturing the goods for the foreign principal in the group. The contract manufacturer is remunerated for services rendered to produce the goods and does not participate in much of the profit from the subsequent sales in that jurisdiction by the principal.
The principal would then often still use the subsidiary to sell the goods in the market, but would either use the subsidiary as agent to solicit orders, without contractual capacity, or sell the subsidiary on a stripped-buy-sell basis - that is, where all the risks are taken by the principal such as credit risk, currency risk, product risk and theft. The distributor is then in a similar position to an agent, which means that it cannot justify a margin much higher than the commission of an agent. The end result is that although many of the functions contributing to the sale of goods in that jurisdiction are performed in the local jurisdiction, only a small portion of the profit is allocated to the local subsidiary in terms of transfer pricing guidelines.
These practices can be in line with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, but they may result in the creation of a permanent establishment (PE) for the principal in the local country. For example, on the basis that the principal is holding inventory in the local country which is not held merely for purposes of delivery but also to facilitate sales by the subsidiary for the benefit of the principal, that is, the activities of the principal in the local jurisdiction may exceed the limited activities allowed under the typical PE provisions of an applicable double taxation agreement (DTA) with that country. This would allow the African country to impose tax on a portion of the profits realised by the principal to the extent that such profits could be regarded as attributable to a PE. Transfer pricing principles are generally also applied to determine what portion of the profits may be so attributed to the PE.
Multinationals also frequently charge high royalties to the African subsidiaries for the use of intellectual property (IP) owned by the foreign parent. It is very difficult to determine the arm's length rate for such IP royalties, which makes it difficult for the local tax authorities to dispute the rate. However, many African jurisdictions simply restrict the royalty rate under exchange control restrictions to some arbitrary rate, making it impossible for the multinational to extract arm's length royalties. In such cases, the compensation required by the foreign parent is often extracted in another form, such as increased cost for the supply of components used by the subsidiary, or through fees for services rendered.
It is also problematic to find evidence of arm's length fees for intra-group services. Typically such fees are determined using the cost plus method. However, the margins in respect of a particular service are difficult to establish and information in this regard on international databases fluctuates significantly. Multinationals could thus use the upper range of such a range to determine a fee for intra-group services and thus extract high margins.
African tax authorities are becoming much more competent in identifying these strategies and they frequently attack margins determined under international transfer pricing analyses. These disputes often end in complex settlement negotiations where the authorities are driving a tough bargain! It is thus important to ensure meticulous planning of an appropriate transfer pricing strategy which can stand up to the challenge in this litigious environment. Furthermore, it is critical to secure the support of experienced and competent tax litigators who can support you in these disputes.
The Bowman tax team, in conjunction with the litigation team, has extensive experience in tax litigation and dispute resolution, including representing multinationals in settlement negotiations and dispute resolution processes. Furthermore, we have excellent ties with our network of associate firms in most major African jurisdictions, who support us in such multi-national cases.

The Unconstitutional "National Guard"
By A.O. BaconMay 4, 2022Blog
Speech delivered by Senator A.O. Bacon of Georgia, December, 1902.
Mr. President: Of course, I think the amendment offered by the Senator from Ohio [Mr. Foraker] , which has now been accepted, makes this section less objectionable. I might agree, however, with what the Senator from Wisconsin [Mr. Spooner] stated yesterday, that with this amendment the section is of not very much practical operation. The common suggestion that it can do little harm does not constitute a sufficient reason why a bill which has evil in it should be passed, or why an amendment or any portion of a bill that has evil in it should be agreed to. I wish very much that the committee would eliminate this feature of the bill. I think I will be able to show that it has no part properly in the bill. It is not properly a part of a militia bill. It is the introduction into our regular military establishment of an altogether new feature, and, I repeat, a feature which in no sense has any connection with the militia branch of the service.
This is a bill having for its professed purpose the reorganization of the general militia of the United States. As such it is a most, important bill. As such it is one which must interest every Senator, not only from a national standpoint, but from the standpoint of the State which lie represents. One of the fundamental ideas in the formation of this Government was the reliance of the Government upon the militia for its defense, and therefore we find that in the formation of the Constitution it is provided for, and among the first enactments of the Congress of the United States, after the formation of the Government, was the law organizing the militia.
Mr. President, I think that this portion of the pending bill, found in section 24, is violative of the spirit and intent of the Constitution, and I hope I may have the attention of Senators who favor this section, because I desire that they may consider the suggestion which I am now about to make. I repeat—and I believe it will be so recognized by Senators—that section 24 is violative of the spirit and intent of the Constitution, if not violative of its letter.
Now, of course, if the position taken by the learned Senator from Alabama [Mr. Pettus] yesterday is correct, that this is a part of the militia system, it would undoubtedly be in violation of its letter, because it prescribes duties which the Constitution prohibits among those which can be imposed upon the militia. There is no possible question about the fact that it is not a part of the militia, so far as its letter goes. But I think it is violative of the spirit and intent of the Constitution in that it makes a part of the regular establishment that which the Constitution intended should be the militia. You are calling it by a different name. In that way you are technically taking it without the prohibition of the Constitution, whereas it is in fact a part of that which the Constitution makers had in contemplation when they provided for the organization of the militia.
The Constitution of the United States recognizes two classes of soldiery and makes special provision for them, and one is the Regular Army and the other is the militia. It gives to the Congress, to use the language of the Constitution, power—
To raise and to support armies.
What armies does the Constitution contemplate when it gives that power to Congress? That is entirely apart from any military organization in the States. It is entirely apart from anything of which the States have any control. It is particularly and peculiarly to be the military branch of the National Government, under the distinct control of the National Government, to be organized by the National Government, to be equipped by the National Government, and paid by the National Government, and a restriction is put upon the power of the National Government in that particular to the estent of saying there shall be no appropriation for that purpose exceeding two years.
Of course that limitation has no special significance relative to this bill except for the purpose of illustrating the fact that the contemplation of the Constitution was that the Regular Army should be a regular establishment in the regular service of the Government, as contradistinguished from the citizen soldiery, which was all recognized as belonging to the class known and denominated as the militia.
The citizen soldiery, in the contemplation of the Constitution, was to constitute the militia, and the framers of the Constitution having in view distinctly these two classes of soldiery made two distinct provisions. One was that the Regular Army—I am not quoting the language but the effect of the language—should be raised and organized and supported by the National Government and should be under its exclusive control. The other was that the citizen soldiery of this country, which was to be called upon in cases of emergency, should be nnder the control of the States so far as concerned their organization and officering, with certain privileges allowed to Congress as to the provisions that should be made with reference to them. But the provision which is in the same article of the Constitution with reference to the militia is in these words:
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the States, respectively, the appointment of the officers and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.
It is entirely proper for Congress under that clause to enact the provisions contemplated in this bill for the proper discipline of the militia, but when, Mr. President, you take a part of the citizen soldiery who are not in the regular service, as it has been heretofore recognized, who are not to be taken from their duties as civilians, from their ordinary vocations of life, who are to remain citizen soldiery, but who are nevertheless to be organized as a reserve for the Regular Army, officered by the United States Government, and subject to be called out by the President without reference to the militia law, you invade the province which it was intended should be without the distinct province of the Government of the United States in the organization of an army; you violate and defeat that which was the plain intent and purpose of the Constitution. .
Mr. President, why was it that the Constitution makers said that in the militia there should be reserved to the States, respectively, the appointment of the officers? Did they desire to insure the separation of the citizen soldiery of the country from the Regular Army, or can it be imagined that they were splitting hairs and contemplated such a technicality as must be resorted to to sustain section 24 of this bill? Was it in contemplation that under a technicality the citizen soldiery could be divided into two classes—one class to be known as militia, composed of citizen soldiery, another class to be known as the volunteer reserve, and also composed of citizen soldiery—or was it the intent of the Constitution that all the citizen soldiery should be known as the militia? And whether the purpose is good or bad, wise or unwise, necessary or unnecessary, it is nevertheless the provision of the Constitution that they, the militia, shall stand distinct and apart and that the States shall have the right to officer them. When you divide them into two classes, all citizen soldiery, but one part to be known as the militia, to be officered by the States, and the other part, still citizen soldiery, to be known as volunteer reserve and officered by the United States, the purpose of the Constitution is defeated.
Aside from that I respectfully submit, sir, that it is an unnecessary provision. Outside of the purpose to enlarge practically the standing army I can conceive of no reason why there should be a volunteer reserve, as it is called, which shall be apart from the volunteer soldiery, a different part altogether, unless it be the apprehension that in time of war, in time of emergency, there will be an insufficiency of response on the part of the volunteer soldiery to meet the demands which would arise to meet such an emergency. Has there ever been anything in the past which would indicate any such danger? Is there anything which could possibly suggest such a danger in the future? Why is it that we are to have two classes of citizen soldiery, unless, forsooth, there . is danger that the one will be insufficient to answer the purpose. Everyone knows that in time of need there is practically no limit to the number of volunteer soldiers who would promptly be at the call of the Government.
For over a hundred years we have had this system. For over a hundred years we have had but one class of citizen soldiery, and that is known as the militia. Sir, who shall define militia to be other than citizen soldiery? Who shall define militia to be other than that which has been known and accepted to be militia since 1792—the citizen soldiery of the country? If that is the meaning of it, if that was the intent of the framers of the Constitution, by what right do we at this late date seek to evade the plain provisions of the Constitution for that purpose? How is it that we are at this day to say in the passage of a law that there shall he a part of the citizen soldiery subject to be called into the service of the United States which shall not be a part of the militia?
Mr. President, the provision of this section of the bill is that the volunteer reserve, as it is called, shall be made up of those who have served in the militia or who have served in the Regular Army of the United States. They are to be enrolled, and although under the amendment which was adopted there will be no drills or anything of the kind, they are to be enrolled, and, I suppose, necessarily organized. How they are to be organized if they are never to be gathered together for inspection or drill I do not know.
This twenty-fourth section erects within each State two different classes of citizen soldiery, one of which will necessarily be the particular object of care on the part of the United States Government. It is true that the bill provides that the militia shall have proper equipment, proper organization, proper drill, and proper discipline, and all of that I most heartily approve, but. nevertheless, if you have in each State one class of citizen soldiery which shall be distinct from the other, which shall be in no manner subject to State law, which shall be in no manner subject to the call of the executive of the State, which shall have its wants supplied by the National Government, which shall have its officers supplied by the National Government, you necessarily have a class of men who will in time come to be recognized as higher in rank than the other class organized under State law, because of the vast resources of the National Government and the extremely restricted resources of the State government.
Mr. President, I repeat, I trust that this part of the bill will not be insisted upon. I am ready to respond to anything which the Senators in charge of the measure may' insist upon as important for the militia, but this is not a part of the organization of the militia. I venture to say that there was not one Senator in ten, nay, not one in fifty, outside of the Committee on Military Affairs who knew the fact that in that bill, which was denominated as a militia bill, there was included a provision for the organization of an army of 100,000 men, which should belong to the regular establishment and be a part of the Regular Army, although it is, if you please, a dormant part of that regular establishment. It is nevertheless a fact that under a bill to reorganize the militia we have here introduced a provision with reference to the Regular Army of the United States, and a most important and far-reaching part.
I appeal to Senators to let us proceed with the bill for the reorganization of the militia. Strike out this twenty-fourth section, so that we may all give our support to the militia bill, because we are all interested in it. I desire to say. for myself, that with possibly one or two minor provisions, which l do not entirely approve, I most heartily approve of the bill, so far as it relates to the militia.
I think it is of extreme importance that we should have a new law with reference to the militia, because condition shave changed and it is highly important that the militia should be organized in accordance with the changed conditions. When the act of 1792, which organized the militia of the United States, was passed, it contained some provisions that this bill contains in that it makes every man in the United States between 18 and 45 one of the militia, except only certain exempted parties; but when that act was passed conditions were very different. Then any man who knew how to use his sporting gun would know how to use the gun that he would have to use in time of war, and any man who had ordinary capacity could within a very few days be instructed in the simple evolutions which were necessary to make him an organized soldier.
But conditions have entirely changed. A man may now be an expert in the use of a sporting gun and be utterly ignorant of the use of the military arm. He may not only be so, but he is so in nine hundred and nine-nine cases out of one thousand, because in the development of military arms they are entirely different, and it takes specific instructions in order to fit a man to use a military arm.
Therefore, in the organization of the militia at the present day, in order that they may be made promptly effective in time of need, it is important that they should be organized and disciplined and drilled as the Army is drilled; that they should be instructed in the use of these arms, which are entirely different in construction, and the range of which is entirely different. It is important, in view of the changed methods growing out of the changed conditions in arms, that they should be organized into bodies of corresponding character and size, divisions, etc., so that the militia may, when ordered into active service, be ready for immediate and effective service.
Therefore, Mr. President, it is, as I said, without going into details, that I regard this bill as extremely important. I am extremely anxious that it shall be passed, so far as it relates to the militia, but I can see no reason why this measure should be encumbered with another measure which has no relation whatever to the militia, which does not belong to the militia, and which would be utterly unconstitutional if it did pertain to the militia, and which can only be defended on the ground that it is intended as an appendix to the Regular Army.
Mr. President, if we are to have any legislation with reference to the Regular Army let us have it separate and apart. Why should it be brought in here under the guise or under the wing, if you please, of a bill for the reorganization of the militia? Certainly the organization of the Regular Army is a matter of' sufficient importance to be dealt with separately and apart. It is a matter of sufficient importance to stand on its own ground and by its own strength, and not be brought here and put through as a part of a militia bill, because, forsooth, there is a necessity for the reorganization of the militia, and because by reason of that fact there is great influence in favor of the passage of a militia bill, and properly so. I want the Regular Army brought up to the highest state of efficiency, and I am ready to contribute all in my power to that end. But to accomplish this it is not necessary to mix legislation of the Army with that of the militia.
The Committee on Military Affairs of the Senate are certainly capable of presenting to the Senate and the House committee to the House an independent .measure with reference to the Army without having to have it supported and buttressed by the strength of a bill for the reorganization of the militia.
Mr. President, everything which relates to the standing Army is a most important matter. It is a matter that requires the greatest care on the part of Congress when we come to talk of legislating about a standing army. We have had a great change in the last two or three years in the standing Army.
While it may be, as the Senator from Wisconsin [Mr. Spooner] said on yesterday, that section 24 of this bill is to a great extent futile, with the amendment offered by the Senator from Ohio [Mr. Foraker], still, Mr. President, it is the foundation, it is the beginning, and what may now be lacking of the bill, or this part of it, as it has been amended, will be more easily supplied hereafter. It will be said, "Here we have an organization and it is ineffective, a part of the Regular Army; " and then it will be amended and added to, and this volunteer reserve will become the important part of the volunteer soldiery, and the militia and the volunteer soldiery of the States will gradually be depreciated and become insignificant.
I desire, Mr. President, that the learned Senators who support this bill will answer the suggestion which I have made as to whether or not it is violative of the spirit of the Constitution when they make a part of the citizen soldiery of the country a part of the standing Army of the country, and that is exactly what this section does.
It takes the citizen soldiery and simply by changing the name from what the Constitution intended it should all be known by, to wit, the militia, makes a part of the citizen soldiery a part of the standing Army of the country, and what is now a hundred thousand men may be in the near future, without any greater change than that we have already seen, a million men, and it may be that within a very short time this feature of the bill, now so comparatively insignificant, may become the great dominating military feature in the legislation of this country.
Mr. President, it is too serious a matter for us to pass upon it as a part of the militia bill when it is not a part of it at all. I may be mistaken about it, I may be over apprehensive about such things, but I think it is an extremely grave proposition, an absolute departure from anything that has ever been seen in the Government of the United States heretofore, when you say that a part of the citizen soldiery of the country shall become a part of the Regular Army of the United States, subject to the call of the President of the United States, not subject in any manner to State law, not officered by the States, and in no particular subject to the control or call of the governor of the State.
It will not do to say there is no danger in this because it can only be done when Congress authorizes it. Congress will have already authorized it when you pass it. Whenever you pass this bill there is a law upon the statute books by which it is available at the call of the President of the United States.
