This is an action brought by Alvin W. Dudley, a captain in the Indiana National Guard, against the State of Indiana, to recover what is termed “longevity” pay, or, in other words, extra pay for longevity service. The complaint shows that the appellee received all the pay to Avhieh he was entitled as such officer, except said longevity pay, when called into the service of the State by the Governor, at Fontanet, in October, 1907, at a time of public danger.
