Department of War, Dec 26, 1928.
Sir-The present practice of your office
in regard to the amount of property which
under the law of May LIST, 1890, shall dis
qualify person from receiving a pension
Is deemed to be unequal in its operation on
different classes of applicants: To correct
which inequlity, the following rules will
hereafter be observed.
The object of the pension law is to, pro.
vide for the absolute wants of the poor, but
meritorious, soldier of the Revolution and
the highest rate of pension is supposed tc
be the smallest sum that will afford com
Portable support to an individual. In ac-
cordance with this principle, the following
rule has been adopted by the department
and is hereby continued, viz: 1st. When
the whole property of the applicant consists
in yearly or fixed income, (such as an an
nuity for life, bequest, rent or charges upon
lands, or any other incorporeal right which
is not convertible into capital, he shall moi
be deprived of a pension, unless such yearly
income exceed the full yearly pension of a
soldier. In addition to which, the following
rules corresponding in principle, are here
by established.
2. When the applicants property con-
sists in money, stock, houses, lands, or such
other property as he can at pleasure con-
vert into money or capital, it shall not de-
prve him of the right of pension, unless its
yearly proceeds, estimating them at ten
per cent. on its total value shall be equal to
the amount of full pension.
3. When the applicants property is mix
ed, and consists of both species, he shall
not lose his pension, unless their aggregate
income, estimating by the preceding rules,
shall amount to fnll yearly pension.
AS the Pension Laws of 1918 and 1870
are not predicated on any preex,sting en-
gagement of the Government, but were i'll
tended as a gratuitous provision for the
support of aged individuals, for the time be-
ing, the two last regulations will not be con-
sidered as retrospective in their operation.
To obtain the benefits arising from the
foregoing regulations, in every case where
a claim has been rejected under the former
regulations, new declaration is now deem
ed essentially necessary, in order to show
what is the present state of the claimants
property, and to prove his identity.
Very respectfully, your obedient servent,
P. B. PORTER.

WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY. JAN. %, 1929.

BANKS AND BANKING. We have examined
the Bill now before the Legislature to regulate
banks and banking, and find it to contain many
sautary and judicious regulations. We were
surprised, however, to find no provision to guard
against the frauds practised upon the State by
the employment of capital on which no bank
tax is paid. Thus, for instance, bank may be
incorporated with a capital of $5O0,000, and,
Immediately on going into operation, the stock
holders loan TO it $500, 900 more, for which they
receive bills or notes bearing interest 1t thus
becomes, to ak intents and purposes, bank of
one million dollars capital, and yet pays to the
State tax for but halfthe amount. The CAPT
tai of this kind employed by different banks in
the State, on the first of December, was 49,
7l4,262, the tax on which, would be $37 ,132 90,
but which is now evaded, and that amount lost
to the State. The banks employing the largest
amount of this kind of capital are, the City
g Bank in Boston, which has $663,O42, on which
the tax would be 5000, the American Bank
in Boston, which has 1874, POS, on which abe
tax would be $5,742,. and the State Bank in
Boston, which has $4,000, the tax on which
would be $3.50
We would not prevent the issuing of interest
notes, under suitable restrictions, but we would
have it provided that on them the same tax
shall be paid as on other bank capital ; other.
wise this, the only remaining productive source
of revenue to the State, may be essentially di.
minished, and few derive advantages in which
all are entitled to participation, if granted to
any.

THE MAILS. A very considerable, and, we
are constrained to add, in our opinion, very
unnecessary excitement has been produced in
Boston, relative to the arrangement, made by
the Postmaster General, for accellerating the
mails. Formerly, the mail from New York ar
rived at Boston at midnight, and the mail for
New York left at l o'clock, P. M. Now it ar.
rives at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and does moi
leave for New York till II o'clock in the even.
ing. One ground of complaint is, that so little
time intervenes between the arrival and closing
of the southern mail, Is hours) that it is fire.
quently inconvenient to answer letters by the
first returning mail after they are received
Admit that it is, if they go unanswered by the
first mail, the answer will still be as early as il
could be under the old arrangement, and more
than "a hours is allowed to do il in. But in =
case where an early answer is important, suAi
Gent time is allowed for it before the mai, clos
es, and one day is gained by the new arrange
ment. Another cause Of complaint is, that the
mail is sometimes delayed on the way, so thai
letters are not ready for delivery till an houi
or so after the usual time, which causes grea
inconvenience and vexation to those who sent
at the regular hour. To avoid this it is only
necessary to delay sending on hour or two ant
the letters will then be taoelUe hours earle
than heretofore, or they may be suffered to Ii
quietly in the Office till the next day, and still
be as seasonable as formerly, and more tim
will be left for answering them than was allow
ed then.
