Although, as before stated, the Pres
ident did not veto the bounty eoualiz-
alton bill except by Withholding his
signature, he had prepared a pencil
draft of the veto message, but had not
copied it in time for transmission to
the House where the bill originated.
The reasons given in this draft were:
First. That it took from the Treasury
large amount of money at a time
when the revenue was insufficient for
current wants. Second. Because in
his opinion the soldiers for whose
benefit it was intended, would get but
a small portion, while claim agents
and middlemen would be the principal
beneficiaries.
