Secretary Scslnrz on the Pension
system.

HIS LETTER TO CONGRESS- URGING A CHANGE.
The Secretary Of the Interior has sent to the
Senate and House of Representatives letter
urging the consideration Of proposed changes in
the present er pdrte system provided for the ad-
justment Of pension claims, with a view to de-
creasiDg the facility with which fraudulent and
unmeritOriOuS claims may be prosecuted. At
tentiOn is called to the unprecedented activity
shown in presenting Gains under the incite-
ment OF the arrears act. 1t Is estimated TIL
there are upwards OF l 1000, 900 living persons
who have been In the service, but have never
apl ed for PENSIONS There seems to be a gem
erai movement among them in the direction Of
the Pension office. This activity, when taken
In connection with the fact that despite every
effort to settle them, the file OF undetermined
case constantly Incl easeG must inevitably over
Whelm the bureau under the present system
W lille the honest claimant Will too often be
deprived OF his rights, because he Is too con-
ScientiouS to manufacture testimony. the gov
eminent will be defrauded by the more unScru-
puOuS. 1t is among the most sacred Obltga-
tons OF the government to fulfill promptly it's
promises to those who were disabled in its SER
vice or rendered dependent by It's casualties,
but In the present condition of legislation it IS
impossible for the department to execute either
promptly or properly the will OF Congress in this
direction. The Secretary then gives an outline Of
the changes in the system proposed by the
commissioner of Pensions, published in his an
nual report for three years, and OF the course
of proceedings under the new system, shows
that it will remedy the evils complained Of and
answers objections TO it, which, he thinks, 'are
urged either by those who have not appreciated
the evils and embarraSSmentS of the present
sy stem, or have not understood the operation
Of the plan, or by others known to be inter-
ested In the continuance of the present system,
out Of which they are receiving an income in
tie shape OF fees The Secretary thinks that
''1he expenses OF adjusting claims under this
plan will not exceed the present annual eXpen
dtures for the same purpose, and after the eX
piratiOn CT three or four years. within which
period the accumulated claims Will have been
disposed OF and the business of the bureau
brought up to date will be very much less than
the present expenditure. The publicity Of the
proceedings, added to the scrutiny given the
case by the surgeon and clerks, would, In my
judgment, be sufficient protection to the gov
erDment against fraudulent and unmeritOrlOuS
Claims and while the simple and direct meth
OdS OF the plan would greatly increase the
facilities OF the meritOTiOuS claimant to obtain
speedy settlement or his case and thereby
protect his interest, they would be an obstacle
only in the way OF those who attempt to de-
fraud the government
