Cleveland Leader.

We copy the following good-tempered and
well-reasoned article from this valuable paper.
So far it goes it is correct and its conclusions
are fairly stated. But if the Leader will notice
our article of this issue he will see that the evils
OF the law are far greater than he has on his
examination found them, and in the interest OF
pensioners and pension claimants he will with
us demand its early repeal
Our attention has been invited to apparent inaccuracies
in article published few days ago copied from the
teegraphc correspondence of the New York TriBae with
request that them The new law therein re-
ferred to is as follows, TO wit:
IAN act relating to claim agents and attorneys III PEN
sion
" Be IL enacted 6y the Senate and Hoase Of ReDreseato
tires of The United States Of aaeica Congress assembled
L. 1t shall be unlawful for any attorney agent or other
person to demand receive for his in pension
greater than dollars. No fee contract shall
hereafter be filed with the Commissioner of Pensions in
any In pending cases which fee contract has
heretofore been fled il the pension shall be allowed the
Commissioner of Pensions shall approve the same as to the
amount specified in the contract Sections 4f6S 4169
claim hereafter fled any pending claim in
which the claimant has not been represented by agent
or attorney prior TO the passage of this act
SEc. 3 Section 41s5 of the Revised Statutes hereby
Approved June 10, ls7s.n
tdoes apper from careful reading of this law that
the fee allowed an attorney is dependent upon the allow
ance claim the contrary the reneaed portions
those which provided that the fee was only due in case
of success and that should be deducted by the agent for
paying pensions and 10 the attorney The fee not be-
ing contingent one, may be demanded at any time True
the law does aot require that be paid advance vet
nevertheless an attorney demands it, we do not see how
claimant can compel rendering of the service desirable
and necessary to the adjustment of the claim Practically
then would seem that those who have claims to be pros
ecued must pay the fee in advance if it demanded or
accept the alternative of not having it prosecuted at all
IN this view we not quite certain that claimants are
benefited by the order of things the extent that
might otherwise appear j8if #.f@
certain classes claims cannot ba
prosecuted for the small fee now allowed If THAI is true
deserving claimants in may be practically en-
rey deprived of the privilege of avang themselves of
their rights under the pension laws
We desire TO every soldier have whatever the laws
permit to him. and favor neither law or a policy
which works TO his disadvantage
