The following resolutions were adopted by
John J. Stiglman Post, g. a. r., No. 49, De-
partment Of Iowa, December 1, 1888, Waukon,
Iowa:
Whereas the Hon John r. Thomas member of
Congress FROM Illinois as appears IN THE Ma
TF5s ~ T,,Is4-,5 Of Nveyller Is ISs has nIefe,ed
himself to introduce into the coming session OF
Congress bill granting pension Of = per month
10 every man who served thirty days IN the army,
and who was at least once exposed to an eneny's
fire in the war Of the rebellion: Now, therefore,
be It
Department Of Iowa, believe such bill to be just
and right; that its effect would be to place upon
the pension rolls deserving applicants without the
expense OF pension attorneys, medical examining
boards, special examiners, secret detectives and
large clerical force in the Pension Office; that it
would give relief to that large class Of veterans
who were disabled in the service and for reasons
beyond their control cannot furnish the meCli-
cal and other testimony required by The Pension
Department TO enable them to get what Is their
honest due; that it would reduce the expense now
attending the Pension Department and very much
simplify its whole business, and do justice to every
body.
Resoired, That our Iowa Senator'S and Repre-
sentatiyes IN Congress be requested to cooperate
with any movement thst may be made toward
carrying out the object sought in the proposed BILL
ReSolved, That the Adjutant be requested to for
ward copy of these resolutions to the Iowa Sena-
