The proposal before Congress to abolish
the eighteen U. S. pension agencies, and
transferring that duty to the treasury depart
ment, 10 causing among the pensioners and
others much talk and criticism, and Is such
plan can but result in great delay-of weeks
and months-in the payment of these pen
sions to the detrment of the pensioner with
out any benefit, it 10 believed to the govern
ment, many Of the Posts Of the G.. A. r. are
taking action in the matter of protesting
against the contemplated change. An i'm
portant element of value in the pensions
received BY disabled, and in most cases, needy
soldiers, is the promptnsss of the payment of
each quarter and many doubt if the present
system can be improved or . saving made to
the government. Already, the Post at Booth
bay, Weld Sargent Post, No. 80, at its regu-
lar meeting Thursday night, voted unani-
mously that any change from the pres
ent efficient system OF paying pensioners,
would in their judgments be predjudical to
the interests, both of the government aud the
pensioners. Should not those most interested
take the matter under consideration, and
besides passing resolutions. send to Congress
petitions protesting against the proposed
change?
