CORPORAL TANNERS POLICY.
WASHINGTON, March y. -Corporal Tanner,
the newly-aI pointed Commissioner Of PEN
sions, when asked what policy he would pur-
sue in dealing with the Affairs of the bu-
reau said:
Il can lest answer that by quoting one OF
General Harrison remarks made during the
last campaign. He said Gentlemen, IL IS no
time 70 use The apOthecary's scales when you
come to weigh the services Cf the men who
saved this Nation 1t seems to me that that
is pretty good motto for all the people
OF the United States to ADOPT II
/ were asked 10 define my ideas on this
pension question IN a sentence, / should I'M
hesitatugly reply: "A pension for every sur
vivug sold er who needs one and 10 soldiers
widow, father or mother should be in want 1
am going 10 take hold OF this mighty machine,
and am not fool enough TO think have moth
ing to learn of its workings"
Are you in favor OF an increase in the SOL
diers' peasionsg'
II tell you frankly am opposed to these one
dollar. two dollars and three dollars month
pensions. II you are going to give man any
thing give him enough that ne may realize he
is getting something II there is an old soldier
who has got a claim that you are satisfied is
good one aad he has not quite proved II, my
policy is TO assist him 10 secure that proof
You may say that am opposed 10 knocking
out soldiers claims because Of technical
shortcoming."
