Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-06-26

ONE of the worst features of the pen
sion system is the utter lack of uni
formity in it's administration. @rhc Bos-
ton Record gives prominence to the
letter of correspondent in Leverett
Mass, who cites these facts as within his
personal knowledge: "Onc man who is
able to do two days work in one is al
lowed $12 per month, while another
who can do half a days work and suf-
fers almost everything gets only SO.
One man in neighboring town is alp
lowed $72 per month for total blindness;
still he can do fine piece of work and
can drive horse and wagon as near a
crack as the next man; can See about as
well now as he could before he entered
the service" The letter concludes with
this remark: "There is neither Justice
nor honor in the pension office is the
testimony of many men who were the
best of soldiers" One aspect of the
matter which this correspondent does
not touch upon is the fact that every
case of excessive payment offers a pre-
MUM upon misrepresentation so us to
secure larger allowances on the part of
those who are not getting so much as
the unduly favored pensioner.
