Pension Reform,


Editor Morning Nelcs: As an ex-federal
soldier and one OF the few who have not yet
been paid any pension money. l have read
with much interest what the News has said
editorially on the pension question. Having
given much attention to the pension laws
passed in the interest Of the federal soldiers
of the late war, may be Dardoned for say
ing that the question of pension reform, "
as you term it, is one that presents graver
difficulties than the masses OF the people are
aware.
In the first place, there is a prevailing i'm
preston among the uninformed that PEN
sion Is a gift, and that its existence is
wholly dependent upon the will OF the gov
ernment This is erroneous. 1t represents a
matured claim, and when once issued. 1t as =
sumes the existence of vested right. and
the holder can be Invested of it only by due
process Of law.
A pension certificate occupiesl the same
legal status as a title deed. issued to claim
ant under the homestead act to l40 acres of
land. They are both issued upon submis-
sion Of final proof and the soldiers claim
becomes at once invested with all the es-
sential conditions of a contract, and cons
gress Is restrained by constitutional law
from annulling a contract. That there
are thousands receiving pensio IS fraudu-
granted. The same charge with equal JUS
tice has been made against every pension
law passed in this country. and thousands
have and are still being sent to prison for
violations Of pension laws.
see but one way to inaugurate your
pension reform" and that is to authorize
the creation of courts of inquiry. aud every
pensioner whose claim and condition does
not bring him inside the provision OF the
pension laws should have his name taken
from the roll. But in doing this he should
be treated as any other wrong-doer. Let
him have an open trial. Let him be oon-
fronted by his acousers aud the right of
defense. But any action In this direction
would be unjust ana partisan in It's charac-
ter unless these Investigations covered the
entire list of pensioners. IL should not be
forgotten that there is on the pension roll
OF the nation over 80 900 names of soldiers
and widows Of the war of 1912 and the
Mexican war, and then the retired judges
and members OF the life saving service aud
nurses of the late war.
Now an examination OF the pension roll
reveals the fact that the larger number Of
pensioners of the late war are widows and
dependent children. / don't think it is
right to saddle upon the federal soldier all
the sins of this pension business. He should
have due credit for the gallant service he
rendered the country In the hour of its
greatest need. And any attempt to under
rate It's value Is a strike at national patri-
ottsm and an insult to the proud record Of
the American soldier.

an encouraging increase In the wealth Of
the colored population of this county since

sober and industrious. They have built
good schools and church buildings. Their

four churches and two high schools. The
better element Of them appreciate the
efforts OF the whites TO keep barrooms out
Of this county, and in the recent dry and
