Important Pension Decision.

There is one, Justice Long, who is
a judge sitting on the supreme court
bench in Michigan, who was a Union
soldier. By some means he succeeded
in getting a pension amounting to about
$40 per month, although he was per-
fectly able to perform his labors as
supreme court justice. Commissioner
Lochren of the pension bureau cut this
pension down. Justice Long manda-
unused the commissioner to compel him
to put the pension at the same figure it
had been before the cut, claiming that
the right to demand the pension was a
vested right.
The Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia June 6 handed down
an opinion in the case, reversing the
decision of Judge Bradley of the Dis
trict Circuit Court, which denied the
right Of the commissioner of pensions
to reduce Judge Longs pension and
directed the commissioner to restore it
to its original figure.
This is the most important pension
case that has ever come before the
courts, involving, as it does, hundreds
of cases where pensions were reduced
in amount by order of the commits
sioner. The Court of Appeals held that
the right to grant pensions was not a
permanent vested right, which could
not be reversed by the commissioner
making the grant, or any of his prede-
cesSors.
According to the courts decision, the
executive authorities of the pension
bureau may reverse, suspend, or alter in
any way a pension granted by their
predecessors, and each commissioner
has the power to examine and change
a pension allowed by his office. The
decision permits the commissioner of
pensions to pay Judge Long only at the
rate to which his pension was reduced.
An appeal will probably be taken to the
United States Supreme Court.
