WHOLE NUMBER 1907.
THE PENSION LIST.
still slightly Increasing i'm Num-

The Commissioner of Pensions in
his annual report for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, the current year,
gives these figures:
There were added to the rolls dur
ing the year 4O,074 new pensioners,
and there were restored 1878, who
had previously been dropped, a total
of 44,24S. During the same period
the losses were 29,393 by deaths and
LII by remarriage (widows), 1854
by legal Limitation (minors). 1852 be-
cause of failure to claim pension for
three years, and 1928 for other
causes, an aggregate of 1903. The
net gain over the previous year was
only l54, and it may be safely as
sumed that the roll forthwith will
show a marked and steady diminu-
ton, unless Congress should enact
still more liberal provisions than are
now upon the statute books. The
whole number of pensioners on the
roll June 80, 1896, was 970,6S7.
While the rolls show slight gain
in numbers over the year Immediately
preceding, the amount disbursed for
pensions was $l3S,2l4,761, a decrease
of 81 ,592, ,155, as compared with the
previous year. There were 456, ,665
pension claims pending at the close
of the fiscal year, 234,377 being APP
plications for increase made by per-
sons now on the rolls.
Although last years estimate of
$40, 100000 for pensions was $780,
62O more than was necessary for the
past fiscal year, the Commissioner
duplicates the estimate for the next
fiscal year, stating that he believes
that adjudication of many items will
make the full amount necessary. 1t
is his intention to push the settle
ment of cases as rapidly as possible.
An estimate OF 81, ,22S, $50 is made for
miscellaneous expenses.
Regarding the revision of the pen
sion list, the Commissioner says:
"There is no foundation for the er-
roneous impression that it is the in
tention still further to revise the lists,
as the purging of the rolls commenced
in 1898 has been entirely accomplished.
1t ought to be understood, however,
that there still exists the purpose to
maintain the pension roll as the ma
tons roll of honor"
Concerning prosecutions he says
Offenders against the pension laws
have been so vigorously prosecuted
during the past three years that the
criminal work of the law division has
been materially lessened. Through
the combined effort of the law divis.
ion and the special examination di-
vision, there has been refunded to the
United States during the year $780,
9S2, of which $lO,726 was recovered as
the outcome of the civil suits. Dur.
ing the year 339 indictments were
found. and there were 242 recommen.
mendations for prosecution. The
number of sentences was 160, and SO
offenders against the pension laws
were taken into custody.
He recommends an increase of ST.
per month of pensions to widows o
officers and soldiers who died from
causes or in the service prior to March
4, 1861. He recommends the passage
of the bill pending in Congress for the
codification of the pension laws.
