Therefore, according TO Col. Aims
worth, eighty years after the war and
forty eight years from the present time
the last survivor will be departing.
At present there are about 760, 900
survivors on the roll. This leaves
s35, 600 who might be added. A good
percentage of them probably will be
added under the present administration
In addition to survivors there are
219, 900 widows, etc. on the roll to
whom goes more than one third of the
$40, 600 600 annually appropriated.
The possibility of additions to this part
of the roll is not limited or in any way
influenced by the decrease of survivors.
We are still paying pensions to half a
dozen widows of soldiers of the Revo-
luton. And as fast as the survivors
die of the advocates Of heavy taxes and
liberal appropriations will add the
widows to the roll. So that there is no
reason why we should not be paying as
much more Tor pensions ten or even
twenty years from now as we are pay
ing today.
Col Ainsworth says that the NOR
tality among old soldiers is not greater
but much less than among the average
of men. He accounts for this by the
laws which give them preference in
public employment, by the soldiers
homes where life is carefully prolonged,
by the posts and other benevolent
organizations that look after the wants
of the sick and needy, and finally and
chiefly by the superior advantages his
pension gives the old soldier over the
ordinary citizen.
