Spanish war;" remarked State Pension
Agent E. c. Milliken, Saturday. The
fact of the case is that | have had 24S1
applications for State aid, this year,
which is within one of 200 more than
last year. In consequence | have had
to discriminate more finely and DO
more searching for the real necessity,
than heretofore. 1 have assisted two
widows of Spanish war veterans, thus
far Some of the claims of the soldiers,
| however, l investigated and found that
! they were not so badly in need as some
| Of the widows and veterans of the Civil
war"
Il suppose your work is increasing,
year after year, colonel, even though
the time Of the Civil war is getting to
be farther and farther in the back
| ground suggested the Journal
Yes, there is a large increase For
example: In 1898. there was about 1900
applications for State aid, and we had
| $65, 600 to aid them with Compare that
/ with the present condition when We
| have 22S7 petitions for aid and have
| but ST, 900 with which to aid them. The
increase in the money appropriated for
this department does not compare with
the ratio of the applications increase"
will any of the Philippine veterans
be eligible to State aid, in case they
are wounded and return to their homes
in this Statc?"
mo, they cannot call for one cent
from this department. and if they did,
| would not have the right to give il
Ia them. The State aid goes only 1"
those who serve in Names quota. ANA
Maine has no quota "a fill. Df tho 200
men. who | will venture to say can b.
found in the Philippines. today. not onc
can bring any claim upon the State
Names. This is true also. Of thns.|
