It IS said that the Addicksites are
over icyed at thae selection Of Henry

Gasman and his followers regard Mr..
Payne as a practical politician in a
much more complete sense than is the

When Will the National Pension Roll
Come to an EudY

When Will the National Pension Roll
Come to an EndY
A pension official In Washington has
been trying to figure how long 1t will be
before the national pension roll comes
to an end. He practically admits that
he Is unable to solve the problem,
owing to the fact that there Is a differ
ence from year to year In the increase
and decrease Of pensions, and there are
also the Spanish war pensions to be
considered, for which. outside Of the
Philippine service. there have already
been filed twothirds as many applica-
lions as there were troops atually en-
gagged In the war. According to his
figures. there We're ut the close Of the
year total OF Y03.52O names on the
roll. an increase OF 2.O1O from the pre-
ylous year. During that year the
names Of 43334 pensioners were drop
ped from the list. but this was more
than Offset by the 1924 that were add
cd. 4,609 OF these being names restored
that had been previously dropped for
various reasons. says the Boston Her
aid. He then figured that II there was
no increase at all aud an annual aver
age decrease OF $1,000 a year. the pen
sion roll would be- exhausted In about
twcnty-three years, or In 1924. As
throwing a little light on the question
the statistics Of the Mexican war pen,
sioners may be quoted. This war ended
tlfty-five years ago. and yet there are
today 1882 survivors on the roll. as
well as S,l5l widows, with total num-
Der OF heneficlaries amounting to l6..
AGA. while on June 50. 1900. there was
still on the pension list one survivor
and Lac widows of the war of 1912.
Ii the civil war pensions and those for
the Spanish war are to run on anything
like the same tate. the present century
will be more than half gone before
there Is any promise of the wiping out
Of oil pensions resulting from our wars

brought disaster to large proportion
Of the settlers, and when the price OF
wheat fell thousands abandoned their
farms, being unable to support them
selves and pay high interest on their
mortgages. The people who are now
pouring into the Northwest are all ex-
perienced farmers, and they have mon
ey with which to buy good lands and
maintain themselves comfortably until
they can harvest profitable crops.
There is every reason to believe good
times are In store for the farmers OF
the West and Northwest. The enor-
nous Increase in the cultivated acreage
that followed the great invasion of the
Western States caused long period OF
low prices for farm products. especially
for wheat. but for several years popu-
Luton growth has been out Of all pro-
portion to the growth Of productive
