PENSION

The mora thoroughly the report
Of the Commissioner of Pensions
is XXI miotd, the more thoroughly
disguised and outraged the tax
payers of this country must be-
come. The report sh ,ws that
forty years after TIE beginning of
the war there are upon the role
1,041,3 21 pensioners, he largest
ever recorded! During the year
1922 names wee aided sni
1886 dropped, Having a net gain
of 4 336. The actual emount paid
out during the year fot pensions,
exclusive of the operating ex-
pepses of the P nsion Bureau,
was $I38, 531,483!
One of the most startling state
ments is that the fees paid to
pension attorneys aggregated
1891, 245, being an increase o.
1873, 1858. The repeated renewal
of rejected claims adds TO the
cost Of medical examination, and
the Government is put to the tx
psnse of at least S. for every ex-
animation.
Ia speaking of the abuse in this
direction the COMMISSIONER says:
To my annual report for 1898 it
was shown where one man was
subjected to four test medical ex-
aminations practically within "a
hours before four different med
ical boards, and be was rated
from nothing 70, IS, 81, S24) to
S24 per month, no two Of the
boards agreeing and all acting
under the same Instructions"
Other instances Of the same
character are cited to show the
utter inemaiency of such boards.
