The U. $. Pensions High Water Mark

The last Congress passed LOO special pen
sion bills and two acts which. 1t is esti-
mated will add 0oo0 pensioners to the rolls.
one of these acts is to pension the survi-
vors of the Indian wars, and the other is to
pension veterans who served In the Con-
federate service prior to their services IN
the Union army.
Congressional action has increased the
net number Of pensioners from 1911 5l9 In lS'S'
to 800 ii6 at the end of the last fiscal year.
The increase between these two dates was
very gradual. From 99l 500 in 1899 the num-
Der increased to 993,5l9 in 1900 to 997,1S5 in
1901, and to the number before mentiond IN
1902 1t is thought that this will prove TO
be the high water mark rs regards the
number of pensioners, because the old vet
Grams are fast dropping off. 1t is estimated
that the deaths next year Will be not less
than 10000. exceeding by 80 600 the probable
additions to the roll under the new acts.

cause is misrepresenting the situation with
reference to the referendum, the object be-
ing to discredit the position Of the Repub-

ton is not whether license shall be substl-
tuted for prohibition, but whether the peo-
ple shall have an opportunity to pass upon
the question of such substitution.
The carrying out of the republican plat
form or the boilers platform Will mean the
formulation of a bill providing for license
and local option to be submitted to the PEG
pie and not become a law without the sane
ton of majority OF the voters. The question
Of license VS.. prohibition will not be tested
in the coming legislature at all in accord

and boiling legislators will merely support
a measure providing for mandate of the
people on the issue.
