HISTORY OF PENSIONS
SYSTEM WAS INAUGURATED IN
UNITED STATES IN 1776.
First General Law Was Enacted in
1862-Believed Payments Have
Reached Highest Notch.

The United States pays more for pensions
annually than does any other half-dozen
governments in the world, and yet this is
not strange when it is considered that I'M
der a monarchial form of government re-
wards may be conferred by the crown.
Uncle Sam has no prerogatives. His au-
thority is so restricted and limited that he
cannot confer a single dollar of the people S
money upon an individual, no matter how
meritorious his case may be, without au-
thority from Congress. Notwithstanding
this fact, the United States is more liberal
in the distribution of it's bounties to it's de-
tenders than any nation.
The pension system of this country, which
has grown to such enormous proportions,
was inaugurated in 1776 when the Cont
mental Congress resolved that all officers
who should continue in the service until
the end of the war should receive half pay
for seven years after peace was establish
ed. In 1850 the provisions of this law were
extended to the widows and orphans of
those who died in the service.
The half pay for seven years was extended
to half pay for life, and subsequently COM
muted to full pay for five years. Pensions
were granted under this law amounting to
$50, 100 year, and increased until 1871,
when they reached the then enormous sum
of $115,313SS. Between 1898 and 1913 a

ice should be provided for at public ex-

Decrease From 1871 to 1907.

From 1871 to 1907 there was gradual de-
crease, until the pension expenditures
amounted to only $4,000. Under various
legislative enactments the pension roll in
creased until 1916, when it amounted to
$3.50, O55.72. On March /, 1917, Congress au-
thorized the issuance Of additional pen
sions, and in 1918 the pension payments
amounted to s426, $50.
Thirty-five years after the close of the
revolution further extension occurred by
which pensions were granted to all survi-
vors of the war, who, for any reason, stood
in need of pecuniary assistance. Under the
provisions of this law the pension payments
reached the million-dollar mark for the
first time in the history of the government
amounting, in 1875 to 81, 2133 24.
The following year the increase reached
another million, and then 1t was that the
general public became alarmed In re-
Spouse to the general clamor in May, 1920
Congress passed what was known as the
alarm act" which required all pensioners
on the rolls to furnish a schedule of the
amount of property then in their possession

TRICK THAT FAILED.
Man Who Supplied Dinner Was Able
to Change Bill.

"Once upon time," said a member of
Pennsylvania post, after a weary, dusty
forenoon march, we halted to rest for an
hour or two. A sfftg looking farm house
being invitingly near, couple of my COM
rades went over and called for dinner Their
names were Theodore and Levi, and their
united finances a three-cent stamp and a
pewter dime. Theodore said he knew a
dodge that never failed, and that they
would get dinner. You see, Theodore was
raised in Philadelphia and just took as
naturally to cuteness as baby does to
measles. Well the dinner was in due sea-
cooked and eaten and was pronounced
good.
Now, landlord, said Theodore, pulling
out his purse with the air of millionaire,
what's the bill?' One dollar for both of
YOU said the man of the house. Very rea-
sonable-very, remarked Theodore, in a
patroniZing way. I say, landlord, you
couldn't change a twenty-dollar biil?' Wal,
yes, 1 reckon-let's see what bank it's on
was the answer For an instant Theodore
stood as though deathstruck and then
both broke away though the whole south
ern confederaey was after them, exclaim-
ing: We'll, who'd suppose that a rebel
could change twenty-dollar bill?''

erected by comrades of the Grand Army
at cost of $4,000. the pedestal being pro-
vided at cost of half that amount by Con-
gress The statue was dedicated Novem-
Der 10, 1879.
The equestrian statue erected to General
James B. Mcpherson by the Army of the
Tennessee is in Mcpherson Square at the
intersection of Vermont avenue and l
street. The statue is colossal in size. The
bronze was obtained from cannon donated
by Congress. The statue is fourteen feet
high and was unveiled in 1876. On that
occasion Gen. John A Logan delivered the
Grafton. General Sherman called the audi
ence to order. The propriety of erecting
this statue in Clyde, Ohio, General Nc
Phersons birthplace, was discussed, the
original purpose being to erect it there,
where his remains are inferred. Wiser
counsels ultimately prevailed, and the ma
tional capital was determined upon as being
the proper place for the memorial.
The statue Of Gen. John A. Rawlins, chief
CT staff of Gen. Grant in 1865 and Secretary
Of War in 1860, Is located in small Fri
angular plot formed by the intersection Of
Pennsy lvania avenue Louisiana avenue

Rawlins in a standing position in the uni

size and was cast from cannon captured
during the civil war. The friends of Gen.

4 The equestrian statue of Gen. Hancock is
at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and It'll street, one of the busiest
if not the busiest section of the city, where
swarms of passersby daily have an oppor-
tunity to view the work of art. This statue
was formally inaugurated in May, 1896,
President Cleveland opening the ceremonies
with brief address. This monument was
erected by a special appropriation made by
Congress, amounting to $780, 900.

Early Statues.

The statues in this city represent heroes
of all the was in which the United States
has been engaged except the last the war
with Spain. Washington and Greene rep
resent the revolution, Jackson the war of
1912, Scott the war with Mexico, and sew
eral others that have been referred to the
civil war
very great interest is attached to the
equestrian statue of Jackson in Lafayette
Park. 1t IS the first statue still standing
that was erected in the United States. The
hrst equestrian statue in what now forms
the United States was erected in ITO, rep
resenting George III of England. On the
9Th of July, 1176, this statue was torn
down by an angry mob. 1t stood in the
reservation at the foot of Broadway in
New York city. 1t was made of lead ard
furnished 42,OSS ball cartridges for the
revolutionary patriots. There is only one
equestrian statue on the American CONT
nent older than that of Jackson 1t is In
the City of Mexico. 1t is an effigy of
Charles ~ and was erected in 1903
The statue of Jackson was inaugurated

erty to the amount of $3.50 There are now
pensioners on the rolls who own property to
the amount of more than 100000
Under the operations of this law the pay
ments dropped TO more than 81 900 coo
within year. However, this law proved
unpopular. and. in 1922, Congress passed
a law giving pensions to invalids to the
communication pensioners and to the widows
and orphans. AS result of this act the
pension payments again climbed up rapidly
July I, 1892, forty-nine years after the
close OF the war, a general law was enacted
penslon1ng all survivors who served not
less than six months in the revolutionary
war, and again the payments ran up rapid
ly.
Pension Laws Were Delayed.
1t is singular fact that nearly all PEN
sion enactments became a law years after
the close of the war for which they were
intended. The first law granting pensions
for services In the war Of 1872 was passed
February IA. 1871, f1fty-siX years after the
close of the war. 1t was not until June %,
1887. thirty-nine years after the war with
Mexico, that the first act granting pensions
to the survivors was passed. No provision
was made for the survivors of the Black
Hawk, Creek, Cherokee and Florida wars
with the Seminole Indians until July, 1892.
The first general pension law was en-
acted July IA, 1862, in which it was pro-
Vided that any officer soldier sailor or ma
rine disabled by reason of wounds or dis
ease contracted in the service of the United
States and in the line of duty might be
pensioned for such dsa bity during its con-
tinuance. 1t was also provided that in case
of his death from causes originating as
above set forth his widow or children might
receive pensions.
Subsequent laws, enacted down to and in
Guiding 1890, further extended the system so
as to include all soldiers and sailors who
had been honorably discharged, who were
suffering from wounds received or disease
contracted, and also made provisions for
their widows and orphans. 1t is interesting
to note that from 1T91 to 1876, a period OF
eighty-six years, the total pension payments
amounted to only $33S, 376 CSC
1t is believed that the pension payments
have about reached the highest notch and
the roll Will begin to go down. The old SOL
diers are dropping off, passing to the other
shore widows are remarrying and minors
attaining their majority. Consequently
there must necessarily follow decrease in
the pension roll.

one ofathe most interesting Of the group Of
equestrian figures in this city. It was I'M
yelled in April, 1901. with interesting cere-
monies by the Grand Army. 1t represents
seven years of labor on! the part of the
sculptor, Franklin Simmons. The statue
was provided by an act Of Congress appro-
prating $4,000 for 1t. The Grand Army
raised a fund of $4,000 for the purchase Of
a statue. A distinctive feature of the work
is that the pedestal is of bronze. The pedes-
tai is twenty feet high. ! On it's west face
is a group representing Gen. Logan in con-
sultation with leading officers in the Army
of the Tennessee. In this group are portrait
bronzes of Gems Dodge, Hazen, Slocum,
Leggett, Mower and Blair and Capt Strong.
On the east face of the pedestal is group
representing Gen. Logan in the act of TAX
ing the oath of office as United States SEN
ator, which is being administered by Vice
President Arthur. In this group are por-
trait bronzes of Senators Callom, Evarts.
Conkling, Morton, Miller, Voorhees, and
Thurman. The south side Of the pedestal
is embellished with an allegorical figure If
War, and at the north face there is an
other figure of Peace.f The statue rises
