A Class by Themselves,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: A great
deal has been said about pensions and the
kind. While all are good, or intended that
way, yet there is one class of pensioners,
or. soldiers, that should be paid pensions.
Many of them find the white pass before
they are rewarded. 1 refer to those who
gave their best days for the cause. uncom-
planning, eyading the sick report and the
hospital, thus dropping the link in the
chain of evidence required by the Commits
sioner of Pensions to effect a favorable
adjudication. As a rule, these are long
time men, men that served through the
war and in the ranks at the front. How
Inconsistent, to place them side by side
with men who served 80 days or more. to
receive the same service pension for the
four years of hard service as against the
one who served 30 days. There should
be sense of justice and equality with the
service so rendered. Now, l would isug-
gest that 81 amounts for the first one
year. or part thereof. 81 for the next. Sc
for the next, SIS for the next. This in ad-
dItion to any pensions now received or to

upon the Post, and their removal makes
void which cannot be filed.

attendance but time ard old age are max

veterans see at least the color of one
pension check before they die.
l can't get along without The National

the old soldiers, and deserve their hearty
