prepa ring a secure place in which to keep
the records OF 9solSiers for use by their
widows after their death. has met with
hearty and general welcome. 1t is some
thing that appears to have been long de-
sired by great numbers of comrades, and
they are promptly availing themselves of
the opportunity ~
This shows them to be men of prudence
and foresight. !, None of us know when
death will overtake us. and every right feel
ing man is animated by desire to do
everything in his power for the benefit Of
those he leaves behind, particularly the
widow whose companionship and love have
been everything to him. Bereft of him, her
lot will be a lonely one, indeed, and he
naturally wants to do everything possible
to soften it. BY preparing and depositing
in some secure place, where it can be in
stantly accessible, full statement of his
military service, he has taken the wisest
way to facilitate his widow getting from
the Government the pension which is due
her. and which she may very sorely need
when he is gone. 1t costs nothing to do
this, because THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is
glad to get these papers and care for them
as a part of it's work for the veterans. 1t
has faithfully served them for the past
quarter of a century, in countless ways, as
they all know and this is q part Of the

Belle, widow of
Harvey Reed.
Co. b, 5th Pa. III. A.
Bureau of Pensions,
Office of the Commissioner,
June %, 1904.
This widow filed a claim for pension
under the Act Of June q, 1890, as
amended.
The claim was rejected February, 1904,
on the ground Of On-dependence-that is
to say, it was held that she had an actual
net income exceeding. $3.50 per year over
and above the proceeds of her daily labor.
Her home is in Durango, Mexico, where
she owns house and land which yields
her q gross income of $3.50 in Mexican
silver dollars. This is her only property.
1t therefore appears that her income is in
excess of $3.50 counted in Mexican money;
but this Bureau must take notice of the
fact that a Mexican dollar is worth less
than one-half Of an American dollar, and
the claimants gross income reduced to
the value of a dollar of the United States
that is to say, to the gold dollar-is
about $500.
The United States is on the gold basis,
and its obligations are payable in money
equivalent to gold. Pensions are payable
in the equivalent of gold dollars. If PEN
sioner lives in Mexico the Government
cannot rightfully pay that pensioner in
Mexican dollars.
The obvious intent Of the law concern
ing dependence is that the actual net in
come which defines the widows depend
ence means $50 gold dollars.
1t is suggested that 250 Mexican dol
lars would buy as much Of the necessaries
of life in Mexico as go gold dollars would
buy in the United States; but the Bureau
cannot accept that theory, because if the
rule were varied In that regard 1t must
be varied in countries where the pur-
chasing power might be very much less,
and where $3.50 would not buy as much
as in the United States.
The only true Interpretation Of the rule
must be that the line Of dependence is
$50 gold dollars, and no matter In what
country the claimant may live the rule
must be the same. 1t 10 the dollar OF the
United States that is referred to and not
any other thing, whatever it may be,
which is called dollar but which is not
an American dollar.
therefore direct that the claim bs
taken up and adjudicated upon the theory
that the widow 10 dependent.
