OPPOSES SERVICE
PENSION SCHEME
predatory" Says Army
and Navy Register"
THREATENS GOVERNMENT
"Pity Congress Cannot Afford to Sue
cessfully Oppose Such a Costly
Measure"

The Army and Navy Register" in it's
issue today viii print a long editorial
opposing the proposed service pension
scheme. 1t is entitled Predatory Legis-
lation." and saws:
"One Of the menaces threatening this
Government with opportune precipita
ton by its authors Is a service pension
bill. destined to add TO the pension roll
of the country So. $50 beneficiaries, at an
increase in the pension budget of $47,-
$4,000 per year. 1t has been stated, from
what must be respected as a reliable
source of information. that the scheme
originates with Gen. John c. Black,
the commander-in-chief of the G. A r..
who happens to be chairman of the
Civil Service Commission. and occultly
recognized by General Sickles as a
Presidential possibility
Selected Right Time
General Black recently appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Invalid
Pensions, accompanied by other mem
bers of the C. A. r.. and presented their
claims for this formidable raid upon the
public treasury. A few months prior TO
the national political conventions and
the approach TO what Promises TO be a
critical Presidential contest, offered the
best possible opportunity for cudgelling
Congress and the Chief Executive into
submission Of acquiescence in the face
of an exorbitant demand, which at one
swoop swells the pension bill OF this
Government by sum equal to one-half
OF the total amount appropriated for
the maintenance of the military estab-
lishment or the support of the navy.
''Of course those who are charged with
the harboring Of the financial resources
of this Government realize well enough
that service pension has all the ele-
ments OF a predatory visitation upon
the Government. The acuteness of the
political situation. however. does not
wholly deprive many of these guardians
| from exercising the power OF protection.
Cannot Be Ignored.
The suffrage influence back of the
demand for a service pension cannot be
ignored at this time. 1t must be treated
with respect IL not with alteration. The
excessive demand Will be honored as
something beneficial. and the elements
Of opportunity. influence and necessity
conspire TO crown the efforts OF the
raiders with success.
1T is a great pity that Congress can
not afford to oppose successfully a
measure which will add to our pension
expenditures the annual sum of $47-
