NEW SOLDIER SERVICE PENSION LAW
Many Civil War Veterans Availins
Them selves OF il.

Wisconsin veterans of the civil war
are s..ailing themselves of the right to
increases of pensions which is given to
them by the provisions of the McCum-
ber law, which was passed by congress
and approved by the president. c. II.
Russell, pension clerk in the Office of
Adit. Gen. Boardman, has already re-
ceived large number of applications
for increases from veterans, but he
says there are a great many old soldiers
in the state who are entitled to addi-
tional pensions who are probably yet
unaware of the new law. He desires
to bring the results of this law to the
material benefit of all old soldiers af-
feeted by it, as soon as practicable.
Moreover, he desires it to be known
that the veterans will get quicker ac-
tion on their applications and will sooner
and more surely come into enjoyment
of the increases of pension to which
they are entitled il they will make
their application to the state pension
Office at Madison, in connection with
the adjutant generals department.
The McCumber law provides that all
old soldiers entitled 70 pensions shall
upon reaching the age of 81 years re-
eeive S12 a month. When they reach
the age of 20 years they are entitled
to SIS month and when they get to
rs wears old they are entitled under
this law 10 $40 inontfl
The Wisconsin state pension office
has the best record of all the states of
the union in the matter of getting quick
and favorable action on pension appli-
cations. This arises in no small part
to the care and exactness with which
the applications are handled there.
