A MiSnOfner.

Editor National Tribune: I wish to
express thru your columns my hearty
approval of the new pension law. Any
law that gives the old vets a little more
aid and assistance in their declining
years has my sincere appreciation, but
one feature of the law Is palpably
wrong, and that is its name or title. 1t
is heralded as Service Pension law,
while its provisions are in no sense or
the term for service. = II 1T was SER
vice pension. the veterans who receive
$50 or $50 for total disability. or s72
for helplessness. would receive an in
crease of pension for Gtheir service as
well as the 90 days man, or any man
who was not disabled. 1.-THE men whom
this new law does not affect, because
of the amount they now receive for dis
ability, are men who served two, three
or four years, and they have never. re-
ceived a dollar pension for their SER
vice. They were givenDtheir pension to-
in some degree equaliZe them in the
battle of life with theVman who were
not wounded or disabled in the service.
If the veterans who served three and
four years are not to sbe1 benefited by
the law, how can it be azService Pen
sion law? Let Congress enact an adj
ditional clause to this e.sett A"Fhis bill
is a law intended to partly equaliZe the
pensions of those not disabled with the
disable veterans of the Union Army

Editor National Tribune: While the
McCumber tension bill will prove .
great boon to many who Aave. failed TO
prove up their claims to the satisfAc-
ton OF the Pension. n BpHeau, IL still
leaves untouched The very vital feature
of equalizing the pensions Of soldiers
widows ~ ar,-s, ~.-.r..-.-.-
that no widow OF soldier drawing q
pension under that act shall be entitled
to pension should she have an in
come exceeding $3.50 per annum at her
husbands death, Is radically unjust,
and IT is difficult to End any good or
equitable reason for making such q
distinction between soldiers widows,
who are not barred BY remarriage. as
deeds of valor or the disabilities Incl
dent to the service can not. and should
not, have any pecuniary bearing on the
rights of the widow. all being equally
meritorious in the eyes Of the law.
Neither can it be substantiated that
those under the law of 1890 are one
whit less meritorious than those under
the old law. The records will show that
the percentage of those who served three
years. or the full term of their enlist
ment, and are now drawing a pension
under the law of 1890, will compare
very favorably with those under the old
law.
have in mind terminate who
served three years in the Army of the
Potomac, was promoted from a Ser
geant to Lieutenancy for special
bravery. and was awarded a Medal Of
Honor, was never on the sick list, and
never missed a fight in which his regi-
ment was engaged. and did not ask
dollar from the Government until mis-
fortune thru sickness and disability
overlook him, when he was forced to
apply for a pension, and was granted
IS per month under the law of 1890.
His condition recently became so help
less that a special act was put thru
Congress in his behalf. which is now
pending His is one of many who did
not feel warranted in pressing their
Just claims under the drastic stipula-
tons of the old law.
Granting that a soldiers widow
should be so fortunate as to find her
self possessed of a few dollars in ex-
cess of $3.50 per year at the death of
her husband. she would need that and
more, too, to exc out comfortable
living in her declining years. Opulent
veterans are the exception. while most
of them have to sail pretty close to the
wind in these days of high cost living.
l trust those who are so unfortunate
as to have come in under the terms OF
of the law of 1890, and have wives who
have been true helpmeets in all that
this implies, will line up for square
deal" and the editor of The National
Tribune will lend a willing hand to push
the cause along.-Rufus p. Northrop.

Pensions.

Editor National Tribune: I believe the
Government should give every soldier
a pension who can show an honorable
discharge. The McCumber bill would
have been more satisfactory il the rat
ing had been all soldiers over So years
SIS and all over So years $1S and all
over 20 years 500. There are very few
who will ever reach their 18th birth
day. The railroad companies have de-
cided that a man over 40 years Is not
able to do their work. In that case
where will our veterans come In when
they are 81 years or over? Next, the
soldiers widows. Our Government does
not give them fair showing. We all
know what they had TO endure during
the war when their hubands were at
the front. Some widows now get $12
per month others IS. Why not make
all widows pensions SIS per month p
