The Service Pension Law.


Both houses of congress have passed
the McCumber bill, known as the Ser
vice Pension bill, more accurately
as an age pension bill. Not many years
ago such measure would have been
vigorously opposed, but today it receives
unanimous support in congress, and no
sharp hostility is likely to be manifest
ed in any part Of the country The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. We have reached
point of time when all the survivors
of the Mexican War and nearly all the
survivors of the CIVIL War have passed
the limit of disputable disability. We
have already established by executive
order and legislation system of age
pensions, and the McCumber bill ex-
tends that system only little further.
Under President Roosevelt's executive
order of March Is, 1904, the pension ex-
aminers were directed Ito consider as
an evidential fact, if the contrary does
not appear, that when a claimant has
passed the age of sixtytwo years he is
disabled one-half in ability to perform
manual labor and is entitled to be rated
at sc per month. 1t was further pro-
vided that after sixty-five the rate
should be So a month, after sixty eight
so a month and after seventy s12 a
month-the full rate for disability
proved by medical examination. The
Pension appropriation act of April "a,
1906 directed that the rebuttable pre-
sumption established by the Presidents
order be accepted as final and absolute.
Senator McCumber's measure goes
further in admitting complete disability
to perform manual labor at sixty-two
and abolishing all gradings between
sixty-two and seventy. A veteran
pensioned on an age claim under the
present law would receive little less
than SO month for the eight year
period between sixtv-two and seventy.
Under the McCumber act he would re-
ceive the fiat $12 rate. After seventy
and up to seventy-five he would receive
SIS instead of S12, and after seventy-fiye
$50 instead of s12. 1t is impossible to
guess how much this change of rates
would cost the government. One esti-
mate is $15,000,000 year. But this
seems excessive, for it is difficult to say

Believes the People Endorse His
Action.

Gov. Warner is again at his desk in
the executive Office at Lansing. The
State Republican quotes the Governor
as follows:
There seems to be very general salts
faction over the result of the senatorial
contest, and there is every reason to
believe that Senator Smith will fully
meet the expectations of his friends.
Regarding the part took in the contest,
l do not believe that either the people
or myself will ever regret my action or
the result brought about"
This wasn't very much, but it is seen
in the last few words that the governor,
takes upon himself the credit of having
defeated Arthur Hill and electing
William Alden Smith.
Gov. Warner declared that the con-
tention of some avowedly good friends
of the state university that he was at
tempting to inject politics into the re-
gency contest is not borne out by the
facts. He regards none of the candi-
dates as politicians. He, however,
spoke of Frank B. Leland, of Detroit, as
strong personal friend, to whom he
had sent his best wishes.
mo one regrets more than myself"
said the governor, "that certain inter
ests, some of whose plans have not ap-
pealed to me as tending to promote the
best interests of the state, should elect
to oppose Mr.. Leland for no other ap-
parent reason than that he is my
friend.
Gov. Warner endorsed the direct
nomination of senators and the work of
the senate railroad committee on the
car-shortage problem. He said two
cent passenger fares would likely result
in a benefit to railroads and public alike.
The governor said he believed the
work of the present legislature had ad-
vanced as far as any session had at this
time. He continued:
Il believe there is an opportunity at
this session for good, wholesome legis-
lation and there is very general belief
that the legislature will fully meet the
expectations of the people in this re-
gard. l have certainly no desire to
dictate the course which shall be pur-
sued, and will only state that shall be
glad to cooperate in every way possible
with the members of both houses in
bringing about results which will pro-
mote the best interests of our state. /
sincerely believe, too, that the more i'm
portant matters in which the people are
generally interested should be brought
up early and not left until local legisla-
tion is all cared for

Justices Sure to be Re. elected.

Valentines in the shape of renomina-
tions appear certain to be received from
the Republican state convention next
week Thursday by Justices Carpenter
and McAlvay of the supreme court.
That each will be reelected is almost
equally foregone conclusion, and in
each case the honor is merited Justice
Carpenter was elected in 1902 to fill the
unexpired term of Justice Charles d.
Long. He is graduate of the Michi-
gan Agricultural college and of the
University of Michigan. Previous to
his election to the supreme bench he
was twice elected judge of the Wayne
county circuit court. He is SO years of
age. Justice McAlvay was elected a
member of the highest court in Nov.
1908, to fill one of the three newly Great
ed seats. He has also had long exper-
fence as circuit Judge and, like Judge
Carpenter, obtained his legal education
at the University of Michigan. He is
fifty nine years of age. Both justices
have made creditable records, and for
that reason, as we'll as under all the
usages of Michigan politics, are clearly
entitled to the denomination and re.
election it is conceded they will receive.

how many of the possible beneficiaries
under the new law would take advan-
tage of its provisions. When President
Roosevelt's order was issued in 1904
some heated imaginations figured its
certain cost at $40, 900, 600 to $50, 900, 600.
AS a matter of fact the order caused no
perceptible increase in pension expendi
lures The veterans now on the roll
who will be enabled to draw increased
compensation under it cannot survive
on the average more than few years,
and it may be argued that the govern
ment can well afford this small addi-
tional recompense to its defenders in
their advancing years. 1t must be re-
membered, too, that the cost of living
has materially increased and that $12
goes little further today than SIS did ten
years ago.
