MORE FOR SOLDIERS, WIDOWS.
Sulloway Bill Passed and Long Will
Substitute 1t for His Own.

Washington. Feb. There is very
little doubt that widows Of honorably
discharged veterans Of the war Of the
rebellion who served 80 days, will have
their pensions increased to $12 per
month. without proof Of soldiers death
from disease of disability incurred in
the service, and without proof that they
do not have in excess of $3.50 annual
net income.
A bill embodying these requirements
and provisions was introduced in the
senate by Senator Long Immediately
after the holiday recess, on January I.
1t was the first to include all these lib
eral provisions to widows. Many other
BITS provided for increase of widows
rates to $12, but none abolished the pro-
vision in the present act of 1890 law
and amendments that widows must
have not to exceed $3.50 annual net in
come. Senator Long declared this pro-
vision unjust and pernicious because it
placed burden of proof on the widow,
whereas it should be on the govern
ment. 1t also tended to persistent eff
fort by the pension office to put the
widows income just above the $3.50
mark and thus defeat her effort for re-
lief
After Senator Long had introduced
his bill on January Z, Chairman SulIo-
way of the house Of representatives
committee on invalid pensions introduce
ed a bill on January 20 almost identical
in language with Senator Longs bill.
Sulloway has just succeeded in having
his bill passed by the house.
Senator Long states he will endeavor
to have the senate committee substi-
tute the Sulloway bill for his when 1t
reaches that committee. Senator Cur
tbs, who is member of the senate COM
mittee, favors the Long-Sulloway plan.
Neither the Long nor SuIloway bills
abolishes the present provision that
widows must have married the, soldier
prior to June 81, 1890. Persistent effort
has been made so to modify the law,
but neither Senator Long nor Mr.. Sui
loway believe it just to the war wild
owl to do So
