slble. Then give him drink Of milk

NO DEMAND FOR

DOLLAR A DAY PENSION BILL
ls Sidetracked by the Convention at
Toledo--salt Lake City Chosen
as the Place for the 1909
Eneampment.

Toledo, Sept. 5.--Not for three years

ures. Resolutions looking to an amend.
ment to the service pension bill, re.
ducing to SO years the age at which
q veteran can receive $50 a month,
another amending the pending widows
pension bill to make eligible all sol.
diers' widows who were married prior
to the date of passage Of the bill. were
laid over in favor of the resolution
granting congress three years respite
from old soldier legislation.
It appears to be the opinion of the
leaders that too much hammering for
pension bills and relief measures
might soon create an undignified i'm
preston in the minds of congressman
and reflect discredit on the civil war
veteran at the time in his life when
he would need the most assistance
at the hands of the nation he helped
to save.
Another way will be sought by the
veterans to get before congress those
bits Of unfinished legislation which
they feel cannot wait The attention
Of the G. A. r. delegates was called
by Kate Sherwood to the status of the
pending widows pension bill. in which
at present It is required that the ap.
plicant shall have been married a
number of years prior to the present
date That the bill may be altered
to allow the eligibility of those who
marry up to the date of the passage
of the bill. that matter may be placed
in the hands of pension agents. The
same plan may be used with regard to
the amendment to the service pen
sion bill.
At the wish of Gen l. r. Sherwood,
his dollar a day pension bill was not
brought up for consideration and a
resolution asking congress to pay ex-
pensioners of war 81 day pension
was laid over. AS the result of G. A.
