Query-Can you inform me of
the correctness of the rejection
of my mothers claim for
pension on the ground that my father,
the soldier, was not in the Mexican
war, or en- route thereto, for a period
of 60 days" He applied for pension
under the act of January 20, 1887, and
his claim was allowed in 1888. He was
in the service during the Mexican war,
although he did not actually serve in
the war. Why is 1t that my mother
cannot get pension. She Is old and
feeble and much In need of it.-John
M. A.
Answer-Your fathers claim for
pension was granted under a con-
struction of the act of January 20.
1887, that prevailed when his pension
was allowed. Subsequently the secre.
tary of the interior decided that
neither soldiers nor their widows were
entitled to pension under said act un.

were personally named In any resolu

in said war. Your mothers claim was
therefore properly rejected.

TO CUT APPROPRIATIONS
Tax Levy Cut Down When the Bill
Was Passed as it Was Ex-
pected Gov. Deneen
Would Sign it.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 12.-The
Business Corporation Act, which
would have changed all the corpora
ton laws Of the state and made inter
est felt all over the country. was Veto
ed by Governor Deneen at midnigh,,
few minutes before the time for ex-
ecutive action expired. The Cover
nor's action was not announced untili
this morning. The proposed act would
have taxed corporations one-twentieth
of one per cent of their capital stock
annually, and would have turned about
half million yearly into the state
treasury.
In expectation that this tax bill
would become law. the annual tax
levy bill was cut down one million
dollars. 1t is expected the governor
will have to vote enough of the ap
preparations to make UP the deficit.
In his veto message the governor de
clares the bill reverses the policy Of
the state and "in my mind does not
provide proper safeguards, nor define
any proper limitations to the power o.
corporations to own stock in other cor
porations. The bill would confer larger
powers on corporations than is grant
ed them in any other state in the Unit
ed States"

Federal Supervision Necessary.

Federal Supervision Necessary.
Consideration OF the proposition has
convinced the President and others
with whom he has consulted that, in
order to collect such tax it would be
necessary for the Federal Government
to exercise a supervision over the cor

believe, would effectually checkmate
that manipulation Of stock, that Sc

which are, in the estimation of many
Of the ablest financiers, the bane Of
corporate methods in this country.
The situation inthe Senate is obsious-
ly such that the President, should he
deem it wise to exert his influence In
favor of this proposition, could easily
effect its adoption. The Re-
publican leaders no longer at
tempt to conceal the fact that
the strength of the income tax move
ment is to them the occasion of no lit
tie anxiety. Manyof them believe that
only the, presentation of a meritorious
substitute will prevent the adoption of
the Cummin--Bailey income tax
amendment. Such substitute as the
President now has under considera-

completely dispose of the income tax
proposition and would accomplish an
end to which this as we'll as the last
