Liberal Provisions.

The law now in force is very liberia
in its provisions. The requirement!
most difficult to determine and justly
administer are the clauses relating tC
property and continuous residence,
In a work of the magnitude of the
pension work in this state one secs
much of human nature, much of Scntl'
mcnt, somewhat OF the sordid side OF
life, accumulated by dire necessity
The old and needy pcnsioncr--childisll
and impatient claims ones sympathy
and one ycarns to help him. In the
days Of their sacrifice and the four
wears of hardship and privation when
they followed our flag over bloody
battlcfc'ds to tragic AppomattoX, they
were heroes. Broken in health and
tottcring towards life sunset, today we
rcvercntly salute them as heroes. To
see them in want and restitution is
enough to break ones heart and to
have been permitted to labor among
them hold the greatest privilege that
life has brought to me Pensacola

tcrly payment under the new law

Cause for Decrease.
The greatest decrease in the roll
has been caused by the alteration OF
the requirement of continuous resi-
doncc in this state from the elastic
provision of ten years prior to making
application to continuous residence in
this state since 1905, and making a
similar alteration in the date of mar
ri 'gc OF widows, from ten years prior
t. making application to date prior
{, 1905 Under the liberal property
qualification OF 5000, very few have
been dcharrcd.
In tin early days of the pcnsioning
of soldiers by this state the blanks
used for making application were SO
arranged that very mcagcr informa-
ton was elected from the applicant or
his vouchers and frequently the forms
were not filled out The present law
requires twelve months actual SER
vice, unless discharged for dscasr
contracted or wounds received in ac-
tual line of duty. and it was found
ne csSary TO require IL C cnt iniOrma-
ton from the applicant in the rcnrwal
of claim to determine the period of
service and the cause of discharge
as well as the establishment of the
property qualification and period of
continuous residence.
Purging the Roll.
The Board of Pensions has in all
cases where additional evidence was
required to establish the service claimed +,
assisted the applicant by requesting
Il transcript of the record from the
aliut2nt general Several thousand
records have been obtained in cases of
doubtful or imperfect claims These
records have been the means of purgng
the roll of many unworthy pensioners --
dcscrtcrs, absent without leave men,
men who took the oath of allegiance to
the United States before the close of the
war and frequently mtn who enlisted i'll
the union army or navy and who had
been in good standing on the pension
roll for many years have been ruthlcssly
cut off on account of these records,
The Board Of Pensions heretofore
has been greatly hampercd by lack of
authentic records or any means Of
verifying the statements Of applicants
or their vouchers, but now has access
to the Confederate and Union records
on file in the war department and
which are the greatest assistance in
establishing soldier record,
