TO INCREASE PENSIONS
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIDSON PRE-
PARES BILLS FOR CONGRESS.
Thinks Any Woman Who Lives with Old
Soldier Is Entitled to Com
pensation.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Dec C.
Especial. l-Reprcsentative Davidson has
prepared several bills contemplating
changes in existing pension laws. He
proposes to grant a veteran suffering
from partial deafness $40 a month. An
other bill provides for an increase rate
under the old age act. Under the pres
ent law soldiers 81 years of age are al
lowed S12 per month, and 20 years Slo
per month, and 10 years $50 per month.
Comparatively few live sufficiently long
to enjoy the $50 rate.
Mr. Davidson proposes to give $40 per
month at age of 81 years, $50 at age OF
$50, $50 at age of 20, and $40 at age
of 70,
This act also proposes TO repeal those
laws which prohibit the payment of pen
sions to widows of soldiers where the
marriage to the soldier took place sub
sequent to June ~, 1890. That pro-
vision when enacted was perhaps ncccs-
sary to break up vicious practice which
existed In certain quarters. | do not
think it is necessary to continue the law
because any woman who marres an old
soldier and faithfully cares for him dur
ing his last years and during his last
illness, is entitled TO some compensation
therefor
Il do not think any arbitrary laws
touching the date Of marriage ought to
be established. | am perfectly willing
that in such cases the widow should he
compelled to establish the fact that she
actually lived with the soldier and cared
for him during all the time after her
marriage and up to the time of his
death"
