the brick one now used as a Sunday
school The President became a men,

TOO MANY PENSION AGENCIES
HOUSE AGAIN RECOMMENDS
ONE CENTRAL OFFICE.
Senate Opposes Plan Which, It u
Claimed, Would Save Govern
ment $225, 900 a Year.

An interesting situation exists in the
Senate in relation to the question OF
abolishing the eighteen pension agencies
scattered throughout the United States
and concentrating the work under one Of
ficer in Washington. For several years
this question has been before Congress.
and on two or three occasions the House
has adopted provisions to bring this
about. Opposition In the Senate. how.
ever thus far has prevented IL.
The House has again recommended the
reduction Of the agencies to one, in
Washington. which would result in an
annual saving to the government Of about
500 600 according to Commissioner War
ner The Senate committee has again
decided to report an amendment appro-
priatng the money necessary for the
eighteen agencies. Information has
reached the committee. however, that the
President may avail himself of priv
lege granted by the pension act of March
| 1. 1907. TO consolidate the agencies in his
discretion.
| The problem confronting the committee
| is how an amendment may be drafted SD
as to take this power from him without
arousing opposition to the provision.
