Mr.. Looney nj Cumberland present
cd: Resolve requesting the United
States senators and representatives
from Maine to assist in the enactment
of law Grating a volunteer retired
list in the war department and moved
its passage.
The Resolve reads: Whereas, it has
been the policy Of this country from
the beginning to maintain small
regular army, and in times of war to
rely upon the patriotism Of the people
to rally as vo unteers in defense of the
national flag, and
Whereas, it is a recognized fact that
the Civil War, 1861 to 1865. forms a
most sanguinary chapter in the his
tory of the world, that the regular
army during that struggle was main
tanned at about $4,000 men, while the
volunteers numbered more than $780,
900 Of officers and enlisted men. and
Whereas, it is a recognized fact that
the union Of these states were preserved
and the national authority maintained
by the patriotism, fortitude and valor
OF the volunteers to whom this great
united people. now enjoying the in
estimable blessing of preserved
union, owe debt of gratitude that
can never be paid,
Therefore, Resolved. by the Senate
and House Of Representatives OF the
State Of Maine that we request the
senators land representatives OF the
60th Congress from the State of Maine
to aid in the prompt enactment of
law in effect creating volunteer re-
tired list, upon which may be placed
with retired pay upon application the
surviving volunteer officers of the
army, navy and marine Of the United
States, who served with credit during
the Civil War, such survivors now
constituting a small remnant of that
body of gallant men who led the Union
forces to final victory.
Resolved further, that in our opinion,
the presidents Of congressional legis-
lation fully justify the enactment of
this law, namely. the Acts of 1928 and
1892, granting full pay during life to
the surviving officers and enlisted men
