PENSION APPROPRIATION FOR
THE COMING YEAR.

AS far as the taxpayers are able
to tell, none of the union soldiers
who fought in the civil war have
died during the last forty-four
years At all events, the pension
burden remains undiminished. TO
be more accurate, the pension list
of 1905 contained only 1925 fewer
names than that Of 1898. During
1905 1885 veterans of the war Of
the COS, hitherto unpensioned were
placed upon the rolls Even more
significant is the fact that the aver
age sum paid TO individual pension
ers showed an increase from $145.Go
in 1907 10 $l67.50 in 1908. The
pension appropriation for the COM
ing year is placed in round numbers
at SIG. 100000
II this greedy revel in public
money largely as means Of win
ming votes in elections, injured the
taxpayer only, 1t might be passed
with other Instances Of injustice and
oppression that the earners and pay
ers of the worlds way seem to have
been created to bear; but there are
Others, II reflects sadly upon the
courage and honesty of public men
who have committed themselves
and the government to this vast pol
icy OF greed and graft.
There are still others There were
many of the veterans of the union
army who needed and who deserved
liberal pensions A good authority
like Gen. Garfield, after his election
TO the presidency declared that the
high-water mark of liberauty had
been reached when the annual al
lowance reached $2S,0O0.O00. Cen
eral Grant committed himself to
about the same estimate A genera
tion later we find the estimate of
S161. 100000 The uff-raif, the re-
jected the camp followers and de-
serters. the unworthy and worthless
seem to have been added 10 the
"roll of honor" thus sadly discred-
itug the deserving while dividing
around to others the money which
in justice belonged TO only the good.
"No one objects TO the pensionmg
of needy men who by reason Of ac-
tual service in that conflict have val
id claim upon the national gratitude
