| When we get all the President
said on this subject" commented Mr.
Payne, mo one will seriously con-
tend that 1t is an argument in favor
of the passage Of the pending bill
II Is caution to congress to exer-
else great care in the consideration
of a bill of the character under con-
sideration.
Il have met every argument that
vas urged in favor OF the passage of
this bill by the cold facts gathered
from official sources. This bill was
uncalled for. 1t did not receive the
sanction OF many veterans until after
1t was reported favorably to the
house. and during the whole period
have received letter but from one
veteran in my district who asked
Tor its passage, while | have receiv-
Ell many others protesting against it.
The veteran who served for three
and half years protests against
being placed on the same plane for
service pension with the man who
served only 80 days, and he has
just Cause for complaint"

iustrious than usual. but the con
sfderation of the big appropriation
bills takes time. and the innovation
as to rules, with discussions which
occurred occasionally over the same
has taken up more time than it was

a manner. Nobody 1T seems, wants al
n xtra session. Almost everyone woul,
! 10 anything possible to prevent sucl
o l thing, and yet even with night SEES
+ ions and the greatest expedition o
: which congress is capable, 1t begin
Il to look dubious that both the hous,
. and the senate are considerably per
. turbed over the outlook.
