: The Columbia Record says ".this
surely should mark the food tide of
pension legislation. In 1910 our ex-
penditures for pensions went above
s160,O0O, 900. There were in that
year on the pension rolls 921,0S3
names. OF these 22O,S26 were wild
ows of Union soldiers-many Of
them having married after the war.
OF the more than two million SOL
diers enlisted in the Union army we
MAY be sure there are i220,S26 OF
them dead, since that number of
widows draw PENSIONS"
AS the Record says "the new, law
will add practically every living IN
ion veteran to the pension list; for
the war ended torty-four years ago
and the soldier who was eighteen
years of age in 1865 is s!Xty-two o
years old in 1911. The pension fund
has steadily Increased, year by year.
In 1865 it was eight million dollars;
in 1910, it was s160,000,000. In
l;1911 it will go over s200,000,0O0,
thanks to the Sulloway bill. Where
will it stop? Ever?"
There is now over one and half
as many pensioners on the roll as
there were Confederate soldiers from
the beginning of the war to the end.
Think of such condition nearly
fifty years after the great struggle
closed. With such fact as that
confronting us, we are forced to the
conclusion that no man living can
answer the Records question as to
where will it stop?" We are in IA
vor OF pensioning every soldier who
fought for his country, !Lut the boun-
ty jumpers and bummers should be
eliminated from the pension list.
