IOWA VOTE FOR
SHERWOOD BILL
PENSION MEASURE, WHICH PASS
ED LOWER HOUSE, SUPPORTED
BY ENTIRE DELEGATION.

Washington, Dec. 13.-(SpeciaD-
All the Iowa members supported the
sherwood pension bill. which passed
the House last night by a vote Of 22s
to @92. Judge Towner made his first
speech strongly favoring liberal
pension fsolicy. Representative Ken
dali said he supported the Sherwood
bill, not because 1t was what he want
ed, but because it was the best one
that could be passed at this time. He
favored either the sulloway or = dol
lar day pension bill. !,
Sherwood Bill Passes House.
The Sherwood service pension bill.
which would add upwards of 100000
600 to the governments annual ex-
penditures by granting increased pen-
sions to civil and Mexican war veter-
ans on the basis of length of service,
was passed by the house last night
despite the determined opposition OF
many democratic leaders. Secretary
of the Interior Fisher had estimated
that the bill would add $75,000,00O to
the pension roll if the four hundred
thousand veterans eligible take adyan-
tage Of the increased wage.
The republicans who voted with the
eighty-four democrats against the bill
were: Gardner, Gillette and Mccall,
of Massachusetts; Hill of Connecticut,
Kent of California, McCreary of Penn
sylvania, Payne Of New York, and Ut
ter of Rhode Island. Speaker Clark
voted with the majority of his party
for the bill and Democratic Leader
Underwood and Fitzgerald of New
York, chairman Of the appropriations
committee, voted against it.
Now Goes to Senate. .ss Z
The bill now goes to the senate,
where there is a disposition to pass
some form of amended service pen.
sion legislation. Senate leaders how
ever, will proceed slowly in the con-
house democrats voted for the meas.
ure in the belief that the senate would
not pass it. .. .
The Sulloway age pension bill, pass
ed by the house last spring, failed of
passage In the senate at that time.
This republican measure was offered
unsuccessfully In the house as q sub
stitute for the Sherwood bill. Scores
of amendments were offered and a
hard, unsuccessful fight was made
to have a straight dollar day pension
bill established without regard to
length of service Of the veterans.
New Basis for Pensions.
The Sherwood bill would establish
the following basis Of pensions:
For service of ninety days to six
months, SIS per month; for six to nine
months, $40 per month; from nine
months to one year, $25 per month;
more than one year, $50 per month.
Two important changes were made
in the Sherwood bill during the all-day
battle over it. A joint amendment by
Representatives Rauch, of Indiana,
and Cox, of Ohio, struck out the pro-
vision denying entrance to federal
soldiers homes Of veterans receiving
more than $25 a month; and refusing
at state homes federal aid for the sup
port Of such pensions. The restriction
against the payment of any pension to
a veteran whose income exceeds 81 900
a year was voted out on the motion Of
Representative Rucker of Colorado.
