PENSION BILL HAS BEEN
PASSED BY THE HOUSE,
Sherwood Measure Goes Through,
Despite Strong Opposition.

DOoplOo StrOhS OppOSIuOHs
The Sherwood service pension bill
which would add upwards of S40,-
100000 to the government annual
expenditures by granting increased
pensions to Civil and Mexican war
veterans on the basis of length of
service, was passed by Congress last
Tuesday, despite the determined op-
position of many leaders. Secretary
of the Interior Fisher had estimated
that the bill would add $75,0OO,000
to the pension roll If the four hund-
red thousand veterans eligible take
advantage of the increased wage.
The bill now goes to the senate
where there is a disposition to pass
some. form of amended service pen
sion legislation.
Senate leaders, however, will pro-
ceed slowly in the consideration of
this legislation.
The Sulloway age pension bill,
passed by the house last spring, fail
ed of passage in the senate at that
time. This Republican measure was
Offered unsuccessfully in the house
as substitute for the Sherwood bill.
Scores of amendments were offered
and hard but unsuccessful fight
was made to have a straight 81 a
day pension bill established without
regard to the length of service of the
veterans.
The Sherwood bill would establish
the following basis of pensions: For
service for ninety days to six months,
S15 per month; from six to nine
months, $40 per month; from nine
months to one year, $25 per month;
more than one year, $40 per month.
