PENSIONS FOR SERVICE.
General Torrance Insists That Rewards
Should Be Based on That Alone.

SHOulO ne DaSGO OF nat AIOnSs
General Ell Torrance of Minneapolis.
chairman of the legislative committee
of the q. A. r., told the pension com
mittee of the senate that the Grand
Army favored pension bill based on
both age and service, carrying about
$30,OOO,000 annually. Representative
Isaac Sherwood of Ohio, author of the
service pension bill bearing his name
that recently passed the house, said
that he was not welded to any par
ticular bill, but he insisted that service
alone should be the test of reward.
The plan advocated by General Tor
rance for the Grand Army is covered
by proposition originally suggested
by Senator McCumber, chairman of
the senate committee on pensions. 1t
proposes that pensions for veterans
sixty-two years of age shall vary from
So month for ninety days service
to SCI month for three years serv-
ice; that sixty-six- year-old veterans
shall have SIS month for ninety
days and $24 month for three years
service; that seventy-year-old veterans
shall receive SIS for ninety days sery-
ice and $27 for three years service:
that veterans seventy-hve years old
shall receive S21 month for ninety
days service and $50 for three years
service. 1t is estimated that under
this. scheme there would be 3S7 ,957
pensioners, receiving in the aggregate
$50, 9S4.420.
