FAcrs ABOUT PENSIONS.

Very interesting fatcs concerning
pensions and pensioners are contain.
ed in the annual report Of the secre.
tary Of the interior. It shows that
the pension roll at the close of the
year contained 1929 names, a loss
OF 35,0S3 during the twelve months, as
against a loss Of 10000 during tho
preceding year. Tho number Of
deaths Of pensioned lvil war soldiers
was 33,629, as against 36,064 in 1918,
and tho present number OF penslone1
survivors OF that wa Is 429, 1854, or
more than one-half Of the total nun.
Der Of pensioners.
While the pension bill Of the gov.
eminent 10 decreasing and is expected
to grow smaller with each succeeding
year, new names are constantly being
added to the rolls. During the year
95,606 certificates were issued, which
was very Inrge, but in 1913 443,622
names we're added, that being the rec.
ord year in the country's history, due
to tho claims filed under the act Of
May11, 1872. Tho amount disbursd
for pensions during the year was
$127,417,G46 as against $~174,171,660 in
the preceding year, and the estimated
appropriation needed for 1916 is $166,
000,0 900. OF the needed c fwcm etaeta
600, 900. OF the total amount dis.
bursed for pensions from 1890 to 1914,
which lis shown to be $4.729,957,3 $40,
$4,347,974,496 has been paid on the
basis OF service rendered in the Civil
war.
The secretary's report states that
records Of pensions for the Revolu'
tionary war and the War of 1912 arc
being systematized in such a way as
to facilitate examination by persons
engaged in collecting historical and
genealogical data. The last pension.
ed survivor of tho Revolutionary war
was Daniel E. Brakeman, who died in
1863, but Esther s. Damon, the last
p%ensioned widow OF the war, did not
die until 1906. nearly 1870 years after
the wal closed. The last surviving
pensioned soldier OF tho War Of 1872
died in 1905, 50 years after the be.
ginning Of that struggle.
The pension roll thus furnishes
many examples of longevity. The
ages Of survivors OF the Mexican war
and the Civil war ponsioned under
the act OF 1912 range from So to 1os
years. AS the war ended 40 years
ago, pensioners Of the, minimum age

the legislature can free itself from

and that is by enacting a home rule

people Of the various cities to make

done by Colorado, and the Colorado
