As TO INCREASE Of CONFEDERATE
PENSION.

For the information of the pension
ers who are anxious to know If, their
pensions are to be increased, AND IL so
at what time, the pension board has
prepared the iollowing statement:
Article 3O3 of the constitution of
1918 fixed the sum of S35O, 600 out OF
the one mill tax assessed to pay the
Confederate pensioners, aud any &C
crning surplus from said tax fund
shall b. turned over to the common
school fund.
Said article 3O3 was amended by an
amendment which was voted Oh al the
last congressional election in Nnvem-
Der, 1915, 50 az to give the entire pro-
ceeds Of the one mill tax to pay tine
Confederate pensioners.
The total assessment of the state for
1915 will be about e5s7 ,O00, 600; there
fore the ono mill tax cannot exceed
s597 900, which would be- an increase
OF a, 900 over the $3.50, 900 which the
pensioners have been receiving An
nualIy.
The pension board at i,'s meeting in
June, 1916, took all the names Of the
veterans and their widows from tie
waiting list, and placed them on the
paying rolls We nov have on the
active roll 3,i15 veterans and 1870
widows, or a total of 6,085.
1t requires the annual sum Ut 1854, :
100 I'd pay the s24 per quarter or 90
per month.
The pension board has on file at
present Az applications for pensions.
II the pension board has not sufficient
funds to provide for all the applicants.
the remaining ones will have to be
put on the waiting list.
II has been suggested that the pen
sion board ought to reduce The pen
sions OF 5000 pensioners to make room
for few hundred. The pe usion hoard
is of opinion that 1t wouid he exceed
ingly unjust and unfair to punish the
many for the few. All the more so
when you consider that most OF the
pensioners were admitted when the
law only allowed tEfm TO possess $500
in property, and the law of 1916 allows
the applicant for pension to possess
1900, and quite number OF the new
applicants came under this hw.
II the legislature wishes to give the
pensioners s25 per month it will have
to assess on the present assessment of
ihe state three mills instead of one;
In other words, they would have to
triple the rate OF tax.
The pension board, In conclusion,
wishes to extend to all the pensioners
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year. E. F. BRIAN, Secretary.
