Congressman Morgan Speaks Against Pension system

years from its passage. This safety
valve, however. was eliminated by
act of March 3, 1905
under the beneficent provisions OF
which all persons who, in conse-
quence of known wounds received In
the military service Of the United
States during the Revolutionary war
had at any period since become anu
continued 50 disabled as to render
them incapable of procuring q hvli-
hood by manual labor, were entitled
to q pension.
Congress said, in effect. "Mr. Sol.
dier, apparently you are strong and.
healthy, but II at any period here
after you become disabled you are
authorized to trace your ailments te
wounds received in the line of duty"
On the 10th of April, 1906. Con-
gress passed an act extending the
benefits of the pension laws SO as to
include all volunteer, militia. and
State troops who had served in the
Revolutionary War, and on the 25tf
Of April, 1908, the Secretary Of War
was directed to inscribe on the
United States pension scrolls the
names of all persons appearing on
the pension rolls of the various
States because of known wounds re-
ceived by them during the Revolu-
tionary War.
Congress, dare say, impelled, az
usual, by deep sense of gratitude,
on March Is, 1913, again widened
the scope Of the laws granting pen
sions. Under this act every person
who had served in the Revolutionary
War to its close or for q term of
nine months or longer. at any period
was pensionable-that is. il his cir
cumstances in life were such as to
entitle him to pecuniary aid.
Prior to the passage OF this act II
was the obvious purpose Of the Gov
eminent to place the soldier whose
earning capacity had been impaired
by reason of some injury received In
the military service OF his country on
a basis of equality with those whe
suffered no injury and incurred nc
A sound and commend
able principle. But under the gen
erous terms of this act proof of in
capacity to earn livlihood, due te
was no longer prerequisite. The
soldier was simply required to show
himself to be in impecunious circum-
stances. Up to the adoption OF thi:
measure Congress had studiously en-
deavored to make 1t difficult, at least
Ito loot the Federal Treasury.
The opponents Of the act in ques-
tidn were very much perturbed b.
reason Of the liberal terms In which
it was couched. and while unde'
adoption its proponents were warned
against the adoption of an act ths
dire effects of which posterity would
some day grievously feel. But sucl
remorseless and pessimistic Views
met with no regard from the ma
ionity of their colleagues.

The announcement that Mr..

that they followed with interest and
