BOARD OF PENSIONS,
BATON ROGUE, LA.

For the Information of the pension
erS who are anxious to know if their
pensions are to be increased. an6 if
90 st what time, The Pension Board
has prepared the following statement:
Article 1903 of the Constitution of
1913 fixed the sum of $3.50. 900. 90 out of
the mill tax assessed to pay the Con-
federate pensioners, and any accruing
surplus from said tax fund shall be
turned over to the common school
fund.
Said Article 1903 was amended by an
amendments which was voted on at the
last Congressional election in Novem-
ber: 1915. so as to give the entire pro-
ceedS Of the one mill tax to pay the
Confederate pensioners.
The total assessment of the State for
f0l6 will be about 1897. OOG, 90;
therefore the one mill tax cannot ex-
coed 1897 ,OOO.60. which would be
% increase of 81. 900 90 over the
$3.50, O0O. co which the pensioners have
been receiving annually.
The Pension Board at its meeting in
June, 1915, took all the names of the
veterans and their widows from its
waiting list, and placed them on the
paying rolls. We now have on the
active roll 3.1l5 veterans and 1910
widows, or total OF 6,0S5
1tfequires the annual sum of 1884,
10000 to pay the GAG per quarter or
Is 90 per month";
The Pension Board has on file at
present AT 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
Il has been suggested that the PEN
sion Board ought to reduce the pen
stOns OF 8, 600 pensioners to make room
for few hundred. The Lsion
Board Is OF the opinion that it would
DO exceedingly unjust and unfair to
punish the many for the few. All the
more 50 when you consider that most
OF tie pensioners we're admitted when
the law only allowed them to possess
$500. 90 Ia property, and the law of
1915 allows the applicant for pension
to possess q, 10000, and quite num-
Der OF the new applicants came under
this law.
II the legislature wishes to give the
pensioners $500 per mouth it will
have TO assess on the present assess
ment of the State three mills instead
OF one; in other words, they would
have to triple the rate of the tax.
The Pension Board, in conclusion,
wishes to extend to all the pensioners
9 Merry Christmas, and q Happy
New Year.
