NEW YORK. March 25.-Fancy colors

State Capital Letter
Little Rock, Feb. %.


There is a great deal OF interest
throughout the state in the bill in
troduced in Congress by Hon John
Tillman of the Third district, provid-
ing for the pensioning of the ex-Con-
federate soldiers. Mr.. Tillman pro-
poses that he governments shall place
every surviving soldier of the Con.
federacy upon the pension roll at $50
month, or 81 per day, for life, with
$500 each back pay, This is to be
betrayed out of a fund of$60,00O, 900,
representing the proceeds of cotton
tax collected in the south after the
war, about which there has been
much proposed legislation.
Should this bill become law, it
would mean much to the state of Ar.
kansas. The state this year paid the
ex-Confederate, soldiers and their
widows, out of a direct tax of 112
mills, approximately $640, 1000. This
will be increased, in the taxes now
being collected, to 2 mills, as provided
by the legislature of 1915, which will
mean that next year the Confederate
pension roll of the state will amount
to about $S50,000. The increased
levy will, it is estimated, enable the
state to pay the pension allowances
in full, instead of pro-rating them as
has been necessary for years, or prac-
tically since the system was inaugu.
rated. The levy for general purposes
Of the state government is only 2h
mills.
Should the Tillman bill pass the
state might and probably would dis
continue its own pension system,
which wonld be tremendous saving
in taxes. And at the same time the
veterans and their widows would be
much better provided for than it is
possible for the state ever to do. The
highest pension paid in the state is
500 a year, and the Tillman bill
provides that it shall be 1865 a
year
