PENSION BILL UP BEORE
THE LEGISLATURE AGAIN

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. There is no
telling when the state Of Georgia
would finish paying Confederate pen
sions if the legislature should pass the
bill which was passed by the house
on yesterday with amendments de-
signed to put back some of the bars
let down in the bill as originally in
troduced and reported favorably by
the constitutional amendments COM
mittee of the house.
The constitution of Georgia now
provides that no pension shall be paid
to a Confederate veteran owning
property worth $500 or more. l,
provides that no pension shall be paid
to the widow of veteran who mar
ried him after the year 1870. The bill
before the house removed entirely
the property limit on veterans claim
ing a pension, and removed entirely
the marriage date of widows claim
ing pension.
Under the last-named provision, a
girl 10 years of age could marry a
veteran tomorrow assist him III shut
fling off the mortal coil, and proceed
to draw a pension the balance of her
days. This feature of the bill made
such an unfavorable impression on
the house that they adopted an
amendment fixing a widows marriage
date at 1881, while the property limit
was fixed at $4,000 in another amend
ment. Thus amended the bill went
through by vote of 14o to II.
Two years ago it was proposed to
increase the amount of pensions paid
annually to veterans and their wild
ows. The claim was made that the
mortality among pensioners would
more than Offset the increased annual
allowance. Exactly the opposite re-
suit has come to pass, and additional
appropriations made necessary by
the act of 1915 already have cost the
state approximately $265,000
