GOSSIP [5z azzzzzs BROOKS s15zH
tsY coNpol

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. c.
Congressman H. c. woodward has two
bills pending in the committee on in
valid pensions. One provides for
pensions for Civil War soldiers who
served as short term of enlistment
as ninety days, providing they were
honorably discharged and have reach
ed the age of sixty-two years; the
other bill provides for $50 month
pension for soldiers widow when they
reach the age of sixty-tive years. The
latter bill reduces the age of the
present act on known as the Ashbrook
law.
The enactment of these woodward
bills into law would entail, of course,
considerable additional expense to
the government. How much, Con.
gresham woodward has had the Pen
sion Bureau statisticians figuring on,
and their report has just been trans.
mitted to him by Alexander T. Vog
elsang, acting secretary OF the De-
partment of the Interior.
The information elicted Is that the
enactment OF the first bill mentioned
above-the reduction of the time OF
service, etc, to ninety days-would
effect a decidedly substantial increase
in pension expenditures annually.
The Department says more speclfical.
ly: Under present conditions the an,
nual cost OF the bill in case of its
enactment without change would az.
proximate S5,50O,0O0; and its cost with
substitution of the age Of seventy
years for seventy-fve years would be
about $19,OOO,OOO."
AS to the widows bill, the Depart.
ment writes Mr.. woodward: 1.-The
bill is identical with the act 1t propo-
ses to amend, except that it reduces
the age at which widows may be en-
titled to rate of $50 per month from
seventy to sixty.five years. From the
date of the act to June 80, 1917, the
rates OF pension Of over 100000 widow
pensioners were increased hereunder
to $40 per month, with ages as stated
in their applications OF from 20 to
103 years, and there were 1926
widow pensioners on the roll whose
rates were not increased. The same
I'LL Caoo W lldL uuulu eE "Oulu lu-
volve an annual cost Of S12,715,S24.
The records OF the Bureau of Pen
sions afford no ready means of deter
mining their present ages, but on the
assumption that rs per cent of them
are now between the ages OF 65 ana
40 years the cost of such increase
for the first year would be $9,536, S6S."
Congressman woodward has been
putting in considerable work getting
together mass Of statistics and ar.
guments to present to the committee
when it affords him the opportunity
to press favorable action on his bill
upon them. In this work, he has had
the help Of pension experts both in
side and outside the government SER
vice, the experts of the G. A. r, hav-
ing supplied him with much valuable
information. He has received many
letters from all parts of the country
from people interested in the success
Of his bills.
