pepole taxes for paying pensions to
those who do not need the states
bounty at this time and thereby
cause the present generation after
fifty years to look askance at the
Confederate soldier as a man of mer-
ccnary spirit.
We are opposed to any pension
law, or law Of any kind, which seeks
to appropriate money to those who
are not in need. The appropriations
for Confederate soldiers have in
creased in the last few years from
one hundred thousand dollars to
some six hundred thousand dollars
under the present law. This is huge
sum Of money. If it is properly and
well spent for the taking care of
those ii need nobody would objec.
but the true Confederate soldier
should refuse to accept the money of
the state, so much needed by others,
if he is not himself in need, and the
law should be so amended that SOL
'diers in good circumstances would not
be expected to accept money from the
state.
