The Cordova daily times., 1920-02-03
UNPOPULAR LAW CAUSES SLUMP
 IN PENSIONS

The revised territorial pension law, conceived and put into operation by the last legislature, has had the effect of cutting down the pension roll of the territory to a very considerable extent, many of the old-timers who received territorial assistance under the old law having refused to con- tinue to accept pensions under the new conditions imposed. The new law provides that all pensioners shall deed their property to the territory the object of the objectionable 'provi- sion being to eliminate imposters from the pension roll.
 As a matter of fact, and many mem bers of the legislature are now willing to admit it, the provision excludes many worthy old-timers entitled to pensions, and who object to deeding away property which some day may make them independently rich. Nearly every old-timer owns more or less mining ground of improved value, and the majority of them are reluctant. to part with it, confident that some day they will locate the pay or be able to dispose of the ground to advantage. They need the pension money, but they prefer to do without it rather than surrender claims upon which they have expended years of labor in assessment work and prospecting.
 Some idea of the effect the law is having may be gathered from state ment issued by Commissioner Reed Heilig of Fairbanks. He reports that the pension checks received by him for the January quarter numbered only eleven, just half as many as were is- sued for distribution in the Fairbanks district before the new law was passed. And it is reasonable to as- sume that similar conditions prevail in other sections of the territory.
