Congressman Greenes speech against
the so-called maternity bin was torceful
one and decidedly characteristic Of him
He gave two strong reasons in OPPOSITION
to the measure OIe was because he BE-
lieved it invoked a wrong theory and
principal of civcs in that it caused the
federal government to do for individuals
what they should do for themselves; and
the other he believes it creates between
the states and the government unsound
economics in money obligations and the
loss of right to local self government. The
speech is widely complinenled.

Orleans county is already casting
about for senatorial candidates. The best
name thus far mentioned is Wallace H.
Gilpin, editor of the Barton Monitor.
His large newspaper experience and gener-
al interest in state affairs we'll fits him for
the position. Should he be candidate,
and it is hoped he will, he would receive a
handsome election and would be strong
factor in the legislative body. Orleans
will make no mistake if it selects Editor
Gilpin.

MATTER OF PENSIONS.

E'ifty-GYe years after, the time has cone when each year sees a large re- sductlon in the number of pensioners on account of the Civil War The number diminished by g, 235 during the year, says Current Events. Most of these were soldiers wives Qr other depend- ,ents. Some were veterans of the war with Spain, and the present war with Germany and Austria. Though fight Ing ceased more than two years ago the war is not yet legally ended.
 These 32 235 deaths resulted in re- ducing the pension bill by about Sl4,- l000, GOO.
 Pensions are stiff 1aeavy burden of expense to the Government. The bill this year is S265, 900, 006. Of this amount the largest item IS on account of the sectional war of l861-5. This item alone is S251, ,612, ,l92. Next comes the war with Spain. $5,844, 360, and then the Mexican war, $640, ,430 A mere 1trife compared with thls is the ex- penditure for pensions, on account of the prosenG war. which is only $36, 7730.
 We are actually y-still paying pensions, to nhe anoU Ut of S2l, ,l45 year, on ac-
The Kusko times., 1921-03-12

count of the War of 1912, which ended l06 years ago. Many people wonder how this can be, since there can be now no survivor of that war; It is be- cause veterans when old may marry young wives who outlive them many years and who are entitled to the pen- sion as long as they live. It has been charged that young girls sometimes accept aged veterans as husbands for no other reason than to get a pension for life.
 Next year, it is estimated, the Gov ernment will have to pay out mere than $500, 100000 for soldiers benefits in addition to the pensions. The largast item in this sum is for war risk con : pensation, which is partly self-paying on the insurance principle. Another item is for maintaining soldiers homes and hospitals, and vocational training for blinded and otherwise disabled sol diers.
 The pension system began in I790. By the end of the next fiscal year the Government will have paid nearly six billion dollars for this purpose.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

Business may be stacking off, but the freight traffic of the year 1920 as whole does not show it. The railroads carried more freight than ln any other year of their history, even the woaaei- ful year 1918.
 Here are some of the things the rail- roads did in the nine months since the Government put them back into owu- ers' hands.
 l. Increased the average movement of freight cars per day to 28.6 miles. from 22.9.
 ?. Increased the average load per car to 30 tons, from 283.
 6. Reduced the number Of loaded but idle freight cars to 2l,990, from 103 POO on March l.
 f. Found 180.O0O cars that were ''lost" somewhere on the sidings.
 5. Moved more coal than in any other year but two.
 G. Spent more than $500. GOO, ,000 im proving railroads. tracks. bridges and rolling stock.
 '. Began work of rebuilding thou sands of old cars.
 8. Moved, in spite of all haodicaps. the largest volume of freight that was ever moved in the United States in one year.
 All this is shown iu a review of the railroad situation by T. De Witt Guy Ter, chairman of the Association Of Railway Executives.
