especially pensions, which are now
covered by general laws.
At that time the pressure was
tremendous and a congressman
with many old soldiers in his dis
trict was kept busy examining tes-
timony and untangling their rec
ords. During most Of my serv-
ice in Congress I spent from a
quarter to a third of my time
following up pension cases. This
did not relate to private pensions,
but to the work of investigation
at the Pension Office, where the
methods were not so systematized
as now.
I recall one interesting case. An
old man. by the name of Joseph
Wood. living in Madison, very
poor, had a claim pending for an
injury received at Pittsburgh
Landing. His case had been re-
peatedly rejected because the rec
ords of the War Department
showed that his regiment had not
arrived at Pittsburgh Landing I'M
I'll forty-eight hours after the
claimant swore he had been in
jured. On going through his
papers I found the affidavits Of his
captain and twenty-five other sol
diers all swearing to the facts as
stated by him. I was sure these
twenty-six men had not committed
perjury. I went TO the War De
partment. thinking there might
have been a clerical error in copy
ing. but the record was just as
reported at the Pension Office.
Finding that the nth Ohio, in
which Wood had served was
brigaded with the army which Gen
eral Sherman commanded. I wrote
TO Sherman. He replied, in sub
stance: See my memoirs, page So
and So" The date there agreed
with the one given by the claim
ant I went back to the War De
partment and said, General Sher-
man knows when the nth Ohio
reached Pittsburgh Landing"
The records were taken to the
Secretary of War. He said they
could not be changed even on
the authority of General Sher-
mans memoirs. seemed up
against 1t when It flashed across
my mind that the document looked
too new to be the original record.
Upon inquiry, I found this was

scorcher. So to enable Indianapd
lis movie fans to comfortably sed

true. The old worn records had
been stored away years before.
Some one was detailed to examine
them, and sure enough, there had
been mistake in copying. Cen
era1 Sherman and my old soldier
friend were right. Thirty-six hun
dred dollars back pension brought
comfort to that old man and his
wife.
1t seems to me now, as I look
back upon those years, that most
of the lawmakers and indeed most
Of the public, looked upon Con
gress and the government as a
means of getting some sort of ad-
vantage for themselves or for their
home towns or home States.
River and Harbor
River and harbor improvements
without merit, public buildings
without limit, raids upon the pub
lie lands and forests, subsidies and
tariffs, very largely occupied the
attention of congressman.
Lobbyists for all manner of pri-
vate interests, especially the rail-
roads, crowded the corridors Of the
capitol and the Washington hotels
and not only argued for favorable
legislation, but demanded 1t.
The genesis of the private inter
est idea in our government is per
fectly clear.
While the country was develop
ing rapidly. with capital scarce and
competition strong, it often seemed
that the best way, indeed the only
way, to secure the highest public
interest was through the encour-
agement and protection of private
interests.
To the wisest men Of the earlier
times in this country it seemed
important to encourage private in
terests, for example, in building
railroads; hence vast tracts Of land
were granted to railroad com.
panies.
Our forests and other natural
resources seemed unlimited, and
it was anything for growth and
development.
For long time, only in the case
of railroads did the public gen
orally begin to draw the line at
which the protection of private in
terests became the legalized plum
der OF the public.
In the newest and least de-
veloped sections Of the country the
line is still somewhat obscured.
Private interests, fed thus upon
public favors, became enormously
strong. Later the combination
form of organization appeared, and
competition began to be wiped out.
Trusts came into existence.
But the private interests, the
infant industries the "strug-
Cling railroads" instead of wanting
less government help when they
grew strong, demanded more. 1t
was easier to grow rich by gifts
from the government than by eff
cient and honest effort.
