The report says that the above
mentioned amount is due the pen
sloners under the acts of the lcgi-
Stature which fixed the amounts
pensioners were to receive.
The legislature" reads the re-
port, seeing that the returns arts
ing from taxation were insufficient
to carry on the government and at
the same time pay the pensioners
the amount which the law allowed
them, omitted to carry out the re-
quirements of the statutes.
1.-The result was the failure TO an
propriate the necessary funds and
the amount due could be paid only
ir part. This remarkable proceed
ing began in the year 1922"
The difficulties arise out of the
large pension roll in this state, the
report says this roll being almost
as Flarge as that of Texas. Texas
had on its rolls in 1923, according
to the report 1850 soldiers and
widows, and the amount paid out for
that year was 1,600,000; in 1924
Georgia paid $1,543,627.85 to her
1860 pensioners.
Comparison of pension payments
ofe various Southern States, as
shown in the report, show that
only two States paid out more il
pensions for the current year thar
did Georgia. The pension payments
of Texas were 1893, 581,' the larg
