Sergt. Chambers, a big, vigorous
man of "a who fought through the
Spanish war and the

a committee of the old soldiers of
the home to save the institution
from beng clipped under the re-
organization bill.
What people don't realize is
that the Soldiers Home doesn t
belong to the taxpayers the
sergeant said with emphasis. 1t
belongs to the soldiers of the
Regular Army who have been CIV
ing something out of their pay
each month to support it.
Cost Taxpayers Nothing.
That fund has grown to al
most $40 million dollars-soon will
be past that.
THE taxpayer never paid a
nickel to buy the Soldiers Home
property and build those build
ings. Gen Winfield Scott got the
first appropriation of 100000
from the Mexicans and he had
his artillery trained on their
capital when they forked over"
According to the sergeant, no

that the first reorganization bill
passed last summer had anything
to do with their institution.
