VOLUME XX;
CONGRESSMAN STATES
Excerpt from speech of John C.
Schafer, Fourth Wisconsin District,
taken from the National Tribune of
July 22:
Mr. Schafer.
Mr. Speaker and
gentlemen of the Houst, I shall vote
for this bill, although it does not
give adequate relief to the veterans
of the Civil War or their widows.
This bill comes before us in the
closing days of the session under
suspension of rules with only 20
minutes’ debate on the side and
without an opportunity for amend
ment or debate under the five- min
ute rule. This is another example
of the dictatorship which has enter
ed into the government system of
America under the present adminis
tration.
Economy, economy, alleged econ
omy. When it comes to pass legis
lation to take a few dollars out of
the Treasury for the benefit of
those who have borne the brunt of
battle in the time of the Nation’s
wars and for their widows and de
pendent orphans economy is the cry,
but when the multimillionaires and
those representing special privilege
— including those who amassed the
big fortunes during our wars, and
especially during the late world war
— want taxes reduced to an enor
mous degree then this administra
tion advocates and passes at the be
ginning of the session a bill provid
ing for the relief of this wealthy
and monopolistic class. It is about
time that this Congress ceases to be
a rubber stamp for the Executive
Department and the man behind the
throne, Andrew Mellon, the Secre
tary of the Treasury, who contends
that the expenditure of millions of
dollars in Pennsylvania primaries
were like donations to a church.
H. R. 4023 was unanimously re
ported by the Pension Committee
and placed on the House Calendar
on April 9, 1926. This legislation
gave real recognition to the veter
ans of the Civil War and their wid
ows. The committee report shows
that the estimated cost of the legis
lation embodied in H. R. 4023 was
$52,817,000 for the fiscal year of
1927. The Administration and the
President knew that if the original
bill as reported by the committee
had been brought before the House
for a vote, there would have been
few votes against it.
Therefore,
the bill was deleted and now, as
Congress is about to adjourn, the
deleted bill is brought before the
House and the memoership of the
House is powerless to vote on legis
lation which a great majority of the
members desire to have enacted.
The deleted bill now before us, ac
cording to the committee report,
will cost $15,000,000 for the fiscal
year of 1927. The veterans of the
Civil War and their widows have
reached the twilight of life, and their
number grows less day by day. As
a member of this House, I deeply
regret that the policy of so-called
economy of the Coolidge Adminis
tration precludes us from consider
ing the original bill granting in
creased pensions to these worthy
veterans and their widows.
