THE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON l'AQH TWO FRIDAY, JUNK 10, 1021 Nil OF III E PAID MONTHLY Herald Washington Bureau . WASHINGTON, Juno 10 All per sons drawing pensions from tlio Unit ed States, based on military or naval sorvlco, will rocolvo tholr pensions monthly; Instead ot quarterly, It tlio bill reported to tho houso favorably by tho commltteo on pensions bo--omos n law. This bill provides that, beginning Soptembcr, 1921, all ponslons shall "bo paid monthly on tho fourth day ot each month. Should this bill become a law and thero Is good prospect tor Its passage In both houses mora than half a million residents ot tho United States will bo greatly benefit. tod, and tho hardship of waiting ninety days for tho arrival of tlio pension will bo at an end. Will Affect All This affects all thoso drawing pen sions on military and naval service of tho war of 1812, war with Mexico, tho Civil war, tho war with Spain, tho various Indian wars up to 1891 and all thoso granted up to the tlmo ot the World war. Congress In providing for tho compensation of soldiers and sailors of the World war provided that all compensation should bo raado on a monthly basis. This now bill is to plaoo the other -pensioners ot the government on tho samo basis as Totorans of tho World war. Thero are two hundred and twenty fivo thousand soldiers who entered ervIco In the Civil war now on the ponslon roll and there aro moro than 280,000 widows drawing pensions be cause their husbands wero soldiers In tho conflict of tho states. All told, cxcluslvo ot tho veterans ot tho World war, thero aro now approxi mately 571,000 persons on tho pen sion roll ot tho United States. Fall Favors mil In commenting on this bill, Secre tary of the Interior Fall, wfio favors tho legislation, has this to say con cerning tho proposed change: ' "Salaries and wages are univer sally paid weekly, bimonthly or monthly, and retail business general ly la conducted on a cash basis or on short time credit, thirty days at the longest. "The men and boys who entered the army or navy defense ot tho gov ernment In the world war were most ly persons who earned their liveli hood with their hands or brains and who had up to the beginning of their service received their wages weekly, Bimonthly or monthly. In considering these facta the congress doubtless reasoned that if It was considered good policy to pay salaries and wages at short Intervals to people In good health to enable them to use tholr In come to the best advantage. It would bo equally as good policy and more necessary to pay tho compensation to disabled men, widowed' women and minor orphaned children at the very shortest practicable Intervals, and fliod upon tbo monthly payment as the proper period. For Monthly Payment "Now, if upon full consideration of the facts and conditions tho congress doclded thnt tho compensation to bo paid by tho bureau of war risk In surance to soldlors and sailors ot the World war and their dependents should bo paid monthly, I think It Is fair to assume that taking into con sideration tho necessarily advanced ngos of tho pensioners of tbo war ot 1812, tho Mexican war, tho Civil war, tho war with Spain, and tho In-1 dtan wars, all ponslons paid by the bureau of pensions should bo paid monthly. "As stated boforo, thero aro now approximately 505,000 soldiers nnd widow pensioners of tho Civil war nlono, nnd tho great majority of them depond largely upon their pensions for support. Many, perhaps most of thorn, bavo no other sourco of In come,. They llvo on a throo months' credit and whenever, as sometimes happens, a quarterly check miscar ries In their malls nnd Is not received ion tho date It Is due, complaint Is wade, frequently with a heart-rending story, about tho hardship on--tailed by the failure ot tho check to arrive on tlmo. Chocks Sometimes Lost "Sometimes a quarterly check Is lost in tbe-maJls or otherwise, and In such case a duplicate check cannot be issued until after tho lapse ot thirty daysifrom the date of tbo orig inal, and tbon only after an indemni fying bond has been furnished by the pensioner. That takes time and oauses some expense to the pensioner and prolongs considerably the period between payments. Aa a general rule, duplicate checks do not reach their owners older two months from the z 4aes of the rifftaal or lost heck. VM penatoaer therefore nff era much lnconvcnlonco and great hardship It ho has no othor Income, and his cred itors llkowiso aro Inconvenienced. "Assuming that tho congress did right In making tho payment ot com pensation by tho bureau of war risk Insurance monthly and that no chango will bo mado In tho law, there Is no apparent reason why tho con- gross should not bo asked to author lzo monthly payments to pensioners paid by tho bureau of pensions. Discrimination Keen "Under tho oxlstlng laws It appears thnt thero Is a discrimination In fa vor of a comparatively youthful list of beneficiaries receiving compensa tion and against n largo list of very aged benoflclarles receiving pension "Tho payment of pensions monthly would onnblo ory many CM1 war pensioners to rccelvo ono or two months' moro ponslon than they got, for tho reason that thoy are dying at tho rato ot about 4000 a month and many of them llvo until within a few rdays ot tho quarterly payment. If paid monthly, thoy would recclvo pension up to tho fourth day ot tho month of tholr doath If thoy died of tor that date" New Ribbon 50 pieces ot now fancy hair bow ribbon per yd. i 49c Long Silk Gloves 10-button, nil colors $1.50 and $2.50 DISSATISFIED WITH m GUT Local railroad workers In all bran ches from section hands to engineers, have had considerable discussion among themselves regarding tho Hall road Commission decision, delivered Juno 1, announcing a 12 per cont cut In wages and as a eliding scalo is used as a baso for reductions, there Is not so much fault found with It, as tho cut In some classes of service runs as low as 7 per cent. However, tho decision made by tho Southern Pacific railroad company to cut 15 per cent has not met with the approval ot tho railroad men who run from Weed to this place, or out of Kirk. The men stato that on thft main line of tho Southern Pacific, living expenses aro lower and the'eut will not affect employees thero as it will oa this branch line where ex penses are higher for food, clothes and personal expense: The consensus of opinion among the branch! line em ployees Is that tbo rallwawommls slon award is fairer than The com pany stand. Railroad men say that since June 1. the main lino from Portland south has been busy with heavy shipments from tho north ,due to tho marine strike and all the employees who are on leave, ot absence have been called m for service. Emergency tripe have been mado by the local branch men on the main line since Sunday. The railway employoee welcome the increased business and are glad to be busy again aftor a quiet win ter. Dut what effect tho BOttlomrnt ot the marine striko will mako on the local lines was not announced.
