REMEMBER THE VETERANS
All signs point to an increase of revenue
in spite of the tax reduction according to
dispatches released by the Associated Press.
The country is prosperous and the Treas
ury shows a surplus after all government
needs have been satisfied. The public debt
is being cut down at the average rate of
$900,000,000 a year. In these circumstances
it does seem a pity that Congress does not
grant an increase of pensions to the rapidly
dying veterans of the civil war and their
widows. There are only 114,000 veterans
left, and the number of widows is about
200,000. The deaths are at the rate of 2,
000 a month in each class.
The veterans are now 80 years of age and
over. They are mostly dependent upon their
pension, which is not sufficient to keep
them in comfort. They should receive at
least $100 a month each, without qualifica
tion as to their physical condition or other
means of living. The United States is now
in a position to pay off its debt to these sav
iors of the Union. No one would be injured
by this small allowance. The taxpayer ]
would not feel it, and might even obtain a
reduction in taxes notwithstanding the al
lowance of a more liberal pension to the
civil war veterans and their widows.
Every consideration of humanity, grati
tude, and public interest calls upon Cong
ress to make the declining days of the rem
nant of America’s defenders comfortable
and free from want.
UNIQUE LETTER RECEIVED
Editors are never so calloused that they
do not appreciate letters from their readers
expressing appreciation, the editorial col
umns of the Juneau Empire of recent date
announced. And because the letter, which
is quite unique, approves of the Empire's
position with regard to its opposition to
brown bears, the letter was set down liter
ally as follows:
