Would Pension ExConfederates
Principally because the Get
tysburg encampment has served
to draw attention to the differ
ence between the way Confeder
ate veterans who are pensioned
ed by the Southern States and
the provision made for Union
veterans by the Federal govern
ment^ many congressmen are
preparing to urge that the Fed
earl government also pension
the men who wore the gray.
Already two bills to correct
the inequality between state and
Federal pension syiem have been 1
introduced in the House.
Repreentative Hobson of Ala
bama, has introduced a bill an-'
thorizing the Secretary of the
Interior, who has charge of the;
Pension Bureau to establish and
maintain a roll of all Confeder
ate veteran who are pensioned
by the the Southern States, with
the amount of each pension and
the amount each veteran would
receive were he a veteran of the
Union Army. The Secretary is
directed to pay such Confeder
ates the difference between the
two amounts. It is provided
that in no way shall the pension
paid by the Federal Government
exceed the amount paid by the
state. The bill would make only
veterans who are now pensioned
by the states eligible for federal
pensions.
Another bill, by Representa- j
live Edwards of Georgia, goes |
farther. Under this measure
all Confederate veterans and
their widows would receive a
straight pension of $30 month-1
